Rebirth in the 50s: The Couple with the Hidden Space novel Chapter 694

Chapter 694: Chapter 569: Dream On!

In the following days, Jiang Jiangyu displayed tenderness and agreed to her husband’s demands.

Thinking about the hundreds of dollars she was going to lose, her heart felt as if it had been stabbed several times by a knife. Yet, with the family still reliant on her husband’s income, she was left with no choice.

As Mr. Lin returned home each day with an increasingly unpleasant expression, Jiang Jiangyu watched everything with contemplation. She wasn’t sure if the situation was bad enough for Mr. Lin to give up on Old Mrs. Lin.

Standing in the courtyard, recalling her youngest son’s words from that night, Jiang Jiangyu couldn’t agree more. The approach was undoubtedly a loss-inducing one.

Whenever she thought about the future daughter-in-law not measuring up, she felt unfairness for her two excellent sons. Deep within her, a restless thought was starting to stir.

After hesitating for a long time, Jiang Jiangyu bit her lip, resolutely returned to the bedroom to change clothes, packed a bag, and after greeting the maid, headed out the door.

Thinking of facing the families in the Big Courtyard, she looked once more at her attire, secretly encouraging herself. It’s okay! So much time has passed, and she was just deceived.

Attempting to forget her life’s blemishes, Jiang Jiangyu boarded the bus, spent five pennies, and returned to the Big Courtyard.

Standing once more at her parents’ doorstep, she couldn’t help but glance back toward the small courtyard. She was back, after all, still the second daughter-in-law of the Lin Family.

"Ah, come in quickly. Today, your mother just made some pumpkin cakes, hoping to send some over after your father gets off work. Why haven’t the Victory brothers come over these past few days?"

Old Mrs. Jiang, her hair silver, happily pulled her daughter inside, this time closing the door tightly, unlike the usual open-door policy. This child returned, only now reaching the Big Courtyard, she must be ashamed of her previous wrongdoings. But as long as one corrects their mistakes, it’s okay. No one is without errors, and it’s never too late to amend them.

The thoughts of Old Mrs. Jiang were beyond the knowledge of her daughter Jiang Jiangyu, but it did not hinder her gratitude towards her mother. With the door closed, she could avoid being seen by families upstairs and downstairs.

Avoid if possible, she didn’t want to see those outsider’s strange glances.

"Your two grandsons are always out these days, I haven’t spoken a few words to them in a while, who knows what keeps them busy. Mom, did you peel the pumpkins for the cakes this time?"

Old Mrs. Jiang nodded with a smile, "Yes, I peeled them. How could I not when you all don’t like them? Your father got three pounds of flour this month, I steamed all of it, sharing it among your siblings, let the kids have a taste."

"You’re really generous. You should save good things for yourself, aren’t you worried the younger generation won’t have the chance to eat good stuff."

Old Mrs. Jiang cheerfully took her into the kitchen, "It doesn’t matter, let the kids eat more and grow; at my age, it’s wasteful to eat more. I’ve dried plenty of vegetables for you, make sure to take them back; the postage is expensive. The shipping fee alone could buy several truckloads of cabbage."

"No need, I’ve planted a lot where I am. We usually eat at the canteen. How much can you grow in this small yard?"

"No, you must take them. It’s for my younger son-in-law, not you. Your sister-in-law asked for them, and I didn’t give her." She patted her head, "Oh right, your second sister-in-law said she had inquired with several families, when you have time, go and visit her. Is this the family she’s found for Xiao Zhen?"

Jiang Jiangyu nodded, "Da Ya’s match has been delayed. I need to keep an eye out earlier."
