90s: You are all reborn, who will spoil you?

Chapter 40 Lin Luping was dragged into the water by Zhang Na

When Lin Hui heard this, he was stunned at first, but then he was amused by his niece's innocent words.

He gently scratched Xie Yan's nose and said with a smile, "Yan Yan, your idea is really interesting! However, things like memory transplantation are still just plots in science fiction novels. We still have to believe in science and study and live down to earth."

Xie Yan blinked her big eyes and nodded. She hugged her uncle's arm tightly and said coquettishly, "Uncle, you should tell me more scientific knowledge in the future and let me know more interesting things, okay?"

"Of course!" Lin Hui touched Xie Yan's head lovingly, his heart full of love for this smart little niece.

After lunch, Jiang Cuifen took her granddaughter shopping and bought two sets of clothes and shoes for Xie Yan before returning home satisfied.

As night fell quietly, Xie Jianhua and his daughter prepared to bid farewell to their parents-in-law and return to their own home.

Jiang Cuifen and Lin Jun had already been busy in the kitchen. While cleaning up the dishes, they also packed up some food and daily necessities that had been prepared long ago, ready for the father and daughter to take back.

Lin Jun was carrying several bags filled with vegetables and fruits grown in his own home, as well as chicken and duck eggs, while Jiang Cuifen was holding a large box of carefully made snacks, which she had specially prepared for her daughter and granddaughter. Every bite was full of love.

"Jianhua, Yanyan, take all these with you. They are all grown at home and are very fresh!" Lin Jun said as he handed the bag to his son-in-law, his eyes full of love and reluctance for his children and grandchildren.

Jiang Cuifen also echoed, "There are also these snacks. Lu Ping and Yan Yan both like to eat them. You can take them back as snacks for her so that she won't go hungry."

Xie Jianhua looked at the things his parents had prepared, and his heart was filled with warmth. He pushed them away, refusing to accept them, and said with a smile, "Mom and Dad, we don't want them. You can keep them for yourselves."

"Jianhua, you kid, why are you being so polite to your parents?"

Lin Jun feigned anger and patted his son-in-law's shoulder, his tone carrying a certain unquestionable insistence, "These are just a small token of our appreciation. You're busy working outside, so it'll make you feel better to be able to eat vegetables grown at home. Besides, Yanyan is still growing, so she needs to eat more good food."

Jiang Cuifen also gently persuaded: "Yes, Jianhua, don't refuse. I specially made these snacks in the flavors you like. She will definitely be happy when she knows. Just accept them with peace of mind. When you come back next time, Mom will make you something delicious."

Xie Yan also snuggled up to her grandmother, holding the box of snacks tightly in her little hands, her eyes sparkling with excitement. She looked up at her grandparents and said sweetly, "Grandpa and grandma, I will miss you. Come and play with us again next time!"

Upon hearing this, Lin Jun and Jiang Cuifen showed relieved smiles on their faces. They nodded slightly, tears flashing in their eyes.

"Okay, okay, be careful on the road and come back often when you have time." Lin Jun's voice was a little choked, but he tried hard to control his emotions and not let the farewell become too sad.

Under the cover of night, Xie Jianhua and his daughter set out on their journey home with full of love and blessings.

Xie Yan couldn't understand why such a gentle and kind old man would have a daughter like Lin Luping.

Lin Luping often said that her grandmother was partial to her uncle, but what she saw was that her grandparents were partial to their daughter.

Even after Lin Luping got married, Jiang Cuifen would always bring her an egg whenever she had time to visit her.

Even after my grandfather passed away and my grandmother lived with my uncle and aunt, she was unable to rest without any source of income. She went out to pick up garbage every day and gave every penny of the money she earned to Lin Luping.

Xie Yan didn’t understand at first and thought her aunt was a bad woman.

But one day, she also became someone else's wife, and she suddenly understood her aunt's suffering.

No woman can accept her husband and mother-in-law unconditionally supporting her elder sister-in-law.

No woman can accept her elder sister-in-law speaking ill of her everywhere.

No woman can accept that her husband would be asked to deal with family disputes at her elder sister-in-law's house over a phone call, no matter what.

Thinking about it from another perspective, hasn’t Xie Yan’s aunt also suffered bullying from her husband’s family throughout her life?

It is understandable that my aunt hates Xie Yan's family.

Similarly, Xie Jianhua was secretly sighing in his heart. His father-in-law and mother-in-law were really good people and were so good to him, their son-in-law, that there was no word to slander them. It was just that Lin Luping was really ignorant.

A woman in her thirties, she doesn't take good care of her daughter, doesn't care about her daughter's studies, doesn't cherish her own job, always likes to make trouble, likes gambling and playing cards, and likes to compare with her best friends.

It’s not that he hasn’t tried to communicate with Lin Luping, but Lin Luping is a very difficult person to communicate with.

After trying to communicate with her several times and being told by Lin Luping that he had a mental problem, Xie Jianhua rarely communicated with her again.

After all, there is not much to say without speculation.

In their era, there was no such term as "three views not in line with each other".

Divorce will be ridiculed, and the reality of many marriages is that they are just getting by in name only.

For the sake of his daughter Xie Yan, Xie Jianhua strives to maintain the superficial warmth and harmony of the family.

Xie Yan inherited her father Xie Jianhua's intelligence and cleverness. Both father and daughter are far-sighted and observant people.

Both of them were thinking about their own lives, their thoughts on Lin Luping and their plans for the future.

In the whole family, only Lin Luping is carefree. If one does not plan for the future, he will have immediate worries.

But Lin Luping is very simple. She has no plans for her life and just lives a carefree life.

Therefore, Xie Yan and Xie Jianhua had no idea what Lin Luping was doing now.

In a slightly shabby house, the dim incandescent light sways, casting mottled light and shadows, giving the narrow space a hazy and mysterious color.

The air was filled with a faint smell of tobacco and an indescribable sense of tension, occasionally interspersed with a few low coughs, breaking the silence of the night.

An old wooden table occupied the center of the room, covered with a tablecloth that was so worn that its original color could no longer be seen. Scattered on it were several decks of playing cards, a few stacks of scattered banknotes and some coins, which reflected a faint but attractive glow in the dim light.

Sitting around the table was a group of people of different appearances, some with sly smiles on their faces, some with frowns, their eyes flashing with desire for victory and uneasiness about the unknown.

Some were wearing sloppy work clothes, as if they had just got off work from the factory; others were dressed relatively smartly, but the fatigue in their eyes was hard to conceal.

Among them, there are both elderly people over fifty years old and young people in their early twenties. At this moment, age, identity and background are no longer important here. Only the cards in their hands and the chips on the table determine their current identity - gamblers.

With each round of betting, card dealing and comparison, the atmosphere in the room was sometimes suffocatingly tense, and sometimes erupted into brief cheers or sighs due to an unexpected victory.

Some people's faces turned pale and their fingers trembled slightly because of consecutive defeats; others' mouths curled up and their eyes flashed with pride because of consecutive victories.

But regardless of winning or losing, everyone's face is filled with obsession and inability to extricate themselves from the game.

Under the dim light, time is stretched out, and every second is full of unknowns and variables.

The night outside the window is getting darker, but the gambling inside the house seems to be endless. People are looking for excitement, pleasure, and even a moment of tranquility to escape reality in this darkness.

In this seemingly simple game, countless broken families and ups and downs of life are hidden, but no one knows and no one is willing to face them.

Lin Luping was pulled here by Zhang Na. It was the first time she saw such a novel thing. Her eyes involuntarily widened a little, flashing with curiosity and excitement.

Lin Luping originally only played mahjong with colleagues or elders in the family compound. Her life was simple and regular, and she had never been involved in such an exciting and unknown occasion.

But at this moment, she was infected by Zhang Na's enthusiasm and was deeply attracted by the ever-changing cards and fluctuating chips on the table.

She sat down next to Zhang Na, her hands unconsciously clenched into fists, her heart beating faster, as if she was also part of this game.

As the betting progressed, Lin Luping's eyes gradually became blurred. At this moment, she was a gambler who was bewitched by the charm of gambling.
