Rebirth in the 60s: A Path to Counterattack-Chapter 56 - 0. Moved

It’s just sixteen ten-yuan bills, a mere 160 yuan.

Compared to the box of dowry left for her by her parents, it’s not even worth mentioning.

But these light sixteen paper bills made Shuzhen’s heart swell with an indescribable sweetness, the intense joy felt like having the whole world at her feet.

In her excitement, she did something she was ashamed to do throughout their past life as a couple.

A big hug rushed over, making Lianshan’s face turn bright red and his nose bleed profusely.

Shuzhen was so alarmed that she didn’t care about embarrassment, she hurriedly fetched water to wash his nose and found cotton to plug his nostrils. After everything was taken care of, she started feeling fear after the fact. Just...

Afraid that Lianshan would think she’s too forward, too reckless, lacking the modesty of a woman. Even suspect her character, regret his decision to marry her, and so on.

In fact, Lianshan, apart from being extremely happy and endlessly enthusiastic, was also just as embarrassed, right?

Afraid that his immature and careless demeanor might make Shuzhen disdainful. Even more afraid that staying in this room full of pink bubbles for too long would make him...

Even less than a beast.

Doing something inappropriate and offending his beloved. Giving the future brothers-in-law who were already eyeing him an excuse to ruin the happily awaited marriage he dreamed of every day and night. After hurriedly cleaning the blood off his nose, Lianshan quickly made an excuse to leave, his staggered steps as if being chased by wolves.

Seeing this person so embarrassed yet still considerate of her reputation. Taking several winding and pointless paths just to avoid being seen coming out of her house and subject her to gossip, Shuzhen couldn’t help but feel a sweetness in her heart.

While washing the towel stained with his blood, she smiled dumbly, more satisfied than when the Dai family came early unexpectedly.

One door away, Liu Shouren watched with relief as his sister showed a happy smile, shook his head, and turned back to his room.

If Lianshan can always remain true to his original intentions and keep his words and actions consistent, then his sister’s latter half of life should be well-secured, right?

With parents long gone, it was the eldest brother who struggled to raise the siblings like both brother and father.

In Lian Yue and Lian Hai’s hearts, their elder brother has always been a presence closer than their parents.

Originally, when the elder brother arranged dowries and weddings for them, they made a firm resolve in their hearts: When the elder brother gets married, they’ll definitely contribute money or effort to ensure he marries dignifiedly.

Sadly, heaven didn’t fulfill their wishes. Despite working hard from dawn till dusk, life never seemed to improve. Whenever improvement seemed imminent, unexpected troubles arose, creating new debts before old ones were cleared.

Even though Lian Yue wasn’t as unlucky as Lian Hai, life was at best merely comfortable, with no surplus funds.

With over a hundred yuan now in hand, both Lian Yue and Lian Hai breathed a long sigh of relief.

Thank heavens, it finally allowed them some ability to prepare something for the elder brother!

Seeing the elder brother’s house built and the furniture made. Over with Saozi, preparations included a bicycle, blankets, fabric, and other large items. It heard that the Liu family’s eldest and second brothers even sold a lot of grain at the agricultural and by-products acquisition station for fabric and cotton tickets to prepare two quilts for Saozi.

Hardware-wise, the siblings couldn’t contribute much, but they could start from the small things, right?

Adding the things the elder brother hadn’t had time to buy, so when Saozi entered the door, she’d feel comfortable everywhere, showing the siblings’ thoughtful care!

Afraid that the elder brother would quickly arrange the remaining pieces leaving no place for their input, Lian Yue and Lian Hai agreed to rush over to the newly built house.

The sister had never been wealthy and the brother was carrying debts.

Lianshan was instinctively against them preparing gifts for him.

Yet, as a kind elder brother, he was never good at refusing the requests of his siblings.

Seeing these two grown-up children both tearing up in front of him, saying that they’d been cared for by their elder brother since young, and now grown and capable, they wanted to care for him like he did them. If he wouldn’t let them contribute to his wedding, then it would feel like they couldn’t be happy for a lifetime.

The good brother Lianshan immediately made a surrender gesture, half helplessly and half warmly accepting the intentions of his siblings.

Of course, to prevent these two from spending too much on his wedding, bringing them back to the old poverty-stricken state after finally achieving a debt-free life. Lianshan advised them that intentions should be primary and expenditure secondary.

Saving hard-earned money for daily living, returning with the same true intentions as repeated again and again.

In response, Lian Yue and Lian Hai directly took their elder brother to Lian Yue’s house for a few days, letting Ning Jianshe accompany him on outings, leaving the final finishing touches of the new house to them look forward to the big surprise for the elder brother and Saozi.

The joy, everywhere that could be tidied at home had been done, what’s left are small items like thermos flasks, kerosene lamps, bowls, spoons, and such. Calculating wouldn’t cost much, if sister and brother want to add them, let them add.

Rarely are their intentions so sincere that if rejected too much, even if they’d saved money, they wouldn’t feel comfortable.

With such a mindset, Lianshan didn’t resist their arrangements, genuinely happily playing the part of hands-off supervisor.

Each day only taking brother-in-law to hurry into the mountains and fields, hoping a bit more effort brings a bit more harvest, which in turn provides a bit more foundation for a happy life with his wife.

In the future, he’d also have his own little family to support!

Knowing that the brothers-in-law and sister-in-law were busily helping with both labor and money setting up the new house, Shuzhen felt full of joy.

Not caring about the value of their preparations, the rare attitude and intentions count.

The sister-in-law once could not allow others to bully or despise her, yet upon seeing her they might sigh and regret not stopping their brother from marrying her, seeing her in such a valuable light made Shuzhen genuinely happy!

Dreaming eagerly for August 16th, to marry Lianshan under the blessing of the siblings and in-laws, sharing honors and hardships as a couple from then on.

A completely different beginning, a completely different mindset. Their future too must be different, no longer filled with the previous life’s twists and shadows.
