Reborn in the 1980s: Recapture My Devoted Husband-Chapter 908 - 762: Wei Xue’s Troubles (Part 3)

"Got it, got it. Okay, we’re leaving now, go to bed soon."

"Mm-hmm."

At this moment, outside the window, Lin Guozhi heard that his wife was about to come out, so he quickly stepped towards the backyard.

This mother and daughter duo are really naive. Do they think he won’t find out just because they don’t tell him what they’re doing?

All this sudden commotion, Lin Wan found it hard to sleep and only managed to doze off around three or four in the morning. She had planned to go look after Grandma today. After just three hours of sleep, Lin Wan got up and cooked some millet porridge for Grandma. She packed some steamed buns that Mom had made and headed to the hospital.

When Lin Wan arrived, she saw Grandma eating a meal that her cousin-in-law had brought."Cousin-in-law, why are you here too?"

"Rongrong called me early this morning and told me the whole thing about Li Chang going to her house yesterday. Xiao Wan, it’s thanks to you and your dad yesterday."

"It was nothing major. Li Chang is incorrigible; he needs a proper lesson."

"Xiao Wan is right. I wasn’t there yesterday, but if I had been, I would’ve broken one of his legs for sure," Grandma said, sipping her porridge. She felt sorry for and furious on behalf of her granddaughter.

"Don’t worry, Grandma. He won’t have a good end," Lin Wan said confidently. She knew her dad wouldn’t just let it slide.

"It’d be best if he stopped bothering Rongrong. Recently, Rongrong told me that once when Li Chang was broke, he came to her for money. Can you believe it? They’re divorced, yet he still acts like Rongrong is his wife."

"When did this happen? Why didn’t Rongrong tell me?" Grandma hadn’t expected this kind of thing, realizing now that Li Chang had been pestering Rongrong for quite a while.

This kid, she even kept it from them and didn’t let the family know.

Sigh, Rongrong is growing smarter, but she’s too obedient, so much so that it breaks your heart.

"Grandma, don’t worry. Rongrong isn’t foolish. She wouldn’t just give him money for nothing. It’s better now anyway; that scare yesterday probably ensured he won’t come around anymore."

"Hmm, you have a point. Even so, we must remain cautious in the future. Yesterday, Xiao Wan and her family were there. If it weren’t for Xiao Wan’s parents, who knows what he might have done?" Grandma sighed, adding, "Your mother-in-law doesn’t bother with anything now, only thinking of finding Rongrong a well-matched partner. She’s never considered that a good match doesn’t mean a good person. Your father-in-law is busy with the factory and doesn’t pay attention to family matters. Sigh, how did I give birth to such a clueless son?"

"Grandma, don’t get upset. My mother-in-law can’t decide for Rongrong now; Rongrong doesn’t listen to her at all, and Bai Xu and I have never listened to her either."

"Yes, Grandma, you don’t have to worry about anything. Recuperating is what’s important now."

When Lin Wan mentioned recovery, Grandma smiled, "Let me tell you, I can feel when I use the bathroom now. It’s just that there’s still no feeling from my thighs downward."

Lin Wan and Tan Aixiang heard this and smiled happily, "Grandma, that’s great news. If you feel anything else, you mustn’t hide it. It might delay the doctor’s treatment."

Tan Aixiang was about to call the doctor when Grandma quickly stopped her, chuckling, "The doctor knew yesterday. He said this method is working and advised staying a while longer."

Grandma laughed heartily, "Having any sensation is good. It’s better than wetting myself all day long. Sigh, in all these years, I’ve never suffered such embarrassment before."

"It’s all in the past, Grandma. We’ll get better," Lin Wan held Grandma’s hand, smiling and offering encouragement.

Seeing Lin Wan there, the cousin-in-law left around noon.

"Grandma, what would you like for lunch? I’ll go to the cafeteria to have it prepared in advance."

"Why bother? Just eat the food you brought this morning. It’d be a waste to throw it out."

"It’s all cold. You can’t go without hot soup in this chilly weather. Grandma, I’ll get them to stew some ribs for you. Let them simmer a while longer, so it’s tender enough for you to chew."

"Let’s skip that. Just get me some stewed dishes and pot stickers; it’s better than making me eat ribs. These past days, you all have been stewing all kinds of soups for me, but Grandma is tired of it."

The children have been filial, making various soups every day. Xiaoqing normally gets off work early and sometimes comes by to stew soups for her—chicken soup, pigeon soup. She prefers stewed dishes to those soups.

"Alright, Grandma, I’ll check the cafeteria and reheat our morning meal in the meantime."

"Go ahead, don’t make too much; just enough for the two of us."

"Got it, Grandma," Lin Wan said as she picked up the lunchbox from the morning and headed to the hospital cafeteria.

Lin Wan found a less crowded spot, gave the worker five dimes, and had the morning meal reheated.

She then took a separate lunch box to get some stewed dishes.

"Comrade, two pot stickers, please."

"Comrade, two pot stickers."

"Ah, both of you, there are only two left. You see..."

Lin Wan turned to see who spoke simultaneously with her, and at the same time, that person looked at her.

It turned out to be a familiar face.

"You’re..."

"You’re Wei Xue, right?"

"Yes, yes, it’s me, Lin Wan. We’ve met once before, and I’m really thankful to you for that time. Later, I heard about you from Su Ling. I didn’t expect our paths to cross like this. Honestly, if it weren’t for you two, I don’t know where I’d be."

Hearing Wei Xue’s words, Lin Wan raised an eyebrow. She hadn’t expected Wei Xue to know her name, and that Su Ling had such a good relationship with her?

"Is there someone sick at your house?" Wei Xue asked, noticing the food in Lin Wan’s hands.

"Yes, an elder in the family is sick. What about you?"

"Sigh, my mom got injured a bit. To be honest, this has something to do with the Li Family. Do you have some time, Lin?" Wei Xue, although now familiar with Su Ling, found it rare to meet up as both were busy. Seeing Lin Wan was a surprise. Although they’d met only once, she felt more inclined to share her thoughts with Lin Wan and Su Ling than with others.

Lin Wan smiled, agreed, and later sat with Wei Xue in a less crowded area.

"Last time we met briefly, and I didn’t get a chance to catch up with you. But I later met Su Ling. Don’t worry; it was only after we became familiar that she shared some things about you and Ye Qing. It seems we’re kind of fated to meet. I have to say, I really admire you. Su Ling mentioned that the clothing factory is yours."

Lin Wan paused for a moment, then smiled and nodded without denying it.

"Sigh, it wasn’t until after I got to know Su Ling that I realized women can live like this. You see, all of you are living so well now, not relying on men and living more freely than men."

"How’s that? As women, we all need a dependable man by our side. We have those around."

"Yes, that’s exactly what I’m envious of. I’ve had quite a hard life, marrying such a man... Oh, by the way, have you seen that Ye the Bitch recently?"

"Are you talking about Ye Qing? She’s now... my sister-in-law."

"What?" Wei Xue was surprised, and then quickly lowered her voice, "The military officer in Ye Qing’s family is your man’s brother?"

Lin Wan nodded with a smile, pursing her lips.

"I say, your brother is really something. Even after everything with Ye Qing and Li Liang, he hasn’t divorced her yet?"

"Well, that’s why they call her a bitch. Difficult women in general are labeled as such. She’s just that capable," Lin Wan chuckled softly.

Wei Xue nodded in strong agreement, "You’re absolutely right. But a person like her, still living in this world, is simply too good for her. Didn’t you have a feud? Why didn’t you get rid of her?"

Lin Wan raised her eyebrows, looked around at the people nearby, and seeing no one was paying attention, she said quietly, "I’m not an executioner; I can’t just kill someone off."

Only then did Wei Xue realize she had spoken too loudly and apologized, "I just think she’s caused so much harm to so many people that she should’ve been long gone."
