Reborn in the 1980s: Recapture My Devoted Husband-Chapter 511 - 503: Returning to the Team

In the Liang Hongmei family in S City, they are not so easy to bully like a few years ago. Her mom obviously hasn’t realized this problem.

After eating, Zhang Dandan pulled Liang Weixiang back to her small courtyard.

On the way, Liang Weixiang complained she didn’t get to see Lin Yinghui today. Even during the meal, her son-in-law didn’t come out.

"Your aunt now has money and is tough, doesn’t take us seriously. We came all this way, and neither her son nor son-in-law treat me as an elder."

Zhang Dandan didn’t want to pay attention to her. All the way here, mom kept embarrassing her. How come she never noticed back in the hometown that her mom was so vulgar and unpresentable?

Even the uneducated Liang Hongmei was more cultured than her mom, who had two years of schooling.

As soon as mom entered their home, she complained about this and that and even asked them for clothes. When they gave her clothes, she complained they were ugly.

How can they treat her well? Moreover, today’s meal was clearly not up to their usual standard.

Coarse flatbread and stir-fried cabbage. That had to have been prepared by aunt on purpose.

Humph, if they don’t want to see us, so be it. Anyway, she doesn’t care about their family anymore.

Thinking of this, a figure flitted through Zhang Dandan’s mind, and she smirked a little.

When the two returned to the small courtyard, it was past seven, and Zhang Dandan, being experienced, heated the kang bed.

The coal stove’s fire was out; Zhang Dandan didn’t care about Liang Weixiang bustling around the room and picked a piece of coal to go next-door to Ye Qing’s house.

Originally, she wanted to ignite a piece of coal. But as soon as she knocked on the door, Ye Qing saw the piece of coal in her hand and knew what she wanted to do.

With a cold face, Ye Qing said, "From now on, don’t bring your coal over to my house." After saying this, Ye Qing slammed the door.

Leaving Zhang Dandan dumbfounded. "Humph, who did I offend? Why are you taking it out on me? If you won’t let me, so be it. Who cares?"

She said this as she put the coal back in the big pot stove and reignited the fire, by the way, heating the kang again.

"Dandan, isn’t this courtyard a bit small?" "Mom, this courtyard is better than our house. Stop being picky. Didn’t you see? Aunt was doing it on purpose today. We arrived at their house, and she didn’t give us a good face. She just doesn’t want you staying at her place. Give up on that idea."

"If you don’t stay at their house, how can you win Ah Hui’s heart? Are you foolish?"

Zhang Dandan uncomfortably replied, "None of your business."

On hearing this, Liang Weixiang got angry, nodding her head while pointing at Zhang Dandan. "We’ve only been out for a little while, and you’ve learned to be tough like Liang Hongmei, huh? Lying to your family, getting your own place, even owning a bicycle, and I’m sure your monthly salary is more than just fifteen. You haven’t shown me a good face along the way; now I see you don’t want me here. Living alone, more comfortable than anyone, right?"

"Mom, what are you saying? Who doesn’t want you here?" Zhang Dandan felt guilty.

"Humph, you came out of my womb, don’t think I don’t understand you. Come on, tell me how much you’ve been hiding."

"I haven’t hidden any money."

"I struggled so hard for you, coming all this way, and you don’t want your mom to starve or freeze to death, right? Give me fifty dollars, and tomorrow, buy me some cotton and cloth to make a few sets of clothes."

At this, Liang Weixiang wanted to curse, this place is really exceptionally cold, could freeze a person to death.

And those damned thieves, curse them. They stole her money, may they have children without butt holes.

"Mom, I’ve only been here for a few months, really don’t have that much; I only have twenty dollars saved." Zhang Dandan knew she couldn’t fool her mom, so she had to cough up some of her savings. "Mom, actually, aunt is sharp-tongued but soft-hearted. I’m going to work tomorrow. You wander around her place, cry about being poor, she won’t leave you uncared for. At the very least, you’ll save the money for making clothes. Aunt has many nice clothes."

Liang Weixiang glared disapprovingly, "Didn’t you hear her say, I can’t fit into her clothes, what’s the use of them looking nice."

"Then let aunt buy some for you, remember, don’t ask in front of Lin Wan. Cousin is not as easygoing as aunt."

Zhang Dandan, having stayed here for half a year, had figured out the Lin Family’s quirks.

After lighting the stove, Zhang Dandan and her mother boiled some ginger water to drink. Liang Weixiang had been cold for a long time today; she couldn’t get sick.

Lost several hundred dollars, didn’t get any advantage at Liang Hongmei’s, and getting sick would mean spending even more money.

She came to earn money, not to spend it.

Liang Weixiang thought her daughter made some sense. Liang Hongmei wasn’t that heartless, but that Lin Wan girl was hard to deal with. Tomorrow, she’ll wear this set of clothes to Liang Hongmei’s, and doesn’t believe Liang Hongmei will just watch her freeze.

Lin Wan knew the Liang Weixiang mother and daughter wouldn’t let it go, so she told her mom at night to leave early these days to go to the shop.

Her brother went to the grassroots before the year ended and did well. Just upon starting work, his superior took him on a business trip.

Just the chance to avoid the Liang Weixiang mother and daughter. Lin Wan and Han Yi had planned well and called Lin Yuan when they returned.

Everyone talked about gathering together; originally, Lin Yuan and her family wanted to come over, but last night Lin Wan called them back, saying they would go over there. Early in the morning, their family and Ning Jiang’s family bundled up Little Star and took a ride to the military camp.

The court hasn’t been lived in for a long time, the rooms full of dust. Han Yi let Lin Wan hold the child near the kitchen fire while he cleaned the room alone.

"What do you want for lunch?"

"Aren’t we going to find Lin Yuan at noon?" Lin Wan, holding Little Star by the stove, was hot and wanted to take off her clothes.

"Wang Yuan must be at the camp now; let’s go in the evening."

Lin Wan nodded, "Let’s have noodles, shall we? How about oil-splashed noodles?"

Han Yi sorted the rice, noodles, and vegetables brought back in the morning and started kneading dough himself. He had eaten oil-splashed noodles before and knew how to make them.

"The vegetables we brought will last us two days; we’re not going back these days, are we?"

Han Yi smiled, "You don’t think your mom can handle your aunt’s mother and daughter alone?"

"You’re underestimating your mother-in-law. My mom is not as she used to be. She knows what to do. My aunt is very competitive, no matter how much you give her, she won’t be satisfied. Might as well give nothing. Apart from complaining, saying my mom has no conscience, she can’t do much else."

Han Yi chuckled, "If you don’t want to go back, we can stay here for a few more days. Until the day I return to school, how about that?"

At the mention of Han Yi leaving, Lin Wan felt uneasy. Although knowing it’s been a month, Lin Wan always felt like they haven’t been together long. Time passed too quickly.

Han Yi glanced back to see Lin Wan was unhappy, so he didn’t care about the dough on his hands and knelt in front of Lin Wan tenderly calling, "Xiao Wan."

He didn’t know how to comfort his wife. Every time they parted, he too felt reluctant and sad. As a soldier, he couldn’t neglect his duty and act willfully; he couldn’t just live for himself. Lin Wan, seeing him like this, dared not feel emotional; she didn’t want him to worry for her. Leaning her head on his shoulder, she asked, "Can I visit you when I can?"

"Yes, I can rent a place outside for you anytime you come."

Upon hearing this, Lin Wan gave him a playful glare. It sounded like an affair.

"When I come, I won’t bring our daughter."

"Hmm, it’s okay if you come alone; I’m not comfortable with the child coming."

"Hmm, by the time you graduate, I’ll graduate too. Little Star will be two."

"By then, let’s have another one, I’ll give you a son."

"Xiao Wan, one child is good." Inside, Han Yi thought one child was enough. This way, when he’s not home, Lin Wan wouldn’t be too burdened.

"We can afford it; why not?" On this matter, Lin Wan wasn’t going to comply with Han Yi. More children are good. Regardless of gender, Little Star won’t be lonely in the future, and when they’re old, the burden won’t be too great.

"Alright, alright, whatever you say." Han Yi knew this wasn’t the right time to discuss the matter. He stood up and continued making noodles.

...

Liang Weixiang didn’t sleep well all night. She wasn’t used to the kang bed here, so hard her back hurt severely the next morning.

Despite this, Liang Weixiang headed to Liang Hongmei’s house early in the morning.

She didn’t know the way herself, so she had Zhang Dandan take her there; Zhang Dandan only escorted her to the street entrance and didn’t go inside.

"Mom, I’m off to work. Aunt will surely still be at home, so just stay at their place. Aunt’s heart will soften."

"Fine, I know what to do. Hurry to work. Bring more food back tonight to save us from spending money."

"I understand."
