Rebirth in the 90s: Her Counterattack and Redemption

Chapter 94: Chapter 77 Oh, Self-Inflicted Misery

The next morning, Luo Dongping’s family, accompanied by Grandpa Luo, went to the cemetery to pay respects to their father. As expected, they encountered the families of Luo Dongli and Luo Dongfang at the cemetery. Fortunately, with Grandpa Luo present, the other party did not dare to be too reckless, avoiding any major conflict.

Returning from the cemetery, Luo Dongping’s face looked extremely troubled. Grandpa Luo sighed lightly, ”Dongping, nearly 20 years of effort have not brought any improvement. Continuing to persist like this is futile. You have always been aware of it, so why torment yourself so stubbornly?”

Luo Dongping wiped his face, ”Uncle, even now, I vividly remember the scene where my eldest and second brothers fought desperately to save me from the reservoir. If not for Uncle Feng Tong, who was passing by and was a good swimmer, it really would have been a case of trading two lives for one. Since I was young, my mother has always reminded me that without my elder brothers, I wouldn’t have survived. For many years, I dared not forget this life-saving grace, so I always thought about making amends. Alas, this trip back, we might not return until after the ninth year of my father’s passing. I hope they won’t treat me this way then.”

”Dad, they saved you because their carelessness caused you to fall into the reservoir, and their desperation was more out of fear of our parents’ punishment. Carrying this burden is meaningless!” Luo Shuiqing’s voice carried a deep resentment.

”Shuishui...” Luo Dongping waved his hand, ”Forget it, let’s not try to persuade each other. We won’t be coming back for another six years anyway. What’s the point of arguing over this?”

”What about the property? After six years? Dad, if it weren’t for not wanting to let them off so easily, I would have sued them already. Just wait, it won’t take six years, I’ll find my own way to reclaim the property!” Luo Shui bowed deeply to Grandpa Luo, ”Fourth Grandpa, I will not forget your kindness; whoever treats Luo Shui and my sister well, I will surely repay them manifold!”

Grandpa Luo smiled and waved his hand, ”Luo Shui, Grandpa helps you not for repayment, as long as you are well, nothing else matters.”

”Uncle, I really can’t thank you enough this time. I know you lack nothing, so I’ll pass this favor on to Fourth instead. Although I can’t help him much, I can still improve his political performance a bit.” Luo Dongping glanced at the time, ”Uncle, we really have to hurry now, I have a meeting with clients this afternoon. It’d be too late if we delay any longer.”

”Alright, if you’re busy, then go ahead. I’ll be heading to Fourth’s place after a while, we can meet more often then. You and Fourth are cousins after all. Wait a moment.”

Grandpa Luo went to a side room and took out a small basket with a lid: ”Ye’er guessed you would be in a rush to go back, she repeatedly asked me to give this to you, Yangyang loves strawberries, take a basket with you.”

Luoyang had tears in his eyes, ”Grandpa Luo, when will Sister Ye’er come back? I want to say goodbye to her.”

”In about an hour or so.”

Qiu Ya sighed lightly, ”Unfortunately, we can’t wait due to our tight schedule, Uncle. Ye’er is a thoughtful and kind child. Yangyang told me yesterday that Ye’er asked her to go to our house to play after returning. Please, say thanks to her on our behalf.”

”That child is really good to those she likes, if she doesn’t like someone, she doesn’t bother interacting, you haven’t seen how she treats her third aunt, it infuriates her third aunt a lot.” Grandpa Luo said helplessly with a smile, ”She genuinely likes Yangyang, and it’s fate indeed. No need for thanks.”

”Uncle, we’ll accept the strawberries, I like Ye’er, the child. Please tell her that if she ever needs anything from Luo Dongping, just ask. I may not have other merits, but I value loyalty!” Luo Dongping said as he picked up the small basket and led the way out.

”Hold on, Luo Shui...” Grandpa Luo patted his head, ”See, I’m getting old, I almost forgot.” He said as he went back to his room to fetch a stack of documents: ”These are from Ye’er for you, Yangyang said you run a software company. Ye’er is also quite interested in it, she told me to give these ’ghost talismans’ to you; she said you’d understand them at a glance.”

Ghost talisman? Luo Shui twitched his mouth, took it, and slipped it into his bag: ”Thanks, Grandpa Luo, I’ll take a good look when I get back.”

”Ye’er...” Seeing Luo Shui not seeming to value the stack of materials, Grandpa Luo seemed to want to remind him of something but then waved his hand, ”Never mind, I don’t understand it anyway. You handle it.”

”Grandpa Luo, please tell Sister Ye’er to remember to call me when she gets back. We made plans to go hiking together.” Luoyang’s eyes were red, ”Besides my brother, Sister Ye’er is the person I love the most.”
