Rebirth in the 50s: The Couple with the Hidden Space novel Chapter 612

Chapter 612: Chapter 490: Lin Family’s Chen Jingru (Part 2)

"Xiao Ru, quickly fetch some bowls. Let your mother do the house chores, okay?"

Mrs. Chen raised the ladle and waved it fiercely outside, "Do you hear this old fool? He’s been like this all his life—making me do all the housework. One day if I don’t cook, he’ll have to drink the northwest wind. I think I should just get a divorce from your dad. Being stuck with this man, there’s no good days ahead."

Seeing this, Chen Jingru stifled a laugh, turned, and took two bowls and chopsticks out of the kitchen.

Old Chen, seeing his daughter come out, chuckled joyfully.

He turned to Lin Aiguo nearby and boasted, "This kid is so filial, as soon as she arrives, she doesn’t stop working..."

"Dad, have some wine." Chen Jingru opened the lunchbox and saw it contained pig head meat, and the other was full of cabbage and shredded meat, leaving her with mixed feelings—how long had it been since her son tasted it?

She considered saving half for her son, but after hesitating for a moment, she abandoned the thought.

"Liu will come over later, after dinner, you all should head back soon. Xiao Ru, I won’t keep you; there’s not enough food at home, better to return."

Old Chen had a few drinks with his son-in-law and seeing they still weren’t talking, grew anxious. He decisively spoke up, these two are too slow. Whatever the matter, go home and argue if needed, but after arguing, they must still live well.

Thinking of divorce, what’s the big deal! This silly daughter has been like a widow for so many years, now that her husband is finally back, who allows her to divorce? The son-in-law has come back so many times now, it’s enough.

"Dad, it’s all my fault. Xiao Ru, come home, everything’s a mess without you. If you’re angry, take it out on me, don’t stay silent. How will I know what to change if you don’t tell me?"

Chen Jingru glanced at him, then turned and went back to her room. At this moment, she didn’t even want to be in the kitchen, to avoid hearing her mother nag again.

In the small room, two wooden beds were closely placed together, barely room to turn around. It was still the two nieces sharing a bed, leaving one for her. Thinking of this, Chen Jingru stood at the door, a bit lost.

She really couldn’t stay any longer!

Old Chen saw his daughter leave without a word, patted his son-in-law’s shoulder, and said meaningfully, "Treasure your wife, it’s your wife who’s dear when you’re old. After you go back, live well, and later when Liu comes back, I’ll find a way to make her return. Couples bicker, that’s normal, what’s important is not to hurt each other’s hearts. Once the heart is wounded, it’s really too late."

After saying this, Old Chen took a sip of wine and looked at his silent son-in-law, continued speaking.

"It’s not that I’m praising my daughter. Years ago, many people wanted her to remarry; she refused. Back then Liu hadn’t even started school yet, and someone had taken a liking to her, sending many matchmakers to persuade. But she always said she hadn’t fulfilled her duty to the family and still wanted to take care of your parents. Just like that, she lived with your parents."

Regarding this, Old Chen felt sad when he thought about it. He knew his in-laws looked down on their family. So except for necessary social occasions, he never let his family visit the Lin Family.

His daughter was stubborn, who knows how much grievance she suffered at her in-laws.
