Rebirth in the 50s: The Couple with the Hidden Space-Chapter 548 - 431: You’re Concerned About the Wrong Person

Different from the last time they came back. This time, during the family reunion, Lin Lishan was no longer willing to manage the day-to-day kitchen duties and the social obligations that gave her headaches.

The next morning, as soon as Zhou Xiaozheng left, she immediately handed over household affairs to Zhou Jiao and rushed to work with excitement. Watching her happy departure, Jiao Jiao could only take on the responsibilities.

Fortunately, the Zhou Family had a simple makeup, which made their interpersonal relationships uncomplicated. With Old Mrs. Cheng’s guidance and Aunt Chen and other staff helping, she managed to take on the role with relative ease.

Afterwards, she was busy daily with caring for the family’s three meals, managing her father’s health, and entertaining family and friends, completely forgetting about the Lin Family’s affair. 𝘧𝘳𝘦ℯ𝓌𝘦𝒷𝘯𝑜𝑣𝘦𝓁.𝒸𝘰𝓂

Meanwhile, Mrs. Lin, who was concerned about her, had been counting the days since learning that Zhou Jiao and her husband truly got into university, eagerly waiting day and night for their return to Beijing.

Upon finally hearing they had returned to the Big Courtyard, she anxiously waited all day without seeing the family visit her, finally losing hope and desperately asking her husband to send someone to bring Zhou Jiao over.

Mr. Lin was well aware. Even if there were a secret remedy, they wouldn’t offer it. Left with no choice by her insistence, he called over his youngest daughter, Lin Liyin.

After work, Lin Liyin, looking weary, rode her bicycle back to her parents’ home.

All the way, she pondered what urgent matter could require the Old Man to personally send someone over. Since the two sisters-in-law moved in, her household had been a chaotic mess.

Finally reaching her parents’ home, Lin Liyin first checked the Old Man’s complexion and breathed a sigh of relief, "Dad, is there anything urgent? Wait a moment, I’ll go see Mom first."

Mr. Lin motioned for her to sit down, "Your mom’s still here. Sit with me for a while."

Once seated, seeing that the Old Man hadn’t spoken, she couldn’t help but ask, "Dad, what’s on your mind? Is it uncomfortable living here? Perhaps you should move back."

The Old Man pointed to the room inside, "Your mom isn’t willing to return to the Big Courtyard; we’ll talk about it after staying here for a while. Are your two sisters-in-law settled?"

Lin Liyin nodded. One is a temporary worker; the other is schooling, nothing much to arrange. She didn’t want her father worrying about their issues; every family has its own difficulties.

"I heard Jiao Jiao and her husband have returned. Have you seen her yet?"

Lin Liyin slapped her forehead in frustration, "I haven’t been to my eldest sister’s house in quite a few days and forgot Jiao Jiao’s report time is nearing. She might really be back early."

The Old Man shot her a look of disdain. Always running around, what’s keeping her so busy?

Lin Liyin cautiously glanced at him, "Dad, when did the couple arrive? Has my eldest sister still not visited? They might be finishing up on things before seeing you."

Mr. Lin chuckled twice, "You said it, they’re coming to see me. Yet, your mom doesn’t realize she’s been excluded by their whole family and is eager to see Jiao Jiao. What’s all this?"

Lin Liyin frowned and whispered, "Is Mom still convinced Jiao Jiao has a secret remedy? Wasn’t the prescription given before said to be from the Huang Family? Where did she get the stroke treatment formula?"

"Sigh... Go ask her in the Big Courtyard, so your mom can give up. I think your mom’s ulterior motives aren’t about the medicine itself, better not have them come over. Just say I’ll return to the Big Courtyard in a few days."

Lin Liyin sighed, "I’ll go over tonight." After saying this, she remembered something, "Dad, my second brother should still retire from the military, right? Early transfer and return can get him a better job."

Mr. Lin hesitated before nodding, "I’ll consider it. I’ll let him return when the right opportunity arises."

Seeing this, Lin Liyin hesitated to say much. Her mom wasn’t ready to give up on her second brother’s matter; had she wanted a transfer, he’d have returned earlier. This was indeed a decision not easily dictated by Mr. Lin’s words alone.

At this moment, a sound came from inside the room, prompting Lin Liyin to rush in, seeing Mrs. Lin awake and persistently pointing at a small notebook.

"Have her come see me immediately!"

Lin Liyin didn’t need to ask who ’her’ referred to. She went over to sit beside Mrs. Lin’s bed, holding her right hand, seeing her anxious expression, and could only coax her.

After a long while of coaxing, Mrs. Lin continued pointing at the paper.

"Mom, I’ll definitely go to my eldest sister’s house tonight. Don’t worry; she might not be home if we go now. Don’t worry that she won’t give you the prescription. I’ve already privately asked Mrs. Zhou, it won’t be long before we get news."

Lin Liyin had no choice but to coax her this way. She herself, as a doctor, didn’t believe there was any secret remedy for stroke. If there were, the Old Zhou Family would have long soared rather than staying in the countryside? Everything was just Mrs. Lin’s wishful imagination. Just as her elder brother said, Mrs. Lin wouldn’t feel settled if she didn’t stir up a fuss a little.
