Rebirth in the 50s: The Couple with the Hidden Space novel Chapter 549

Chapter 549: Chapter 431: You’re Concerned About the Wrong Person

Lin Liyin had suspicions about the old lady’s motives. Was her own mother deliberately leaking information to make outsiders doubt Zhou Jiao to retaliate against her and her father? Otherwise, with the old lady’s shrewdness, how could she come up with such an outrageous idea?

As a daughter, there were things she couldn’t say. But Zhou Xiaozheng and his daughter weren’t fools; she didn’t believe that if she could think of this, they wouldn’t have thought of it either.

Seeing her still angry, Lin Liyin sighed silently. Some things aren’t just about making a move; it also depends on whether others are willing to engage.

"Alright, don’t be angry. I’ll go over immediately. Is there anything else? Write it down slowly, and I’ll handle it all together."

Mrs. Lin wanted to smile in satisfaction but quickly realized she couldn’t. Frustrated, she tore the paper with her pen and then carved deeply into it — telling them to come over immediately.

Seeing this, Lin Liyin couldn’t express her emotions. There was a sense of bitterness but more of being at a loss for words. She couldn’t even invite one Zhou Jiao over, yet she wanted Zhou Xiaozheng to come. What capacity did she have?

She looked sadly at her mother, who was still so self-righteous and took everything for granted. The saddest part was that she didn’t dare go to the Zhou family herself. If she felt guilty, why couldn’t she figure it out? Why couldn’t she remain quiet?

"Fine. I’ll convey your wishes. I’ll go over now." The implication that Lin Liyin left unsaid was still clear — she would go, but as for whether they would come, that would be out of her control.

Leaving the veteran rest center, she hesitated at the intersection for a moment and rushed home to get her pass. Not having time to say a word to her sister-in-law and the children, she pushed her bike out the door.

"Sister-in-law, where are you going? Eat something before you leave."

Her sister-in-law’s voice called from behind, and Lin Liyin replied, "I’ll eat when I get back." She couldn’t take care of her rumbling stomach anymore as she hurried towards the big courtyard.

In the living room, Lin Lishan and Zhang Guoqing were sharing laughter at a funny point, while Zhou Xiaozheng and Zhou Jiao were playing chess with smiles. Next to them, Little Ping’an was busy building a "house."

The whole family was in harmony, just when Lin Liyin entered with Aunt Chen.

"Oh, I’m starving. Sister, is there anything to eat at home? Quickly get me something."

Lin Lishan asked Aunt Chen to fix something for her and curiously glanced at her, "Why haven’t you eaten yet? Did you come over with something urgent?"

"Oh... don’t mention it. I just got back from Dad’s. Jiao Jiao, when did you and Xiao Wu arrive? Why haven’t you visited your grandfather? He’s been thinking about you and wants you to visit him."

Zhou Jiao raised her head and exchanged a glance with her dad, the father and daughter smiling knowingly at each other.

Seeing her daughter smile without replying, Lin Lishan said, "We arrived the night before last, and we’ve been busy ever since. We’ll visit him after Dad returns to the big courtyard. The rest center is too far, so I didn’t have her running back and forth in this hot weather."

Zhou Jiao lowered her head and continued playing chess.

Seeing this, Lin Liyin glanced at the father-daughter duo playing chess and, after receiving a greeting from Zhang Guoqing, immediately left to accompany the child.

She was feeling agitated, glaring at Lin Lishan, "The child is afraid of heat, and so are you? How long has it been since you visited mom? I was called back by Dad today, covered in sweat and starved till now."

"It’s not like you don’t know the old lady doesn’t want to see me. Why did Dad call you back?"

Hearing this, Zhou Jiao sympathetically glanced at her dad, who tapped her head, making her stay quiet.

"The old lady wants to see Jiao Jiao and wants you to come over."
