Rebirth in the 50s: The Couple with the Hidden Space-Chapter 580 - 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." 𝑓𝓇𝘦ℯ𝘸𝘦𝑏𝓃𝑜𝘷ℯ𝑙.𝑐𝑜𝓂

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."

Liu Ting listened with indignation, "The Lin Family is truly too arrogant, having done so many bad things and still wanting to hit people? They now have the nerve to face the Zhou Family? What’s wrong with our Xiao Wu being called a lackey, how does it bother that dead old woman. She’s from a wealthy family background, yet her house is full of thieves and harlots. How dare she insult others, really doesn’t know her own face.

Xiao Wu, that silly boy, is too foolish, why bother with Lin Lishan’s rotten affairs. She’s not good either, seeing her son-in-law being bullied and still siding with her parents."

Mr. Cheng originally had his mouth open, after hearing his daughter-in-law’s words, he closed it tightly.

Ah, forget it, let them misunderstand. He was too lazy to explain that Zhang Xiaowu wasn’t easy to deal with either. The Lin Family took a big hit that day. Besides, if a real fight broke out, a roomful of people wouldn’t be enough for Zhang Xiaowu to beat up, even Eldest Lin might not be able to fight that kid bare-handed.

As he thought of this, Cheng Sijin, truly his son, slapped his thigh, complaining as he looked at his father, "You shouldn’t have stopped it that day, let Xiao Wu beat up the Lin Family to relieve some anger. Maybe, scare the Lin Family’s brat and she wouldn’t dare to harm people."

Mr. Cheng looked helplessly to his wife for comfort. Saying it like this, it’s all his fault now? He couldn’t possibly argue back with his son and daughter-in-law at his age.

Old Mrs. Cheng enjoyed a father-son debate, laughing happily. She had heard her husband describe the hospital scene on the day it happened, nobody understood more clearly than she did what had happened.

A lackey? Hehe... since Zhang Guoqing got into a prestigious university, the Lin Family’s face has been smacked swollen. That old woman’s eldest grandson may have been raised with care, but what’s the use—still can’t even transfer to the Northeast Military District. Where’s the supposed excellent talent, where’s the most outstanding junior of the Lin Family?

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.
