Rebirth in the 50s: The Couple with the Hidden Space-Chapter 438 - 332: Exposing the Nanny

When Zhang Guoqing arrived, the Chen Family had just returned home with the couple and kids. In the kitchen, as Huang Juan was about to start cooking, she heard Zhang Guoqing’s voice and quickly responded.

She came out to see Old Chen and the two kids had already opened a box of pastries and were eating.

She walked over and patted her little daughter, smiling, "Why did you bring so much? Did you keep some at home?" Just as she finished speaking, the child stuffed a piece of Osmanthus Cake into her mouth.

Zhang Guoqing raised a black bag and laughed, "These aren’t for you. The elderly ladies in the front yards are quite enthusiastic, so I have to let them taste. I’m heading out, come over tonight to hang out." After finishing, he waved and left.

"That kid runs really fast! He must have run to the South to play this time. I was hoping to ask how things are outside nowadays." Old Chen said anxiously as he swallowed.

Huang Juan gave him a sidelong glance, "You can talk about whatever you want tonight. Xiao Wu is very busy right now. If you finish this box, won’t you skip dinner? Save some for your grandpa and grandma."

Zhang Guoqing went out and delivered gifts to the Wang Family first, then continued to deliver them to the few households in the front yard. He didn’t know who had sent things, so he didn’t want to miss anyone. Fortunately, there were only a few families ahead. Finally, he stopped by Aunt Wang’s house to visit, and made a plan for Meili to discuss things at their home later that night.

After a loop around, he returned to find Zhao Yuanyuan already at his place.

She was secretly whispering with Zhou Jiao about something, which they quickly stopped when Zhang Guoqing entered.

Zhou Jiao invited her to stay for lunch at their house.

After lunch, the three moved to the bedroom, and Zhao Yuanyuan couldn’t resist saying, "Xiao Wu, Aunt Fen will return home in a few days. You shouldn’t keep her. Please don’t blame me for meddling this time!"

Upon hearing this, Zhang Guoqing looked towards Zhou Jiao. With these few scattered words, he couldn’t make sense of them.

Zhou Jiao looked outside and whispered, "While we were away, Uncle Dashan asked Yuanyuan to come over regularly. Yuanyuan thinks their behavior is somewhat inappropriate. Just as Aunt Fen’s son doesn’t want her suffering here, Uncle Dashan said that once we’re back, he’ll let Aunt Fen return." She finished speaking and blinked at Zhang Guoqing.

With a suppressed chuckle, Zhang Guoqing repeatedly said, "Okay, let’s listen to Yuanyuan! If you don’t like it, then dismiss her. Later, you’ll help Jiao Jiao prepare gifts for her to take back."

With pride, Zhao Yuanyuan raised her chin, saying, "You have no idea how good I am at judging people. That kid is nothing but trouble. I come over every couple of days to monitor, and the things in the warehouse visibly decrease. Do you know what he claimed? He said there wasn’t much to begin with. I went home and complained, making my dad so angry. Later, my dad went to ask how the two of them were doing. The fool said he couldn’t bear to see his mother suffering here. That’s it, my dad laughed in anger and said once you two get back, Aunt Fen can go home to enjoy herself."

Zhou Jiao listened and understood everything clearly. Once they returned home, Aunt Fen never mentioned leaving. Surely she didn’t want to go at all. Immediately, she got up and said, "Yuanyuan, help me figure out what gift would be best to give her to take back."

"Wait a minute. Let me go ask what she likes? My dad even told me to find out properly because he’s buying tickets." With that, Zhao Yuanyuan ran outside.

Seeing this, the couple breathed a sigh of relief. Since Zhao Dashan actively suggested Aunt Fen’s departure, it was the best outcome.

Zhang Guoqing gestured to Zhou Jiao to stay silent, while he himself crawled to the window to listen for any movement outside. From afar, he heard Zhao Yuanyuan noisily talking, but couldn’t hear Aunt Fen’s response.

After a while, Zhang Guoqing quickly climbed back onto the kang bed, whispered, "Unwilling to leave, she’s coming over!" Then he seriously pretended to read a book.

Zhou Jiao concentrated, sure enough, she heard footsteps approaching, coming their way.

Aunt Fen came in and immediately approached the kang bed, saying to Zhou Jiao, "Jiao Jiao, I’m reluctant to leave Ping’an. If I go, what will you two do?"

Following her, Zhao Yuanyuan entered and, upon hearing Aunt Fen’s words, widened her eyes and pointed at Aunt Fen, vigorously shaking her head towards Zhou Jiao.

Zhou Jiao couldn’t help but laugh seeing this, "Thank you, Aunt Fen. We’ll be fine. My mother-in-law said Xiao Wu’s nephews have all grown up and are coming over to help take care of the kids. Once they arrive, things will be much easier for us."

Zhang Guoqing chimed in beside, "Jiao Jiao, pack some things for Aunt Fen to take back. She worked hard coming over, so this afternoon you and Yuanyuan should accompany Aunt Fen to see what she likes and buy some for her to take back."

Seeing Zhang Guoqing saying so, Aunt Fen disappointedly shook her head and said, "Don’t waste it. If there are any extras at home, just give me some. No need to go shopping; there’s nothing worthwhile on the streets, household items are better."
