Rebirth: Splendid Marriage in the 80s

Chapter 1164: Chapter 1165: Will Not Give Up

They had originally pinned their hopes on Chiang Yuequn, thinking he could make it to university. But now they found that it was utterly impossible for Chiang Yuequn to attend any university. His grades were too poor, and some third-rate or even lower-quality schools would require sponsorship fees, which their family simply couldn’t afford.

Now their only hope was that he could truly manage to stay in the provincial city, find a job, earn some money, and eventually buy a house there to become a city dweller.

They heard he had started seeing a girl from the city. Before leaving, Chiang Songtao had given him a lengthy talk, telling him once he was in the city not to meddle in other matters but to go and ask Boss Chiang Baoguo for some money and properly date that city girl.

Once he married that city girl, wouldn’t he be able to stay in the city and become a city dweller?

Besides, Chiang Songtao had told Chiang Yuequn that if he found anything unclear, was unsure about handling situations, or couldn’t make decisions, he should write back for advice.

But now that Chiang Yuequn had disappeared without a trace since he left for the provincial city, how could Chiang Songtao not become extremely anxious?

He felt that he had truly aged too rapidly over these past two years.

Meanwhile, the relationship between Chiang Baohe and Zou Xiaoling had been calmer than before over the past few months, but it was also calm enough to make them easily overlooked.

”Didn’t you say you would help me find an opportunity? How long has it been? How much longer do I have to wait? I’m telling you if you don’t act soon, you’ll never leave the Chiang Family in your lifetime. You Zou Xiaoling, alive you belong to me, dead you’ll be my ghost! I will never let you go even in death.”

That night, Chiang Baohe vented again on Zou Xiaoling and then glared at her menacingly with his one eye.

The air was filled with the sour-smelling odor from his infrequent baths, combined with the sweat from his recent exertions and a sickening pungent musk.

His body was sweaty all over, and there were areas of fungal infection that made Zou Xiaoling feel extremely nauseated.

She was almost at her breaking point.

Before leaving, Chiang Yuequn had revealed a bit to her, saying he absolutely would not return to life in Siyang Village, the poor mountain village. He was determined to find ways to stay in the provincial city, but until he succeeded, until he could settle down there, he simply had no means to help his family.

He had mentioned to her that there was still another option in the city he had before decided against pursuing.

Now he had no other choice but to try that route.

Zou Xiaoling had heard him mention a place.

Of course, Chiang Yuequn revealing so much to Zou Xiaoling had been her cunningly extracting information.

She had discreetly handed Chiang Yuequn fifty yuan.

It was because of those fifty yuan that Chiang Yuequn talked a little more with her.

Zou Xiaoling felt that he was specifically revealing his movements after going to the provincial city to her.

See, only she in the Chiang Family knew, Chiang Yuequn must feel differently about her then.

The thought of Chiang Yuequn made Zou Xiaoling feel overwhelmed too.

Hearing Chiang Baohe say that, she clenched her teeth and said, ”Though Chun Yu has gone back to town and back to school, I told you before, I need some time to make her believe I’ve completely calmed down, accepted this life, and isn’t counting on me coming after her, so she will be less cautious, more relaxed. Only then can I invite her over.”

Otherwise, would Yu Chunyu believe her? Dare to meet her?

”I don’t understand what you’re saying. Just give me a straight answer, is it possible to do it now?” Chiang Baohe had grown slightly paranoid already, becoming more obstinate the longer it dragged on, never giving up on what he decided to do.
