Rebirth in the 50s: The Couple with the Hidden Space novel Chapter 449

Chapter 449: Chapter 338: The Huang Family Members (Part 2)

"A few days before you went on your business trip, their family returned. Little brother, do you know where Zhang Guoqing works? At the military department! He’s in a higher position now. I looked for him several times and finally caught him. Do you know what he said? He said he couldn’t interfere in internal affairs of the unit. And Zhang the Second is even worse, he actually told me to quickly confess and take advantage of the opportunity."

Huang Yaoguo heard this and leaned back, stroking his chin in thought. He felt he wasn’t getting enough sleep and his mind was a bit foggy. Logically, Zhang Guoqing isn’t the type of person to outright refuse; he’d first try to find out rather than reject directly. Did last year’s incident really affect the relationship between the two families?

He glanced at his older brother and suddenly asked, "Did you do something to upset Xiao Wu again? Don’t worry about Zhang the Second for now. You’ve taken it upon yourself to arrange the courtyard for our younger sister, which certainly didn’t sit well with him. Xiao Wu wouldn’t usually fuss over trivial matters unless you’ve offended him again, in which case he’s unwilling to lend a hand."

Huang Yaozong’s eyes widened at this, and he hastened to whisper to him, "There’s one more thing I haven’t told you. Don’t get mad. It’s not that I don’t trust you, that’s why I hid it. You’re usually too busy, so I wanted to handle it myself."

Seeing his brother acting so secretively, Huang Yaoguo felt a sinking feeling in his heart—this was bad.

"Before the New Year, I noticed your niece didn’t have a job, so I reached out to a few acquaintances, hoping they’d arrange a job for the child on Zhang Guoqing’s behalf. Don’t rush to respond. I was afraid Zhang Guoqing would get angry if he found out, so I even added our younger sister’s name. After all, she’s his elder sister-in-law, and our family was just hitching a ride."

"Haha..." Huang Yaoguo laughed from anger. He really hadn’t expected that his older brother, having lived so long, would regress like this. He had frequently seen his brother before the New Year, yet he didn’t expect his brother to pull such a move in secret. If his sister-in-law found out, she would definitely cut ties between the two families. Even if Zhang Guoqing wasn’t angry, who was he trying to prevent with this action? Would Zhang Guoqing really compete with his own niece for a position?

"Haha... Am I smart or what? Unfortunately, those people didn’t give me any face. They spoke nicely but didn’t help at all. Now that Zhang Guoqing is back, I wanted to ask for his help, but who knew this would happen? Now I can only deal with my own affairs first. Little brother, you’re on good terms with him, why don’t you ask him to take a look?"

Huang Yaoguo suddenly stood up and smacked him hard several times. Looking at his brother’s surprised face, he eventually dropped his hands powerlessly.

After a long time, he let out a long breath and said, "You’ve outdone yourself, and you’re secretly pleased. No wonder Xiao Wu ignores you—using his name to do things, how could that please him? He probably hates you now, let alone help you. You’ve jeopardized our younger sister. Foolishly following your commotion without thinking. Do you think Xiao Wu will speak to her from now on?"

Seeing his brother about to speak, he shook his hand to stop him from saying anything. He didn’t want to say anything further now. Probably the whole county saw his brother as a joke.

The moment Zhang Guoqing’s family returned, his brother’s position was put on hold—how convenient for some people to take advantage of the situation and test the waters, just waiting for Zhang Guoqing’s reaction.

If Zhang Guoqing intervened, those people would pretend nothing happened, and even arrange jobs for his niece and younger sister. But how is that possible? Why would he throw away his own favors and leave a weakness for others?
