Rebirth in the 50s: The Couple with the Hidden Space novel Chapter 24

Chapter 24: Chapter 14: Confronting the Shrew

At this moment, Uncle Zhou’s wife barged in and shouted, "Why can’t she send the money? Isn’t she going to support you in your old age? Even if Jiao Jiao doesn’t want to, as a daughter-in-law, she still has to take care of the elders, right?"

Grandma Zhou was so angry she glared at her and shouted, "Fine, she can pay for our retirement, but then the inheritance should also be split in half. And the money she’s sent over the past ten years, how much of it was actually spent on Jiao Jiao? Even a wolf with white eyes isn’t as ruthless as you. Do you think you’re the only smart one? You’ve supported your whole family, made your mother’s family wealthy. You’re well-known throughout the whole county. I’m just waiting for the Lin Family to show up, see how they deal with you........"

Grandpa Zhou quickly interrupted Grandma Zhou, "Eldest’s wife, do you have no respect for the elders? Is this how you treat them? Get out of here!"

While Grandpa Zhou was speaking, Huang Zhaodi had already reached into the bag Zhang Guoqing brought. She pulled out milk powder, bottles, pig trotters, and diapers, clicking her tongue as she went through them. She called out, "Xiao Wu, this must be sent by your mother-in-law, right? You can’t keep it all for yourself. Your child’s so small, let me use the milk powder and this towel first.

And give these pig trotters to your grandpa and grandma to nourish them. You’re really something, just for having a baby you have so much brown sugar, how can you finish it all? People would think you’re having ten or eight kids!"

Zhang Guoqing was so angry he almost laughed, how shameless could one be to say these things? He didn’t hold back and directly pushed Huang Zhaodi away while packing up, "Aunt, I went to the city early this morning to get these with my two elder sisters’ help.

You better not take them. You know my elder sister, she doesn’t care if you’re National Day’s aunt. If you come to the door, you’re doomed, really, I’m not lying to you. Do you know how many favors she had to use to get these things?"

Huang Zhaodi turned pale from Zhang Guoqing’s words, also frightened. She knew Zhang Meili was fierce, not only would she curse people, she would beat them. After beating, she’d demand an apology; she always had the right reason.

Zhang Guoqing felt that whether Old Sir Zhou was truly unaware or pretended to be, some things Zhou Jiao couldn’t say, so he decided to expose them directly.

"And the things my mother-in-law and the Lin Family sent, aren’t you the most aware? The military coats and uniforms for the two big cousins were sent by Jiao Jiao’s little aunt;

The two big cousins’ watches, one was sent by Jiao Jiao’s grandpa, and the other by the second uncle;

Your eldest daughter’s cashmere coat was sent by my mother-in-law, and the new cotton-padded jacket and pants your eldest daughter’s son is wearing was sent by my mother-in-law for my son;

And the sewing machine and bicycle your mother’s family got were sent by Jiao Jiao’s grandpa; should I list more? Do you think others are all fools?

Whenever your eldest uncle goes to the post office, do you know what the post office people say about him? You say outside that it’s Old Sir Zhou’s war friends who sent it, but the post office people laugh and ask if all Old Sir Zhou’s friends are surnamed Lin?"

Zhang Guoqing continued speaking while watching the elderly couple, afraid they couldn’t handle it, truly ripping off the mask. If Huang Zhaodi hadn’t provoked him today, he intended not to expose it.

Looking at the old couple, it’s clear Grandma Zhou was truly kept in the dark. As for Old Sir Zhou, Zhang Guoqing thought he wasn’t much better than Huang Zhaodi.

"Do you know what military postal service represents? When you have time, go ask someone. If the Lin Family pursues this, your Huang family won’t be able to stay fenced in.

Think about how much you’ve swallowed, let’s not mention the things sent by the Lin Family even before Jiao Jiao went to junior high. Just from the point of our marriage, how much has the Lin Family sent? When they knew Jiao Jiao was pregnant, how much did they send?

From pregnancy to now, in a year, the post office has recorded 24 times, up till the day your eldest daughter wore the cashmere coat and mocked Jiao Jiao. My mother-in-law and the Lin Family sent a total of 18 times from Beijing, and another 6 times were sent separately from various troops. Think about how much you’ve swallowed? Where do you get the nerve to act this way? You think Jiao Jiao doesn’t know? She just doesn’t want her grandparents to be sad and troubled.

This time the package collection was recorded under Uncle Zhou’s name, you don’t understand, but doesn’t Uncle Zhou? The job for your eldest son was arranged under the guise of Lin Lishan from the Lin Family, you should think of a solution, or else it’ll implicate your eldest son.

You should now start thinking about cleaning this up. I guess these 24 packages were sent quite densely, and maybe the Lin Family will come over after a while."
