Rebirth in the 50s: The Couple with the Hidden Space novel Chapter 263

Chapter 263: Chapter 197: Chilled to the Bone

Zhang Guoqing was driving, constantly keeping an eye on the old lady. He saw the silent smile as she glanced at the bamboo basket and bags in the back. Seeing this scene, his nose tingled with emotion.

Seeing how old she was, what exactly was contained in that smile, such sadness? What else in the Zhou Family made Old Sir Zhou devise schemes against his father-in-law? There are no father and son like this in the world, their relationship so distant that they are worse than strangers. Even Zhao Chuan Guang knew that Zhou Jiao would never return to the Zhou Family in the past. He wanted so much to ask the old lady if his father-in-law was really her son, but the words just couldn’t come out of his mouth.

He could see too many things clearly. Since his father-in-law returned, the only close elder sister didn’t come back to see him. His big uncle Zhou Xiaocun stayed at the police station, while that woman often went to the countryside to find people and make connections. It was only because Zhou Jiao is Zhou Xiaozheng’s daughter, with the Lin Family’s banner, otherwise, he really wouldn’t know how a woman could have the energy to find Zhang Zhifeng.

Zhang Guoqing sighed to himself and spoke, "Grandma, how is your health now? Let’s go to the county hospital for a check-up first, then I’ll take you to see my dad."

Mrs. Zhou waved her hand, "No need to bother, I’m fine. Xiao Wu, you should know by now. Your grandpa had me fake an illness to force your dad to come back. Sigh... let’s not talk about it. Just ask your dad to finish his business and go back. You and your wife should persuade him; if there’s nothing, he shouldn’t come back. Even if I pass away, he doesn’t need to return. This heart is truly broken. He doesn’t owe the Zhou Family anything, the Zhou Family owes him, owes Jiao Jiao."

Zhang Guoqing watched the old lady as she spoke, and as she spoke, her thoughts drifted. He didn’t remind her, slowly driving the car, not knowing where to go.

In his courtyard, Zhao Dashan and his wife should be there. He didn’t intend to disturb their peace with the old lady’s worried face, nor did he plan to take her to see Jiao Jiao. If she wanted to see Zhou Jiao, she would have gone to his house long ago, probably nothing more to say. He could only wait for the old lady to come back to her senses and go see his father-in-law with joy.

Zhang Guoqing slowly drove towards Master Fatty’s place.

The old lady, after all, from a wealthy family, quickly controlled her emotions. Seeing him driving east of the county, she curiously asked, "Why are you heading this way? Which village is your dad in? There’s no one familiar here."

"Grandma, there’s an Imperial Chef descendant here, everyone calls him Master Fatty. I plan to ask him something. My dad drove to another province early in the morning and asked me to deliver those things to you right after he returned. He should be at home discussing matters with his comrades now, we’ll go back soon. I’ll just go in and come out quickly, and my mom is cooking at home, so I won’t take you in for a meal. I’ll bring you and Jiao Jiao next time, Jiao Jiao hasn’t been here yet."

"Okay, just be careful yourself. No rush, take your time talking to them, I’ll wait for you in the car."

The car stopped at the entrance of Master Fatty’s big courtyard, Zhang Guoqing asked Mrs. Zhou to wait a while, carrying the food box, he walked inside. There weren’t many customers during the day. Zhang Guoqing called out as he went straight to the kitchen, and Master Fatty happened to hear and came out to greet him.

"Master Fatty, I’ll place the food box here. Do you have some time now?"
