Rebirth in the 50s: The Couple with the Hidden Space novel Chapter 681

Chapter 681: Chapter 556: The Current Situation of the Lin Family

The "they" who deeply annoyed Ping’an were, at this moment, gathered together with Mr. Lin on this hot night.

Besides the eldest Lin Aiguo who was on duty, Lin Dinghui who was in school, and Lin Liyin who was recuperating back home, many other Lin Family members were gathered in the living room.

The tightly closed doors, despite the numerous ice blocks in the room, made the originally spacious area feel even more crowded and oppressive.

Mr. Lin had aged significantly in recent times, with a head full of white hair, deeply furrowed brows, and trembling hands, all of which showed his true exhaustion.

Many things, as events unfolded, had surpassed Mr. Lin’s imagination. The seasoned Mr. Lin, who had been through warfare for half his life, clearly felt a huge net surrounding his family, quickly closing in.

In this series of maneuvers, he hadn’t stopped speculating on the motives of the mastermind. Whether probing openly or investigating secretly, apart from two rival families with grudges and his suspicious son-in-law, he couldn’t confirm anything, nor knew where to start.

Mr. Lin glanced at his family members with varied expressions, and irritably waved his hand, "All of you scatter, the eldest and Victory, come to the study with me, the rest, accompany your mom."

Chen Jingru sat motionless, watching the old man take his sons and grandsons into the study, thinking of her son’s words, she lowered her gaze.

Sure enough, her son wasn’t even on their minds; not even a word about why the child wasn’t here. Her son must be so insignificant to be ignored by family like this.

As soon as Jiang Jiangyu saw the old man leaving, with a swoosh, she darted from her chair to Chen Jingru’s side, grabbed her arm, and whispered, "Sister-in-law, come with me inside."

Chen Jingru shook off her hand, extended her arm, stood up, and replied, "No, I’ll go check if Auntie’s late-night snack is ready. You have a good relationship with Mrs. Lin, she likes you, keep her company."

Jiang Jiangyu rolled her eyes at her departing figure, pursed her lips, and went to her two daughters, following them into Mrs. Lin’s room.

Before getting close, the smell of urine hit her nose, and Jiang Jiangyu immediately yelled, "Where the hell did Auntie go? Baby, quickly call her over."

Lin Xuezhen glanced at the old lady pretending to sleep on the bed, rolled her eyes at her mom, "Keep your voice down, or you’ll disturb Grandpa and get kicked out."

Jiang Jiangyu awkwardly curled her lips, muttering, "You brat, the older you get, the less you respect your mom, just like that other brat from the elder family, all ingrates."

Seeing her sister about to retort, Lin Xueli tugged at her, "Go call someone to clean up."

Jiang Jiangyu watched her younger daughter leave, leaned over to her elder daughter, and said, "Didn’t they say your grandma can speak now? How come she doesn’t even call out for bathroom help now?"

Lin Xueli harshly pinched her mom’s palm, fuming inside. If the old lady heard such words, she’d take it to heart again. If she wasn’t so helpless due to her worsened conditions, she’d have started throwing things again.

Jiang Jiangyu pursed her lips, nodded at her, and, holding her breath, she came to the bedside, stared at the old lady for a while, and feeling she was asleep, she quietly returned to her elder daughter’s side.

Sitting back down, she whispered into her daughter’s ear, "It’s fine, your grandma is asleep."

"Stop walking back and forth, it’s making me dizzy."

"Got it. Why have you also turned like your sister? I wonder why you two ran off to join the army? Your aunt doesn’t even help."
