Rebirth in the 50s: The Couple with the Hidden Space-Chapter 710 - 585: Mrs. Hu Arrives

Lin Aiguo quietly watched as Mrs. Hu walked towards him, step by step, "What do you want?"

Mrs. Hu looked at him with an apologetic face, "I have two matters for which I wish to apologize, and to use this opportunity to clear up some misunderstandings."

"There’s no need! Just don’t appear in front of me in the future, I don’t need any apologies from you."

Mrs. Hu looked at the Lin Family gathering around and muttered to herself, "You must think I caused your family’s old lady to have a stroke, right? That’s why even my grandson isn’t liked by you. Today, here in front of the deceased, I dare say I didn’t cause her stroke."

Jiang Jiangyu retorted angrily, "Are you here to make trouble? Who gave you the guts? Do you really think the Lin Family is easy to bully?"

Mrs. Hu gently shook her head, "Child, don’t get angry. It’s better to resolve enmity than keep it. Since the two children are married, we’re also in-laws. I just wanted to come and clear things up to avoid the children being wronged. Don’t misunderstand, I have no intention of taking advantage, I’ve already arranged for them to leave the day after tomorrow."

Lin Aiguo waved his hand, "Go to the lounge first, don’t disturb the peace of the mourning hall."

"That’s fine. You can go pay your respects to the old lady, and we’ll leave after explaining." Mrs. Hu finished speaking, released the hands of Lin Xuelin and her husband, and followed Lin Aiguo into the lounge with small steps.

Lin Aiguo dismissed the younger generation and glanced at Jiang Jiangyu, who followed with an angry face, shaking his head helplessly. What a headache!

After taking the main seat, facing Mrs. Hu, he said, "I’m worried about disturbing my mother in the mourning hall, not interested in hearing explanations. I know your intentions clearly. Once a daughter is married, she’s like water spilled out; if anything happens to her, she must handle it herself. Our two families have nothing to discuss."

Mrs. Hu nodded after hearing, "Don’t worry, I know the gap between our families is too large; later, our family won’t visit. Xiao Lin is a good child, my eldest grandson being able to marry her is a blessing for the Hu Family. I really have no other intentions by coming, just afraid you misunderstood what happened that day, causing the child to be tied to this old bag of bones."

Lin Liyin pursed her lips aside. Talk is easier than action! Does she really think others can’t see through her intentions? Even if she wants to go roundabout to achieve her goals, she should have some skills.

Chen Jingru looked cautiously at her husband. She was worried that since their daughter didn’t grow up with him, he might ignore her. Her feelings were very conflicted, filled with both hope and disappointment.

She only has these one boy and one girl in her life. When her daughter acts foolish, it hurts her more than anyone else. She hoped that after this incident, when the child returns to the Northwest, she would completely repent.

If... if... she still doesn’t repent, then... then let her stay in the Northwest for a lifetime. But now is truly not the time to give up, how could a child without her maternal family fare? She has seen too many tragic endings in the Women’s Federation over the years.

Mrs. Hu leaned back on the chair, her expression carrying reminiscence, and began to speak slowly, "This matter has been weighing on my heart. I wanted to come to your house to clear things up earlier, but later I was worried you’d misunderstand my intentions.

That day, when the eldest lady came to me, she was very agitated and said many unpleasant things. I didn’t take it to heart at the time; I knew her temperament and just let her scold me. But when she said my eldest grandson eloped with her granddaughter, that accusation didn’t sound right. I had no choice but to advise her to let it go. They are a pair that cannot be separated, despite our attempts in the past. Yet who knew, due to unexpected events, they ended up back together.

Upon hearing this, the eldest lady got very angry, persistently forcing me to personally go to the Northwest to bring back my grandson. Seeing her resolute demeanor, I anxiously urged her to understand the children better. Now that they’re already married, it was pointless, the children wouldn’t listen to us elders.

She, with her stubborn nature, got furious seeing me not packing my clothes to leave, threatening that she would have my eldest grandson jailed. At that moment, my heart felt cold. I pleaded with her to think of her past unfulfilled desires, as she herself endured such hardships, how could she bear to let her granddaughter endure the same?

That’s where I went wrong. As soon as I said that, she stood up and swung at my face, but before her hand even touched it, she suddenly collapsed. I was terrified at the time; just a single sentence, who would’ve thought it could be so serious.

In our younger days, I’d been by her side for so many years, we spoke of everything, who would’ve thought she’d get so different in her old age. You all are reasonable people, can you really blame it all on me?" 𝑓𝘳𝘦𝑒𝑤𝑒𝘣𝘯ℴ𝘷𝘦𝓁.𝑐𝑜𝑚

Jiang Jiangyu rolled her eyes, glanced at Lin Aiguo’s darkened expression, and swallowed back her unspoken questions. She was curious about whom her mother-in-law had unfulfilled desires when she was young. Then she noticed that this question intrigued not just herself; her good sister-in-law also seemed hesitant to speak.

Lin Aiguo, with a cold face, snapped, "Enough! We’ve heard enough, it’s getting late, you should leave now. We won’t see you out."

Mrs. Hu slowly stood up, nodding as she said, "Alright. I heard tomorrow is the memorial service, I won’t send off the eldest lady on her last journey. Can Xiao Lin and her husband come tomorrow to pay their respects?"

Lin Aiguo snorted coldly, warning, "Mrs. Hu, did my uncle come to you in a dream? You should go burn some paper money for my grandfather and uncle, stop targeting our family."

Mrs. Hu’s pupils constricted at his words. She didn’t expect this old bug from the Lin Family to know about her past secrets. Truly a futile attempt gone awry.

She clenched her fists tightly, speaking gently to him, "You really misunderstand. I explained what happened; now I must go. The children will leave the day after tomorrow, our Hu Family won’t trouble you again."

Lin Aiguo watched unemotionally as Mrs. Hu briskly walked away with small steps, not stopping her, and said softly behind her back, "Since they are in the Northwest, don’t disturb them and let them live in peace."

Mrs. Hu replied without turning her head.

Everyone in the room watched Mrs. Hu leave, then turned their gaze to Lin Aiguo. Did what was just said really have so many meanings? Shouldn’t there be an explanation?

Lin Liyin: "Big brother?"

Lin Aiguo frowned, "It has nothing to do with our family." He finished speaking and stood up to leave. Some things he didn’t want to tell his younger siblings.

When a person dies, it’s like a lamp going out; if his mom kept remembering the Gu Family and Zhou Jinyu, let them mingle in the underworld. Those of us still alive need to continue living.

Jiang Jiangyu sidled up to Chen Jingru and Lin Liyin, ignoring her sister-in-law’s glare, and quietly asked, "Do you think Mrs. Hu had something going with my uncle? Wasn’t she mom’s personal maid?"

Chen Jingru swiftly grabbed her sister-in-law, who was about to explode, and shook her head at Jiang Jiangyu. She really couldn’t answer that question—who knows what kind of tangled relations these chaotic people have.
