Rebirth in the 50s: The Couple with the Hidden Space novel Chapter 879

Chapter 879: Chapter 752: You Must Love Me Even More From Now On

In less than fifteen minutes, from the four pant legs, more than a dozen heavy and light gold rings, six gold bracelets, and several gold chains of varying thickness were dug out. Some were inlaid with gemstones, clearly indicating they were acquired treasures.

Mother Zhang took out a handkerchief from her pocket, quickly wrapped the items before Zhou Jiao could speak, and stuffed them to the bottom drawer of the kang table, covering and closing it again.

"Mom?"

"What mom, what’s so strange. These were all exchanged for at the Black Markets in the provincial city by your dad and me over those two years, no one knows except your dad. I took the opportunity since you’re pregnant to get them for you from your dad, in case your dad makes a muddle-headed decision in a few years and divides them when Xi Zi and the others grow up."

Zhou Jiao was indifferent; others might cherish these things, but her space had countless such items.

She said nonchalantly, "If they get divided, then let it be; you and dad, as elders, will have face in the future too."

Upon hearing this, Mother Zhang frowned with worry and gave her a sidelong glance, "These were exchanged for the money and grain you gave us, why give them to outsiders? A daughter-in-law is just so, will the granddaughter-in-law honor us?"

Zhou Jiao, with reddened eyes, let out a laugh.

Mother Zhang also realized what she said and burst into a laugh, "This old lady forgot you were the daughter-in-law."

Zhou Jiao looked at her emotionally. Her mother-in-law genuinely regarded her as her daughter; otherwise, she would certainly have handed them to Zhang Guoqing, her elder son, not her.

"Don’t look at mom like that. I’ve kept those gold bracelets you all gave to me," Mother Zhang hesitated for a moment and whispered, "Jiao Jiao, mom has selfish motives. You must remember, these things, in the future, mostly go to Ping’an."

Zhou Jiao understood her intent and dared not harbor any resentment. The child who is adopted out bears the surname Zhou; although said to be her grandson, there is still a difference.

"Mom, thank you."

Mother Zhang sighed, "It’s not that mom is biased towards any grandson, even if the child carries your surname, he is still my own grandson. By rules, your mother’s family possessions won’t include Ping’an in the future. Save more for the child’s foundation, and don’t let the kids below him differ too much later on."

Zhou Jiao didn’t explain that her dad wouldn’t be biased or that Zhang Guoqing wouldn’t mistreat Ping’an; talking about things that haven’t happened is empty talk. She solemnly said, "Mom, don’t worry, they are all my sons; I will definitely find a way to level the field."

Mother Zhang gave her a side-eye, "You mean to say mom is biased?"

Zhou Jiao just laughed in response.

Is there any doubt? Her mother-in-law was biased towards Xiao Wu, and then biased towards Ping’an. Hmm, later she would secretly add more to these so that they could be distributed equally among the sons, ensuring the children properly honor their grandparents.

Outside, Lin Juhua’s voice was heard.

Mother Zhang immediately went forward, pulled open the latch behind the room door, opened it, and replied, "In the room."

Upon hearing this, Zhou Jiao hastily took out a needle and thread basket and a pack of cotton from the kang table cabinet and placed Mother Zhang’s two pairs of pants on her knees.

Mother Zhang saw this and smiled contentedly - she said Jiao Jiao was clever in her family.

When Lin Juhua came in and saw Zhou Jiao stuffing the cotton, she complained, "Mom really, why not let me? Jiao Jiao’s pregnant body compressing it is exhausting."

"Second sister-in-law, come, sit down. Where’s my big sister-in-law?"

"She’s keeping Grandma company, busy absorbing experiences." Lin Juhua glanced at the pants and said, "Give them to me; I’m used to doing it quickly."

Mother Zhang pulled her to sit next to her, "No need, it’s usually you at home doing work for us, now let Jiao Jiao express her filial piety, let her do it slowly."
