Rebirth in the 50s: The Couple with the Hidden Space novel Chapter 580

Chapter 580: Chapter 460: Country Bumpkin? Heh

Old Mrs. Cheng spoke slowly and methodically from beside them, "That’s right. We don’t understand, but we’re curious. Can you tell me why Old Lin asked you to mediate rather than their family coming over to apologize? I’m just curious as to why this person’s thinking is so peculiar."

Cheng Sijin nodded in agreement with his mother’s perspective, "Exactly. With all the things the Lin Family has done, apart from sending that granddaughter to the corps, they haven’t directly apologized to my big brother. They just want to brush it aside subtly, how is that possible?

They asked you to mediate with my big brother, why didn’t you ask Uncle Lin why, apart from his old wife’s pile of messes, his youngest son’s family hasn’t apologized to our Jiao Jiao? How could he dare to mention it?"

Mr. Cheng smiled wryly as he glanced at his wife, eldest son, and daughter-in-law present, seeing them all with faces of disapproval. It seems fairness is truly in people’s hearts!

How could he not know these issues, hadn’t he previously helped his nephew’s family seek justice from Old Lin? But Old Lin shed so many tears. After so many years of friendship, he honestly couldn’t bring himself to do it.

Cheng Sijin glanced at his father’s expression, then ruthlessly added, "Uncle Lin wants the two families to resume relations, but he only values my brother’s status and ability. But it’s too late, who’s willing to be used?

And another thing, my little sister also told me that Jiao Jiao managed to get her to spill something with just a few words, and Jiao Jiao quickly learned about what happened in the hospital that day, her face turned somber immediately. Sure enough, by the next day, big brother’s family prohibited the Lin Family from freely coming and going. Do you still think it’s suitable for you to speak up and mediate?"

Mr. Cheng laughed, "Alright. I just mentioned it casually just now, I won’t bring it up again. Besides, tonight with your big brother’s and his daughter’s posture, I won’t believe that Old Lin will still approach me for help."

The eldest daughter-in-law of the Cheng Family, Liu Ting, saw the old man smiling, she carefully tugged at her husband and softly asked, "What did my little sister say that made Jiao Jiao angry?"

She knew well enough that ordinary matters truly couldn’t make Zhou Jiao change color. That child has always been composed and calm, keeps everything to herself, rarely showing her real thoughts.

Cheng Sijin looked at his parents, seeing they didn’t stop him, he spoke softly, "Last time Uncle Lin got into trouble, Mrs. Lin wanted to hit Lin Lishan, and was blocked by Xiao Wu. That vile old woman scolded Xiao Wu as a lackey, called big brother a beast. If Dad hadn’t been there at the time, the Lin Family would have wanted to hit Xiao Wu."

Liu Ting was shocked, her mouth agape, for a moment she couldn’t believe, she stammered, "Then, then why didn’t this incident spread? That’s not right, how did my little sister know?"

Mr. Cheng laughed and scolded, "Don’t listen to the eldest babbling nonsense, the matter isn’t that serious."

Cheng Sijin wasn’t pleased to hear his father say this. He retorted, "I didn’t make it up. Xiao Chen and the others heard it clearly outside. My little sister heard it from them. Would they dare to spread false rumors?"

After saying that, he winked at his wife, "Didn’t something worse happen on that day? That matter was set aside, plus later several guards were instructed by Uncle Lin not to spread it. But who are Xiao Chen and the others, they have a good relationship with Xiao Wu, it’s long been spread privately."

Old Mrs. Cheng sneered inside without respect. If the roots aren’t straight, can the vine grow straight and strong, is it possible?

Seeing his father a bit embarrassed after he spoke, Cheng Sijin felt somewhat regretful. He immediately changed the subject, "Dad, what do you think big brother is thinking? Why stop the old men from sending Xiao Wu to military school? Uncle Lin is so eager to win over big brother, exactly for his status. But what’s he thinking, not letting his only son-in-law take on the role, who gets the resources in the future? I’ve advised several times, and each time big brother kept quiet, it really worries me."

Speaking of serious matters, Mr. Cheng returned to his usual shrewdness, he smiled unpredictably, reminded, "Sometimes, when you don’t want it, others more eagerly want to force it. Zhang Guoqing is still far from graduating, why rush it."

Cheng Sijin’s eyes flashed a moment of realization, nodding knowingly.

"Instead of entering the department early, why not first establish connections. You see Zhang Guoqing now, isn’t he associating with all sorts of groups, hasn’t your big brother not stopped him? Now if he had such good conditions at military school and in the army?"

Mr. Cheng saw the eldest son’s couple seriously engaged, noting there were no outsiders. He also had the heart to offer a few pointers. The eldest was excellent, but still relied on courage, lacking some strategy.

This is also why he chose Liu Ting as the eldest daughter-in-law. Having a smart yet generous daughter-in-law has always been his pride.
