Rebirth: Back To 1990s novel Chapter 18

"Please forgive me for that. I was too harsh just now. Our parents have died many years ago. It's not easy for us to live. In those years, she raised Celia up in the Tang family and had a bad time. As her brother, I failed to protect her. Now I can't stand that others treat them badly."

Zack blurted out his innermost thoughts. He could stand that others bullied his sister, but how could his wife be rude to her and her niece.

"Zack, as long as you live a good life, I will be relieved."

Wendy said, her eyes getting red. Although Zack had been in prison before, he treated his sister with all his heart.

"Auntie, please don't be angry with uncle. My mother and I were kicked out of the Tang family with no money at all. Without uncle, my mother and I would have been starved to death. We have borrowed five hundred dollars from Uncle Zack to run some small business. You can rest assured that I will not borrow it in vain. I can give you interest. If you is not assured, I can write an IOU note for you. "

Celia said in a serious tone. Financial matters should be settled clearly even between brothers. After all, Jane was her aunt, and she had to get things clear with her.

However, she didn't tell her aunt about the 200 dollars for repairing of the house, and 500 bucks was a lot of money at that time. If she mentioned the 200, her aunt must be very unhappy. No one would think he owned too much money.

"Celia, what are you talking about? Do you want me to let you and your mother starve to death? The villagers would definitely look down upon me. " Zack said with determination.

"Well, what are you doing? You make me look like I don't know how to behave. Fine, let's make it clear to you. A few hundred dollars in my locker has disappeared all of a sudden. I have to find it out. Zack didn't tell me, so I'm a bit angry about it." Said Jane directly.

"Aunt, now that the misunderstanding is cleared up, stop being mad. I will return the money to uncle soon."

To relieve her, Celia swore.

"Don't be so stubborn. You have been driven out by the Tang family. There must be a lot of things to buy. You can use the money first. As for the money return, we will talk about it later." She was not an unreasonable shrew. It would be fine as long as the matter was talked out.

"Thank you, auntie. Then my mother and I will leave now."

Seeing that Jane had softened her attitude, Zack breathed a sigh of relief. Celia also thought it was time for her to leave.

"We aren't bothered by you. I'll take you two home after dinner, right, Jane?" Zack took a look at his wife on purpose. His wife had said something so harsh that it had to be her who asked them two to stay.

On top of that, he had noticed several men's evil gazes on Celia when he took her to town that day. She had a gorgeous face, which could hardly be found on someone else.

"Your uncle asked me to cook some radishes for you just now. You can go inside and have dinner with us tonight. I'll make it later."

Jane was not argumentative. She lifted the meat and walked towards the kitchen. Celia followed behind. "Auntie, let me cook. You adults can go and chat with each other. I'll make the dinner very soon. And there is also the suit I just bought you. Would you like to try it on?"

Since she had to ask Zack for help later, she certainly had to coax her aunt.

"You can cook?"

As for Jane, she just remembered Celia as a little kid.. She was shy and introverted back to then, and she didn't like to talk to people. They hadn't seen each other for a few years, but Celia was so generous that she didn't recognize her.

"I can cook a little, but I'm sure it's not as good as aunt's. you go in first. I'll handle it here."

Celia then made her aunt out of the kitchen. Although she was a CEO in her previous life and rarely had the chance to cook, before becoming the CEO, she had been used to living a hard life, so it was not difficult for her to cook. Although the current condition was limited and she had no specialty, she was still capable of cooking.
