Rebirth in the 50s: The Couple with the Hidden Space novel Chapter 691

Chapter 691: Chapter 566: Affecting Future Generations

Lin Dingsheng pretended not to notice, walked to the jujube tree in the courtyard, circled it with interest, and looked up at the lush fruits on the tree.

"There are quite a lot of jujubes, we should have a good harvest if we pick them later. Grandpa, do you know any family with a pomegranate tree? We should plant one too, the meaning is good."

Mr. Lin nodded happily and said, "Sure. I’ll ask around when I get back."

Xuezhen ran to her big brother’s side, jokingly said, "Haven’t even found a wife yet, and already thinking about having kids so soon? Aren’t you embarrassed?"

"What’s there to be embarrassed about? Getting married is all about branching out the family line."

Xuezhen rolled her eyes and muttered, "Really not romantic, no wonder you’ll end up a bachelor for life."

After speaking, she darted over to Jiang Jiangyu, glanced at the elderly people over the past two days, and softly asked her, "Mom, how much does the cheapest courtyard in the city cost?"

"Why are you asking? With your eight yuan monthly salary, don’t bother, go find a good man instead."

"None of your concern, if you don’t tell me, I can still find out myself." Xuezhen retorted defiantly, her gaze turning to her big sister, "Sis, how much private savings do you have? We can pool together and buy a small courtyard."

Xue Li flatly refused, "Not interested. Your brother-in-law, as a squad leader, doesn’t earn much, it’s just enough for us two to spend."

"Doesn’t your mother-in-law give you money? Isn’t she always spoiling the youngest grandson? And you got quite a sum from marriage gifts when you got married." Saying this, Xuezhen tugged at her, gesturing to Jiang Jiangyu who was about to speak.

The two sisters left the courtyard, Xuezhen looked around, found an empty spot, pulled her over, took out a handkerchief from her pocket, dusted off some stones, and sat her down.

As the sun set, a streak of light remained in the west, and the evening breeze brought some coolness, but unfortunately, the stones under them were still slightly warm. However, Xuezhen was too preoccupied to care.

She scrutinized her big sister’s expression, "Are your in-laws mistreating you? Or is there something wrong with your brother-in-law? How come we haven’t seen him visit these past days?"

She had her reasons for saying this.

In her eyes, Xue Li’s marriage should not have been so rushed; at least observe for a year or two before proceeding.

When Mrs. Lin had a stroke and was feared not to survive, Jiang Jiangyu, from far away in the Northwest, hastily wrote a letter asking her eldest sister and sister-in-law to help arrange the eldest daughter’s marriage.

As a result, Xue Li chose Wu Tianbao, a soldier, from among a few people and got married in less than three months. This had always left Xuezhen resentful towards her mother’s decision.

Xue Li laughed and shook her head, "How dare they mistreat me? I have a job and money, and your brother-in-law is just a squad leader. He can’t take leave easily from the military."

Xuezhen suspiciously eyed her, "There’s still something that feels off. We sisters are still close despite being apart, can’t you confide in me?"

Xue Li bitterly smiled and patted her head, "What nonsense are you saying?"

"Really. Sis, don’t you find your relationship awkward? Look at Jiao Jiao and Xiao Min, they’re nothing like you. Even Little Aunt, her husband comes to pick her up right after work."
