Rebirth: Splendid Marriage in the 80s

Chapter 3131: Chapter 3067: Feels Really Pointless

Miss Cui Mingshan is the Cui Family’s Laosan. When her son, Lin Jingyu, was three years old, her husband was assigned to work at the frontier, and he never transferred back for ten years.

Cui Mingshan wrote many letters hoping he would apply to return, but her husband said the work there couldn’t do without him. If he were to transfer back, it would have to be through her father’s connections, but he was unwilling to do so and decided to plant his roots in the frontier.

Commander Cui did send people to check on him; they came back saying her son-in-law was indeed a top-notch worker there, and none of the leaders and colleagues wanted him to leave. His work ethic was very serious and responsible, and losing him would be a loss for them.

Commander Cui could only let it go.

He still admired people who were serious and responsible about their work.

At that time, Cui Mingshan returned to the Cui Family, bringing her three-year-old son along. She said living outside alone with her son felt unsafe and frightening. Additionally, she had her own job, so she felt more at ease knowing someone at home could take care of the child. So, she stayed with the Cui Family for ten years.

Zeng Roufen hasn’t said much these years. After all, they live in their own home, so letting Cui Mingshan and Lin Jingyu stay doesn’t matter.

But the Cui Family’s eldest daughter lives here too.

Miss Cui Minglan, whose husband works in Capital City, but the house they were allocated was small, and she wasn’t great at looking after children, felt it was easier to have help at home, so she also returned to live at the Cui Family.

Now this is the situation at the Cui Family Old Mansion: none of the three sons live here, but the two married daughters do.

However, Cui Minglan often comes and goes early or late and mostly stays in her room at home, so it’s not easy to catch a glimpse of her.

Cui Mingshan glanced at Zeng Roufen and said softly, ”I passed by earlier and heard talking in Zhenyan’s room, and I thought it was you who had come back. If it wasn’t you, then Zhenyan must be on the phone.”

The Cui Family has three telephones: one in the living room, and one each in Commander Cui’s and Cui Zhenyan’s rooms.

Upon hearing this, Zeng Roufen froze for a moment.

”It’s not even seven yet? Would he have started working again?” Zeng Roufen displayed a sympathetic expression.

”You know Zhenyan always works tirelessly. No need to worry. I noticed Zhenyan seemed in good spirits these past two days, seems like there isn’t any troubling issue,” Cui Mingshan reassured.

Zeng Roufen felt a little dejected.

Cui Zhenyan seemed to be out of sorts. After coming home the other day, he asked if she had gone to see Xiao Chiang, questioning why she did it. She found excuses, but Cui Zhenyan clearly didn’t believe her and told her to reflect on her behavior. Then, it got even more ridiculous; he stayed at the old mansion alone these two days.

This left Zeng Roufen completely bewildered.

Cui Zhenyan isn’t the type to run away from home; he just dislikes seeing her when they have conflicts.

Unable to hold back after two days at home, Zeng Roufen rushed over early one morning.

She even unprecedentedly cooked some stuffed buns.

Yet, upon hearing Cui Mingshan’s words, Zeng Roufen suddenly felt so discouraged.

Cui Zhenyan returned to stay at the old mansion, causing her anxiousness and worry. For two days, she didn’t rest well, and today she couldn’t bear it any longer. She rushed over to make breakfast for him — his favorite stuffed buns — spent half a day busy, only to hear that Cui Zhenyan seemed in good spirits?
