Rebirth at Seventy: Counterattack on Life

While the Zhou family was busy packing up and counting the lost property, Sun Lao San and the young widow were secretly rejoicing at home.

"Third brother, you are such a mean little brat. You were not here this morning, but I was at home. The situation was so serious that the old lady of the Zhou family was howling like a ghost.

I peeked out through the crack in the door and saw that the things being moved out of the yard were enough to marry a wife.

There are televisions, sewing machines, electric fans and everything else.

Time to let this whole family of them show off. Will they stop now?

It would be best if they were all arrested and fired. See how they can still be so arrogant."

The young widow laughed as she spoke, feeling very happy.

Let her whole family look down on me. Now it’s my turn to look down on them from now on.

When the time comes, I will roll my eyes at them and see why they are so arrogant.

"So many things?"

Sun Laosan didn't care much about anything else, since she always spoke like this. But when he heard the young widow say that the things she moved out were enough to marry a wife, he was still quite surprised, shocked, and a pity.

It would be great if I could get a piece of the pie.

What a pity, what a pity!

"Yes, I saw a bunch of people carrying out boxes of things, including a TV and an electric fan. They also carried out a sewing machine and there seemed to be a lot of new fabrics. They were all good stuff."

The young widow felt itchy in her heart as she heard this.

Why? They work so hard all day and live in fear of meeting a powerful person and getting beaten up. Their lives are so hard. Others don’t even have a man to support themselves at home, so how can they live so well?

"Were they all moved away?"

Sun Laosan was surprised. These people were quite evil.

"Not only that, those people left, I went to their neighbor's house to borrow something and secretly climbed over the wall to take a look.

It was so noisy that there was no place to step.

From now on, their family will have a hard time making ends meet, and they may have to resort to stealing to support themselves."

The young widow pouted and spoke with certainty.

"Pity."

Sun Laosan said with a sigh.

The daughters in his family are all good-looking. Even the fierce-looking Zhou Laosan is getting more and more handsome.

If I could marry this...

Where did this idea come from? I've had enough of the good life.

Sun Laosan quickly shook his head to get rid of the unrealistic thoughts in his mind.

It's killing her. The sisters in her family, the eldest is too powerful, the second is mean, the third is fierce, the fourth only knows how to eat, and the fifth is obviously scheming. If he marries into her family, his bones will be crushed to pieces.

Good news doesn’t come out, but bad news can’t be hidden.

It didn't take long for the news about the Zhou family to spread like wildfire.

"Are you stupid? How can you get involved in this matter? I might even get you implicated."

Liu Baolin followed Captain Wang to Zhou's house to help in the morning. Seeing the miserable state of the family, he went home in the evening and wanted to discuss with his mother about sending some food over to help with the emergency.

Who knew that when his mother heard about this, she immediately became anxious.

We are all people who lived through that era. When we heard that someone was reported and investigated by the G-Committee, it was as if the sky was falling and we were terrified.

"Mom, that's a false accusation. Director Zhou is not that kind of person. She's very powerful."

Liu Baolin knew from the very beginning when he met Zhou Jinxin that this female comrade was no ordinary person. He had watched her accomplish so many great things over such a long time and he admired her from the bottom of his heart. But now, when he heard his mother say this, he felt a little unhappy.

What's the big deal? The leader was wronged, and he couldn't help.

No matter how powerful the G-Committee is, it can't confuse good and evil and confuse right and wrong, right?

"Oh my ancestors, don't dare to talk nonsense."

When Liu Baolin's mother heard him say that, she was so scared that she almost lost her soul.

There are three families living in the yard where they live, but they are not the only one.

If this gets out and those people know about it, I'll be in big trouble.

"Take it, take it, give it to you. You can barely feed yourself and still need to help others."

Although he said he was unhappy, he didn't say anything more. He went into the house, took out a cloth bag, filled it with some sorghum rice and handed it to Liu Baolin.

They are all ancestors, and I can't afford to offend them. If I let them say a few more words, it will cause more trouble.

Liu Baolin took the bag and weighed it. It was only about five or six pounds, a little too little.

He didn't say anything more, just picked up a few bowls from the kitchen and walked out.

It’s good enough that he can give me some, if he says anything more, I’ll take it back.

"Hey, what are you doing with the bowl? We only have a few bowls at home. If you take them away, there won't be enough for the whole house."

As Liu Baolin walked out, he heard his mother yelling behind him, and he ran away without stopping.

"This is evil. Tomorrow I'll ask his third aunt to introduce him to a date and send him the marriage certificate."

Liu Baolin's mother was so angry when she saw her son running away. She hoped he could get married and live on his own as soon as possible and stop making her angry at home.

When we arrived at Zhou's house, it was already dark.

"Director Zhou, my mother asked me to bring this to you. It's too late to buy anything today, so you should deal with it first."

"Thank you. Please thank your aunt for me. I will buy it for you tomorrow when the supply and marketing cooperative opens."

No one is rich these days, so giving her money for emergency is sincere help, but we can't let others help us for nothing.

"What else? Just a few kilograms of sorghum rice."

Zhou Jinxin's words made Baolin even more embarrassed.

He couldn't help much, and even asked people to pay him back for a few kilograms of food. Does he still want to keep his face?

"Pauline is here too."

Captain Wang also came back, followed by Wang Fugui. Both of them were carrying a lot of things in their hands, big and small bags.

Obviously he was also here to deliver something, but he took much more than him.

Liu Baolin felt even more embarrassed when he saw this situation. He said hello to Captain Wang and turned away.

"Why don't you two wait for me? Why are you walking so fast?"

Captain Wang's wife also jogged after them.

He happened to meet Liu Baolin who was walking out.

"Why is this kid so anxious?"

It was dark, and the lights in the yard were dim. Captain Wang's wife didn't even see who it was before she saw a tall man dodge around her. By the time she could get away from it, he had already blended into the night and disappeared.

"My dear, how are you? Is the child scared?"

Captain Wang's wife came over here in a hurry, trotting all the way. Before she could even catch her breath, she hurried into the house. When she entered the house and saw the bare walls of the house, she felt a pang of sadness in her heart and asked in a low voice.

Yao Yawen's eyes turned red at this sound.

What is this? A friend in need is a friend indeed.

If this had happened to their family in the past, not to mention their in-laws, even their own parents would probably have written a letter of severance and stayed away from them.

Now that her sister-in-law is rushing to give her gifts, how can she not be touched.
