Rebirth in the 50s: The Couple with the Hidden Space-Chapter 665 - 540: Resolute Intervention

Li Jianjun didn’t want to hear those harsh words from his wife’s mouth. He had seen that woman many times; such a talented and beautiful woman didn’t need to seduce anyone. With just a wave, someone would marry her. Why bother?

"I think she’s quite beautiful. A beautiful widow often invites trouble. Maybe she has a sense of responsibility and has been misunderstood by you all."

"You think she’s beautiful? I think she’s very ordinary. Her features are at most delicate; she’s just fair-skinned. Back when her husband was alive, he always bragged about how beautiful his wife was. You men really are blind."

Li Jianjun chuckled softly.

Could he say there’s a type of woman in this world who naturally attracts the opposite sex, and any man who sees her would be moved? No, he couldn’t, or else there would be no sleep tonight.

He knew that every time his buddies went to the hospital, they would find this doctor, knowing her allure. How could she not be beautiful? Not to mention the unique temperament in her actions, her fair, delicate skin was rare. It was also because she was self-respecting and self-loving; otherwise, she would have been taken long ago.

Would such a rare beauty need to seduce others? So many rumors are far from the truth. It might be more likely that the men were making excuses to keep her around.

"Why are you laughing? You men truly have poor judgment. I am speaking based on evidence. You think my brother-in-law is handsome, right? And my sister? But look at him with my sister; he’s a good..."

As she spoke, Lin Liyin thought about the changes her elder sister might be facing, and she sighed with a low, reflective tone, "I wonder if this goodness can last?"

Li Jianjun, not noticing her unusual tone, laughed and said, "Do you even need to say that? Brother-in-law cherishes Jiao Jiao so much; he wouldn’t treat your elder sister poorly just to keep a complete home for his daughter."

"Really?"

Li Jianjun confidently replied, "Of course. A child is the bond that holds a couple’s family together. People who cherish their children will tolerate each other. Look at how many women won’t divorce despite enduring their husband’s abuse for the sake of their children."

Lin Liyin was silent for a moment and said, "I... I heard my sister-in-law say a few days ago that a woman went to the Women’s Federation, unwilling to divorce, asking for help. But when they investigated, they found out that the woman had been married to her in-laws for several years and only had a daughter..."

At first, Li Jianjun didn’t pay much attention, but the more he listened, the more he felt something was off. In the dark night, he felt his wife’s words were unusually cautious and tense.

"...Her husband inadvertently discovered that her mother-in-law had been giving his wife sterilization drugs, thinking this family was making him heirless and insisting on divorce. Do you think this man should leave his wife?"

Li Jianjun recalled from the beginning, ... "I wonder if this goodness can last?"... That’s right, why did his wife think this way?

And this time, even when feverish, she didn’t want to be hospitalized and ran straight to the Big Courtyard. His brother-in-law Zhou Xiaozheng only had Jiao Jiao, and her eldest sister hadn’t conceived in years.

His mother-in-law even confiscated money from the deceased and refused to return it, knowing he was the son of an enemy, so what else wouldn’t she do?

...

Thinking of this, Li Jianjun was so frightened that he immediately jumped off the bed, turned on the light, and stared intently into his wife’s eyes. He whispered, leaning close to her, "Did your mother really do this? Is she crazy?"

Lin Liyin hadn’t expected her husband to guess correctly and anxiously waved her hands.

Li Jianjun furrowed his brow deeply, "Don’t deny it! Your sister-in-law has been driven crazy by her brat. How would she have the mind to chat with you about others? Did you get that high fever because of this? Don’t say I didn’t warn you; one wrong move on this matter could involve you. Tell me the truth: where did you hear about this?"

Startled by his serious expression and thinking about the pressure she’d been under these past few days, Lin Liyin broke into tears, covering her mouth.

Li Jianjun’s heart sank; his guess was confirmed.

He gritted his teeth and said, "Don’t be afraid. Regardless of the person’s intentions in telling you, you still have your husband. Stop crying and tell me what exactly happened. These bastards daring to target my wife, I’ve remembered this grudge."

Wiping her tears, Lin Liyin recounted in detail how Zhou Xiaocun from Old Zhou Family visited and Mrs. Lin’s intentions today.

For now, she didn’t care about losing face in front of her husband. This matter involved herself, and she couldn’t afford to let it potentially impact her husband and children.

Relieved but speechless, Li Jianjun realized that this had nothing to do with his family. Knowing that old woman wasn’t a good person, why still act as an intermediary?

However, he didn’t scold his wife, as it concerned her mother. In any case, these divine beings fought, better for ordinary folks like them to stay clear.

Li Jianjun immediately decided, "Tomorrow, I’ll take a leave and take you back to the countryside for a few days, and come back once you’ve recovered. Luckily, the son is with their aunt. Don’t blame me for being heartless and leaving it alone. I dare not interfere, nor will I tip off brother-in-law. Whatever the consequences, let fate decide."

"What if, after I leave, someone really brings out the evidence and makes it public?"

Li Jianjun looked at her intently, "Let me be blunt. If your mom dared to do this, she should be punished. I won’t help, nor will I let you help; how is that different from being an accomplice?

I’m not notifying brother-in-law not to cover for your mom but because I can’t bring myself to say it. How would I say, that our dear mother-in-law wanted to cut off your lineage, and even Jiao Jiao was nearly lost? Oh, should he thank Old Zhou Family for not killing everyone?

Xiao Ying, I will definitely take you away tomorrow. Don’t fool yourself that your mom cares that much. If I were your mom’s enemy, you’d be sacrificed too."

That night, after Li Jianjun spoke, Lin Liyin remained silent, neither refusing nor accepting, but he had decided not to let her get involved.

Before dawn, he woke his younger sister to ensure she watched over his wife, then went to apply for leave. As soon as he returned, he took Lin Liyin, and the couple, with their belongings, headed back to their hometown.
