Rebirth in the 60s: A Path to Counterattack-Chapter 66 - 0. Sharing both misfortune and fortune starts from the present moment.

But what he thought was completely natural, Shuzhen found absolutely unbearable!

In their past life, it was the same; the foolish man would always prioritize her and the children.

It was like having a hundred dollars where it was perfectly natural for her and the kids to spend it all, but not right for him to even spend a penny he worked hard to earn.

By being frugal all his life, he ended up with two ungrateful brats.

Heartbroken over a scumbag for years, and just when she decided to live life seriously, the ungrateful brats drove her mad again. Always letting the one who loved her the most and treated her the best suffer and be wronged, wasn’t she essentially an ungrateful brat herself?

After silently berating herself for one second, Shuzhen decided not to dwell on the irreversible things from the past but to focus on tackling the man’s ’bad habit’ of unknowingly wronging himself.

Sharing both ups and downs starts with this bowl of noodles with a poached egg right in front of her!

After quickly washing up, Shuzhen went back to the kitchen to get another bowl. Without a word, she divided the large bowl of noodles into two, with one poached egg for each.

Knowing that he always practiced taking a back seat for himself, giving good things to siblings and later to nephews and nieces. Now, it was her turn and her little ingrate inside.

If she weren’t firm in her attitude, there’d be no hope of changing his habit of always being overly accommodating, giving and receiving less pleasure.

So when Lianshan was awkwardly trying to push the noodles and egg back to Shuzhen, saying he, a rough old man, could get full on just about anything, Shuzhen shot him a glaring look that left Lianshan, who was used to her gentle, sweet image and thought of her as fragile, completely dumbfounded.

Before he could wonder why his pretty wife’s behavior was so different from his impression, Shuzhen quickly held down the hand he was using to push the noodles and egg back.

Lianshan looked up, quite puzzled at Shuzhen, but was shocked by the seriousness in her eyes: "Since we’re married, we should share both happiness and hardship for a lifetime. I know you’re good to me, Lianshan, but in life as a couple, one person doesn’t get the good rice while the other gets the gruel. From now on, whatever you eat, I eat the same. We share the good and the bad, no more differentiating. Otherwise, I’ll assume you don’t see me as a lifelong partner..."

"No, no, Shuzhen, absolutely not, you’re overthinking it. I was just thinking that since you’re pregnant, one person eating for two should eat more good food so that you’ll be healthier and the baby will grow well.

Unfortunately, I don’t have much ability, and there’s not much flour and eggs at home. If we share, we might run out in a few meals. Besides, I’m just a rough old man, I can fill up on anything, so there’s no need to waste the white flour and eggs, right?

Really, that’s what I was thinking, it’s definitely not that I want to treat you differently, please don’t overthink it, okay?" Seeing his wife’s face getting tighter, Lianshan quickly apologized sincerely.

His wife caring for him and giving him good food was definitely a good thing. If he came out with a clumsy explanation and ruined the beautiful moment, that would indeed be a sin!

Seeing the foolish man sweating in a hurry, Shuzhen couldn’t bear to make it hard for him either.

With chopsticks, she picked up a few strands of noodles and gently brought them to his mouth: "I know you’re doing it for my own good, saving the best for me and...the child. But if I’m eating well while making you, the head of the family, eat porridge with just garlic and eggplant, even if it’s a feast, I wouldn’t eat it sweet.

Let’s eat the noodles and egg together, and have porridge and pickles together. No matter the storms or status, we’ll go through life together.

Even if there’s only a bun, we share it half each. Lianshan, don’t you think that’s good?"

Being looked at with such full affection and sincerity, Lianshan felt half of his body soften. His whole heart felt like being soaked in hot springs in winter or drinking ice spring water in summer, feeling warm inside and out. Even if Shuzhen offered him poison in front of him, he would still drink it with a smile from being so moved, let alone a fragrant bowl of noodles with egg?

Being fed several bites muddle-headedly by Shuzhen, he realized the poached egg had been half-eaten.

Smiling helplessly while shaking his head, his heart was full of warmth.

Lianshan thought he probably would never forget the taste of this bowl of noodles with egg and Shuzhen’s triumphant sly smile at the corner of her lips.

No matter the storms or status in this life, we’ll go through life together, sharing even a single bun. This sweetness overwhelmed Lianshan, who had suffered so much since childhood, making him unable and unwilling to refuse.

Just that his wife being pregnant, she should be better nourished.

The family’s situation had never improved much; even with some profit from sale of ginseng, they couldn’t freely spend it.

To endure the ups and downs with his wife without affecting her health and the child’s development, Lianshan felt it was necessary to focus on how to earn money, to earn it openly and justly.

For him, a rough old man, enjoying or suffering is a trivial matter, but his wife and child are his treasures, not to be wronged in the slightest!

While Lianshan was torn, he didn’t know that Shuzhen was also drafting a plan in her mind.

Watching as the rain outside went from heavy to light, with a few drops during dinner, now the sun began to peek at the horizon.

Indeed, the saying that rain in the morning leads to a clear day holds true.

Isn’t this the perfect opportunity to go up the mountain and gather mushrooms after the rain?

Just yesterday, Lin Yuanzhi mentioned the debt they still owed, and today, their whole family hurried up the mountain, eager to pay it off. Even she, the newlywed and pregnant woman, was not left behind, which indirectly showed their determination to not fall behind and the assertiveness of someone like Lin Yuanzhi.

Demanding debt at a wedding, isn’t he not much different from Huang Shiren?

Shuzhen thought, if only given a chance, she could thoroughly disgrace Lin Yuanzhi, that lackey.

The only problem is: how can she persuade her man to let her go up the mountain!
