Zhang Guoqing, a 21st-century orphan, and his pregnant wife, Zhou Jiao, were working hard for their future when a massive inheritance suddenly fell into their laps. On their way to the hospital for...
Soon, Zhang Laoer felt that his outlook on life was overturned.
"I'm just taking the college entrance exam, not abandoning my husband and children. Why can't you trust me?"
Zhang Laoer glanced at his mother-in-law who was sitting on the ground and making a scene, then looked at his little nephew, the only good thing that could come out of a bad bamboo in the Lin family, who was now frowning in a daze.
Sigh... no matter how I look at it, it makes me sad!
This damn child is really good-looking and looks the most like his wife, but why doesn't his brain have the same style as his wife? It was all in vain. He was also relieved that the Lin family finally had someone who understood.
"Uncle, please and Auntie, please judge for me. If I pass the exam, I'll have a job in the future and my family will have an income, right?"
Zhang Lao Er looked at his niece's wife with a stern face, "If you really can't take the exam, what will happen to you? Don't forget what you said when you wanted to enter this family."
What do you say?
She just saw no hope of returning to the city, and Lin Gang was good-looking. But who knew that now the opportunity had come, she wanted to return to the city, and never wanted to face the loess and back to the sky again.
When Mrs. Lin heard her son-in-law say this, she thought he didn't agree, so she quickly got up from the ground and said, "Yes, I really won't let you take the exam, what can you do?"
Zhang Laoer didn't bother to pay attention to his mother-in-law. She was just a troublemaker! He even broke the law to force someone to take the college entrance examination for such a trivial matter.
He kicked Lin Gang.
Lin Gang suddenly came back to his senses, turned his head to look at his uncle who was obviously unhappy, and shuddered, "Uncle..."
"What do you think?"
Without waiting for Lin Gang to answer, Old Lady Lin shouted, "What are you considering? You can't take the exam, you can't take the exam. If you pass, you'll lose your wife. Didn't you see that her parents kept the letters they sent her secret from her family..."
Zhang Laoer frowned and glared at her impatiently, which made her shut up unwillingly.
"Let her take the test!"
"Then why are you looking like that?" Lin Juhua, who had been sitting quietly, glared at her nephew with dissatisfaction.
Lin Gang smiled bitterly and spread his hands, "I was wondering what a husband and wife is."
"Gangzi?"
"Grandma, if you really love me, then let her take the exam. You've always looked down on her, right? If she's leaving, then let her go. What's the point of having a woman who can't keep her heart?"
"She's already had a baby, right?... I don't have any problem with her. She doesn't want to work in the fields, but I don't force her to..."
"Gangzi..."
Lin Gang glanced at his wife and pulled Zhang Laoer up, "Uncle, come for a walk with me."
Zhang Laoer looked at him with admiration, and followed his force to walk out of the yard.
The man must be unhappy at this moment. Seeing this, he didn't say much and walked on the Maomao Road with Lin Gang.
"Uncle, when you first came to the city to work, did you ever think that my aunt was not worthy of you?"
Zhang Laoer glanced at him and said, "You idiot, don't compare any woman to your aunt."
Lin Gang didn't get angry when he heard this, but instead laughed heartily. "Uncle, do you know what I admire most about you? It's this. You're such a man!"
As he spoke, he sighed again, "Ever since I was little, I've envied Shitou and his family. During those years when they were studying in the city and living in your house, I wished I were your biological son."
"There was no scolding, no crying, the whole family gathered together for dinner, you told a joke, I cracked a laugh. At that time, I thought that I must find a partner who is like-minded with me and live a happy life like this in the future..."
"...When I married her, Shitou once advised me to wait and decide. He said that even the most impoverished city dwellers would still prefer a family of more than a dozen people to live in a small house of less than 20 square meters..."
"... In several nearby production teams, whether they have educated youth wives or sons-in-law, there's been a lot of turmoil. He predicted everything..."
"Husband and wife? Haha... No wonder even the ancients said that the highest is the sun and the moon, and the closest is the most distant is husband and wife..."
Zhang Laoer sighed secretly. This kid was hurt after all. Free love or something like that, it seems, is still not safe. Now this is happening.
"So what are your plans?"
Lin Gang stopped and looked at Zhang Laoer, "Uncle, I'm also a junior high school graduate and a junior accountant in the team. I also want to take the college entrance examination."
Zhang Lao Er frowned and looked at him, "So what's going on?"
Lin Gang laughed sarcastically, "Yesterday I was planning to discuss the registration with her, but she had already discussed it with a group of educated youth."
Then he said seriously, "Uncle, please do me a favor. I don't want her to know that I'm taking the college entrance examination, at least not before the results are released."
Zhang Laoer could help with this, but he still disagreed.
What can't a couple say frankly? And if they really do find out, what will happen to the children?
Remarry?
Who would be sincere if she is not your biological mother?
If this child falls into the hands of old lady Lin, he will be raised astray!
Whatever he thought was inappropriate.
After listening to Zhang Laoer's advice, Lin Gang remained silent and did not say anything else.
Zhang Laoer patted his shoulder and took him home, letting him see the child again. Alas... He didn't believe that a father would be cruel after seeing his cute son.
But reality soon slapped him in the face!
Lin Gang and his wife have no problems after communication, but that doesn't mean that all couples can stand the test.
At this moment, Zhang Laoer didn't know it yet. He was worried and went to his eldest brother and sister's house as soon as he returned to the county town, paying special attention to his nieces and nieces.
Seeing that he hadn't even come home, Lin Juhua ran out in a hurry. She didn't know what he was thinking, so when he came back, she complained, "Why are you so anxious?"
“You don’t understand!”
"Yeah, I don't understand, but did you notice that they had a falling out?"
Zhang Laoer smiled with satisfaction, "We have so many smart children in the Zhang family. They are all excellent, so naturally, there are no such troubles."
Lin Juhua looked at him with contempt, lowered her head, picked up a piece of food for him with chopsticks and put it in his bowl.
"What? Are you not convinced?"
"One by one? Haha... can it be considered a county town, can it be considered a provincial capital, or can it be considered a national capital? Isn't it obvious? If they are given another chance, can they find an uncle or aunt whose husband's family is a high-ranking official?"
Zhang Laoer was choked by her words and glared at her hatefully.
Lin Juhua smiled disapprovingly and continued to pick up food for him, while slowly saying, "Have you seen nieces and nieces holding books in the past?"
Zhang Laoer looked at his wife speechlessly, lowered his head and took a fierce bite. This silly woman, what does it mean to see through things but not point them out?
"I'm smarter than you! Do you know what I said?"
Zhang Laoer took another fierce mouthful of rice after hearing this, then reluctantly picked up some shredded meat from the plate and stuffed it into his mouth. This damn woman is showing off again!
"Mom said, Xiaowu is here! Look, she can see things more clearly than you." Lin Juhua said this, frowning at him, "What you should be worried about most now is where these children will go to for the exams?"
Zhang Laoer paused with his chopsticks. "I've already secretly written a letter to Xiaowu. He understands."
