Rebirth in the 50s: The Couple with the Hidden Space novel Chapter 1172

Chapter 1172: Chapter 1045: I’m Wondering What It Means to Be Husband and Wife

Zhang the Second soon felt that his outlook on life was completely overturned.

"I’m just taking the college entrance exam, not abandoning my husband and child. How can you all not trust me?"

Zhang the Second glanced at his mother-in-law who was throwing a fit on the ground, then looked at the only promising nephew from the Lin Family, who was furrowing his brow in contemplation.

Sigh... No matter how you look at it, it’s distressing!

This brat is really good-looking and resembles his own wife the most. But why hasn’t he got any of his wife’s brains? He wasted his relief in the Lin Family finally having a sensible person.

"Uncle, Aunt, you judge, if I manage to pass, won’t I have a job in the future and provide an income for the family?"

Zhang the Second sternly looked at his niece-in-law, "If I really don’t let you take the exam, what then? Don’t forget what you said when you first came to our family."

What did she say?

Wasn’t it that she gave up on going back to the city, because Lin Gang looked good? But who knew now the opportunity came, she wanted to return to the city and no longer wanted to face the dirt and toil.

Mrs. Lin, upon hearing her son-in-law’s words, thought he also disagreed, quickly sprang up from the ground, "That’s right, if I really don’t let you take the exam, what can you do!"

Zhang the Second didn’t bother to deal with his mother-in-law, she was just a troublemaker! He can’t knowingly break the law and oppress someone not to take the college entrance exam over this trivial matter.

He kicked Lin Gang.

Lin Gang immediately snapped back to reality, turned his head to look at his obviously unhappy uncle, shivered, "Uncle..."

"How do you plan to handle it?"

Before Lin Gang could answer, Mrs. Lin shouted: "Handle what? You can’t take the exam, you can’t! Take the exam and this wife will be gone. Didn’t see her parents even kept the letter from her hidden from the family..."

Zhang the Second impatiently furrowed his brows at her, instantly making her reluctantly shut her mouth.

"Let her take the exam!"

"Then why are you showing this ghostly expression?" Lin Juhua, who had been silently sitting, glared at her nephew annoyed.

Lin Gang shrugged with a bitter smile, "I’m wondering what it means to be a couple?"

"Gang?"

"Grandma, if you really care about me, then let her take the exam. You never liked her anyway. Just let her go if she wants to. What’s the use of having a wife who can’t be stayed?"

"But hasn’t she already had a child... I’m not against her, nor did I force her to work..."

"Gang..."

Lin Gang glanced at his wife, pulled Zhang the Second, "Uncle, come with me for a walk."

Zhang the Second looked at him approvingly, walked out of the yard together following his lead.

As a man, he must not be feeling happy right now, seeing this, he didn’t say much, walked leisurely alongside Lin Gang.

"Uncle, when you first worked in the city, did you ever think that my aunt wasn’t good enough for you?"

Zhang the Second glanced at him, "You brat, don’t compare every woman to your aunt."

Lin Gang wasn’t angered by this, instead, he burst into joyful laughter, "Uncle, do you know the thing I admire most about you? It’s this, you’re man enough!"

As he spoke, he sighed again, "I always envied Shi Tou when I was a kid, those years studying in the city and living at your place, I wished I was your own son."

"No scolding, no crying, the family gathered together to eat, a joke from you, a laugh from me. At that time, I thought I must find someone I truly love and be as happy as this..."

"...When I married her, Shi Tou once advised me to delay making a decision. He said that even the worst-off city folk deep down would rather squeeze a dozen family members into a tiny twenty-square-meter apartment..."

Lin Gang’s couple resolved their issues through communication, but that didn’t mean hundreds of thousands of other couples can withstand the test.

Zhang the Second still didn’t know at this moment, he was too worried to immediately visit his elder brother and sister’s home upon returning to the county town, paying special attention to those niece-in-laws.

Lin Juhua saw him rushing out without even stopping at their own gate, she knew his thoughts, when he came back she complained: "Why are you so anxious?"

"You don’t understand!"

"Yes, I don’t understand, but did you notice if their couple turned against each other?"

Zhang the Second smiled reassuringly, "Our kids in Old Zhang’s family are sharp, each one is top-notch, naturally, we don’t have those petty matters."

Lin Juhua looked at him with disdain, lowered her head, and used chopsticks to pick a piece of food for him.

"What’s wrong? Not convinced?"

"Top-notch? Haha... Maybe in the county town, maybe in the provincial city, or nationwide? Isn’t the situation obvious? Even if you find them someone again, can they find a family with a high-ranking official uncle and aunt?"

Zhang the Second was choked by her words, glaring at her hatefully.

Lin Juhua smiled indifferently, continued picking food for him, slowly said: "Didn’t you see that niece-in-laws were all holding books when you went over?"

Zhang the Second looked speechlessly at his wife, lowered his head and took a firm bite. This silly woman, what’s with seeing through but not pointing it out!

"Even mom is smarter than you! Do you know what mom said?"

Zhang the Second took another fierce bite of his meal, thinking and then defiantly picked strips of meat from the plate and stuffed it into his mouth. This dead woman is showing off again!

"Mom said, with Xiao Wu around! See, she’s clearer on it than you." Lin Juhua said, frowned at him, "What you should be most worried about now is where these kids are going to take the exam."

Zhang the Second paused with the chopsticks in hand, "I’ve secretly written a letter to Xiao Wu already, he gets it."
