Rebirth in the 60s: A Path to Counterattack-Chapter 112. Puzzled, Evasive

After listening to the vivid account by her second brother, Shuzhen was utterly flabbergasted, wasn’t she?

Turns out, the predecessors plant trees, and the descendants enjoy the shade.

Uncle Wu is grateful for Grandpa’s multiple lifesaving graces and considers the siblings like his own children, protecting them as if they were his own?!

Oh my, this backing came so suddenly, she really needs some time to process.

At this point, her elder brother, second brother, and own husband were all determined to observe this so-called Uncle Wu’s behavior closely over the coming period.

Once they confirm he’s truly good, as nephews and nieces, they certainly won’t hesitate to offer a helping hand.

After all, their heroic grandpa risked his life to protect his comrade, and as juniors, they must show respect for their elders.

"Absolutely!" Shuzhen nods vigorously, indicating that since Uncle Wu has already stepped onto their siblings’ territory, hospitality is a necessity.

Her natural attitude made Liu Shouren and Lianshan chuckle, and Liu Shouyi, who most liked to tease and protect her, even gave her a gentle flick on the forehead: "You have no guard against others at all, what should I do with you, my silly sister!"

Feeling underestimated, Shuzhen rolled her eyes and shot her handsy brother a fierce glare: "You’re the silly one! To be recognized by our grandpa, to call each other brothers and guard lives, how could he be a treacherous villain?

Don’t think that he’s acknowledging kinship now because he wants something, like hanging onto the three of us siblings for some easy days, full stomachs, or whatnot..."

Liu Shouyi snorted softly, giving his little sister a ’isn’t it obvious?’ look.

Earliness in kinship, lateness in kinship, remembering this at the most destitute, helpless moment. Even if one seems straightforward as a fortress, it’s hard not to wander into deeper, broader intentions, right?

"Of course not! A dying camel is still bigger than a horse, a worn-out boat still has three pounds of nails. Having fought for so many years, the kind of human connections from those days is imagination-defying! Even in temporary downfall, there are always people extending help in the open or behind the scene, no need to perform an act just to surround us with warmth under the snow!" Fearing her second brother was overthinking, considering this proactive golden thigh as an obstacle to be removed.

Shuzhen quickly responded, slightly revealing what she knew about the situation of Uncle Wu.

But unexpectedly, her words were like knocking down a gourd only to raise a ladle, just having comforted her second brother, she lifted her head to meet the puzzled gaze of her elder brother and own husband.

Liu Shouren chuckled lightly, nonchalantly asking: "An old hero? Little sister, you seem quite familiar with Uncle Wu’s situation, huh?"

"Yes, oh, that old man just previously said he was partners, buddies with our grandpa, but his tooth gap didn’t mention his own status, why he got forced here for labor. Little sister, how did she know his status?" Liu Shouyi, belatedly, patted his head, joining in on the puzzled questioning.

In an instant, all three pairs of eyes focused intently on Shuzhen.

"How did I know? I, when I went to Beijing to demand an explanation from the Dai chump, I saw Uncle Wu’s picture in his newspaper, isn’t that good enough!" Shuzhen pouted, showing clear frustration as if pressed by the questioning.

Lianshan couldn’t bear to see her struggle even a little, let alone develop the cells for suspicion.

While the Liu brothers could only cherish the forgetfulness of their little sister towards that Dai scoundrel, once again living a happy, fulfilling life with her brother-in-law.

Best if the name ’Dai Weiguo’ disappears from her life forever, once mentioned, who would have the courage or interest to continue asking?

Maybe it’s just a random fart in the woods—it was by coincidence!

Glancing at the trio who had just been filled with suspicion and now collectively switched topics.

Shuzhen couldn’t help but feel secretly relieved, luckily, she had the wit to bring up that Dai scoundrel. Otherwise, today’s hurdle would be truly tough!

After rationalizing Uncle Wu’s identity information, this trio naturally stopped questioning his motives and thought about how to discreetly help him through this long winter.

Though a snake’s tail still moves three days post-mortem, a tiger remains imposing one week after death. Given Uncle Wu’s former status, connections, despite temporarily a tiger down in Pingyang, he hardly needs them for warmth under the snow.

Yet, a senior by the doorstep should never suffer unattended!

Especially since Liu Shouren is pondering the feasible merits of offering warmth and sustenance now, possibly earning Uncle Wu’s protection once he regains his fully restored honor.

Otherwise, just as ordinary citizens, would they dare to flaunt wealth without discretion?

Secretly pretending nothing, but when can they restore the Liu lineage, leaving Dai and his shallow identity lamenting in agony?

Though little sister is remarried to Lianshan, unusually happy and fulfilled, it doesn’t mean Liu Shouren can forget the humiliation and harm Dai once inflicted on her.

Best would be never gaining the opportunity in this lifetime, otherwise, this grievance, this indignation, he surely avenges his sister eventually.

While her husband and brothers figured out how to discreetly support Uncle Wu, Shuzhen was busy stressing about treating Old Man Jiang better.

After all, noble support is uncertain when Uncle Wu will shine again, signal resurgence.

While Old Man Jiang’s intimidating granddaughter is formidable right now, extremely suited as a supporting figure.

Luckily, they’ve successfully attracted Accountant Sun’s petty anger, deployed together to mid-mountain cowshed, while five others assigned pig duties.

Separated groups significantly reduced intrigue and minimized leak risks.

Perfectly, they reside by the cowshed, working cow-related tasks, with Lian Hai as a cart driver frequenting by their cowshed quite often.

Additionally, living near the mountains, isolated, unnoticed by others.

Wanting to subtly care for them is genuinely not hard.

The one caution remains: After yesterday’s incident, they’ve certainly crossed Accountant Sun.

With his vengeful petty nature, hoping not extinguishing causing them trouble.

Shuzhen had zero of these worries.

Now in chilling winds, what more days can Accountant Sun’s autumn locust flaunt?

Thanks to them borrowing a gleam, Old Jiang’s death rewritten from freezing illness, indirectly pulling Accountant Sun back from death’s doorstep.

However, spared from execution but facing hardship.

With his attitude towards Old Jiang and Uncle Wu, if not tormented miserably, he’d be fortunate to escape, imagining himself still a grand accountant?
