FSC [QT] Chapter 79.1

The news that Kuang Aijun had returned alive soon spread throughout the village.

Jin Qiaoqiao had been to her uncle’s home in the county town these days. By the time she got the news, it was already the second day after Kuang Aijun had returned.

“Kuang Aijun is back? That’s impossible! Isn’t he dead?”

Jin Qiaoqiao was still holding some broken cakes given by her uncle in the county town.

In those days, cakes were also supplied with tickets. Only people working in the supply and marketing cooperative could get these broken cakes and pastries that were not very attractive in appearance. They only needed to spend money, but no tickets were needed.

Hearing the gossip of Old Mrs. Zhang and the others, her first reaction was to not believe it. In her previous life, Kuang Aijun had not returned until her death.

If he was still alive, why would he not return home when his parents were still alive?

“Did everyone see it wrong? Maybe someone came to the Kuang family, and it was a distant relative who looked like Kuang Aijun.”

Jin Qiaoqiao pondered. It didn’t make sense that the butterfly effect brought by her rebirth would be so great that it would bring back to life a person who was destined to die.

“It can’t be wrong. Many people went to the Kuang family to watch the fun yesterday. I also went to take a look. Third Grandma Xu’s mouth was almost grinning to the back of her ears. If her son hadn’t come back alive, would she be so happy? I also heard her pushing Zhuangwa to let him call Dad.”

Old Mrs. Zhang threw the bamboo basket in her hand aside angrily: “I’m afraid this woman will be proud again in the future. God is really blind to let her give birth to a promising son.”

When Kuang Aijun was still alive, he always suppressed her son. Finally, Kuang Aijun was gone for three years, and the villagers focused their attention on her fourth son.

Now that Kuang Aijun was back, did it mean that such a glorious life was gone forever?

“I don’t know what Second Kuang has been doing for the past three years. Could it be that he was a deserter on the battlefield and hid outside for three years, thinking that no one in the army would recognize him, so he ran back?”

Old Mrs. Zhang thought viciously, but she knew in her heart that her guess was untenable. Because if Kuang Aijun really was a deserter, he would never risk going to the house to come back when there was Zhang Youdong, a teammate in the same unit, in the village.

“Impossible, impossible!”

Jin Qiaoqiao still didn’t believe it and didn’t care whether Old Mrs. Zhang and the others would doubt it. She first muttered to herself in a daze and then rushed out with a full of unwillingness.

She had to see Kuang Aijun standing in front of her with her own eyes before she could believe that he was still alive.

“Mom, the Fourth Daughter-in-law seems to be strange.”

“Yes, her face changed when she heard the news that Kuang Aijun came back alive. After all, Kuang Aijun is Cao Ni’er’s man. What does his life or death have to do with her? Looking at her expression just now, she seems to be more anxious than the Kuang family.”

Zhang Youdong’s two sisters-in-law whispered provocative words in Old Mrs. Zhang’s ear.

They had been dissatisfied with this sister-in-law for a long time. This woman had been so arrogant since the day she got married.

She was not willing to make friends with her sisters-in-law. She always looked at them with contempt, which made people want to tear her face off to see how she could still be noble.

“You say the Fourth Daughter-in-law has an affair?”

Old Mrs. Zhang was anxious. Her son stayed in the army all year round. What she was most afraid of was that she would not be able to keep her daughter-in-law.

Now that she was provoked by the other two daughters-in-law, Old Mrs. Zhang immediately began to suspect whether Jin Qiaoqiao had an affair with Kuang Aijun.

“Mom, we didn’t say that, but the reaction of the Fourth Daughter-in-law just now was strange.”

The two daughters-in-law quickly waved their hands. How could they speak directly if this would cause gossip?

“No, I have to keep an eye on her. If I had known this would happen, I wouldn’t have married the Jin family girl. I didn’t realize that she was such a spendthrift before she got married. Every time she got money, she either bought cosmetics or made clothes. I wonder which man this country girl is trying to seduce by dressing up so seductively.”

Old Mrs. Zhang became more and more dissatisfied with this daughter-in-law.

Every time she went to the post office to get money, she would make a fuss. However, she didn’t save much of the money that she received every month.

She just ate and drank as she pleased. She also never thought about sharing with other people in the family or her husband who was far away in the army. No matter how much money was handed to her, it would be squandered.

Most importantly, Jin Qiaoqiao spent money on what Old Mrs. Zhang felt that it was the most unnecessary.

She was worried that her daughter-in-law, who had been without her husband for many years, would cheat on other men. Because what Jin Qiaoqiao cared about most was her face and her good looks. She spent the few yuan that she got every month on dressing up. How could Old Mrs. Zhang be willing to give her money?

Not to mention that she didn’t want to give more, she even wanted to deduct a part of the few yuan she was supposed to give her every month.

But Old Mrs. Zhang was afraid that if she had gone too far, even her filial fourth son couldn’t stand her, so she pinched her nose and gave Jin Qiaoqiao a few yuan every month. But, her resentment toward her was getting heavier.

Fearing that her daughter-in-law would mess around with another man, Old Mrs. Zhang was anxious and divided the housework between her two daughters-in-law and hurriedly chased after her.

The two daughters-in-law smiled at each other.

Seeing the bag of snacks that Jin Qiaoqiao had left on the table in the main hall because she was in such a hurry, they tacitly divided the small bag of snacks and went back to their rooms, preparing to destroy these things before Jin Qiaoqiao came back.
