Rebirth: Splendid Marriage in the 80s

Chapter 1201: Chapter 1202: It’s Different Now

Chiang Xiao descended from the mountain, ready to head back to the town but encountered Xu Linjiang, who happened to be approaching on a bicycle from afar.

”Little!”

Chiang Xiao looked at him in surprise as he approached.

”Uncle, what brings you here? You didn’t come all this way just to see me, did you?”

By the time Xu Linjiang reached her, she could see that his face looked rather pale.

”I happened to be going to the village.”

”To the village? To see Secretary Uncle?”

Although Xu Linjiang and his family were not from Siyang Village, due to their contract for the mountain top, they often interacted with Secretary Yao. Thus, Chiang Xiao wasn’t too surprised that Xu Linjiang was visiting Siyang Village, but Xu Linjiang’s pallor made her think something might have happened at Chestnut Mountain.

Xu Linjiang shook his head, ”Get on the bike, I’ll explain as we go.”

Chiang Xiao sat in the rear seat of the bike.

Xu Linjiang pedaled the bicycle, heading towards Siyang Village.

”Your grandparents have also returned to the village.”

”Weren’t they at Chestnut Mountain with Uncle, overseeing the house construction?” Chiang Xiao was puzzled. This morning, Chiang Songhai had not mentioned anything about returning to the village today.

”That was the plan, but then Hu Xibing came and said someone had come to your house.” Hearing what Ge Dejun had reported back, Xu Linjiang knew about the attitude of Chen Kaijin and her sister towards Chiang Songhai and Ge Liutao, and therefore he had no negative impression of Chen Kaijin. He simply said, ”It was your aunt and her sister.”

”My aunt?” Chiang Xiao took a moment to grasp this.

”Yes, is this her first time coming back?”

It was then Chiang Xiao realized he was talking about Chen Kaijin!

Chen Kaijin came?

And she brought her sister too?

Chiang Xiao was momentarily stunned.

This was completely different from her previous life.

In her previous life, Chen Kaijin had never visited Siyang Village, let alone her sister.

It wasn’t Deng Qingjiang who came, but them?

What were they doing here?

Chiang Xiao felt her mind whirl in confusion, unable to fully grasp the sudden change in direction.

In her previous life, she had gone out with Deng Qingjiang, but never lived in his house. Deng Qingjiang arranged for her to stay in a dormitory, and she would occasionally stay at the Deng Family on weekends. At that time, Chen Kaijin was quite nice to her, which was why she felt embarrassed to refuse when Chen Kaijin introduced Chen Liting to her.

However, after knowing the true character of Chen Liting, she started to guard against Chen Kaijin, realizing that Chen Kaijin was not genuinely kind to her.

But at that time, she thought Chen Kaijin’s terminal illness and bad mood were to blame and persuaded herself not to quarrel with someone so severely ill.

Now, the sudden arrival of Chen Kaijin in Siyang Village twisted the trajectory she had in mind.

But, what did it matter?

No matter the reason behind Chen Kaijin’s visit, she was not afraid.

However, it was now time to start paying attention and handle things properly.

With this change, who knew what else might change with Deng Qingjiang.

”I heard she even brought eight hundred yuan for your grandparents, but they didn’t accept it,” Xu Linjiang said as he rode along, discussing the family matters.

Chiang Xiao hummed in acknowledgment.

Actually, whether they accepted it or not didn’t matter.

After all, whether they took the money or not, she would neither appreciate Chen Kaijin nor decrease her vigilance towards her.

Besides, whether they accepted the money or not, Chen Kaijin’s calculations would surely not change.

Xu Linjiang then started talking about the matters involving Chiang Baohe, Zou Xiaoling, and Yu Chunyu.
