Reborn in the 70s: Pampered by Regiment Commander-Chapter 1226 - 809: Moth-Eaten Rice_2

Without the lure of regaining her position, she wasn’t sure if Jiang Yuesheng would return to her, and in a flash, she felt as if her world was collapsing.

Returning home in a daze, Che Yali threw herself onto the bed and fell asleep.

Jiang Meixiang was reviewing her studies and wasn’t surprised by her mom’s current state. Simply put, her mom was only good at talking. All these years, she hadn’t really held any job, so falling to this point, who could be happy?

After lunch, Che Yali went to the post office again to call Ye Meiru, but got the same answer as in the morning and had to go home again dejectedly.

The third time Che Yali called, a person on the other end asked her to hold on, then an elderly male voice came through the phone: "Hello, I’m Ye Meiru’s grandfather. Who are you? If you have something for her, you can tell me, and I’ll pass it on."

"I... I..." Che Yali stammered and quickly hung up in fear. Even if she were stupid, she’d understand now that Ye Meiru couldn’t save her!

For the first time, this made her truly afraid. If the Zhou family members didn’t value Lin Chuxia, they wouldn’t treat Ye Meiru like this. So what about her... the more she thought, the more scared she felt...

...

Three days later, Chuxia learned about Che Yali’s suicide attempt with sleeping pills. Luckily, she was found early and saved. Chuxia didn’t feel much about it, but Zhao Yulan and Lin Baohe secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Although Che Yali did them wrong, they didn’t want her to lose her life over it.

It happened to be Lin Mengran’s turn on shift, so she quietly said to Chuxia, "Your uncle and aunt are just too kind. People have walked all over them and they still don’t get angry. How do they do it?"

"A habit borne of enduring for a lifetime..." Chuxia glanced at her, "Looks like you quite like this feeling, then endure as well. You’ll get used to it."

"No, no, no, I won’t." Lin Mengran waved her hands repeatedly, "I’m just waiting to see Lin Mengye’s deformed face. Humph, even rabbits bite when agitated, not to mention I inherently have a wolf-like nature."

Chuxia looked at her with exasperation: "You have a wolf-like nature? More like a sheep in wolf’s clothing. Of course, compared to my parents, you’re kind of a wolf-like person."

"Don’t underestimate me. As for me, if you don’t provoke me, then whatever; but if you truly offend me, you’ll know how formidable I can be..." With a cold snort, Lin Mengran’s lips curled into a mocking smile, "My dear sister is still daydreaming. When I ran into her yesterday, she joyfully told me she’s with Zuo Jiang and asked for my blessing."

Chuxia: "..." Regarding this, she truly didn’t know what to say. Showing off like this should be reasonable; lying right in front of the concerned party, isn’t that just asking for trouble?

"I barely held back from telling her I’m actually Zuo Jiang’s official girlfriend now..." Lin Mengran smiled smugly and looked at Chuxia with a face full of flattery, "If you ask me, I’m most grateful to you. Since I met you, I’ve found I’m so lucky."

Chuxia smiled and shook her head, staying silent. Mainly, she found it hard to respond to this statement. Calling herself a goddess of luck seemed too boastful, but saying it had nothing to do with her didn’t seem right either. Truth be told, Lin Mengran did manage to get together with Zuo Jiang thanks to Chuxia’s help.

Zhang Guizhen continued to work at the toy factory, and every time Zhao Yulan and Lin Baohe came by, she would hide away. Though Zhao Yulan and Lin Baohe emphasized that the past was in the past and they’ll act like friends in the future, she felt embarrassed.

However, her son Wang Jianguang was quite interesting. Each time he visited her, he would specifically stop by the Lin Family after dinner to say goodbye before returning to school.

Initially, Zhao Yulan and Lin Baohe were skeptical, but after several occasions, they found him to be a rare good kid—honest yet not dull. His visits were merely an expression of his sincerity, making up for the mistakes his mother had made in the past.

When Chuxia and her family had been in the Capital City for exactly one month and ten days, Sister-in-law Yin finally arrived, coming along with the main force of the Zhou family. Old Master Zhou, Old Madam Zhou, and Lin Yanqiu all came, and naturally, Division Commander Zhou was among them.

When they arrived, Chuxia was still in class, so Zhou Mikang volunteered to pick up his little wife.

After he left, Old Madam Zhou chuckled and said to Zhao Yulan: "Xiaomi definitely went to the school to show off intentionally. Although he doesn’t say it, I can easily guess he’s worried someone might fancy our Chuxia."

Zhao Yulan quickly replied, "Aunt, don’t worry. Our Chuxia knows her limits. She certainly won’t do anything to disgrace the Zhou family."

"What kind of way are you talking?" Old Madam Zhou said disapprovingly, "If I really doubted our little Chuxia, would I be sharing Xiaomi’s thoughts with you like this?

Of course, Xiaomi has no doubt whatsoever about Chuxia; he just doesn’t like other boys having ideas about our Xia. Men’s petty little minds, he lacks none of that."

"Yes, yes, yes..." Zhao Yulan nodded repeatedly, "Aunt is right, but it’s only when a man has this woman in his heart that he pays so much attention. Xiaomi paying so much attention to Chuxia, we can only be happy about it, right Baohe?" 𝘧𝓇ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝘣𝓃ℴ𝓋𝑒𝑙.𝑐𝘰𝑚

"Yes, yes, yes..." Lin Baohe quickly agreed with his wife.

Old Madam Zhou, Old Master Zhou, and Lin Yanqiu all laughed together. This couple—it was clear they were joking, but look at how seriously they took it...(to be continued.
