Rebirth in the 50s: The Couple with the Hidden Space novel Chapter 652

Chapter 652: Chapter 529: Have You Made Enough Trouble Yet?

Zhang Guoqing was not wrong in his assumptions.

——Zhou Xiaocun lay on the small bed in the guesthouse, unable to sleep despite days of long-distance travel and running around Beijing all day today.

The more he thought about it, the more a fire raged in his heart. ——The thought of the months of effort going to waste made him grit his teeth in anger.

Coming to Beijing was no easy feat. How much money had he spent, how many favors had he exhausted for that letter of introduction? Yet, Gu Ruyi, that old hag, had a stroke.

The most ridiculous part was that the bastard child had a falling out with her as well. The relationship between the two families was so bad that even a stranger like him could hear insider information, indicating how terrible the situation was.

The thought that the leverage he held might be useless made Zhou Xiaocun increasingly unwilling to accept it. Everything was vastly different from what he had planned. Just thinking about returning home empty-handed made the veins on his hand pop as he gripped the bedsheet tightly.

His mind kept replaying everything he had encountered over the past half-year, increasingly feeling the need to meet Gu Ruyi, but unfortunately, he couldn’t enter the Big Courtyard.

Today, just as he was about to use the letter of introduction to register, he suddenly realized that his name was only one character off from that bastard child Zhou Xiaozheng, making it easy to expose himself, so he turned back immediately.

Luckily, he had been cautious, otherwise who knows what consequences he would have faced. He hadn’t expected his family name to be notorious like an evil ghost.

As he asked around, the more he heard people sympathize with that bastard father and daughter duo, the more fearful he became.

He decided to finish his business quickly and leave before they reacted. Having just arrived in Beijing, his desire to stay was quickly fading. He wasn’t foolish enough to hang around and face disaster.

Zhou Xiaocun simply couldn’t sleep, so he got up and poured a glass of water, sitting on the chair to drink while pondering. Unfortunately, without evidence in hand, he could only threaten that old woman. Otherwise, he would have been able to bypass her with a note, find a rival of the Lin Family to gain some benefits, and even profit doubly.

After much consideration, Zhou Xiaocun decided it was best to approach the youngest daughter of the Lin Family, Lin Liyin. Firstly, she was Gu Ruyi’s favorite, and secondly, she should be concerned about his intentions toward Gu Ruyi.

Zhou Xiaocun slapped his thigh and secretly decided to go through with it. The woman was in the hospital, making it easy to find her without all the hassle of introducing oneself.

After repeatedly considering his plan for the next day’s itinerary, Zhou Xiaocun finally succumbed to sleepiness, getting into bed and sleeping peacefully.

Meanwhile, a house in the western part of the city was also not peaceful. Late at night, the sound of arguments could still be heard, and an aunt in the alley yelled that it was time to sleep since everyone had to work the next day.

Finally, there was peace.

In the living room, Lin Liyin frowned deeply as she watched her eldest niece, Lin Xuelin, standing with her hands on her hips, glaring angrily at the two younger sisters-in-law.

"Have you made enough of a scene? Criticizing this and that, is there anything you do like? If you don’t want to stay, go back to your husband’s house, or return to the Northwest early."

Lin Xuelin stomped her foot, tears streaming down, "Am I the one causing a scene? They did it deliberately, accusing me of eating your food, using your things. If I moved around the room a bit, both sisters would roll their eyes at me."

"Sister-in-law, don’t listen to her nonsense. If we were doing it deliberately, would we have given you a bed to sleep in? You wanted to wear our clothes, and we didn’t dare say anything. You changed clothes these past few days and threw them to my sister without saying anything. Didn’t my sister help you wash them? You’re simply being unreasonable."

"Little sister, stop it. Sister-in-law, you should go sleep, you have to work tomorrow morning."

"You’re the worst, saying one thing to my face and another behind my back. What did you say to your two nephews? Saying I’m a guest, so they should avoid me. I’m their real sister; do you really need to speak up?"
