Rebirth in the 50s: The Couple with the Hidden Space novel Chapter 657

Chapter 657: Chapter 533: Leave Me Alone

When Lin Liyin left a note and went out, it was already the time when the sun was setting in the west. There were quite a few old ladies repairing clothes in the alley, as well as the old men sitting in small eateries drinking Erguotou and bantering about the current situation.

She greeted the familiar neighbors and didn’t pay much attention to their strange glances. Lin Xuelin, with red and swollen eyes, left carrying her luggage; she had long known that people would gossip.

Riding her bicycle back to the Big Courtyard, she saw a group of people cheerfully shouting in the basketball court’s open space. Lin Liyin saw Zhou Jiao, holding a child with a smile, and couldn’t help but sigh.

Sometimes, one shouldn’t compare oneself with others.

What’s the difference between the Northeast and the Northwest? That young girl is doing well, steadily progressing step by step by relying on herself. Both are without their biological fathers around. How can there be such a stark difference between close cousins?

With a complex feeling, Lin Liyin entered the Lin Family Courtyard and slowed down her steps when she heard voices talking in the living room.

"I still suggest the kid shouldn’t change careers from the army. Old Lin, stop messing around, they’re doing well over there. My daughter should learn a lesson too. I heard they’ve started planting vegetables and raising chickens and ducks. Isn’t that good?"

Mr. Lin saw his youngest daughter at the door and cheerfully waved her in, "Why are you back at this time?"

"Nothing much, just bored, so I came home to see you. Uncle Jiang is here. Haven’t seen you in a while, how’s life treating you? Have Xuezhen and her sister contacted you?"

Mr. Jiang nodded with a smile, "Very well. Eating well, sleeping well. Those two girls have been working hard in the army recently. I went to see them and they said life is fulfilling. But unfortunately, the younger one still won’t find a partner."

Hearing about finding a partner, Lin Liyin paused. She couldn’t let that shameless girl affect the marriage of her younger siblings. Seems like she’ll need to discuss with the old man about sending her back to the Northwest as soon as possible. Otherwise, if she does something disgraceful in Beijing to return to the city, it would be over.

Mr. Lin quickly said, "It’s time to prepare for the marriage of Brother Li Sheng. Xiao Fei is already married. Have the two brothers mentioned any suitable candidates to you?"

Lin Liyin shook her head, "They wouldn’t talk to me about those things. Dad, what did they say about the ones you introduced to them last time? Still not working out?"

"I sent letters to ask, but they said they’re not in a hurry. Someone from the local Art Troupe took a liking to Dingsheng. The other party’s father sent a message to your second brother, but your sister-in-law is not satisfied. She says the girl is careless and not smart at all."

Lin Liyin chuckled silently. With Mr. Jiang around, she couldn’t say her second sister-in-law wasn’t any smarter. After all, she is his daughter; he’d be upset.

"A nice girl just graduated and came to my hospital recently. She’s from the South, very cautious, never speaks unnecessarily. Apart from her family background being not as strong, she’s got good credentials in all other aspects. Should we have the brothers come back and meet her?"

Mr. Lin hesitated for a moment and shook his head. The eldest grandson still lacks support from the Yue family, so he needed to see more. Pity the girl from the Yi Family he had always valued was snatched away by the Fang family.

Mr. Jiang sat for a while, chatted, and then stood up to go home.

Once he left, Mr. Lin finally said, "Is Xiao Lin still with you? Your mom hasn’t seen her at all. The child came by again today; did she go to your place to vent her anger?"

Lin Liyin looked at the old man with displeasure, wondering if telling the truth would affect his health. But not mentioning it and keeping that girl around is always a danger.

Seeing this, Mr. Lin felt a thud in his heart and stood up, saying to her, "Follow me to the study."

Lin Liyin steeled her heart and followed him in. Before she could sit down, she retrieved the necessary emergency medicine and helped the old man measure his blood pressure.
