Reborn in the 1980s: Recapture My Devoted Husband-Chapter 513 - 505: Additional Update

She didn’t even get a bite to eat before being kicked out, and the clothes in her hand were also snatched back.

"Ah Mei, I don’t know the way. Let me stay, I know I was wrong. I will change, I surely will. I won’t stay for free. I’ll do all the housework, laundry, and cooking from now on." Liang Weixiang didn’t want to lose this chance.

If it doesn’t work out this time, there really won’t be an opportunity to move in later.

"Are you leaving or not? I’ll give you one opportunity, I’ll send you to the bus stop. If you are still like this, feel free to stand outside. I won’t open the door for you."

"Ah Mei, this isn’t good. If the neighbors see it, they will gossip about you."

"Didn’t you ask today? You should know I’m not familiar with them. I don’t care what they say."

"Alright, alright, I’ll go back. Please take me. Can I have the clothes? I’m unbearably cold." This time, Liang Weixiang didn’t dare to say more.

"With the box-making job, you sit inside all day, you can’t wear something so thick," Liang Hongmei said as she put the clothes back in her room, turned around, and pushed Liang Weixiang out, locking the door.

Liang Weixiang was very afraid that Liang Hongmei would leave her outside, so she didn’t dare say much. Her loose mouth cost her the clothes that were within reach. That girl, Dan Dan, is something else.

She knew perfectly well that Liang Hongmei wasn’t home but still didn’t come to get her back, leaving her out there to freeze all day.

Unwillingly, Liang Weixiang got on the bus and alighted at the stop Liang Hongmei mentioned.

Relying on memory, she finally reached home.

As soon as she entered, she saw Zhang Dandan eating steaming white rice.

Anger boiled up in Liang Weixiang, and she slapped Zhang Dandan, "How can I have a cruel daughter like you! Watch how I won’t beat you to death!"

"Mom, what’s going on with you?" Zhang Dandan quickly dodged Liang Weixiang, running around everywhere.

Deep inside, her impatience grew strong.

...

The gathering today was at Lin Yuan’s place. They lived in a newly-built apartment building, in the same building as Yang Wei.

Lin Yuan didn’t come regularly, so when Wang Yuan applied, they opted for the top floor, leaving the ones below for others.

Since Lin Yuan didn’t come often, the house wasn’t very decorated. When she wasn’t there, apart from coming back to sleep, Wang Yuan mostly ate at the army canteen.

"Xiao Wan, your Little Star is so adorable. Let’s become godparents!" From the moment Lin Wan entered, Little Star was scooped up by Lin Yuan and hadn’t been put down since, and cooking was wholly left to Lin Wan and Shi Lan, as Lin Yuan directly played the role of a carefree boss.

"No way. Little Star already has one godmother, and besides, your son is great. Why be envious of my kid?" As soon as Lin Yuan finished speaking, Lin Wan flatly refused. This time Lin Yuan had brought her kid along too. Three or four years old and looked a lot like Lin Yuan.

This provoked Lin Yuan to glare tearfully at Lin Wan, then resentfully looked at Shi Lan.

Shi Lan laughed, "This is called proximity advantage, Little Star can only be my goddaughter."

Lin Yuan wasn’t angry, raised an eyebrow, and laughed, "It’s okay, if not godmother, I can be her mother-in-law later."

Lin Yuan’s words made Lin Wan realistically eye Wang Zeyang, "That’ll depend on how your Wang Zeyang acts. My daughter isn’t so easily pursued."

"Auntie, Auntie, I like the little sister, I like the little sister."

"Haha, see, my son is something else."

"Oh, stop it, you." Lin Wan laughed.

The three appeared harmonious, making Sun Yu feel awkward on the side, sitting alone with her child, feeling sort of left out. "What’s good about girls? They grow up to belong to others. Xiao Yuan, if you’re thinking of godparenting, why not choose my son? When they grow up, he can be filial to you. Zeyang, look at your little brother, do you like him?" Sun Yu knew Lin Yuan had quite a special family. Recently, there was a big leader who stayed at their place for two days. Constantly going upstairs and downstairs, with dedicated service soldiers following. Easily two at a time.

Yang Wei said that Wang Yuan had been here for less than three years, and according to higher-ups, he’d immediately rise after those three years.

So recently, she would casually go to Lin Yuan’s place with the child, making small talk and building a rapport. 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝒆𝔀𝒆𝙗𝓷𝒐𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝓶

Sun Yu considered that she and Lin Yuan got on fairly well during this time.

But Lin Yuan had different thoughts. Every day when Sun Yu came over with the child, Lin Yuan felt really impatient inside; she just couldn’t openly kick her out.

She said to let the two kids play together; her Zeyang was already four, while their Little Stone was still unable to speak, how could they play? Kids like to follow bigger kids. Her son had been running wild with other boys in the compound these days; where would he have time for her son?

Lin Yuan gave Sun Yu a sheepish smile, nudged her own husband, "As for a godson, let’s forget it, Wang Yuan just adores daughters."

Sun Yu laughed awkwardly, holding the child, not saying anything else, her heart turning cold.

She felt Lin Yuan did it on purpose to embarrass her, and what was so great about Lin Wan, wasn’t it just because she married well?

Why wasn’t Han Yi the one she met back then? During the countryside days, Yang Wei seemed capable, but coming out these past years, she realized there are always people better than you.

There were many more capable than him. It was her own short-sightedness, being deceived for a moment. Now it was too late for regrets.

Upon entering, Lin Wan greeted Sun Yu but didn’t say much after. Unlikable people, the words exchanged were insincere.

But Sun Yu frequently tried to converse with Lin Wan.

"Sister-in-law Lin, I hear your daughter drinks formula milk, wealthy people are surely different, they aren’t bothered by these little costs, unlike us, earning a fixed salary, we can’t afford that expensive formula, lacking nutrition, the kid often falls sick."

"When I’m home, she rarely drinks formula. Mainly when I’m teaching at night, my mom will feed some formula if she gets hungry. Illness doesn’t relate to formula, the adults just need to pay more attention, drink light milk-increasing soups, and avoid stress. When adults aren’t stressed, kids don’t fall ill easily."

Shi Lan nearby caught Sun Yu’s gist, thinking she was bragging that she and her husband had secure jobs, looking down on those in private businesses like them.

"I’d say formula is good, rich in nutrients, makes kids look exceptionally fair and tender. Look at Little Star, her skin is fantastic. Sun’s family earns fixed salaries, surely can’t afford formula, unlike business owners like us, who can provide for children. But you and Yang Lian should save a bit, you can manage a monthly can of formula. Sun, if nutrition is lacking, why not give the kid a can a month? If he drinks for two months, he’ll look as fair and tender as Little Star."

"Boys can’t be compared to girls, raising them rough isn’t a problem. I’m actually thinking of letting his grandma take him back home after he turns sixteen. It’s expensive here, and his grandma isn’t adjusting, always saying here isn’t as good as home. Even after a year, she misses home. Going back is good; Yang Wei’s hometown is spring-like all year round, suitable for raising kids."

"Oh, Sister, the child isn’t even half a year old, how will he be fed?" Lin Yuan looked heartbrokenly at the small child in Sun Yu’s arms, wondering how Sun Yu planned to leave such a young kid with elderly.

Sun Yu chuckled brightly, "His grandpa has sheep at home, in our village, kids without milk mostly grow up drinking sheep milk. It’s economical and nutrient-rich."

Lin Wan and Shi Lan in the kitchen exchanged a glimpse, indicating their lack of understanding.

Lin Wan partially guessed Sun Yu’s intentions.

Letting the elderly raise the child, first, she could have more leisure. Second, cut expenses; three adults and a child incurred significant costs here. Third, she could send the elderly away; if the relationship wasn’t easy, it was better to send Yang Wei’s mother back home, avoiding daily arguments.

Without the child or the elderly, the couple could enjoy alone time again.

All she had to do was send some money home monthly.

Unbeknownst to them, Lin Wan’s guess was precisely Sun Yu’s plan. She and Yang Wei had discussed it for a long time before getting his approval.

Moreover, the mother-in-law was quite pleased with Sun Yu’s decision. Recently, the differences in childcare between the two had been significant, neither willing to yield. She couldn’t abide by her daughter-in-law’s childcare methods.

Returning home to raise the child was good, avoiding daily arguments and keeping her grandson close. Plus, her son gave them twenty bucks monthly.

Sun Yu’s thought process left the trio bewildered. A child nearby allows the best education. Being a teacher herself, raising the child early would be better.

Sure enough, their lack of understanding was people’s own business, they had no right to interfere.

As Lin Wan finished preparing the dishes, the men returned.
