Rebirth: Splendid Marriage in the 80s

Chapter 1561: Chapter 1563: Behaving Like Family Members (For Fan Yuan+)

Chiang Songhai thought about how Chiang Xiao used to react to those from the Old Chiang Family, and he forced himself to harden his heart and remain calm.

It wasn’t for any other reason; he just felt a deep, heavy weight in his chest. He strongly hoped he could handle this matter well. After all, letting Chiang Xiao, as a daughter, deal with her own mother in this situation made him feel deeply sorry for her.

Therefore, Chiang Songhai was unprecedentedly composed and steady.

He looked at Chiang Qingzhu and said, ”Qingzhu, I know you definitely don’t want to go back to the village, right?”

Chiang Qingzhu’s face turned pale, and she immediately shook her head. ”Dad, I won’t go back, I can’t go back! Their words alone would drown me!”

”Alright, then we won’t go back to the village, and we won’t return to town either. From now on, you’ll stay with me and your mom. We’ll live in the county. There, no one knows you, and your mom and I are still strong enough to take care of you.”

Hearing Chiang Songhai’s words, Chiang Qingzhu shot up to her feet. ”Huaming County?”

”Yes, we’ll live in the county. All your needs—food, clothing, shelter—can be arranged, so you don’t have to worry about anything. It’ll just be the three of us living together, and our days will be peaceful.”

”Dad, Mom, isn’t the county just as desolate and poor?” Chiang Qingzhu asked.

Chiang Songhai exchanged a look with Ge Liutao, and Ge Liutao couldn’t help but say to Qingzhu, ”Zhuzhu, have you forgotten? You used to say more than once that if we could live in the county, it would be an incredible blessing.”

”Mom, that was ages ago.” Chiang Qingzhu had long forgotten she ever said such words. How could she, someone who had settled in the Capital City, choose to move back to Huaming County?

That was simply out of the question.

What’s more, her health had finally stabilized, and she could venture out again. She hadn’t even had the chance to explore the Capital City completely. Moving back to Huaming County now? Of course, she wasn’t willing.

Besides, Huaming County was so far from the Capital City. Wouldn’t that mean being separated from Kuang Kanzhi?

The mere thought of being apart from Kuang Kanzhi made Chiang Qingzhu feel waves of panic, her heart hollow and unsettled. She unconsciously shifted her seat closer to Kuang Kanzhi.

”Actually, Uncle and Auntie, I have a better suggestion,” Kuang Kanzhi said. ”Chiang Xiao is already in the Capital City, right? She also has a fairly large residence there. How about you two move to the Capital City instead? Since Chiang Xiao will likely establish herself in the Capital City in the future, the family can always stay connected.”

”Exactly, exactly!” Chiang Qingzhu quickly agreed. ”Kan Zhi is right. Dad, Mom, if you move to the Capital City, I could visit you anytime!”

When Chiang Qingzhu said this, Chiang Songhai almost passed out from shock.

”Qingzhu, what do you mean by this? You’re not coming home? You want to keep staying with the Kong Family?”

”Well, well... I’m already used to living here at the Kong Family’s place...” Chiang Qingzhu instinctively shrank closer to Kuang Kanzhi.

Seeing her alarmed expression, Kuang Kanzhi quickly and habitually extended his hand to gently pat her back, soothing her in a low voice, ”Don’t be afraid, don’t be afraid.”

Watching this scene unfold, Ge Liutao nearly fainted as well.

They suddenly understood the frustrated and infuriated emotions Chiang Xiao had expressed when she previously spoke about the relationship between Chiang Qingzhu and Kuang Kanzhi.

If Kuang Kanzhi were unmarried, or divorced, or widowed—essentially, as long as he were single—everything could be discussed. They would even support Chiang Qingzhu marrying him.

But Kuang Kanzhi clearly had a wife and daughter at home!

What kind of situation was this!

”Qingzhu, come here,” Chiang Songhai stifled his anger as he addressed Chiang Qingzhu. ”From now on, compensating and repaying Mr. Kuang will be left up to us.”
