Rebirth in the 50s: The Couple with the Hidden Space novel Chapter 416

Chapter 416: Chapter 313: Lin Family Turmoil 4

In the bedroom, Mrs. Lin sat on the bed, staring at Zhou Jiao, who sat down without a word. She recalled seeing Gu Mingzhu many times in the past, and the other always looked down on her as if she were invisible—no wonder she’s the spawn of that vile woman, three generations all the same!

"At that time, one US Dollar was equal to one gram of gold. According to the exchange rate back then, 11,300 US Dollars could be converted into 22.6 pounds of gold. I’ll settle that 30,000 with your mother later."

Zhou Jiao nodded. She didn’t mind, it made no difference to her. She had other uses for that money. As for her mother’s money, let them sort it out themselves.

Mrs. Lin painfully counted out a box of gold. The last two taels were grudgingly cut in half with big scissors to make up the weight.

Zhou Jiao looked at the remaining gold with a smile. She estimated the old lady still had plenty. What a miser! Always taking advantage.

In the end, for some bizarre reason, Mrs. Lin picked a set of gold inlaid jade jewelry from a jewelry box and handed it to Zhou Jiao, leaving her quite surprised—this old lady was certainly unconventional.

Carrying the box, Zhou Jiao saw Mrs. Lin bringing two big boxes of jewelry back to the living room. With a smiling face, Mrs. Lin asked Lin Liyin to call everyone in and invited Zhou Jiao to sit first.

Well then—at this moment, Zhou Jiao realized the older the ginger, the hotter it is. No wonder she was given the entrance fee in advance, the old lady was about to put on a show. Sigh...was it necessary to put up a facade of peace?

When the Lin Family members entered the living room, they saw the smiling Mrs. Lin waving at them, with Mr. Lin chatting and laughing with Zhou Jiao, which made them all happy—it seemed the problem had been resolved.

So kids, you’re too naive! The seasoned actors were back in character.

"Alright. Just now, Jiao Jiao and I have agreed. I have nothing else on hand, so I can only give her something as a token. Fortunately, she is my biological granddaughter, so I just gave her some small things. Now I have these two boxes of jewelry, which I’m too old to keep around. Just in time for today’s separation, I will distribute them to you all. Don’t ask me for more later."

Zhou Jiao smiled at these words. Where could her mother’s 30,000 go to ask for? She didn’t say anything, just watching the performance of the solo singer and the collaboration of the actors. She believed there was more to come.

"Before distributing them to you, I have to pick some to make up to Shanshan. Over the years, thanks to this child’s help, the family can live a good life. Jiao Jiao, you choose first." Mrs. Lin looked at Zhou Jiao with loving eyes.

Zhou Jiao knew that she was unwilling to part with the cash-convertible gold, and planned to use the jewelry as compensation. Although jade was priceless, she was aware that the value of these things was quite low now—30,000 yuan could buy the whole living room. She thought about how the old lady was unreliable, having just said she would settle accounts with her mother, and now reneging.

"You choose." Zhou Jiao resolutely stated immovably. Choose what? If you have the guts, split all the remaining gold. This stinginess is truly annoying.

Mrs. Lin laughed and said to her husband, "See, this child is really polite. Jingru, Xiao Yu, do you two sisters-in-law think I should keep a box for your eldest sister?"

Chen Jingru glanced at Zhou Jiao, nodded, and said, "Of course. Mom, do you think I can let Jiao Jiao take my gold back with her?"

"No need. You keep your share. I will make it up to Jiao Jiao later when there’s a chance." Mrs. Lin quickly said.
