Rebirth in the 50s: The Couple with the Hidden Space novel Chapter 778

Chapter 778: Chapter 653: Slapping Someone in the Face—This Is a Tough Skill

The cool breeze swept away the summer heat, but Lin Juhua’s mood at the moment was like a roller coaster. She realized she seemed to have brought up an inappropriate topic.

"Discuss with your sister-in-law. Don’t worry about how many return gifts Jiao Jiao gave, just follow the usual social exchanges. Even if you don’t reciprocate, your two uncles won’t mind. But whether they are relatives or others, reciprocation keeps relationships lasting."

Lin Juhua quickly said after hearing her mother-in-law, "My sister-in-law and I have been worried all morning, but now that you’ve said this, we’re clear on what to do."

Mother Zhang glanced at her amusedly, thinking she wasn’t so senile after all.

She patted the ground, sat down, and laughed, "What a big deal, you really shouldn’t worry. There’s not much issue with old family relations. Now that you’re in charge, pay more attention to the etiquette with the families your husbands associate with. Do not let that slip.

Your grandfather always said he’d rather tighten the belt than treat others poorly. He had countless friends, and every time he reciprocated, your grandmother would worry. She said when a woman runs the house, she manages the man’s reputation. If she returns too much, it’s unaffordable; too little, and people say your grandfather is stingy."

Lin Juhua laughed, "It’s really like that."

"Your grandmother discussed everything with your grandfather her whole life. When we first joined the family, your grandmother said, ’What is living together? It’s the couple discussing things together.’

"Mother, you’ve told me that before."

Mother Zhang glared at her, teasingly scolding, "Little girl, as long as you know it." Then she turned her gaze to the elder daughter-in-law, "You too, don’t keep everything in your heart. Couples should discuss things together for a harmonious life."

Huang Cuilan nodded.

Mother Zhang didn’t want to say much more in front of her second daughter-in-law to save face for the elder one. She changed the subject, "Are you free tomorrow?"

The two sisters-in-law shook their heads, looking at their mother-in-law with questions in their eyes.

Mother Zhang had wanted to speak but thought the matter wasn’t arranged yet. She wasn’t in a hurry and would see how Jiao Jiao approached it later. Such delicate work couldn’t work without her.

"Go back and make clothes first. I’ll take the three of you to visit relatives in the next few days."

Lin Juhua and the others didn’t pay much attention, thinking they were visiting the two uncles, and both expressed they had time.
