Rebirth: Splendid Marriage in the 80s

Chapter 1231: Chapter 1232: Connections I’d Rather Not Use

Meng Xinian and Chiang Xiao had already left, heading directly to Hu Xibing’s shop. They happened to run into Hu pushing his bicycle, ready to leave. Seeing them, he was immediately delighted.

”Officer, Sister-in-law, I was just about to look for you two!”

”What’s the matter?”

”Chu Liang called, said he needed to speak to Sister-in-law urgently, asked me to find you immediately.”

Lately, Chu Liang had been at his family home in the provincial city where they had received quite a few orders for Youqingwei snacks, and he had gone to collect payments. But if there was a problem with orders or payments, he wouldn’t be searching for her so frantically.

”Did he mention what it was about?”

”It seems that the Xue Family called him; they need to talk to Sister-in-law about something.”

Chiang Xiao was taken aback.

The Xue Family?

Why was the Xue Family so urgently looking for her?

”Brother Hu, may I use the phone for a moment?”

Regarding the Xue Family.

Xue Liujin had just hung up the phone, but the call had been from Chiang Baoguo.

Chiang Baoguo was quite the smooth talker, yet his underlying message was to hurry up and handle Chiang Baohe’s situation. Xue Liujin had already asked someone to inquire with the Public Security Officer in Huaming County about the case.

Nowadays, the punishment for hooliganism was both swift and severe, and he was well aware of the stakes. Thus, he had been constantly preoccupied with the matter.

He was inclined to believe what Chiang Baoguo said because he trusted the character of Chiang Songhai and Chiang Xiao, feeling that given their integrity, Chiang Songhai’s brother and nephew couldn’t possibly be the sort to actually commit such crimes.

It was common for siblings to be at odds, happening everywhere, but now that such a significant issue had arisen, Chiang Xiao would put any past grudges aside first, right?

In the past, his wife’s loose tongue had caused the issue with Wu Zhiyuan, and to this day, Xue Liujin still felt guilty towards Chiang Xiao, so he was very willing to help her if given the chance.

However, considering the distance, the Xue Family had no significant social connections in Huaming County. Some relationships that might have to be called upon were ones he previously didn’t want to bother casually, as they would mean calling in favors.

So after a few detours, he decided to wait for more news.

The message from Chiang Baoguo’s call was that he had phoned home and said that Chiang Xiao could only seek help from her fiancé’s family, the Meng Family. They felt that since she wasn’t married into the family yet, if they disdained her because of this matter, it would be dragging down and delaying Chiang Xiao’s marriage.

Xue Liujin thought there was some truth in what he said.

Moreover, it showed that he was quite considerate of Chiang Xiao.

So he held a fair amount of regard for Chiang Baoguo.

Thus, after hanging up, he thought it over and decided to reach out to some connections he’d been reluctant to call on previously.

Right as he was about to make the call, Zheng Yucheng and his family of three arrived.

During summer vacation, they often came over for dinner.

Seeing his father-in-law’s face look somewhat solemn, not smiling and greeting his granddaughter as usual, Zheng Yucheng sensed something was off.

”Dad, has something happened?”

Xue Liujin was about to make the call when he heard the question and sighed, ”I was just thinking about how to approach Vice Chairman Lin and ask him for help.”

Upon hearing this, Zheng Yucheng was startled, ”Vice Chairman Lin? Dad, didn’t you always say that he is someone who keeps a very clear account of favors and grudges and that it is easy to upset him if one oversteps?”

”Yes, that’s exactly how he is. I helped him out before, and he has always remembered to repay that favor. However, if he does something more than that help, he would then feel like I owe him instead.”

It was precisely for this reason that he had always been reluctant to reach out to Vice Chairman Lin.
