Reincarnation in the 60s: My Spatial Supermarket Brings Forth Wealth-Chapter 357 - 355: Linbao

Zhang Yang quickly followed obediently, afraid that if he stayed here, he might also get hit. The look in his brother’s eyes was terrifying.

With the issue here resolved, although Mrs. Zhang Sr. looked in the direction her son left for quite a while, her eyes were full of pain.

But she ended up hating Lin Cuifen even more. It was that woman who ruined her son’s life, and such a good daughter-in-law also died in childbirth because of her. Today, when her granddaughter-in-law was giving birth, she caused a conflict between her son and grandson.

Although just now, when her son was being hit by the brothers of the two granddaughter-in-laws, she wanted to step forward to stop it, but when Mr. Zhang Sr. pulled her back, she too became firm in her stance.

This matter was quickly smoothed over. As soon as Lin Xue came out, Bai Xianglan, not caring about anything else, hurriedly took the great-granddaughter from the nurse’s arms, immediately doting on her.

Soon, Mrs. Zhang Sr. and Mrs. Bai Sr. were both scrambling to take care of the great-granddaughter, while the newly upgraded grandmother Wang Cuihua was busy caring for her daughter and didn’t have much energy to devote to the possible great-granddaughter.

Busy all night, it wasn’t until daybreak that everyone returned home.

Lin Xue was wrapped in blankets and was carried home by Zhang Yuan.

The couple insisted on returning to their own home, not staying with her family, nor going to the grandparents’ house for her confinement period.

Once home, Wang Cuihua busied herself making confinement meals for her daughter, and the two housekeepers were bustling around, making quite a lively scene.

Lin Xue, a bit exhausted, fell asleep, while Zhang Yuan didn’t rest for a moment, taking care of her by her side.

The little baby slept quietly next to her mother, not making any fuss, and the four girls, now upgraded to aunts, busily washed diapers for the niece, made new clothes, boiled water for her bath, and various other tasks.

The entire family was practically gathered around Lin Xue, bustling about. When there was nothing left to do, they just watched the little baby.

On Zhang Haijun’s end, he was taken to the hospital by Zhang Yu, where it was confirmed that he had no serious injuries, just superficial wounds with large bruises.

On the way, he cursed under his breath, saying he wanted to go back for revenge, but Zhang Yu’s single comment extinguished all his thoughts.

"If you keep making trouble, Mom will have even less chance of getting out. Even if she does, she’ll end up truly mentally ill!"

"You beast!" Zhang Haijun cursed at Zhang Yu, refusing his help with a curse, stumbling back home with Zhang Yang.

Ultimately, he didn’t dare to cause trouble. Not only was that family good with their hands, but even Mr. Zhang would not let him stir up trouble. He thought it best to obediently return home and come up with another plan.

The harsh confinement period took a toll on Lin Xue, driving her to her limits—this she couldn’t eat, that she couldn’t eat, and she couldn’t even bathe or wash her hair or brush her teeth.

Being watched closely, the room was never empty day or night, making it impossible for her to sneak into the secret space to bathe.

This time, even Zhang Yuan didn’t side with her, keeping a close watch and not letting her mess around.

A month’s time left her gaunt and haggard; her hair was unkempt, face unwashed, and she spent her time either eating, sleeping, or nursing the child.

"Wife, Grandma said just now that you still can’t bathe today! You have to wait until the forty-second day!" Zhang Yuan said upon returning, having gone next door to fetch food.

"What did you say? Today is my full month! How can they treat me like this?" Lin Xue was already at her wits’ end; although it was winter and she didn’t sweat, suddenly being unable to bathe for a month was an unimaginable experience for someone who bathed daily.

"Grandma said it! Wife... just bear with it a little longer..."

"I can’t bear it, it’s not scientific, you know? Anyway, I must bathe. Don’t interfere! If you don’t cover for me, you’re dead!" Lin Xue laid down her trump card, "If you don’t stand with our daughter and me, I’ll take Linbao into the space, and we won’t come out!" This was her ace in the hole, which Zhang Yuan feared most, as it worked every time.

Their daughter was named Zhang Lin, ’Lin’ taken from her mother’s surname.

"Alright, alright! I’ll watch the baby; you can bathe at night. I’ll say you’re asleep and won’t let them in." Zhang Yuan eventually surrendered.

"That’s better! Now that the month is completed, it’s okay to bathe! Don’t worry!" Lin Xue said smugly.

"Wife, the baby’s full-moon party is set for the day after tomorrow, is that okay?" Zhang Yuan brought up the main matter.

"You decide, honey!" Lin Xue didn’t have any opinion on this; after all, she just wanted to go into the space for a nice bath, then have a meal she desired.

Although she was breastfeeding, she figured one meal wouldn’t affect the baby too much.

The couple then continued chatting about various things, and Zhang Yuan managed to coax his wife to sleep, even though she had been fussing about bathing.

Time flew by, and three years passed in the blink of an eye. Little Linbao was already three years old, playing every day with Grandma and Great-grandma, with the younger aunt and uncle coming back after school to play with her, too.

She would also go visit the great-grandparents; to everyone, she was a treasure, flitting back and forth among them every day.

It’s just that Daddy and Mommy never had time to be with her, only at night when they’d return to accompany her to sleep.

"Linbao, you can’t pour water by yourself! Grandma will do it for you!" Wang Cuihua hurried over as she saw the little one clambering onto the coffee table to pour water.

"Grandma... Linbao can pour water herself already! Can you not help, please?" Little Linbao replied in baby talk, gripping the cup tightly, refusing to let her pour, "Mom said, I must do my own things, so I can go to school like Mom!"

"What school could a little tot like you go to? Isn’t it nice playing with Grandma?" Wang Cuihua laughed, looking at the adorable little granddaughter holding the cup, and couldn’t resist scooping her up.

"Grandma, don’t hug! Linbao is a big child now! You can’t let Grandma and Great-grandma hug! That’s what Great-grandfather says when Great-grandmother wants to hug!" Zhang Lin, with her cute appearance that took the best from her parents, was irresistible to Wang Cuihua.

"Great-grandmother is sick, so she can’t hug Linbao! But Grandma can hug Linbao!" Wang Cuihua took her cup, poured water for her, then picked her up, "Let’s go see Great-grandmother with Grandma!"

"Yay yay yay! Going to see Great-grandmother!" Little Linbao cheered, bouncing in Wang Cuihua’s arms.

Because Wang Cuihua was trusted with caring for the child, and if the others took care, the nanny had to step in, everyone decided to have the child stay with Wang Cuihua. Their home was nearby, so they could see the child every night, which was ideal.

Bai Xianglan was strong and healthy, but in contrast, Mrs. Zhang Sr. was often sick, bedridden more than not; if she wanted to hold the baby, Mr. Zhang would stop her, fearing she might drop the child, a fact little Linbao understood: Great-grandma couldn’t hold the baby.

Wang Cuihua took Linbao over to visit every day, and thankfully, Mr. Zhang arranged a car and driver for the great-granddaughter to go back and forth every day, ensuring everywhere she went was via the driver.

It was safer this way; if Mr. Zhang hadn’t arranged it, Lin Xue would have.

After Linbao got home, she waited at the door for her little aunt and uncle to return from school.

Once the two came back, they’d play with her, taking her for treats.
