Rebirth: Splendid Marriage in the 80s

Chapter 655: Chapter 656 Rejection

Moreover, if Chiang Yuequn found a good job with an iron rice bowl and started earning a national salary, he would be able to bring his whole family to the city eventually.

He was the treasured one that his family heavily invested in! How could he possibly marry someone like Zou Xiaoling, a rural woman who not only had staged a wedding banquet with a fool but had also caught the eye of Chiang Baohe?

”However,” Ho Laidi’s eyes darted cunningly as she spoke to Chiang Xiao, ”Chiang Xiao, look, I know you hate me, and indeed, I wasn’t very nice to you before. Now I don’t ask for much, just think of it as helping your granduncle. He’s getting on in years and still has to worry about your Second Uncle’s marriage issues. Your grandfather probably can’t stand it either, right? You could let your grandfather help out, or you yourself could do it! I know you’re quite capable now, for sure you can lend a hand. Just find someone to get Zou Xiaoling a job in the provincial city, let her be a substitute teacher at a school there.”

The moment Zou Xiaoling heard these words, she was stunned and forgot to cry.

Ho Laidi was speaking up for her?

Was she truly willing to persuade Chiang Xiao to help her get to the provincial city?

Ho Laidi then continued, ”Of course, we won’t be helping for nothing! As long as she agrees to marry your Second Uncle, we’ll help! I’ll even get your Little Uncle to give them a hand so they can settle down in the provincial city and start a family! Doesn’t that sound good?”

Chiang Xiao listened with a smile that was not quite a smile.

One had to say, Ho Laidi really knew how to hatch a perfect plan!

She glanced at Zou Xiaoling and saw that she, too, seemed deep in thought, prompting an inward sneer from Chiang Xiao.

To her surprise, before she could speak, Ge Liutao firmly declared, ”Big sister-in-law, we can’t help with this! Little can’t help, Uncle Hai can’t help! You should find someone else for assistance!”

Chiang Xiao was genuinely shocked; she hadn’t expected her grandmother, of all people, to be the one quick to decline before she even said anything. And her grandmother’s tone was indeed resolute!

”Ge Liutao, what do you mean by that? Is it your turn to speak? You say you can’t help, and that’s it?” Ho Laidi was immediately enraged.

If this had been before, she might have shoved Ge Liutao without a second thought, but after being beaten by Chiang Xiao so many times, and with Chiang Xiao right there, she was a bit afraid to lay a hand on her.

”Anyway, we just can’t help, and if you think Yuequn is capable, go to him. Little, let’s go,” Ge Liutao said as she quickly pulled Chiang Xiao away to leave.

”Ge Liutao, come back here!”

”Chiang Xiao!”

Ho Laidi and Zou Xiaoling wanted to stop them, but when Chiang Xiao glared at them, they instinctively pulled back their hands.

The beatings had been somewhat effective, after all.

Once downstairs, Chiang Xiao met Yu Chunyu’s complex gaze and said coldly, ”Teacher Yu, I really don’t have the best temper. I might put up with some things once or twice, but if someone continues without restraint, I won’t show mercy.”

She knew that Zou Xiaoling and Ho Laidi suddenly coming up with those methods and new ideas must have had Yu Chunyu instructing them from behind.

She really didn’t understand what Yu Chunyu was thinking.

Did she think that would give her a chance with Meng Xinian, or what?

Or was it simply that, because of Meng Xinian, she held a grudge against her, and now she just wanted to cause trouble for her, no matter what?

Chiang Xiao didn’t bother with her any longer and left the hospital with Ge Liutao.

Watching their retreating figures, Yu Chunyu bit her lower lip.
