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

Chapter 50: Chapter 40: Gathering Storm (Part 2)

The flowers bloom in pairs, each showcasing a branch. Zhang Guoqiang and Lin Juhua stood there, waiting for the work whistle to sound. Many people gathered around, and she gave Zhang Guoqiang a look, heading towards the group of chatty girlfriends, pretending to be troubled. She had just noticed Sun Meili there. Sun Meili, she knew, was originally engaged with Wang Youlin from the Wang Family, but the engagement gifts were snatched by Zhou Xue. She ended up marrying into an average family, and since Sun Meili’s family and the Wang Family were from the same village, she and Wang Youlin grew up together and had a good relationship. Zhou Xue would often mockingly criticize her, and now that the secret was out, she would surely take leave to go back to her parents’ house. With her personality, she would confront Zhou Xue in front of many people, and word would spread.

"Juhua, what’s wrong? Why the gloomy face? What do you have to worry about? You really don’t appreciate your blessings. You’re the luckiest in the village, look at how great your mother-in-law is." The sharp-eyed wife of Zhang JianShe, Lin Ling, curiously asked, knowing that Juhua is usually all smiles.

Lin Juhua glanced at her, sighed, and stopped short of speaking. The few little wives who were usually friendly with her saw her like this and knew something was up but hard to talk about, all encouraging her to share it and let them help with ideas.

Lin Juhua didn’t speak immediately. This time, she just wanted to avoid the crowd. Once there were fewer people, others would be more curious, and it would spread faster. She glanced at Sun Meili again before turning around, making Sun Meili suspicious that it might have something to do with her. But thinking about it, there wasn’t much involving her family, after all, they had a good relationship. But she didn’t ask, feeling that too many people were around, and she didn’t want everyone to know her family’s business.

Others looked and walked away too; the story would come out eventually. Lin Ling, Sun Meili, and another little wife, Zhang Aihua, stayed. Lin Juhua looked far away and deliberately frowned, sparking their curiosity even more.

Sun Meili saw Lin Juhua’s worried face and thought it might really be related to her, couldn’t help but ask, "Juhua, just tell us, this doesn’t seem like you."

Lin Juhua, seeing it was almost time for work in half an hour, had to give people the time to ask for leave, deliberately spoke with an air of irritation, "I didn’t want to say anything, but you know my short temper, just thinking about it makes me angry."

"What happened? Did you really have a fight with your mother-in-law? Don’t do that; your mother-in-law is recognized as the best in the village. She prepares meals and looks after the kids at home. Didn’t you say you were separating after the New Year? You should see what it’s like with my mother-in-law, who doesn’t even lend a hand and insists on waiting for me to come home to cook. The pigs at home are so hungry they call out, and she can catch someone at the gate to chat." Sun Meili advised.

Zhang Aihua also said with envy, "You don’t know what it’s like with my mother-in-law; she hides everything in her room, and last time the fishing rod hidden in the cupboard went bad with bugs. Plus, our sisters-in-law aren’t as good as yours, your eldest sister-in-law doesn’t even keep an eye on what you do more or less, the golden baby always plays with you since childhood and is affectionate to you. Your husband listens to you meticulously; what more do you want... life can’t be compared, you need to feel at ease yourself."

"Alright, I know you’re all concerned for me. It’s not about the mother-in-law, it’s our Jiao Jiao."
