Rebirth in the 1950s with Spatial Ability

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...

Chapter 40: Storm is about to rise (Part 2)

Two flowers bloomed, each showing its own beauty. Zhang Guoqiang and Lin Juhua were there, waiting for the work whistle to sound. A lot of people gathered around them. She winked at Zhang Guoqiang and moved towards the group of laughing and joking girls, pretending to be distressed. She just found Sun Meili there. She knew that Sun Meili had been on a blind date with Wang Youlin from the Wang family. Huiyao said that the betrothal gift was intercepted by Zhou Xue, and the conditions of the family she married into were average. In addition, Sun Meili's family and the Wang family were from the same village. She and Wang Youlin had been together since childhood and had a good relationship. She was usually sarcastic about Zhou Xue. Now that the news was revealed, she would definitely ask for leave to go back to her family. According to her personality, she would confront Zhou Xue in front of many people, and the news would spread.

"Juhua, what's wrong with you? Why are you crying? What do you have to worry about? You really don't know how lucky you are. You are the luckiest person in the village. Look how nice your mother-in-law is." Zhang Jianshe's sharp-eyed wife Lin Ling asked curiously. You know, Juhua is always smiling.

Lin Juhua glanced at her and sighed, wanting to speak but hesitant. The few young wives nearby, who were usually on good terms with her, saw that she was embarrassed to speak up, and urged her to speak up and give them some advice.

Lin Juhua didn't say anything right away. This time, she just hated the crowds. She waited until there were fewer people, and everyone was curious, so the news would spread quickly. She glanced at Sun Meili again and quickly turned around, causing Sun Meili to suspect that her distress was related to her. But then she thought it had nothing to do with her family, after all, they had a good relationship. She didn't ask, though, because she felt there were too many people and didn't want everyone to know about her family's affairs.

The others looked and then walked away. They would know the truth sooner or later anyway, leaving behind Lin Ling, Sun Meili and her young wife Zhang Aihua. Lin Juhua looked at her in the distance, frowning deliberately, which aroused the curiosity of the three people.

Sun Meili looked at Lin Juhua's face and saw that she was indeed worried. Could it be that it was really related to her? She couldn't help but ask again: "Juhua, just tell me, this is not like your character."

Seeing that work would start in half an hour, Lin Juhua said, "You always give people six o'clock to ask for leave." She deliberately added, "I didn't want to say it, but you know I have a bad temper. I get angry just thinking about it."

"What's wrong? Did you really quarrel with your mother-in-law? Please don't. Your mother-in-law is recognized as a good mother-in-law in the village. Look, she prepares meals at home and takes care of the children. Didn't you say last time that you would separate after the New Year? You haven't seen my mother-in-law. She refuses to take over and insists on waiting for me to come home to cook. Even when the pigs at home are crying from hunger, she can run to the gate and chat with anyone she catches." Sun Meili advised.

Zhang Aihua also said enviously, "You don't know that my mother-in-law wants to hide everything in her house. Last time, the fishing rod was hidden in the cabinet at home and it stank and grew bugs. And our sisters-in-law are not as close as you. Your eldest sister-in-law didn't even bother to tell you how much you do. Jinwa has been playing with you since she was little and is also very affectionate to you. Your husband obeys you in everything, what else do you want... Life can't be compared, you have to be happy yourself."

"Okay, I know you care about me. It's either my mother-in-law or our Jiaojiao's business."

Zhang Aihua smiled and glanced at her. She didn't believe that she was worried about Jinwawa. Everyone knew that Jinwawa was well-behaved. "Don't worry, then tell me what happened to your Jinwawa. She's such a well-behaved little daughter-in-law. She smiles when she sees us. What else do you have to worry about? We'll each start our own families after we split up next year."

Sun Meili lost interest when she heard about the golden baby. She didn't like anyone with the last name Zhou. "Didn't she just give birth to a big fat boy?"

"It's not a big deal, but it's never good to cry during confinement. Put yourself in her shoes. Jiaojiao is really good to us. She is like a brother and sister. Whenever we need her help, she is always smiling." Lin Juhua took over.

Lin Ling nodded, "That's true, but why should she cry? I guess she's just too young, she's still a child."

"No, it's because I saw the child crying, or because we asked her repeatedly and knew that she missed her mother. All the things her mother sent to her were given to Zhou Xue by her aunt. Don't you think it's immoral? This is not left for her to miss. Jiaojiao is so well-behaved. She was afraid that her grandparents would have a hard time. She didn't have a dowry when she got married. She brought a few clothes and 800 yuan from our family. She used the 800 yuan to buy a sewing machine and other small things, leaving her with 500 yuan. If you didn't tell me, I wouldn't have known. I used to envy her.

All the dowry that her grandpa and her mother mailed was given to Zhou Xue by her aunt. Zhou Xue even ran to her to show off. I saw it with my own eyes at that time, but she didn't say anything. Don't you think it's infuriating? This time she actually said that she was not here, and the money was just external things. Her son was sad just thinking about it. Don't you think I'm angry? My Xiaowu was so impatient that I advised her that it was gone, and at most I would write to her and ask her not to send it, but she didn't receive it anyway. She has been supporting their big family for 17 years. I feel so sad for these two idiots. Tell me what this is. They did it and didn't let anyone know. Every time they took a package, it was signed by his uncle himself. I heard that it was a military mail from a soldier. If Jiaojiao went to high school, she would go to jail. But if there is no hope, Jiaojiao feels that it was not easy for her grandmother to raise her. "

Sun Meili laughed non-stop, "You two really are silly kids. You don't know how expensive firewood and rice are until you manage the household. I was wondering where Zhou Xue got these good things from?"

"You think I'd be angry just like that? I'd be stupid if I were. Wait till I tell you something, you'll probably die of laughter. Every time Jiaojiao's mother sent something, she mentioned it in her letter. Jiaojiao asked them, but they all said no. The silly child didn't care, thinking that her grandparents probably didn't want her to know about her mother. But guess what, it was quite interesting. Doesn't my Xiaowu have a friend at the post office? He specifically told Xiaowu that all the things Jiaojiao had in the post office were picked up by his uncle and signed for in person. In addition to her mother, her grandfather, her two aunts, and her younger aunt, he hasn't stopped sending things to her in the past 17 years. Isn't she pregnant this year? Xiaowu went to the post office to check, and oh my god, 28 packages were sent in just 8 months, and Jiaojiao didn't receive a single one.

The two of them dug up the truth and discovered that the rumor about Zhou Jiao supporting five families was true. They continued their research and discovered that when she was in junior high, her grandfather had bought her a bicycle and a watch. The military coat and other things were all sent by Jiaojiao's grandfather. Huang Zhaodi's mother's family had watches, sewing machines, bicycles, military coats, and sweaters—all of them were Jiaojiao's. And didn't Zhou Xue get married? The entire wedding was funded by Jiaojiao's aunts, her aunts, her grandfather, and her mother. Isn't this bullying?

Lin Ling and Zhang Aihua were stunned. It was simply unbelievable. How could someone be so outrageous? He took things without even saying a word. These valuable things were specially sent to Zhou Jiao by her grandfather. "What did Zhou Jiao say? No wonder she's crying. This is so despicable. This is how Zhou Jiao is bullied because she doesn't have a father. So what did Zhou Jiao say?"
