Rebirth in the 50s: The Couple with the Hidden Space

Chapter 1337 - 1209: I’m a Girl

Little Jiu frowned at the mention, "Is this okay? Won’t it be rude?"Wu suddenly grabbed her hand and started walking, "You’re just a young girl, why worry so much? Didn’t we already say hi to them? They’re having a nice chat now, making room for them is great."

Little Jiu looked speechlessly at the hand holding hers and tried to pull it away.

"What’s the matter? Hurry up and walk." Wu immediately tightened his grip, teasing, "Do you feel like your hand doesn’t look like a young girl’s hand at all?

But, I think it’s fine. I’ll find some medicine for you to apply later, and in no more than a few months, any scars or frostbite will be gone."

Little Jiu glared at his back, sighing to herself: I am female, I am female, yet you don’t find it strange holding my hand?

"Ugly girl, even though I can’t be your uncle, I’ll treat you like my niece. If you need anything, just speak up. After all, you’re the little girl Third Young Master Zhou brought home; we can’t make a fool of ourselves. No need to avoid people in the future, that’s too petty."

Little Jiu rolled her eyes.

"Whatever my mom gives you, just accept it. Don’t be shy. When you learn well and return, just remember to show my mom proper respect."

"It’s a pity you have to go abroad. How great it would be if you stayed at our place. Shame I met you too late; otherwise, you’d learn a lot beside my mom."

"I mean, how will you manage alone abroad? You’re so naive, even if bullied, you wouldn’t speak up. It’s good being at the Big Courtyard, and luckily the Zheng Family didn’t go out of their way to harm you."

"You’re like this." Wu glanced at her helplessly and shook his head, continuing forward with a sigh, "Meet someone more cunning, and they’d leave not even a trace of your bones."

"I’m telling you, don’t think everything’s rosy abroad. It’s worse there. Not to mention racial discrimination, someone like you would just be bullied.

In more serious cases, you’ll be robbed of money and dignity, understand? Luckily, you’re a little ugly. Otherwise, I’d really worry as an ’uncle’."

Wu sighed repeatedly while speaking. His long stride almost caused Little Jiu to stumble and fall.

Little Jiu rolled her eyes in exasperation and quickly jogged to catch up. She’s seen through Third Young Master Zhou, his ability to monologue is truly strong.

"Tell me, why would a young girl like you want to go abroad? How about staying in the country and finishing university?"

"That’s not happening!"

Wu paused, "Really want to go abroad? Well, everyone has their own ambitions. Initially, I hoped you’d stay in the country, for one, you’re young; two, even if it’s government-funded, it won’t cover all expenses; three, if I give a heads-up before I leave, no one in the country would dare bully you."

Little Jiu pouted slightly, "I have to go abroad."

Wu didn’t mind her muttered insistence and readily agreed, "Alright then, going abroad won’t fall through. As for money, I’ll earn some more outside to support you."

Lucky Liu Yi didn’t hear this; otherwise, she’d grill you, Third Young Master Zhou, why would she need your money? Aren’t you embarrassed?

"That’s not necessary, my money is enough."

"Are you silly?" Wu chuckled, "Do you think expenses are the same at home and abroad? Even if Zheng Jiaquan pays you back, I’ve calculated it, that money at most supports you for a year and a half."

"And not considering your foster allowance ends once you’re 18 at year’s end, even if given, what can 10 bucks do? It might not even be enough for noodles abroad."

"I inquired earlier from those seniors who went abroad, they had to work alongside studying, know how much they earn monthly?

The government gives them 56 bucks monthly as a fellowship, that’s still short, surprising, isn’t it? You’re 18, not 8, these issues must be considered.

I’ll think again, if I can’t earn abroad, then I’ll see if mom can help you; otherwise, it’s tough planning for you to study abroad."

Saying this, Wu anxiously added, "Of course, my mom’s money should be repaid. But no interest needed, just treat my mom well in the future."

See~ How clever he is, investing for his mother’s benefit first. See, this girl’s learning ability is decent, clear-eyed, and her character seems good so far.

Little Jiu paused, looking down at the large hand holding hers.

"What’s up?" Wu looked at her strangely.

Little Jiu withdrew her hand with a complex expression, succeeding this time. She looked at him seriously, "Are you this enthusiastic with everyone?"

Upon hearing this, Wu raised his eyebrows slightly, "Try it with someone else next time?"

"Oh." Little Jiu smiled, pushing him, "Hurry up, weren’t we going to the backyard? Everyone knows Third Young Master Zhou is the nicest."

Wu scratched his head, glaring at her, "Young girl, that’s what’s wrong, always being weird. Don’t learn petty things, spend more time with my mom, learn a lot from her."

Little Jiu rolled her eyes, "You really admire Auntie?"

"Of course, no one is as perfect as my mom in this world. So I said it’s a shame; if you grew up by my mom’s side, how great would it be.

Look at Little Tangtang, so pretty, smart, capable, and so cute. She learned a lot from my mom, even embroidered cats look real."

Little Jiu smiled knowingly, "If I’m not mistaken, she’s your second brother’s."

"Oh, you noticed that too? Not bad, not completely clueless." Wu praised, then chuckled lightly, "This girl’s been determined to marry my little brother since young, so quirky, my little brother is peculiar too, he loves that about her. Unless something unexpected happens, she’s my little sister-in-law."

Little Jiu exhaled, murmuring, "People are truly different; she landed in a good family, so fortunate."

"Can’t say it like that, there are others with better backgrounds, but she also works hard. Our Little Tangtang is so cute, not like other girls.

Getting to know her more, you’ll see how thoughtful she is. You’re not inferior to her; although not as pretty, growing strong like a weed is a kind of beauty. You’re resilient, and that’s an advantage."

"Really?"

Little Jiu looked at his back, smiling with squinted eyes, as for being ugly? She’s become numb hearing it because Third Young Master Zhou prefers calling her the ugly girl.

Though she doesn’t think she looks worse than Yi Tangtang, her mom’s a beauty, her dad’s handsome, before she came here...

Oh well, she won’t argue this with him. Comparisons can hurt; the Zhou Family does look good.

Like the one before her, being the most handsome man she’s seen growing up, no wonder Zheng Shuya went crazy collecting his info.

Thinking of Zheng Shuya darkened Little Jiu’s gaze. How can someone like her match up to the one in front? How does she dare fantasize?
