Rebirth: Back To 1990s novel Chapter 17

Celia went to a tailored shop. She had intended to make a beautiful dress for her aunt. However, it was too tiring. Then she selected a set of tailored clothes from the shop. The cloth and style were both good.

The shopkeeper would like to charge her 25 dollars. Due to her both hard and soft tactics, he gave her five dollars less. It was quite expensive to buy a suit at that time, but as long as it could please her aunt, Celia thought the money was worth it.

As she was about to leave, she remembered the patched blouse Wendy wore. Without hesitation, she bought her mother a simple one with the same price.

Although she was short of money then, she thought it was worth it.

Money was a bastard, just earn hard and spend hard. It seemed that she had to spare no effort to make money after going back. The shoes on Wendy's feet were shabby and broken, and she wanted to buy a new pair for her when she made enough money.

Seeing Celia come back with two bags, Zack didn't ask much. After all, she was a girl. As a man, he shouldn't ask much.

On the motorcycle, Wendy gave a hot pancake to Celia and said that it was bought by her uncle. Celia said she was not hungry so she cut half of the pancake to Wendy.

This was the most delicious meal she had ever had since she went to the 1990s. She was grateful for her uncle.

"You're back. Why don't you help me to do the housework? Why are you fooling around?" Jane Wang, Zack's wife, looked impatient. She ignored Wendy and Celia following behind.

"What do you mean by fooling around? I have a business to deal with. I bought some meat today, and you make some radish for us tonight. Let's have a reunion dinner." In the 90s, it was already a luxury for ordinary families to eat meat.

"Family reunion dinner? Now you're back, here come some persons who want to reunite with me. Why didn't anyone come when you were in the jail? I've been waiting for you for so many years all alone. " As she said this, Jane Wang choked with sobs. What she really meant was quite clear.

"Jane, what are you talking about? You know that my sister and her daughter have been living a hard life in the Tang family these years."

Jane had vented all her anger on his elder sister for so many years.

After Zack was put in prison, it was truly the first time for Wendy to visit her. Wendy used to work until the sunset in Tang family and she did everything under the watch of Granny, so she had no personal time, let alone go out to visit her family.

"Jane, it is my fault. I have never come to see you before. Now that Zack has come back, you two can live a peaceful life. I and Celia will not disturb you."

Wendy also felt guilty. As Zack's elder sister, she was unable to protect herself even in the Tang family, so she rarely cared about her own family. She thought that it was reasonable for her younger brother's wife to be angry. After she said that, she intended to leave with Celia.

"Wait a minute, mom."

Celia broke free from Wendy's grip. Her uncle was her mother's only family member, and she should get along well with her aunt. Besides, her uncle was nice to her.

"Umm, aunt Jane, you are still so beautiful. I went to the town today and saw a set of clothing in the tailoring shop that looks very nice. It suits you perfectly. Take it if you don't mind."

Celia handed the bag to Jane.

"For me?"
