Rebirth in the 50s: The Couple with the Hidden Space novel Chapter 470

Chapter 470: Chapter 357: Something Happened

Outside, Lin Xuezhen, who realized she had caused great trouble, was so frightened that she threw herself on Mr. Lin and cried, only to be forcibly pulled away by Mr. Cheng in anger.

Now is not the time for crying, what use is there in not trying to save people?

Mr. Cheng didn’t expect to witness such a scene just as he stepped out. Earlier, he noticed Old Lin had taken too long in the restroom, and when he came out to look for him, he found them eavesdropping. He was about to cough to alert Jiao Jiao, but who would have thought he would hear those few words?

In the living room, Zhou Xiaozheng and his son-in-law were chatting with the old lady; the commotion outside made it clear something had happened, and they rushed out in fright.

"Quickly, move him to the car and head to the hospital immediately. Old Lin, please don’t get agitated. Hurry, Xiao Zheng, go start the car. Xiao Wu, carry your grandpa."

As soon as Zhou Xiaozheng came out, he saw his daughter’s pale face standing dumbly at the door, her eyes vacant.

Disregarding Lin’s fallen figure, he hugged Zhou Jiao, patting her, "My dear, don’t be afraid. It’s alright. Dad is here. Darling, wake up, it’s okay now. Dad’s by your side, look at Dad."

Zhou Xiaozheng kept patting his daughter, glanced at the fallen Mr. Lin, and frowned, urging Zhang Guoqing to quickly get him to the hospital.

At this moment, he noticed his wife crying out loud, calling for her father, completely ignoring their frightened daughter.

Immediate anger flared up in him, and he shouted, "What the hell happened? Can someone explain?"

Old Mrs. Cheng, watching the chaos before her and hearing Ping’an’s cries from inside, quickly drew Zhou Xiaozheng and his daughter into the room.

As for the fallen Old Lin, they had enough people around. The old lady was only concerned about her nephew’s family and couldn’t be bothered with others.

Zhou Jiao watched as Zhang Guoqing swiftly picked up Mr. Lin, and a group of people ran out of the courtyard.

At this moment, she closed her eyes and, with a trembling voice, asked, "Dad, could I have accidentally caused Grandpa’s death? I didn’t mean it. I was just so angry I blurted it out, how was I to know he was outside."

Zhou Xiaozheng patted her lightly, saying, "It’s okay. I just saw, it was just a bout of anger that weakened him, it wasn’t a stroke, he won’t die."

Zhou Jiao let out a long breath of relief. As long as he’s not dead. She didn’t care about the Lin Family, but Mr. Lin had been kind to her. Her issues with Gu Ruyi should not get him involved.

Seeing Mr. Lin fall just now, she seemed to see Grandpa Zhang again — Grandpa Zhang on the hospital bed, Grandpa Zhang smiling at her, Grandpa Zhang being wheeled into the crematorium with closed eyes.

In the courtyard, two girls from the Big Courtyard were too frightened to speak. It wasn’t until the group left for the hospital with Mr. Lin and the Zhou Family was left empty that they hurriedly held hands and ran to Zhou Jiao’s room.

"Jiao Jiao, are you alright? Sorry, we didn’t expect anything bad to happen. We just wanted to play a prank to scare you, but then Grandpa Lin told us not to make a sound."

"Jiao Jiao, you must be okay. Otherwise, I’m dead when I get home."

By now, Zhou Jiao had regained her composure and shook her head, "It’s okay. When did my grandpa come over? How much did he hear?"

Under the watchful eyes of Zhou Xiaozheng and Old Mrs. Cheng, the two girls dared not hide anything. They exchanged glances, and one of them stuck out her tongue and whispered, "Grandpa Lin heard everything. We came over intending to scare you, not to eavesdrop. It wasn’t until we huddled under the window that he came and told us to keep quiet, even gave us a glare."

Zhou Xiaozheng gave a sideways glance at his daughter when he saw she had returned to her usual self, "Did you spill everything with your mom? Your mother has reached a point where you can’t stand it and spoke out."

Finished with his words, seeing Zhou Jiao lower her head silently, he sighed and stroked her hair. This child overthinks things, but since they dared to act, why shouldn’t his Jiao Jiao call them out?
