Rebirth: Splendid Marriage in the 80s

Chapter 1005: Chapter 1006: Gloomy

Zhao Xin almost choked this time.

”Cough cough, Sister-in-law, what did you say? Our battalion commander?”

”You don’t know about this?”

”I forgot whether or not I’ve heard,” Zhao Xin nearly burst into tears, ”how could the battalion commander do that? He already has you, Sister-in-law, and still messes with Xiao Yu?”

Now, Chiang Xiao had to clear the air for Tyrant Meng, ”Your battalion commander did not mess with her! I was there too, just happened to go to sister Xiao Yu’s breakfast stall to eat breakfast, and Xiao Yu’s sister thought your battalion commander looked good, so she pulled Xiao Yu out and insisted she have a look at Meng Xinian right then and there!”

Zhao Xin was stunned for a moment, ”And then Xiao Yu took a liking to our battalion commander?”

”Yeah, and she even unilaterally thought that the meeting was successful, and later even believed it was me who stole her match.”

Thinking of Yu Chunyu, Chiang Xiao still felt somewhat speechless.

”How could she do that?” Zhao Xin slammed his chopsticks down on the table, visibly angry.

Chiang Xiao glanced at him, then landed another blow: ”Later when she realized there was no possibility with Meng Xinian, she set her sights on Brother Hu.”

”Pfft!” Zhao Xin spat out, ”You’re talking about who?”

”Hu Xibing.”

Zhao Xin’s face darkened. ”Brother Xi Bing didn’t fancy her?”

”Right, Brother Hu didn’t fancy her, but she still pestered Brother Hu for quite a while. Later on, because she got into some trouble with a colleague, she took a leave and temporarily left Peace Town.”

”What kind of trouble? Wasn’t she sent out by the school for training?”

”As far as I know, she was not,” replied Chiang Xiao as she picked up some food with her chopsticks, ”But, you can also ask the school principal or other teachers tomorrow. Or, we could go and ask Teacher Song Tianyang from our village after dinner; he’s a relative of the middle school principal and should know about the middle school’s issues.”

Although she felt that a woman like Yu Chunyu was absolutely not a good match, she still hoped Zhao Xin would find out for himself and have a look, so he wouldn’t feel later on that she had ruined his good marital prospects.

Because some people, despite having character issues, are still favored by those who might not mind those things. She wasn’t Zhao Xin, and couldn’t make all decisions for him.

Zhao Xin gritted his teeth, ”Fine! Let’s go ask! If I can get it clear, I can also talk to my aunt about it later, so that she’ll be more careful in the future!”

After dinner, Chiang Xiao took him to the Song family, also bringing some candy along.

Teacher Song had helped her out before, so this was also Chiang Xiao’s way of paying an early New Year’s visit.

Teacher Song did not refuse but accepted with a smile.

Once he understood Zhao Xin’s intentions, he shook his head, ”As far as I’m aware, the town middle school did not send any teachers out for training. Even if there were any, they wouldn’t be gone for such a long time, since the school currently lacks teaching staff and the principal almost wishes one teacher could do the work of two. Also, I do know that there was a female teacher who made a fuss about wanting paid leave, but her conditions were not quite suitable. The principal even got angry at the time.”

Leaving the Song family, Zhao Xin was in a very gloomy mood.

”Are you very disappointed?”

”How could Xiao Yu be like that? Sister-in-law, I really thought this time there was a good chance.”

”So do you still want to go see her tomorrow?”

”No, I’m not going. She has personality issues and tells nothing but lies.” Zhao Xin shook his head, ”I dare not marry a girl like that. Sister-in-law, I’m heading home tomorrow, should be back in time for the New Year’s Eve dinner.”

Chiang Xiao nodded, ”If you’re leaving, there is something I need to ask you to do.”
