Rebirth in the 50s: The Couple with the Hidden Space novel Chapter 174

Chapter 174: Chapter 129: Heart-to-Heart Talk (Part 2)

I always thought your mom would take care of you. With her personality, even if she couldn’t, she would definitely hand you over to your grandmother. Our family has money, so we’re not afraid that your grandmother wouldn’t take care of you or worry about you being wronged. I thought I’d be back after one or two years.

Who knew your mom always believed I wasn’t dead and was keen on finding me, leaving you to your grandfather. After seeing you and returning, I secretly compared you with other five-year-olds and increasingly felt you were thin and weak like a three-year-old, so I tried every possible way to hint to your mom. But she was dumber than a pig, even your uncle helped think of many ways.

When there was no other option, I secretly prepared a house and told the two elders if you hadn’t come at eighteen, they should secretly find you and take you to Shanghai. If I had died, and you couldn’t make it in the countryside, you could return to Shanghai and have your own house, plus the courtyard in Capital City. You would never be without support, though I never thought you’d still be forced to marry in the end."

Zhou Jiao saw her dad was very unwilling about her getting married. Indeed, fathers-in-law and sons-in-law are rivals. Unlike her mom, the mother-in-law was quite satisfied with Zhang Guoqing.

"The summer when I was ten, I couldn’t stand it anymore; I missed mom. I finally pleased grandpa to give me a chance to call mom, telling her I wanted to see her, but mom refused. At that time, my heart felt cold, thinking no one in this world cared about me anymore. Plus, since childhood, they always told me I was abandoned by mom, fatherless. I received letters from her for six years but never opened or replied to them.

Later, after having a child, realizing you were still alive, I opened them to see. I wanted to seriously think about how to find my way out of confusion and revisit those around me, only then did I know it wasn’t my mom who didn’t want me. She repeatedly said in her letters you were still alive, wanting to follow your footsteps to find your presence. Seeing those hints, I knew she wasn’t unloving. It’s just that her living belief was to find you. So, I don’t blame my mom, but deep inside I resent grandpa for why he left those things to be said by the family.
