Rebirth in the 60s: A Path to Counterattack-Chapter 114. Shared views of the wife-slave
Chapter 114: 114. Shared views of the wife-slave
Early the next morning, just as the sky was beginning to lighten, there was a loud knocking at the Lian family’s door.
Lianshan hurried out with his clothes haphazardly thrown on, thinking something urgent was up, only to see the elderly Grandpa Jiang standing there warmly smiling at him.
Beside him was a 212 Jeep that Lianshan had only seen from afar when taking his nephew for medical treatment in the provincial city. Both the car doors were wide open, and a young man and woman in uniform were busy unloading things from the vehicle.
"Uncle Jiang, what is this?" Lianshan was puzzled. Didn’t he hear that Grandpa Jiang’s case had been a miscarriage of justice, and that it had been overturned and he had been taken back to the city by his granddaughter and grandson-in-law to enjoy the good life?
So who could tell him what exactly was going on here!
As soon as Lianshan stepped out, Jiang Limin and his wife paused their unloading. They both stepped forward simultaneously, standing at attention to salute Lianshan. Realizing that they might have overdone it seeing Lianshan’s somewhat flustered demeanor, they switched to deep bows: "Comrade Lianshan, we are Grandpa Jiang’s grandson-in-law and granddaughter. I am Jiang Limin, and this is my wife Jiang Shengnan. We came here today specifically to thank you, your wife, and your elder sister and her husband, as well as your brother, for your selfless help to our grandfather.
A life-saving grace is greater than the sky, far beyond what these things can express even a fraction of.
These are just a small token of our gratitude from my wife and me.
Please, Comrade Lianshan, kindly accept them..."
"Oh no, no, what are you doing? There was no life-saving favor or anything. It’s just that we siblings happened to have a connection with Uncle Jiang. It so happened that on the day we borrowed a ride to pick up people, my wife and sister went to the city for prenatal exams. My brother was afraid those pregnant women would catch cold, hence we got that tent and some quilts, and had some aspirin and penicillin on hand from the hospital.
Just fearing that in this cold weather, the kids at home might have colds and fevers and couldn’t see a doctor in time.
So it was all a coincidence, Uncle Jiang and the others must have their own... oh no, I mean, it’s just how good things happen to good people.
I’m just a crude fellow, can’t say anything pleasing, but these things we really can’t accept." In the cold weather, only wearing a padded jacket, Lianshan was shivering, yet his tone of refusal was firm.
The three of them had searched throughout the city to select these gifts, considering the financial conditions and needs of the three siblings of the Lian family.
A lot of thought was put into it, and they sincerely picked out a carload of gifts, not to be swayed by a few words of refusal.
The couple sincerely wanted to give, Lianshan was firm in his refusal, and Grandpa Jiang was eagerly persuading on the side, and the few of them were at an impasse at the door for quite a while.
Meanwhile, Shuzhen had already gotten up from bed, dressed, made the bed, tidied herself up a bit, and was walking out.
Originally hearing vaguely in the room that the Jiang family’s grandfather and grandchildren came to give thanks, Shuzhen was slightly pleased to see such an opportunity come her way.
But upon stepping out and seeing her silly man standing out there in just his thermal wear and padded jacket, talking with the three of them in the cold wind, Shuzhen’s pretty face immediately fell like a door curtain: "Early in the morning, jumping out without even wearing clothes properly, are you afraid the fever and anti-inflammatory medicines at home will expire, thinking about taking them quickly, is it?"
"No, no, wife, don’t be angry, I’ll go inside and put on some clothes right away, I promise not to catch a cold and make you worry." Left with no temper after being glared at, Lianshan quickly raised his hands in surrender, and rushed inside to change clothes.
Indeed, pleasing the wife is one thing, and besides, the winter is no time for showing off, it’s truly freezing!
Seeing this immediate surrender at a mere glance, with everything being done according to the wife’s wishes, made Jiang Limin chuckle, feeling he found a kindred spirit, his eyes involuntarily lit up.
Thinking it was another joke about being henpecked, Shuzhen frowned and asked coldly, "Is it that funny?"
"No, Mr. Liu, please don’t misunderstand. It’s just that seeing Comrade Lianshan being tall and strong like me, loving and caring, unwilling to let his wife be upset just like me. With just one cold look, all ideas vanish, and everything is done according to the wife’s opinion. An unequivocal good husband who doesn’t fear others’ opinions.
It’s rare to meet someone of the same thinking, this is truly joy from the heart, not a trace of ridicule or mockery." Jiang Limin solemnly declared, making Shuzhen blush. Jiang Shengnan, who received this indirect declaration of love, blushed and pinched him hard, scolding him for spouting nonsense. freewebnσvel.cѳm
Lianshan, who had quickly changed his clothing, laughed heartily at this, "If you think like Jiang Comrade, that’s right. A real man is one who can protect his wife and raise his children. That’s something to be proud of, to be looked up to no matter where you go. Those who are incapable with others, only knowing to bully women, are the ones who should self-reflect!"
Subsequently, Shuzhen, Grandpa Jiang, and Jiang Shengnan watched in disbelief as the two men genuinely acted like friends who had met too late.
From polite ’Comrade Lianshan’ and ’Comrade Jiang’ to ’Brother Lianshan’, ’Brother Jiang’, they quickly closed the gap in just a few sentences. In no time, Grandpa Jiang was elevated a generation, becoming ’Grandpa Jiang’.
Originally not intending to accept gifts and not planning to let them in, now Lianshan was requesting Shuzhen to kill a little rooster so his Brother Jiang could taste the deliciousness of chicken stewed with mushrooms.
"There’s nothing I can do, my Lianshan is straightforward and sincere, just easily convinced. If he considers someone as family, he will do anything to treat them well, almost wishing he could give his heart to them." Shuzhen spread her hands, ostensibly helplessly smiling. But how could her tone and expression all carry a trace of: my man is simple and easy to fool, but I’m no pushover. If anyone dares to bully him, I’ll fight them fiercely, and decisively.
Jiang Shengnan tucked the stray hair in front of her forehead, eyes smiling, sincerely extended her right hand to Shuzhen: "It’s alright, ours is also slow to make friends and gives one’s heart when he does. Shuzhen sister, rest assured, just because you saved our grandpa, the most important relative to us in this world, neither I nor Limin could ever harm you, whether intentionally or accidentally.
Of course, if possible, I still hope we often visit each other, and one day become confidants and friends."
Perhaps it was that sincere attitude that caught her eye, perhaps it was the straightforward, warm family-oriented personality that touched her heart. Shuzhen also extended her right hand to shake with Jiang Shengnan’s, thereby beginning a friendship that would last for half a century.
