Reborn in the 1980s: Recapture My Devoted Husband-Chapter 506 - 500: Liang Weixiang’s Streak of Bad Luck (Part One)

My daughter said that the restaurant is even bigger than the state-owned restaurant in their county and more luxurious in decor.

She has no concept of decor, just judging from her daughter’s description, it seems great. 𝑓𝘳𝑒𝑒𝓌𝘦𝘣𝘯ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝑚

The courtyard of Liang Hongmei’s house is very large, and there are many rooms. The furniture inside is top-notch, and the food and clothes they have are better than those of city people. Having money doesn’t seem to mean much to them. She used to think Liang Hongmei just ran a small diner.

If money doesn’t matter, then just how wealthy are they? Her man works himself to the bone all day long and earns only one dollar a day; yet compared to the people for miles around, they are still considered well-off.

Her daughter just serves food over there and makes fifteen dollars a month.

Liang Weixiang was tempted. She thought about it for several days and decided to follow her daughter to S City. Anyway, Liang Hongmei’s house has many rooms, and as a widow, her daughter is married, and her son isn’t married yet. It would be just right for her to go; she might even be able to matchmake her daughter with Ah Hui. Her own daughter is foolish, always under her nose, thirty days a month for several months, and still hasn’t won anyone over. She doesn’t know what she’s doing.

When Liang Weixiang mentioned this to her family, she faced unanimous opposition.

The foremost was Zhang Dandan, who initially talked to her mom about these things, just to show off her life in the city in front of them. When discussing her salary and living place, Zhang Dandan was a bit reserved, only telling her family about the fifteen-dollar salary per month. Usually, she just lived at the aunt’s place. If mom really went, everything she said would be exposed. Her mom would surely take her salary from her. Her good days would officially be over.

Father Zhang naturally objected. The whole family needed her for care; he had the skills, and the family didn’t worry about food and drink, so why go so far to earn some money there?

Living under someone else’s roof, no matter how good it is, isn’t as comfortable as one’s own den.

If it wasn’t for the youngest daughter sneaking off there, he wouldn’t have let her go. She gave up good studies to work somewhere, making a fool of herself.

He had originally thought, as long as his youngest daughter was smart, she would get into high school, and after two more years of financial support, attend a teachers’ training school. Once she graduated, she could become a teacher in town, which is a far more dignified job.

He had already worked out connections with the principal of a small school.

Now that she’s been coaxed away by her mom, all those years of education went down the drain.

His intention was that his youngest daughter should not go this year; when school starts, she should speak with the principal to continue her studies. At the very least, she ought to finish high school.

The eldest and second eldest daughters-in-law were even more unwilling. Although they had separated their families, they still had two kids at home waiting for Grandma’s care.

If grandma left, taking care of the kids wouldn’t just be hard on them, they would have to look after Father Zhang’s whole family. Father Zhang might be okay, as he was their responsibility, but their young brother-in-law was a loafer. He was lazy, only looking for money from home.

They had no desire to take care of this big master.

Liang Weixiang didn’t expect that the whole family would oppose, including her youngest daughter.

Unable to leave now, and with all that money slipping away, she felt disheartened.

This New Year was spent under the pressure of Liang Weixiang’s dissatisfaction.

No one in the family felt comfortable because of Liang Weixiang.

During the New Year visit to her family, seeing Liang Hongmei’s new house, she felt even more bitter.

Liang Hongmei, who knows what luck she found. After so many years, she couldn’t surpass her. Yet as they grew older, she had now gone ahead, thriving more every day in the big city.

Feeling indignant, Liang Weixiang secretly spread the word about her youngest daughter going to S City in the village of her family.

Liang Hongmei thought she was so great. But see how this indiscreet woman could be proud now.

A widow will always be a widow, unable to avoid those filthy scandals.

Father Zhang wouldn’t let her go, nor the youngest daughter, and by the market opening on the seventh, Father Zhang brought along gifts and took his daughter to meet the school leadership. After much pleading, they agreed to let the child return to school.

Little did he know, the very next day, Liang Weixiang sneaked off with her youngest daughter to catch the train to S City.

....

S City

Han Yi and Lin Wan rarely enjoyed a few days of just the two of them, as Little Star was practically being held by the Ning couple during the day.

Today, after Han Yi and Lin Wan had just returned from visiting Grandma, they received a call from Uncle.

Hearing her uncle’s words, Lin Wan was surprised and said, "What? Auntie is here too? ... Alright, I understand, Uncle. Yes, I will. Is everything at home okay...? Alright, good."
