Rebirth in the 50s: The Couple with the Hidden Space novel Chapter 638

Chapter 638: Chapter 515: Premeditation

Zhou Xiaocun glanced at his frantic father, feeling powerless, and got up to leave the room.

In the main room, Aunt Zhou, Zhou Liru, had stopped crying and was leaning against the wall, silently watching the old lady’s body.

The old house in Zhou Family Village. Ever since they moved out, it had been devoid of life. Weeds grew rampant in the courtyard as Old Man Zhou’s grandsons and granddaughters were cutting the grass and tidying up.

Upon hearing the door move, Zhou Liru’s eyes lit up, and she got up to join Zhou Xiaocun, "What did Dad say? When will he go see the clan leader?"

Zhou Xiaocun recalled he forgot to ask this question, "He’s in a bad mood; let’s wait a bit."

"Big brother, shouldn’t you and Dad move back? It’s inconvenient for me to visit you where you are now."

Zhou Xiaocun surveyed the surroundings for a while and shook his head, "Let’s talk about it later. Where’s your husband? Why hasn’t he come over?"

Zhou Liru hesitated for a moment, "He still has matters at the team; he might come tonight. How many days do you think we should keep the vigil for?"

"Dad wants that person to come back to see Mom one last time. Let him decide. If your husband doesn’t want to come, just let it be; don’t ask him."

Zhou Liru sneered, "Why let that bastard come back? He didn’t even greet me last time he returned. Especially that brat who didn’t even lift her eyes when she saw me on the street and just walked past, making me lose so much face and being laughed at for ages. Our family had matters and went to the county to find her, and she drove them away, full of arrogance. She even said not to heap all sorts of things on her because she wouldn’t take it. That brat, she has no sense of remorse."

Beside her, her second daughter-in-law sneered at the sight of the funeral clothes on the old lady, bowing her head with a sarcastic smile. How daring! It’s always the main family, the main family as if they are your ancestors!

"They won’t come back, let’s not talk about them, it’s disheartening! See if there’s anything else we need to prepare, first get the kids started on it."

"Understood, I’ve asked the niece-in-law to prepare. Mom endured so much in her life; we must let her leave peacefully."

Aunt Zhou’s second daughter-in-law spoke up once her brother-in-law had left, "The funeral clothes on Grandmother were prepared by Zhou Jiao. I think they might come back."

Aunt Zhou glared at her, "You short-sighted thing."

In front of everyone, seeing the sympathetic and mocking looks from the other daughters-in-law, the second daughter-in-law’s face turned red with anger, feeling that her goodwill in comforting her had gone unappreciated.

In anger, she shouted, "I may be short-sighted, but was I wrong? What good comes of your high stance? People you try to curry favor with won’t even give you a glance..."

Before she finished speaking, she grabbed her coat and ran out.

Aunt Zhou clutched her chest, pointing a finger at her retreating figure, "Rebellious, rebellious, how dare you speak to the old lady like that..."

Seeing things get out of hand, several niece-in-laws from the Zhou Family fled in fright.

The youngest grandson in Old Zhou Family, Zhou Linan, witnessed this scene and shouted angrily in a subdued voice, "If you want to quarrel, get out. My grandmother is still here. Do you want her to leave unsettled?"

At his shout, Aunt Zhou finally closed her mouth quietly.

Zhou Linan pursed his lips, frowned at the sisters-in-law who had left on pretexts, and the brothers pretending not to hear in the courtyard, sighed silently.

The sky gradually darkened. Zhou Linan worriedly glanced at the master bedroom. I wonder how his grandfather is doing? Not a person had checked on him all afternoon.

He stood up, came to the door, knocked, "Grandpa, it’s me."

Old Sir Zhou hazily heard the voice, "Come in."

Seeing his youngest grandson, Old Sir Zhou sat up, leaning against the brick bed, "Don’t be sad, your grandmother left early to suffer less. Her body endured several more years."

"Grandpa, are you alright?"
