Rebirth in the 50s: The Couple with the Hidden Space novel Chapter 611

Chapter 611: Chapter 490: Lin Family Jingru

In the late afternoon, deep within an alley in the northern part of the city, Chen Jingru carefully smoothed the heap of sorghum flour on the small bowl in the kitchen.

Beside her, her mother, Mrs. Chen, sat by the stove and lit the fire. Seeing this, she sighed, "Put a little more, when Xiao Hui comes over later, don’t let the child go hungry."

Chen Jingru gently nodded, but her actions remained unchanged.

"Jingru, what exactly are you planning? If you really get divorced, life won’t be easy. How long can that old witch live? Outlive her, and your days will get better."

Chen Jingru paused with the small bowl in her hand, glanced at her mother with guilt, and kept her mouth shut without saying a word.

"Forget it, I can’t control you, even if I say something, you won’t listen. All the neighbors envy you, but who knows that you’re the most unhappy at home. If I had known, I wouldn’t have let you marry into the Lin Family back then...

You, you just wouldn’t listen. You were doing well in college, why did you run so far away? Look, if you hadn’t met Lin, you wouldn’t have suffered all these years...

Your niece is refusing to go to school, and I’m rushing to get your second sister-in-law to agree. Reading too many books makes people silly, what school, it’s better to work early and earn some money...

Women can’t be compared to men after all..."

Listening to her mother’s ramblings, Chen Jingru’s thoughts drifted along with her words, past events flashing in her mind.

Sigh... what’s the use of thinking about these things? She shook her head hard, taking out wild vegetable leaves and chopping them finely. Then she thought about how the family would eat gruel again tonight and couldn’t help but worry about what to do if her son was hungry.

"...Linzi, I don’t know how that child is doing. She was originally not close to us, and now, without food coupons sent over, she’ll hate us even more."

Chen Jingru frowned and said in a low voice, "At home, you better not mention this child, the sisters-in-law don’t like to hear it. I’ve already sent her food, she won’t starve."

Mrs. Chen looked at her daughter’s face, mulling over the words, "Don’t hold a grudge against your sisters-in-law. Linzi was brought up by her grandmother not to be close to our family. Now she’s asking for fifty pounds of food coupons. It’s no wonder the sisters-in-law aren’t happy. Look how close they are to Xiao Hui, it’s not about favoring boys over girls."
