Reborn in the 80s: The Smart Wife with a Secret Space Chapter 499
Although her father felt sorry for his daughter at the time, he really didn’t want to agree to let her take out half of her salary for her. Ultimately, it was the old man who got angry, and if he didn’t agree, he would make a big fuss about it.
They would become like street rats, unable to lift their heads, but it wouldn’t affect the grandfather-granddaughter pair if he took her away.
Finally, her biological father, Chu Honglin, had no choice but to bow his head and agree. Although he didn’t end up hating her or his daughter, their relationship couldn’t be close anymore, and it remained distant thereafter.
After learning about Chu Zhenhua’s situation, everyone’s attitude toward her changed.
Even Han Chaoxu looked at Chu Zhenhua with more compassion. He knew about her mother’s early death and that she was raised by her grandfather, but he had never heard such details about her family relationship before.
He vowed in his heart to treat her even better in the future.
Chu Zhenhua spoke not to rebuke everyone’s sympathy but because she and Han Chaoxu were no longer young and soon would face the stage of meeting parents and discussing marriage.
Rather than having everything come out bit by bit later on, it was better to share with everyone upfront.
Of course, this was also Chu Zhenhua’s way of testing the Han Family’s attitudes. If they disliked her family situation, she would have to consider whether to continue with Han Chaoxu.
At the core, Chu Zhenhua seemed mild-mannered, but her temperament resembled her grandfather’s — someone with plans in mind.
As they were chatting, Han Jingheng and Su Aihong arrived, making the scene even livelier.
Sun Zhenling didn’t forget to find time to whisper about Chu Zhenhua’s situation to her big aunt.
Su Aihong hadn’t expected her second son’s partner to have suffered such grievances, so before the dishes were served, she took the chance to ask Chu Zhenhua, "Zhenhua, is your leg okay now?"
Chu Zhenhua nodded, "It’s fine now, sorry for worrying you, Auntie."
Su Aihong reached over and pulled Chu Zhenhua’s hand, "I just heard about your situation earlier. Don’t worry, I will treat you as a daughter when you and your sister-in-law enter the family."
She genuinely felt sorry for this young lady, but she couldn’t just say she cared about her, fearing her eldest daughter-in-law might feel uncomfortable. So she included her.
However, Wu Shengfang was obviously surprised by her mother-in-law’s words, feeling warm inside.
As things were almost prepared in the kitchen, Xinyan entered the room, obviously tired, with Granny Zhang sleeping soundly.
Xinyan was debating whether or not to wake her up when Granny Zhang opened her eyes, "Yanyan, what time is it?"
Xinyan chuckled and said, "It’s time for dinner."
Upon hearing this, Granny Zhang slapped the bed, "Look at me, I only meant to stretch my back, how did I end up falling asleep?"
Xinyan saw Granny Zhang’s annoyed expression and laughed directly, pointing to the small bowl on the table, "Before I went out, I lit some calming incense for you hoping it would give you a good nap."
Granny Zhang suddenly realized, "I was wondering, I clearly didn’t want to sleep."
Saying that, she got out of bed and quickly tidied herself up.
Xinyan clearly understood her feelings, "I’ve got everything handled."
Upon hearing this, Granny Zhang instantly didn’t feel the previous tension. She was here only for Xinyan’s sake, there was no need to tire herself out mentally; just a relaxed heart was enough.
Xinyan saw that she had come to terms, "Let’s go, now you have the spirit to chat with everyone."
With that, she supported Granny Zhang from the room.
Han Chunxue was very excited to see them coming out.
She was the first to greet, "Hello Aunt Zhang, I’m Han Chunxue, Xinyan’s aunt."
