Rebirth in the 50s: The Couple with the Hidden Space-Chapter 757 - 632: An Important Person?

Under the night, Zhang Guoqing’s face showed no change, but his heart was pounding. He had a hunch that this Hu Xiaohui was the same Hu Xiaohui.

Who else in the world could forge records without leaving a single photo? How could someone just leave a perfectly good university like that?

He understood too well what a household registration represented. If an ordinary person lost their registration, could they survive? It only meant that someone had already handled it for her.

Even those enemy agents wouldn’t dare act recklessly. Someone appearing at a new address without matching identity? Isn’t that courting death?

Such a multitude of thoughts flashed in a moment, Zhang Guoqing silently took over, holding the envelope, looking at his brother who was as thin as a skeleton, resolutely pulled his hand.

"Do you mind if Zhou Jiao knows?"

Li Qinglin smiled, "Looking for you means she’ll know too? I trust the two of you."

Zhang Guoqing, holding his hand, started walking back, "Don’t rush back yet. We’ll discuss this with Jiao Jiao. She knows several influential girls, handing it over to her is definitely more appropriate."

Li Qinglin couldn’t possibly refuse upon hearing this. He didn’t even need to be pulled and hastened his pace. It would be even better if Zhou Jiao helped. Ordinary people might not succeed in checking information, but as Zhou Xiaozheng’s daughter, with her backing and means, she was indeed more reliable than a brother-in-law.

"Would she find it troublesome?"

Zhang Guoqing assured him, "No way!"

If it were like finding a needle in a haystack with no clues, perhaps Zhou Jiao would become impatient. But now, as long as she looks at the handwriting, if it’s roughly confirmed to be that Hu Xiaohui, she’d definitely be interested.

The two brothers, arms around each other’s shoulders, passed by the gravel road leading to the North Mountain Foot, they saw from afar a group of young wives gathered in front of a household.

Among the women chatting while busy twisting ropes and sewing shoes, leisurely fanning herself, wasn’t it Zhou Jiao. Perhaps talking about something interesting, as the women were laughing continuously.

Before Zhang Guoqing and his companion got any closer, their clan cousins—a sharp-eyed Liu Cui’e called out, "Look who’s here, coming to find his wife just after a short time. Aren’t you ashamed, a grown man like you?"

"The two of them are still young; we should be tactful."

"Can Jiao Jiao handle Xiao Wu’s physique?"

Zhou Jiao: "..." These women have gone mad, blurting out such lewd comments.

She hurriedly stood up to leave, "We have guests at home, I’ll head back first. Come visit me at home when you have time."

Li Qingshan’s wife patted a few people next to her, "Say less, our little sister-in-law is shy." Then she waved to Zhou Jiao, "Go ahead, they might need you."

Zhou Jiao smiled and nodded, walked a few steps forward, and met Zhang Guoqing and his companion, then quickly followed them home.

"Do you want to stay for a bit longer?" 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝒆𝒘𝙚𝓫𝙣𝙤𝒗𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢

Zhou Jiao shook her head. If it weren’t for the overwhelming enthusiasm, she wouldn’t have liked going out. Better to spend that time making some good food or reading at home. A group of women chattering endlessly, with topics all over the place, weren’t really useful.

Upon returning home, Zhang Guoqing closed the courtyard door, lit the kerosene lamp with a lighter, and brought the lamp to the living room.

"Where did you get the lighter? If you have more, give me one too."

"Get lost! This one was snatched from that boy Dayong. But even so, it won’t last, my dad was fussed about it yesterday, still need to give it to him."

Zhou Jiao glanced at Zhang Guoqing with a silent smile. This guy now lies without a blink. She had brought many back home. Wan Dayong had long given one to his dad. And yet he said Ping’an was stingy, he couldn’t be much more generous himself.

"Don’t bother with these trinkets, in the future, you’ll have so many, you’ll dismiss them." Zhang Guoqing said vaguely. If it really was that Hu Xiaohui, this buddy would’ve struck gold, still care about these foreign goods?

"You’re just making it up!" Li Qinglin laughed carelessly.

Zhang Guoqing found it increasingly amusing.

After entering the living room, once the three of them were seated, he handed the envelope to Zhou Jiao, "You open it and see, Lin Zi wants to find this person, the details are all inside."

Zhou Jiao suspiciously looked at him, seeing him smile and wink, "A very important person?"

"You take a look first, you’ll know once you see it."

After hearing this, Zhou Jiao glanced at Li Qinglin, and noticed he was looking down at the ground. Was he embarrassed? It was a rare sight! She suddenly became very curious.

Zhou Jiao pulled out two sheets of paper from the envelope, looked under the lamplight at the name, the handwriting, and was dumbfounded...

Immediately, she looked towards Zhang Guoqing with questioning eyes, "If I’m not mistaken, this should be Lin Zi’s intended, right?"

Zhang Guoqing had been watching her reaction all along. Even if Zhou Jiao’s expression remained normal, but who was he? He prided himself on knowing his wife like the back of his hand. He had anticipated this correctly.

He nodded with a smile, "Yes! Lin Zi’s significant other. Previously left school midway, departed without saying goodbye, leaving Lin Zi to wait for her until graduation. Lin Zi wasn’t at ease and went to the South looking for her, but found that the girl at the address didn’t match. Lin Zi is worried she’s in trouble and is eager to find her."

Li Qinglin raised his head and said to Zhou Jiao, "Can you find someone with just this information?"

Facing his hopeful gaze, Zhou Jiao really couldn’t bear to look. That girl was dead! She dared to deceive such a simple child.

"Wait a moment, I have a few questions. You must tell the truth."

"Alright, ask away."

Zhou Jiao’s mind was racing, and her fingers continuously tapped on the armrest of the chair, looking at him, "Are you sure about the other party?"

Li Qinglin nodded.

"Then tell me more about her features? Finding someone with just this information is like finding a needle in a haystack, possibly even the name is fake."

"Alas... I know. But this person just disappeared inexplicably, my heart..." Li Qinglin said, rubbing his face vigorously with both hands.

Zhou Jiao looked at his face as thin as a rake, and the melancholy in his tone, really didn’t have the heart to keep questioning. But some things forced her to ask.

"Can you be sure she loves you? Look at these two notes, one asking you to wait, and the other saying not to wait for her. If we find her and she has settled down, what will you do?"

Alright. Asking here, Zhou Jiao admitted she was idly wanting to watch the show. That girl hid well! Said she wasn’t looking to date young, yet out for so long, said nothing. Alright, this time she must be properly disciplined!

Wait! When she returned home, she left her school address with her. Could that girl find out where her man Zhang Guoqing is from? If she finds out, wouldn’t she know right away?

"Some things I don’t express openly, but I can 100% believe she has me in her heart. If... if she has settled and is doing well, then I can only wish her well. Zhou Jiao, please find a way to help your brother this time. I must meet her in person to ask her what she means, otherwise, I can’t let it go."

Zhang Guoqing punched him with a smile, jokingly scolded, "Don’t spout nonsense, damn ’brother’! Stop giving yourself titles!"

Li Qinglin was so exasperated he rolled his eyes at him several times, "You vinegar jar!"

Zhou Jiao laughed, "Alright, leave it to me. I’ll inform you as soon as there’s news."

Li Qinglin’s spirit lifted upon hearing this, "How long do you think it will take? Finding someone costs money, I’ll send you some tomorrow. Don’t be polite with me. Besides favors, there’s also gratitude, I can’t let you pay out of pocket."
