Rebirth in the 50s: The Couple with the Hidden Space novel Chapter 413

Chapter 413: Chapter 311: Lin Family Turmoil 2

Lin Dingsheng laughed and said, "Uncle, this money cannot be left unpaid. Isn’t it unreasonable for us to borrow money and not repay it? How would we borrow from you in the future? Uncle, why don’t you calculate how much we still owe? I think we shouldn’t take out Grandma’s stuff; I’ll repay this money myself."

Zhou Xiaozheng, hearing this, gave him a meaningful look and then turned his gaze to Mrs. Lin.

He silently cursed in his heart, truly damn good at talking. Borrow money again? Who said it was borrowed money? Big mouth, big heart, repay money? Can he even afford it? It’s not that he looks down on this kid. If the Lin Family thinks a child like this can shoulder the family’s burdens, he reckons the old man will die with unfulfilled wishes.

Seeing the situation, Lin Lishan hurriedly said, "You don’t even have enough money to spend with your monthly salary. How will you repay the money? Dad, why are you discussing money with Brother Zheng? It’s the money my mom asked me to keep for her, only she can repay me. Why would I want your salary?" After speaking, she awkwardly gave Zhou Xiaozheng an apologetic smile.

Don’t even mention the nephew repaying the money; even if the brothers on her side join in, it would take several years. She’s not foolish and had Zhou Jiao secretly calculate it long ago. Not even discussing her salary, just the family’s savings, if left untouched in the foreign bank, earn a huge interest over time. Her daughter Jiao Jiao had privately told her long ago that she shouldn’t expect to get the money back, and if this matter can be avoided, it should never be brought up. Bringing it up more only makes things worse!

Zhou Xiaozheng, seeing her bluntly point out the truth with a single sentence, couldn’t help but want to laugh. This wife of his may lack other strengths, but she’s pretty good at hitting where it hurts.

Li Jianjun, hearing the old man talk about repaying the money, immediately grabbed his wife Lin Liyin’s hand, not allowing her to speak. At this moment, he looked at everyone’s expressions and squeezed his wife’s palm again heavily.

He sighed secretly in his heart, money blinds people. No one noticed where the key conflict between the Lin Family and his brother-in-law Zhou Xiaozheng lies, still bringing up borrowing money now, isn’t that just making people more upset? Who said it was borrowed money?

Now he even doubts Lin Dingsheng’s character. Does this child think anyone is dumber than him? He’s almost tempted to remind that the money belongs to Zhou Jiao. They haven’t even been asked to manage it; it should have been returned to Jiao Jiao long ago.

Mr. Lin looked towards his youngest son-in-law Li Jianjun, making eye contact with him, hoping he could speak up to smooth things over.

Li Jianjun lamented inwardly. He rushed over on an empty stomach and still had to participate in this matter. Was that easy for him? But seeing his father-in-law’s white hair and the sincerity in his eyes, he couldn’t help but feel a pang of sorrow.

He cleared his throat, smiled, and said, "Haha... let’s not mention this money for now. Have you all forgotten that this money belongs to Jiao Jiao already? Dad, besides Xiao Lin’s wedding, what other matters are there?" He didn’t dare to say it was a joyous occasion; he remembered well Zhou Jiao’s solitary wedding.

Mr. Lin, hearing this, immediately slapped his forehead and instructed, "Go call Jiao Jiao over, you from the eldest family. It really needs Jiao Jiao to speak."

Zhou Xiaozheng impatiently frowned and said, "Jiao Jiao is at home taking care of the child alone, don’t call her over. If she came, she would say the same as I do. Dad, if there’s nothing else, you all should start eating."

"What about Xiao Wu? Having him come over would be the same."
