There is Room For Abandoned Women In the 1980s

Chapter 603 Are you hiding any secrets from me?

“Xinyue, are you hiding any secrets from your mother?”

Gao Guilan looked at her daughter seriously, and she directly asked her doubts without beating around the bush.

“Mom, there is indeed something I haven’t told you.”

Zheng Xinyue stopped what she was doing and spoke with difficulty. She was wondering how much she should confess.

If she said that she was a soul from modern times, but Gao Guilan's daughter had died in the water long ago, would she be able to bear it?

 “Mom, listen!”

Seeing the troubled look in her daughter's eyes, Gao Guilan clenched her hands suddenly, but still comforted her with difficulty.

"I saw the ancestor of the Zheng family when I narrowly escaped death in the water. He pushed me ashore and told me to live a good life in the future. The secret recipe for treating my face was given to me by my ancestor. The ginseng water I fed my sister-in-law was actually a miracle medicine for bringing back the dead. It was also given to me by my ancestors.”

Zheng Xinyue thought about it countless times, but she did not tell the truth to Gao Guilan. She lowered her head and whispered lies, feeling extremely guilty in her heart.

 “What about the things in the barn?”

Gao Guilan covered her heart. She was superstitious, but she couldn't bear the shock when it was her family's turn.

 “It was also sent by the ancestors.”

Zheng Xinyue lowered her head, feeling guilty for deceiving her mother who loved her so much, but she couldn't say that she couldn't tell Gao Guilan that her daughter was dead.

Who can bear it?

 “Huh? That’s it! Mom needs to slow down.”

Gao Guilan held her hand on the door frame and felt that her legs were no longer working.

With her eye circles getting redder and redder, she clasped her palms together and muttered to herself: "Thank you ancestors for saving Xinyue, thank you ancestors for sending us food and good things when they knew we wouldn't survive."

Zheng Xinyue accepted it after seeing her mother believe it. Now the only thing she hides from her mother is her space and that she comes from modern times.

Things about space are unbelievable to Mom. She won’t believe it at all. She would rather believe in her ancestors. To be honest, if she hasn’t experienced it herself, she won’t believe that there are such weird things as space and time travel.

“When the Chinese New Year comes, mom will definitely buy more burning paper to express gratitude to our ancestors.”

Gao Guilan touched her daughter's face, her eyes filled with panic of what had been lost and found. If her ancestors didn't show up in time, her happy moon would be gone.

Zheng Xinyue blinked. It seemed that it was time to get rid of feudal superstition. Is it okay for mom to burn paper?

Mr. Gu ignored Zheng Dakui's obstruction and followed the farmers in the field to harvest. The old man was still not convinced that the young people competed with them, so Zheng Dakui had to help him harvest together, but was driven away by the old man.

　　"You help me to defeat the enemy, and then you can go out on your own."

Zheng Dakui had no choice but to watch the old man working. Gu Meijiao was almost tired and crying. Grandpa was as excited and capable as an old cow when working, and he forced her to work with him.

But she was so miserable that she couldn't pull out the beet, as if it had roots, and she couldn't use tools. After a while, her palms were blistered and painful, and she burst into tears.

“It’s really useless, look at those little girls who are about the same age as you, how fast they do it?”

Mr. Gu noticed his granddaughter's miserable expression when he was straightening up to rest, so he scolded her with a straight face.

Gu Meijiao is about to cry but has no tears. Can she compare with those girls? I have been doing farm work all year round, but I have never been to the fields. My grandfather drove me to the farm.

“Meijiao, that’s good. It’s the first time Xinyue went to the ground and couldn’t even pull out a potato seedling.”

Zheng Dakui helped Gu Meijiao out of the siege. Gu Meijiao suddenly became energetic. She raised her chin and said proudly to her grandfather: "Grandpa, you heard me! I'm pretty good."
