Rebirth in the ’70s: The Cold-Faced Commander’s Pampered Feisty Wife

In the year 1977, Zhan Nanhui, a former Deputy Director of the National Security Bureau, was undercover as a “re-educated” criminal doing manual labor in the countryside. His mission was compro...

Chapter 40: The Genuine Daughter-in-law

Yi Anan was stunned for a moment, then looked up at Zhan Nanhui, "What's wrong?"

"You have to catch the bus early or late, so it's more convenient to wear a watch!" Zhan Nanhui whispered, "I'll lend you this watch temporarily, so you have to take good care of it."

Yi Anan secretly felt the watch on her wrist and was about to refuse when she heard Chen Sisi's voice from the other side.

Zhan Nanhui frowned slightly.

Yi Anan was also a little annoyed. Why did Chen Sisi come?

At this moment, Yi Anan had already opened the gate and walked in. Seeing the watch on the table, she immediately walked over to pick it up and said, "Brother Zhan, how did you know I came to borrow your watch?"

Zhan Nanhui's eyes darkened, and he coldly took the watch from Chen Sisi's hand and said in a deep voice: "I know, I will lend this watch to you!"

Chen Sisi frowned: "Brother Zhan, this watch was given by Auntie to my daughter-in-law. When we left the capital, Auntie asked you to give it to me!"

It turns out that this is the Zhan family’s heirloom!

Yi Anan immediately took the watch from Zhan Nanhui's hand, put it on her other arm, shook it in front of Chen Sisi, looked at Zhan Nanhui sweetly and said, "No wonder you wanted to give it to me. It turns out that this is passed on to me, the real daughter-in-law of the Zhan family. Then I will be polite and accept it!"

Zhan Nanhui was stunned for a moment. He didn’t say that he would give it to Yi Anan, he just wanted to lend it to her!

But now that Chen Sisi was here, he didn't have much to say.

Chen Sisi saw that the watch she had been dreaming of was worn on Yi Anan's wrist. She wanted to reach out to grab it, but Yi Anan dodged it.

"Why, you want to rob?" Yi Anan asked coldly.

Chen Sisi was so angry that she stamped her feet: "Yi Anan, this watch is a gift from my aunt, it's mine!"

"But now I am the daughter-in-law of the Zhan family. We got married with a marriage certificate. Who are you?" Yi Anan asked coldly.

Chen Sisi's face flushed. She had no choice but to whisper, "Forget it. I won't argue with you. I need it urgently, so please lend it to me. I'll return it to you as soon as I'm done!"

"Urgent, what urgent need?" Yi Anan asked.

Zhan Nanhui frowned slightly and looked at Yi Anan.

In fact, no matter what the emergency is, it is not important to Zhan Nanhui, because he will borrow it.

This watch was the only thought his mother left him before she passed away. He just thought of lending it to Yi Anan because she was in a hurry to go out all day and maybe having a watch would be more convenient.

"I..." Chen Sisi glanced at Zhan Nanhui. She couldn't tell the real reason, "I am actually thinking about our future. Don't worry, I will definitely take good care of it and won't break it for you."

What is their future?

Seeing that Zhan Nanhui was unmoved, Chen Sisi had no choice but to say, "I went to the town government to do some work and met a teacher who said that he had been confirmed to be transferred to invigilate the exam. He was a ruthless person, but he was very fond of watches. This watch of yours must have been brought back from abroad by a special agent. There are not many left in this world. I want to show it to that person and try to build a relationship with him."

Chen Sisi looked at Yi Anan: "You also hope that your man will do well in the college entrance examination and go to university, right?"

Chen Sisi immediately threw the question to Yi Anan. If Yi Anan refused, and Zhan Nanhui failed the exam, Zhan Nanhui would definitely blame Yi Anan for not being willing to lend her the watch at that time.

Contrary to Chen Sisi's thoughts, now she is wholeheartedly thinking about Zhan Nanhui.

Yi Anan glanced at Zhan Nanhui.

The watch belonged to Zhan Nanhui, and it was Zhan Nanhui who took the college entrance examination. Although she agreed with him bribing the college entrance examination officials, she also wanted to make any decision for Zhan Nanhui.

And she also wanted to see Zhan Nanhui's character.

Zhan Nanhui wanted to leave here desperately, and the college entrance examination was indeed the fastest way for him to leave here.

If he had this idea in order to leave early, then Zhan Nanhui and she were really the same kind of people!

"I will definitely take the exam, and I don't need these tricks!" Zhan Nanhui said in a deep voice, "I don't need you to worry about me!"

Chen Sisi looked aggrieved: "Brother Zhan, I really do this for your own good, how can you be so ignorant of good people?"

Zhan Nanhui raised his eyes and looked at Yi Anan: "The fence gate must be locked from now on."

Yi Anan responded immediately and turned to look at Chen Sisi: "Chen Zhiqing, our family welcomes you, please go quickly!"

Chen Sisi couldn't hold back her sobs. She looked up at Zhan Nanhui and whispered, "Zhan Nanhui, I know you are angry with me, but we came here from the capital together. I am a girl, what can I do?"

Chen Sisi continued, "Do you still remember Wang Xiaohuan, the educated youth who went to the countryside with us? Did you know that she jumped into the river a few days ago and hasn't been fished out yet? Because she was pregnant, she didn't know which man in the village she was with. Because she was pretty, she was bullied many times at the educated youth site!"

Zhan Nanhui's brows trembled slightly.

Of course he knew Wang Xiaohuan. They had come to this town together from the capital. Wang Xiaohuan's father was his father's old subordinate. Before leaving, his father asked him to take good care of her.

The first time he saw Wang Xiaohuan, she was fine. Why...

Seeing the micro-expression on Zhan Nanhui's face, Chen Sisi knew that this trick would work. "Based on my appearance, if I find a way to join the art troupe, my fate will be worse than Wang Xiaohuan's! Brother Zhan, we women are more vulnerable than men, and we are weaker. What's wrong with me temporarily staying with that inhumane head of the art troupe in order to protect myself?"

Zhan Nanhui's micro-expression did not escape Yi Anan's eyes.

It seems that Zhan Nanhui still cares about Chen Sisi!

Yi Anan sighed in her heart, then stood up and took the dishes and chopsticks out.

She really wanted to see the two of them talking to each other from the bottom of their hearts.

"That's your own choice. It has nothing to do with me!" Zhan Nanhui glanced at Yi An'an's back and whispered, "I can lend you the watch. Go!"

"Zhan Nanhui, why are you so cruel? After all, I am the daughter-in-law chosen by your mother..." Chen Sisi was interrupted by Zhan Nanhui before she could finish her words.

"That was in the past. Now my wife is Yi An'an!" Zhan Nanhui said in a deep voice. He stood up, walked to the yard, opened the gate, and said, "Go!"

Chen Sisi cried bitterly.

Zhan Nanhui knew what he was thinking and his face was gloomy.

Chen Sisi walked out, crying as she walked, her little shoulders shaking, looking so pitiful.

Zhan Nanhui stood next to the gate with an expressionless face.

After Chen Sisi walked out, Zhan Nanhui stood in front of the fence gate for a long time. He felt sad about Wang Xiaohuan jumping into the river.

All of this was seen by Yi Anan, who was hiding in the shack through the small window.
