Rebirth in the 50s: The Couple with the Hidden Space-Chapter 695 - 570: Go Back to the Northwest Early!

Chapter 695: Chapter 570: Go Back to the Northwest Early!

When Mr. Jiang came home from work, he was a little surprised to see his youngest daughter. However, he didn’t say much, thinking she just missed her parents.

After washing his hands, he took the towel handed over by his wife and dried his hands. Then he turned to Jiang Jiangyu and said, "Eat early and leave early. Don’t wander around unnecessarily these days."

Jiang Jiangyu nodded and watched eagerly as Mr. Jiang sat down to eat. After a moment, she also sat beside him, hurriedly drank a bowl of corn porridge without tasting it, and quietly waited there.

"Daughter, have a pumpkin cake. Don’t get angry, nothing is more important than filling your stomach."

Mr. Jiang, hearing his wife’s words, asked, "Did you tell her everything?"

"What’s the point in keeping it from her? From us, she can hear the truth. People outside are complicated; they always talk in circles. It’s exhausting!"

Jiang Jiangyu pushed away the pumpkin cake handed by her mother, picked up a steamed bun from the table, bit into it absentmindedly, and almost choked. She quickly stretched her neck and gulped down mouthfuls of soup.

Old Mrs. Jiang cast her a sidelong glance, "You’ve had it too easy, even eating like a wandering soul. I didn’t even bother grinding the corn with the skin removed."

Mr. Jiang waved his hand at his wife, signaling her to say less, and then looked at his daughter. "Don’t poke your nose around if it’s not necessary. If something happens, your father-in-law will handle it. Just take care of yourself."

"Dad, I have something to tell you. I’ll wait till you finish eating."

Mr. Jiang frowned slightly, didn’t say anything else, quickly finished the remaining steamed bun in his hand, and stood up to signal her to follow him.

Father and daughter entered a room, and looking at his daughter, Mr. Jiang pulled out a chair from under the desk. "Sit down and let’s talk."

"Dad, will my mother-in-law affect Victory and his brother this time?"

Mr. Jiang sighed.

"Dad, then what should our family do?"

In a deep voice, Mr. Jiang said, "Go back to the Northwest early! Leave the upcoming matters to your father-in-law, and once back, tell Victory’s brothers not to stir things up. I’ve told them many times, yet they don’t listen. I’m their own grandfather; do you think I’d harm them?

Your father-in-law always praises his grandsons, but I think they’re spoiled to the point of not knowing their limits. You haven’t been in Beijing so you wouldn’t know how many people that young son-in-law of the Zhou Family has connected with. That child has a knack for socializing, and no one who associates with him says anything bad about him. If you don’t believe it, go and ask your eldest nephew. Even he says the kid is warm-hearted and loyal." 𝚏𝐫𝚎𝗲𝕨𝐞𝐛𝕟𝚘𝐯𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝗺

Jiang Jiangyu asked in surprise, "What’s that kid planning? Isn’t anyone saying he’s just networking?"

Mr. Jiang let out a cold laugh, "Do you think Zhou Xiaozheng is a fool? Would he not guide his only son-in-law? Even I admire the way he conducts himself."

Seeing his daughter’s puzzled look, he sighed again and continued, "To put it this way: if there’s a stranger having trouble pushing a cart on the street, he’ll go over and help push it; if a young couple catches a thief on the street, he’ll help them nab the thief; last time when your mom couldn’t carry a melon frame alone, he happened to see her, and after she called out to him, he helped without a word, even told her to rest while he continued to help her. Who wouldn’t like such a kid?"

At this point, he couldn’t help but laugh, "He must have done a lot of good deeds, often receiving letters of commendation, and several others his age also frequently receive praise."

Jiang Jiangyu gave a sarcastic smile, "Really willing to spend!"

"Don’t be resentful. That kid is indeed excellent, I heard he was again named an outstanding cadre this year. Steady personality, a college diploma, good family background, his future prospects are limitless. Otherwise, why would those old leaders all like him, there are reasons. Your father-in-law praised him as soon as he came back and indeed didn’t misjudge him, such a pity..."

Jiang Jiangyu pursed her lips, no longer rebutting, but inwardly still unconvinced. If her son had a father-in-law like Zhou Xiaozheng, would she even need to wish?

Mr. Jiang saw the disdain in his daughter’s eyes but didn’t say more. He originally had more to say, but after thinking it over, he felt it was unnecessary. The relationship between these two families has come to this, no need for further reminders.

Jiang Jiangyu ran to the door for a look, seeing no one, sneaked back to Mr. Jiang, and whispered what she overheard that night into his ear.

Mr. Jiang’s face alternated between blue and red as he listened, and after she finished, he sighed again.

Seeing her anxious look, he waved his hand to reassure her to sit down. After a long while, he finally said, "Your father-in-law is doing this for you."

He didn’t know what else to say after that.

Everyone has different pursuits, and he didn’t want to disparage others. Even if it were him, he’d choose to retire to the countryside, but after all, it’s the Lin Family’s matter, and he wasn’t in a position to comment.

"Dad, I hate my mother-in-law to death, what about the kids’ marriages?"

Mr. Jiang stared at her, "You still don’t see reality. Ever since you were expelled, the kids’ marriages have become a problem, where high matches are unattainable and low matches are undesired. Don’t push the blame onto others."

Jiang Jiangyu’s face flushed red as she hesitantly defended, "Isn’t there still you and the old man, many families still like our kids."

"Nonsense! With a stained grandmother, who would want your child as a daughter-in-law? Are you still dreaming? Go back to the Northwest and settle marriages for those brothers, stop wishful thinking.

What I dislike most about you people is this idea of matching social status. Haven’t you had your good days? You’ve all forgotten you came from peasant roots. If I followed your thinking, I shouldn’t have taken your mother back then, and instead, married a young bride?"

Jiang Jiangyu was left speechless. How could she forget her father’s warnings when he saved her back then.

Looking at his pitiable little daughter, Mr. Jiang’s heart softened, "Listen to Dad, don’t think about transferring back, settle the family in the Northwest. You’re your dad’s own daughter, do you think I wouldn’t want you by my side? You haven’t stayed in Beijing long, you’ve only seen the surface and don’t know how deep the waters run. This place isn’t suited for you all."

Jiang Jiangyu knew it was useless to say more. Her dad never offered any solutions, always telling her to go back to the Northwest. She obediently nodded.

"Involve less in the Lin Family matters, once the holidays arrive, take the three of them back early. Your father-in-law, he’d give up his life for future generations, he’ll handle things well."

Jiang Jiangyu didn’t hesitate and nodded, "Okay. Then I’ll head back first."

Mr. Jiang accompanied her out to the courtyard, watching her departing figure with the mesh bag, a wave of worry washed over him. He always felt this trouble-loving daughter still hadn’t given up.

He turned back and saw his wife with a worried face, he patted her shoulder with a smile, "The children have grown up, they know how to live their lives."

Old Mrs. Jiang heard this, her deeply wrinkled brows unfolded, and she nodded with a smile, "That’s what the second child said back then too. Forget it, let’s not talk about these troubling things. Kids’ dad, I’ve steamed a lot of pumpkin cakes, I’ll send them to the kids now, let them have a taste. Do you have any messages for me to take?"

Mr. Jiang shook his head with a smile, "Be careful on the road. If they offer to send you back, don’t refuse."

Old Mrs. Jiang patted her clothes, "No need. You all work hard, I’ll just take a bus. You didn’t eat well at dinner, remember to eat if you’re hungry."

Mr. Jiang watched his wife hurriedly start packing several portions, leaving only three pitiful ones for themselves. Thinking of Old Lin’s actions, and then seeing his wife cheerfully leaving, he sighed deeply.
