Rebirth in the 50s: The Couple with the Hidden Space novel Chapter 219

Chapter 219: Chapter 155: Take a Guess?

Lin Lishan looked at the interaction between the two men with envy and sighed, "Brother Zheng, the bond between you comrades is really strong."

"We’re brothers through life and death. He’s very genuine, ready to take a knife for a brother, very loyal, just a bit of a muddlehead. It’s not surprising others didn’t visit Jiao Jiao, but it’s odd he didn’t go. Do you know what he said? He thought your elder brother’s daughter was Jiao Jiao, mistook your sister-in-law for you, and even asked about it specifically in Beijing. He was worried about me, thought Jiao Jiao would ignore me while she was at her maternal grandparents. When the old man introduced Xiao Wu as the granddaughter-in-law, he thought it was your brother’s son-in-law. Xiao Wu really doesn’t look like he’s from a rural background. By the way, hasn’t your sister-in-law’s daughter ever mentioned him visiting her?"

Lin Lishan shook her head, "No, she’s never mentioned it. I do know your friend Zhao Chuan Guang."

Zhou Xiaozheng thought for a moment and said, "Shanshan, what do you think of your sister-in-law’s daughter? After all, her father isn’t around."

Lin Lishan frowned in frustration, "It’s hard to say. I didn’t think much before, but after seeing Jiao Jiao, I feel that child is not just reserved but inherently cold. Our Jiao Jiao, no matter how cool she appears to others, is very polite. No matter how much she dislikes someone, she maintains decorum and won’t embarrass them. That child’s pride is on the surface, but our Jiao Jiao’s pride is in her bones. Usually, she appears gentle and speaks softly, but when she loses her temper, her stern expression is a lot like yours, not many words, but each one is sharp. That child looks for a partner based on whether their family background matches hers. Our Jiao Jiao considers if the family is harmonious and if they’re easy to get along with. Different indeed, no wonder my dad says no one in the family can compare to Jiao Jiao."

Zhou Xiaozheng raised an eyebrow, "Oh, did the old man give such high praise?"

"Yes, he said I shouldn’t let the child do as she pleases, as she is no ordinary talent. If left to her own devices, without any restraint or pressure, she wouldn’t fight back. External events don’t affect her much because she doesn’t hold many people in her heart.

Last time the old man saw Jiao Jiao, he described her as low-key, cautious, steady, highly defensive, capable of controlling the overall situation, strategic, calculating, skilled, and politically sensitive. Unfortunately, her willpower is too strong, she’s not easily influenced, and won’t change her way of living, dealing with people, or principles for doing things.

Jiao Jiao is indeed intelligent, but not as much as the old man exaggerates. She’s very rational, always knowing what shouldn’t be done or thought of. Didn’t my father take Xiao Wu out for five days last time? He said, ’Jiao Jiao, guide me, I’m feeling anxious and restless now.’ Brother Zheng, do you know what Jiao Jiao said?"

Zhou Xiaozheng drove slowly, shaking his head, what was there to think about, she must have scolded him awake, precisely because she’s always had a plan in her mind.

Listening to his wife’s description, what his father-in-law had told him hadn’t been this detailed before. Shanshan had always talked about the grievances their daughter suffered. He realized he’d overlooked a critical point. What skills did their daughter have that made the old man want to take Xiao Wu out for five days? Her ability to predict their return was a sign of intelligence. Not surprising at all. Suddenly adding 28 parcels would be suspicious if it weren’t her. However, being able to control the whole situation, even if it involves 500 people, is remarkable. 17-year-old Jiao Jiao, he should think about how his Jiao Jiao should develop in the future.

Zhou Xiaozheng nodded after listening, "Those two are really nice, they take care of each other and point things out for one another. Our Jiao Jiao is smart and capable. Have you ever asked Jiao Jiao what she plans to do in the future?"
