Reborn in the 70s: Pampered by Regiment Commander

Chapter 1549 - 1025: Promise (Part 2)

But to say she wasn’t moved would be a lie. If it weren’t for protecting her, how could the old lady be this worked up?

Seeing her mother-in-law and daughter-in-law act like this really let Jiang Xinwan finally set her heart at ease, so she stopped pretending: "To be honest with you, the kids have been gone all this time without a single bit of news. To say I’m not anxious would be a lie.

It’s exactly because of this that Laoer’s Wife keeps jumping up and down. Right now she’s just wishing there’ll never be any news. That way, even if Zhidong becomes Family Head, the position will still have to be passed on to Wenhang."

Among the younger generation of men in the Lin Family, Lin Wenbin had long been set to go together with them. Lin Wenjie and Lin Wenxiu both snuck off. So the only one left at the rear now is Lin Wenhang.

At this topic, Lin Yanqiu’s expression also darkened. Her youngest son still hadn’t sent back a single bit of news. To say she wasn’t anxious would be a lie. It’s just that in order not to worry her younger daughter-in-law, she’d been acting as if nothing was wrong. And now someone actually wants to make a fuss over this—how could she possibly be in a good mood?

"Don’t worry, the kids will be fine. This kind of thing is something you have to get used to. Back then, did we worry any less? But in the end, didn’t everything turn out just fine?" Old Madam Zhou glared at the two of them in dissatisfaction. "Chuxia is so young, and she’s already better than you two."

"Mom, what I’m mad about is Li Xinwei’s way of doing things..." Afraid her daughter-in-law would overthink it, Lin Yanqiu hurriedly explained, "It’s not like I don’t know what Xiaomi is capable of. Wenbin and Wenjie are both quick on their feet. There’s no way something will happen to them, absolutely none."

"That’s right, Aunt Zhou, I’m actually really not worried about the kids. I’m just mad that Li Xinwei took advantage of a time like this to stir things up. We’re family after all, and she still acts like that—it’s really chilling."

"Is this the first time she’s done something that chills people?" Old Madam Zhou looked at her blandly. "You all know perfectly well what kind of temperament she has, yet you still let her lead you by the nose. Aren’t you just looking to upset yourselves?

We all know tasks like this carry risks. But whether you worry or not, it’s not going to change anything. So those of us who stay at home should adjust our mindset and not let the kids worry about us.

As for Li Xinwei’s little tricks, since we’ve already seen her clearly, why let her affect us? Anyway, from now on, I’m not giving her even half a shred of face.

Summer, next time she comes looking for you or your parents, you don’t need to bother with her. I’ll just grab a stick and chase her out. My reputation in the circle has always been like this, and I don’t mind people gossiping.

Daring to set her sights on my granddaughter-in-law—she really must be sick and tired of living. Does she really think that just because I’m old, I’ve turned into a toothless tiger?

Hmph, I’ll let her see for herself what a so‑called toothless tiger looks like when it really bares its fangs. There’s no such thing as regret medicine for sale in this world!"

"Aunt Zhou, you’re still the awesome one..." Jiang Xinwan looked at Old Madam Zhou with open admiration. "You’re the one I respect the most—you never put on an act. Being with you is the most comfortable."

"Alright, enough with the flattery. You think I don’t know what the circle says about me?" Old Madam Zhou snorted coldly. "It’s not like I eat their food or drink their wine. What’s it to them?

Whether I’m shrewish or virtuous, I’m not living my life with them anyway. They can say whatever they like. As long as my family is safe and doesn’t suffer grievances, they can say what they want."

"Grandma, I want to learn from you..." Chuxia looked at Old Madam Zhou with starry‑eyed worship. "You really are the wisest old lady I’ve ever seen. No one else can compare to you."

"Mm. Child, you’re quick‑witted, and at critical moments your head is on straight. But sometimes you’re still too soft and too easily swayed..." With a sigh, Old Madam Zhou looked seriously at Chuxia. "Grandma’s not saying that being kind is wrong, but you have to see who you’re dealing with. With some people, the better you treat them, the more they take you for a fool.

Whether it’s your maiden family background, your husband’s family background, or your own ability, you absolutely have the capital to be proud. From now on, if anyone dares to bully you, don’t endure it for even a second, got it?"

Chuxia nodded repeatedly. "Got it, got it. If I really stir up trouble, I’ve still got Grandma backing me. What am I afraid of?"

Just then Old Master Zhao and Old Lady Zhao came in from outside, each pushing Nannan and Beibei. Hearing what Chuxia said, they both couldn’t help but smile helplessly. "Just spoil her," Old Lady Zhao said. "When Xiaomi can’t put up with her anymore, he’ll be coming to you for backup."

"Sister-in-law of the Zhao Family, you can set your mind completely at ease. No matter what kind of person Chuxia becomes, Xiaomi’s feelings for her will never change, a hundred percent..." With two chuckles, Old Madam Zhou went on, "And I’m not exaggerating here—if we dared to cross Chuxia now, that boy would absolutely cut ties with the Zhou family on the spot."

Chuxia protested, unconvinced. "Grandma, it’s not that exaggerated."

"Grandma’s not exaggerating at all..." Old Madam Zhou looked at her granddaughter-in-law seriously. "You know as well as I do—before he met you, that child barely came home a few times a year and never showed us a good face. Now look at him, it’s like he’s changed into a different person. Sigh, it’s really a bit heartbreaking when you think about it. Our whole big family doesn’t add up to you alone, Summer."

"Grandma..." Even though she knew the old lady was mostly joking, Chuxia still looked utterly embarrassed... (To be continued.
