Rebirth: Splendid Marriage in the 80s

Chapter 1526: Chapter 1528 Thinking of Them

Chiang Xiao suddenly didn’t know what to say either. She pursed her lips, looking at Chiang Qingzhu like this, feeling as if a large clump of cotton was stuffed into her chest, suffocating her.

At this moment, she suddenly missed Meng Xinian very much, wanted to embrace him, to lean into his arms, to listen to his steady voice.

She seemed, for an instant, fragile and helpless.

Was fate being kind to her, or cruel?

She naturally couldn’t bring herself to like this Chiang Qingzhu, nor feel close to her.

But seeing her pale face and her trembling, she couldn’t bring herself to scold her either.

What’s most important was, thinking about how her grandparents were originally living a peaceful life, only to have it disrupted by this daughter, she felt somewhat irritable.

She took a deep breath, suppressed the irritability, and asked: ”And after that? You went to the Kong Family.”

It was still Kuang Kanzhi who answered for Chiang Qingzhu.

”I also saved Ah Zhu by chance back then. At that time, she was afraid of everyone, anyone getting close could send her into hysterics. But for some reason, she trusted me.”

Kuang Kanzhi, looking gently at Chiang Qingzhu, said, ”How could I just abandon her? I took her home, explained the situation to my wife, and for the first two or three years, Ah Zhu mostly stayed in her room all day, suffering from insomnia every night, eventually having to rely on sleeping pills to help her sleep. Moreover, I hired a foreign doctor to treat her.”

”The doctor said she had suffered psychological trauma, which needed to be treated properly and would be a long-term treatment.”

He said this and gently stroked Chiang Qingzhu’s back with his hand.

Chiang Qingzhu gradually calmed down, took a breath, and said, ”For the first two or three years, I was plagued with nightmares every day and hadn’t thought of my family at all. Later on, I dared not even contact my parents.”

”Why, why didn’t you dare to? They are your biological parents.”

Chiang Qingzhu, with tears in her eyes, said, ”Little, you don’t understand. I had to take so much medication every day. Where would our family get the money from? What would my parents do if they found out? They couldn’t abandon me, nor could they afford my treatment; how much pain would that cause them?”

Chiang Xiao: ”...”

So to speak, her grandparents should be grateful to her?

So to speak, she was wholly considering her grandparents’ well-being?

How thick-skinned must Chiang Qingzhu be, and so unashamed, to speak like this in front of Kuang Kanzhi?

She knew that medication was expensive and the pressure of medical treatment was heavy, so she didn’t dare to burden her biological parents, but she had the cheek to let Kuang Kanzhi bear the burden?

What relation did she have with him, to spend his money so righteously and peacefully?

Chiang Xiao really couldn’t comprehend Chiang Qingzhu’s way of thinking!

Moreover, she didn’t even want to ask these questions! Because by seeing the way Kuang Kanzhi looked at Chiang Qingzhu, she knew, this man was willingly spending the money on Chiang Qingzhu!

Chiang Xiao suddenly felt some sympathy for his wife, Xiao Fang.

”Moreover, if they knew what I went through, they wouldn’t be able to lift their heads in the village. They also wouldn’t be able to settle down in the Capital City, and I can’t go back with them either. If I did, the people in the village would drive me to death. So, it’s better for them to think I’m dead.”

Hearing this, Chiang Xiao admired her own calmness even more.

She asked expressionlessly: ”What about you then? Haven’t you ever thought about secretly finding out about our situation?”
