There is Room for Rebirth in the 1950’s

On the third day of the first lunar month, the second eldest Lin Aidang, his wife Jiang Jiangyu, and their two sons had just arrived in Beijing. At this time, the atmosphere of the Lin family had another subtle change.

The moment of family reunion that Mrs. Lin had been looking forward to had finally arrived, but she had no joy or excitement at all. Many things have gone beyond her imagination.

With the breakup of the relationship between the brothers of the Gu family in her natal family, the eldest brother Gu Changqing was imprisoned and waited for a judgment, and now that all the property of her natal family has been confiscated, the marriages she was looking for have already turned yellow.

Those old sisters who had been friends with her in the past were more or less subtle. Just as she was furious, something happened to the youngest daughter-in-law.

In the bedroom, Mrs. Lin had a calm face, her eyes fixed on her youngest daughter-in-law, Jiang Jiangyu.

Jiang Jiangyu avoided the old lady's eyes, and explained with a smile: Mom, seeing that the two brothers of Shengli are going to get married, I can't help it. My sister-in-law sent a letter saying that I think such a suitable yard is rare, so I don't have time to talk to you. Discuss and let her buy it first. Don't be angry.

Mrs. Lin never thought that her youngest daughter-in-law was out of town, and she dared to tell her natal sister-in-law to buy the yard without telling her.

Two thousand and eight yuan, maybe she didn't even blink before. But now she still plans to make up for the big gap, how can she care about buying a yard? Now that he has the ability to cut first and play later, what else can he say?

After a while, Mrs. Lin looked away and asked, Then who did you borrow money from? How do you pay back such a large sum of money? What does the second child say?

A few of my brothers and sisters helped me collect a thousand, and agreed to return it to them when I came back for the Chinese New Year. The remaining 1800 was borrowed from a friend for two months. The child's father didn't know about it yet. I'll just wait for you to help me all the time. After speaking, Jiang Jiangyu lowered her head, and her toes kept sliding on the ground.

The old lady Lin smiled angrily, Then tell me how I can help you? Let me see how much my old bone is worth?

Mom, can you ask your elder brother and sister to help? I'm waiting for 1800 yuan to save my life. I owe the 1000 yuan from my natal brothers and sisters first, and pay it back slowly.

After listening to Mrs. Lin, there was still something she didn't understand. The youngest daughter-in-law said that her natal family raised a thousand dollars, which may be her own private money.

Her natal Lao Jiang's family is now helping relatives in her hometown, so poor that their own family has only one fish and one chicken for a dozen or so people. Where did they get a thousand yuan? This little one is a villain!

Mrs. Lin didn't want to mention this either. Now that the money is spent, it's useless to talk about it. What's more, the house will still belong to her grandson in the future. Anyway, she is determined and powerless.

The old lady sighed helplessly, and began to talk about the source of the money she usually used to subsidize her family. As for the details, she is not willing to say. I just briefly said how much money she had moved her eldest son-in-law Zhou Xiaozheng over the years, how much she made up for with the boss' salary, and how much money she still lacked from her eldest son-in-law.

After she finished speaking, she spread her hands and shook her head at Jiang Jiangyu. She didn't plan to keep the second child from her. Now, except for the old man, everyone in the family should know about it. Even the old man can't guarantee that he doesn't know.

Jiang Jiangyu was stunned after hearing this, her face turned pale.

After a while, she regained her composure, and carefully looked at the old lady's face, What did the brother-in-law say? Mom, what should I do now?

Hmph... cold salad! The old lady snorted a few times and said with a calm face. What did Zhou Xiaozheng say? He treated her coldly, he didn't even bother to see her, let alone talk to her.

Thinking of the brat's stern face seeing her ignoring even a word, old lady Lin became furious. Don't think she can't see the disdain in his eyes. With a few stinky money, I am proud to be number one in the world?

Seeing that the situation was wrong, Jiang Jiangyu didn't dare to mention it again. She had just returned to Beijing and had to find out more about it. She really had no choice but to tell the child's father the truth.

She smiled and stepped forward to help the old lady tuck the quilt, and said with a soft smile: Mom, don't be angry, although I don't know what brother-in-law will think. But isn't it natural for a son-in-law to respect his mother-in-law? With the elder sister here, he It's your son-in-law. He has to help you if you have something to do.

The old lady didn't bother to talk to this lucky fool, and waved her out.

Jiang Jiangyu left the main room, glanced at the sister-in-law in the kitchen, and paused. After a while, she immediately turned around and went back to her room, picked up her backpack and presents, and went to her mother's house.

Jiang's house was divided into three rooms on the ground floor and first floor of the unit building in front, and now there is a small courtyard in front of the door. Mrs. Jiang was born in a farming family, and she has been taking care of her children and farming in her hometown.

After liberation, she returned to the compound with her husband. She is a restless hardworking person. Every season, the yard is full of fruits and vegetables.

When Jiang Jiangyu entered the house, she immediately saw her mother with white hair bending over, kneading dough. She came back last night to meet her parents in a hurry. She didn't notice it at the time, but now she seriously looks at her mother's age. Look at the house, apart from the furniture and supplies for the troops, there is not even a decent thing.

She frowned tightly, and complained to her mother who was surprised when she saw her: Those people still don't let you and dad go? Is our family going to live? I have paid back all the kindness for so many years. Look at your clothes. How many patches have you made? This dress was made for you by my second child.

The old lady Jiang suppressed her smile, stared at her sullenly and said, You forgot that your elder brother was almost killed, but your uncles saved his life; Your aunt and the others saved him as a dowry; you forgot that you were raised in your grandma’s house, and your aunts raised you with milk? If your brothers and sisters don’t have these relatives and friends, I’m the only woman who can take care of you. How big are you? As for people, you can’t forget your roots while you’re alive. They’ll come to you if they’re not in trouble? Don’t let me hear these words next time, and if you don’t like it, don’t go back to your mother’s house.”

Jiang Jiangyu choked on the words, sighed with complicated emotions, and nodded.

In the kitchen, Jiang Jiangyu accompanied Mrs. Jiang to do housework, asking about the situation of everyone in the family. Knowing that except relatives who often come to the house, everyone in her natal family is very good, she immediately smiled.

Immediately thought of the purpose. She paused, glanced at her mother, and said casually: Mom, do you know the eldest son-in-law of the Lin family? It's Zhou Xiaozheng who just came back and lives in the small courtyard behind.

Mrs. Jiang nodded. Why don't you know me?

In the small courtyard at the back there is only Zhou Xiaozheng, and two young chiefs live in, the others are old men. Not to mention how attractive it is! What's more, he is the eldest son-in-law.

Why don't you know him? Don't look at the crowds in the compound, but he definitely knows everyone. In the few days after he came back, all the young and old women in the compound secretly ran over to see people. They all said they went to see the beautiful man .

Haha...it does look good. Isn't this his baby Pimple back? Ouch, now it's the boy's turn to visit his girl every day. Who would not know his family? After finishing speaking, she couldn't help laughing.

Jiang Jiangyu hasn't met Zhou Jiao yet, but Zhou Xiaozheng knows her. She wasn't in the mood to talk about handsome men. This would bother her.

She poked the old lady and asked her in a low voice, I think my mother-in-law mentioned that something is wrong with the eldest son-in-law. Did something happen? I haven't seen her eldest son-in-law's family come since I came back last night.

The old lady looked out and said in a low voice: It is said in the compound that your mother-in-law is not a good character. It is said that she dresses up all day and walks around, but she leaves her granddaughter in the countryside to suffer great punishment.

I also heard your father mumbling that your mother-in-law and Chief Zhou's mother are cousins ​​of the same great-grandfather. The affairs of the two of them are very complicated, so let me pay attention. You too, don't talk too much. You just have to remember that Mrs. Cheng is taking care of the grandchildren of the Zhou family now.

Jiang Jiangyu looked at her mother in bewilderment, feeling even more puzzled. Isn't the relationship better if you kiss more and more? How did it become more and more mysterious?

Anyway, remember not to talk too much about your husband's family. I don't know the details, but I heard from your father that if Shanshan hadn't given birth to a good daughter, Zhou Xiaozheng would definitely not want this daughter-in-law. Some people want to Marry him. The old lady didn't want to say more, but her wife specifically told her to pay attention.

Jiang Jiangyu sighed. She also planned to borrow money from her sister-in-law, but it seemed that there was no way. She hesitated to speak but looked at her mother, glanced at the wilted Chinese cabbage by the stove, and sighed again.

Refusing Mrs. Jiang's persuasion, Jiang Jiangyu went home with a heavy heart. As soon as she arrived in the west wing, she slumped on the bed weakly, her eyes kept rolling.

She couldn't think of a way, but when she suddenly smelled the aroma of vegetables, she immediately got up and ran to the living room, smiling and calling for sister-in-law, and stepped forward to help serve the dishes.

Jiang Jiangyu was curious to find out that the old man and the men had all come back from their worship, so why haven't they seen their children yet? She slipped to Chen Jingru's side, poked her sister-in-law quietly, and learned that all the children in the family had gone out to go shopping, so she took the opportunity to ask Zhou Jiao.

Like the Zhou family, the aunt of the Lin family was put on leave by the old man. Chen Jingru is now busy preparing meals and cleaning up the housework for three meals a day. This time, she saw that her brother-in-law didn't help at all when she came home, and she didn't want to tear herself apart with her, so she didn't bother to talk to her, so she said a few perfunctory words and asked her to take a look at her home last week.

After lunch, Jiang Jiangyu took advantage of the presence of all the men in the family, and asked when the two sisters would return to her natal home? Do you want to prepare in advance?

Mrs. Lin glanced at her, knowing that she was not going to give up. She didn't bother to care about it, seeing that it was time for the grandchildren below to talk about marriage, she was in no mood to care about these things.

Zhou Jiao looked at the second aunt running around in front of her, not knowing what kind of second aunt she was, and looked at Old Madam Cheng with a headache.

As soon as she got home, she never expected that Jiang Jiangyu would wait at her house for a long time. Is their relationship so good? Don't you want to wait for her mother to finish her work and go back to her natal home?

Today, she followed her father to visit several elders and was busy dealing with them. At the moment, she was very exhausted, and now she just wanted to lie down and rest.

Seeing Zhou Xiaozheng leading Zhang Guoqing back to the study to avoid Jiang Jiangyu. Zhou Jiao hurriedly brought a cup of tea to her, and asked someone to sit down first. She believed that with the character of the other party, she would definitely barge into the study without winking.

With a loving smile on his face, Jiang Jiangyu held Zhou Jiao's hands, kept looking at the material of her clothes, apologized every word in his mouth, and found all kinds of reasons for neglecting Zhou Jiao for not fulfilling his elder's duty.

Zhou Jiao looked at her with a smile.

The play is well acted, written and sung by itself. She hadn't forgotten the three-day bath in Ping An, but Lin Lishan had said that Daxibei would send gifts over in a few days. As a result, Lin Lishan sent two big sacks, but she didn't even receive a single hair from Daxibei. As for the full moon ceremony, don't even mention it.

Did this trick her into thinking her mother Lin Lishan? I really don't know how such a person caught Gu Ruyi's eyes. Could it be that the so-called lady Gu Ruyi has a special habit?

Zhou Jiao echoed her with a smile all over her face, nodding her head from time to time in agreement.

Seeing that she didn't mind, Jiang Jiangyu held Zhou Jiao's hand, touched and patted it from time to time, and her mouth seemed to be blooming. The old lady Cheng, who was facing one side, praised Zhou Jiao as the most perfect in the world. good junior.

With a shy face on her face, Zhou Jiao took out her hands while serving tea to her. At this moment, she suspects that she should be tricked.

Old lady Cheng suppressed her laughter and kept nodding.

Zhou Jiao only felt numbness in her hands, she couldn't hold it, she couldn't spread it, she wished she could wash it so that a layer of skin would come off. Holding her breath, she winked at Mrs. Cheng and looked at the watch on the wall.

Mrs. Cheng blinked her eyes knowingly, lest she worry that she wouldn't be able to stay until the meal - told Jiang Jiangyu to stay cheeky.

Nothing to show courteousness, rape or steal——Zhou Jiao knows that the only thing that can make the other party make up their minds is money. It's just that she is now carrying out her father's minute hand to the Lin family - cold treatment, cold treatment.

Looking at the other party, Zhou Jiao really wanted to slap her. Where did that big face come from? Do you really think their father and daughter are easy to bully? Soon... Soon her father will mobilize several uncles to Beijing to assist.

Her godfather, Zhao Chuanguang, has devoted more than ten years, but they keep silent. What about the Northwest uncle being transferred to the capital? And what about those uncles who have paid her for more than ten years? Do you really think that the facts can be hidden, the truth can be concealed?

After Jiang Jiangyu finished her compliments, it was not easy to move to her own home.

Listening to her saying that the family has no savings, seeing her child getting married and starting a career makes her gray hair. Zhou Jiao blinked her eyes in confusion, but didn't answer.

Mrs. Cheng was full of witty remarks, suppressing a set of hard and simple style theories, and finally made Jiang Jiangyu shut up, and changed the topic to gossip.

After sending the other party out, Zhou Jiao hurriedly ran to wash her hands, and went back to the living room to see Zhou Xiaozheng, Weng and his son-in-law who looked like survivors of a catastrophe. She glared hard, then laughed to herself.

The old lady Cheng smiled and shook her head, This is not the way. Next time she comes here, she will directly borrow money. You should think of a reason.

We Jiaojiao know it well. Zhou Xiaozheng reassured her. His family Jiaojiao took over and arranged all these chores as soon as she got home, even planning for future worries.

Zhou Jiao nodded thoughtfully.

reason? What reason is needed.

Wealth is touching! She deliberately revealed to Mrs. Lin that all the family money was in her own hands, just to prevent these caring people from coming to her door. She even started sending money around in the compound to the homes of her father's deceased comrades-in-arms, just in case.

Besides, seeing that Jiang Jiangyu couldn't wait to come to the door now, the amount needed must be quite a lot. If she finds her again, she will have a good chat with him about Uncle Daxibei.
