Reincarnation in the 60s: My Spatial Supermarket Brings Forth Wealth-Chapter 286: Nobody Asked for Your Opinion

Zhang Ting is already a nineteen-year-old young woman and quite attractive. She’s tall and graceful, which is acceptable. Because she spent two years as a sent-down youth, she hasn’t had a boyfriend yet. Her personality takes after her mother, Lin Cuifen, skilled in calculation.

Seeing her mother with an unpleasant look, she quickly smiled sweetly and walked over, squeezing in to sit next to the elderly lady.

"Grandma, Tingting misses you and Grandpa so much. The transportation in the countryside is inconvenient; even writing a letter takes a long time and might get lost on the way. Tingting can’t frequently contact the family. Are you and Grandpa well?" Her voice was gentle and pleasing, combined with an intentionally displayed well-behaved and sensible demeanor, which lowered the elderly lady’s guard.

After all, she’s her biological granddaughter. Although because of her mother, there wasn’t much closeness to this only granddaughter, deep down, there was still affection.

"It’s good to get some exercise, also a good thing! Now that you’re back, you don’t have to go again, right?" The elderly lady put down the jade bracelet in her hand, patted Zhang Ting’s hand, and asked.

"No, I don’t have to go back! Grandma, from now on, Tingting can often be by your side!" Zhang Ting cozily rested her head on the elderly lady’s shoulder, hugging her arm playfully.

"Big brother, when did you come back?" Zhang Yu walked over, reaching out to greet Zhang Yuan.

"Just got back today!" Zhang Yuan slapped his hand lightly in greeting.

Zhang Yu is already seventeen years old and in high school, while the youngest, Zhang Yang, is fifteen and in his third year of middle school. He should have been in high school, and Zhang Yu should have graduated by now. But both brothers dropped out for two years, later returning to school because they had to go to the countryside as sent-down youths.

After all the greetings, the two brothers found a place to sit, and Lin Cuifen couldn’t help but speak up.

"Mom, what are you doing? Why are you taking out all these good things?" Lin Cuifen couldn’t help but cautiously ask.

The elderly lady was in a good mood, so she didn’t show much displeasure and responded kindly.

"I’m picking out a betrothal gift for Xiao Yuan!"

After saying this, her face immediately broke into a smile, looking at Zhang Yuan, satisfied in every way.

"A betrothal gift? Mom, is Xiao Yuan going to get married?" Lin Cuifen’s first thought was how could these good things end up with Zhang Yuan? But she still asked a concerned question.

"Hmph... As parents, you are the last to know about your son’s marriage! Is this reasonable?" The elderly lady immediately changed her expression, growing angrier the more she thought about it, her face losing its rare amiable look.

"We... it’s just that... Xiao Yuan doesn’t come to us! We have no idea where he is or what he’s doing! How are we supposed to know!" Lin Cuifen felt very aggrieved when mentioning this, pursing her lips with a somewhat unpleasant expression.

"Step aside! This is my eldest grandson’s wedding, and I, the old lady, can handle it without needing you!" The elderly lady waved her hand, going back to selecting the betrothal gifts.

What did my eldest grandson say just now? Bracelets are okay, right? That’s easy to handle. Just send all the gold bracelets, silver bracelets, gold-plated jade, and pure jade ones; as long as they’re bracelets, send them over. The granddaughter-in-law will like them.

The elderly lady thought to herself, her hands not stopping as she picked out precious antique-level bracelets and placed them in the box prepared by Kang Chunmei.

"Xiao Yuan, are you going to marry that country girl?" Zhang Haijun, after understanding, asked Zhang Yuan directly with some displeasure.

"Yes!" Zhang Yuan only gave a definitive answer, as what his dad said wasn’t wrong; his wife indeed came from the countryside, with nothing worth correcting.

"Nonsense!" Zhang Haijun lost his cool upon hearing this, standing up with a snap, pointing at Zhang Yuan, and firing off, "You’ve never listened to me, your father, and that’s fine. With your grandparents teaching and advising you, I felt assured. But marriage is a big deal, and you don’t listen to me, insisting on marrying a country girl? I’ve seen that girl; besides being passably good-looking, I don’t see where she... "

"Shut up!"

Zhang Haijun jabbered on, mentioning Lin Xue, but the old man couldn’t listen anymore. His eldest granddaughter-in-law was perfect in every way, now a high school student, formerly a factory director, leading her family through hard times, knowing many things, educated, and good at cooking. What’s not good?

"Dad, you still protect him even now. Look at the mess he’s caused, isn’t it ridiculous?" Zhang Haijun did not yield under his father’s interference, grumbling stubbornly.

Before the old man could say anything, the elderly lady couldn’t help but speak.

"Speaking of ridiculous, our Xiao Yuan can’t compare to his father!" The elderly lady cast a disparaging glance at Lin Cuifen.

Lin Cuifen felt wronged; she was caught in the crossfire. Her bag of calculations hadn’t been used yet, and she was already glared at. How to speak later?

"Mom, are you like this too? I don’t care how you’ve protected this brat before, but I disagree with this!" Zhang Haijun sat down with a face black as thunder, "At first, when this brat took matters into his own hands and got engaged to that country girl, breaking off the Gao family’s marriage, I didn’t approve. Now he actually wants to marry that country girl; it’s absurd, no way, absolutely not!" He waved his hand vigorously, a stance of absolute disapproval.

Zhang Yuan, calmly and collectedly, said, "I never intended to get your opinion in the first place!"

With that one statement, the whole room was shocked. Although the old couple knew the eldest grandson had significant grievances with his father, he never openly retorted like this before, at most remaining silent and not listening. 𝒇𝒓𝒆𝒆𝙬𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝒎

Today, he directly spoke up, not giving any face.

"You little bastard, what did you just say? Say it again!" Zhang Haijun was furious, blurting out harsh words, even calling him a little bastard.

Bang... The sound of a porcelain falling to the ground pulled everyone back to reality. The old man threw the small teacup he was playing with in his hand, the sharp sound of the porcelain hitting the ground brought Zhang Haijun back to his senses.

The scene of him cursing his son as a bastard replayed in his mind, and now he panicked, thoroughly panicked, hurriedly explaining,

"No, Dad, I was really angered and didn’t react in time! I was wrong!" He quickly confessed to his dad and then began to argue, "That country girl, you can date her but not really marry her! What help could she be to you? A wild country girl, knows nothing, our family is from high society, does she understand high society etiquette? Don’t embarrass your grandparents!"

Zhang Haijun earnestly tried to persuade his son.

However, looking at it from another angle, it’s understandable. Zhang Haijun also meant well for his son, but he misguidedly used the wrong means and effort.

"Maybe you’re casual about relationships. Otherwise, my three younger siblings wouldn’t be here, but!" Zhang Yuan sneered contemptuously, then said word by word, "I won’t! I won’t ever be a betrayer of feelings! Nor engaged in affairs while my wife is pregnant!"

The words were straightforward; he couldn’t be bothered to beat around the bush with his father any longer, directly making his point.

This left Zhang Haijun and his wife looking extremely embarrassed.
