Rebirth in the 90s: Her Counterattack and Redemption

Chapter 1198 - 715: Genuine Personality

”Zhang Xianglan, if you have the guts, kick it!” Fatty Sister-in-law shouted and looked at Luo Ye and Zhao Qianqian, ”She’s our Second Sister-in-law, usually doesn’t come over, but runs over eagerly now that something happened to my mother-in-law. What do you think she’s thinking? Does she really think others don’t know?”

Luo Ye and Zhao Qianqian exchanged a glance but said nothing. This Fatty Sister-in-law had been crying and pretending to be weak earlier, but now she was full of energy like a fighting rooster... Truly a good actress!

”Bang! Bang! Bang!...”

You could tell by the sound that the person kicking the door was using all their strength.

Fatty Sister-in-law got up, strutted over, suddenly pulled the door open and stepped aside. The Second Sister-in-law couldn’t stop in time and staggered forward two steps. She was about to regain her footing, but then with an ”Aiyo”, she stumbled forward and sat down on the ground.

Second Sister-in-law Li is a very thin woman with slightly dark skin and a pair of beautiful almond eyes, but her nose is flat and nostrils turned upwards, ruining her overall beauty.

She hissed as she got up, felt around below her, and found a smooth little bone. She frowned and threw it at Fatty Sister-in-law: ”You deliberately put a pig bone here to trip me? Your heart is too dark.”

”Second Aunt, this is mine.” Before Sister-in-law Li could speak, a small figure rushed over and snatched the little bone from Second Sister-in-law Li’s hand.

Sister-in-law Li shot a sideways glance at Second Sister-in-law Li on the ground: ”Zhang Xianglan, have you taken care of Dad and Mom all these years? Now you see something’s happened to Mom, you run over and make a scene. Pat your chest and ask your conscience, do you still count as a person?”

”And you? You come over often, but is it to take care of Dad and Mom? Pat your chest and ask your conscience, who has taken more advantage of Mom and Dad over the years, huh? In front of Da Mao and Xiao Mao, can you say anything human?” Da Mao and Xiao Mao are Sister-in-law Li’s two sons.

It turns out, Li Baohan’s wife is still in unknown condition, but the two daughters-in-law are already thinking about the house. Raising children like this, better not raise them!

Luo Ye and Zhao Qianqian really had no interest in watching these two women babble on. They exchanged a glance and got up to leave.

Sister-in-law Li quickly dropped Second Sister-in-law Li and grabbed Zhao Qianqian’s sleeve: ”Little sister, little sister, wait a little longer. My father-in-law is coming back soon, just wait a bit.”

”Who is this?” Second Sister-in-law Li looked Luo Ye and Zhao Qianqian up and down, her eyes gradually filled with an indescribable meaning, ”Looking for Dad? What’s your relationship with Dad?”

”What do you think?” Luo Ye looked at her with a stern face.

”People say city folks are flashy. Dad’s only been in the city for a short time and he’s already learned from them, even bringing someone back home. Tsk tsk...” Second Sister-in-law Li looked at Sister-in-law Li, ”Li Cuixia, are you stupid? Even if this house is split between our two families, it shouldn’t fall into an outsider’s hands.”

Luo Ye felt as if a group of crows flew over her head. She originally thought Sister-in-law Li was already pathetic enough, but it turned out Second Sister-in-law Li was even more pathetic. Doesn’t she consider how old her father-in-law is, imagining such things?

”I’d rather give it to them. They truly have sincere intentions towards Dad, unlike you, who only know how to take advantage.”

Upon hearing Sister-in-law Li intentionally leaving things unsaid, Luo Ye lost her patience and shook off Sister-in-law Li’s chubby hand: ”Talking like this, don’t you feel you’re insulting your father-in-law?”

”Look at you, flattering the wrong horse.” Second Sister-in-law Li laughed smugly, ”You think you can pull in help? Let me tell you, city people have big appetites. They won’t even think about sharing with you.”

They really are a pair of unreasonable people. Luo Ye gave the two women a glance, swung the door open, and left. Zhao Qianqian snorted and quickly followed her out.

”Little sister, little sister...” Sister-in-law Li was planning to chase after them; she didn’t want to offend these two Grandma Wealth Gods. The things they brought today were worth hundreds of dollars...

Second Sister-in-law Li clicked her tongue, stretching her voice: ”Oh, longing for them, Sister-in-law. What kind of evil have you fallen into this time?”

”You know nothing!” Sister-in-law Li regretted she hadn’t said it because... thinking about it makes sense; city girls, fresh and young, being treated like this, how could they not be angry?

Oh, later they probably won’t come back, she could only take advantage this once. As she thought of this, she quickly closed the inside door, muttering, ”Da Mao, Ermao, hurry up with your homework; don’t go out and play.” Turning around, she saw Luo Ye and Zhao Qianqian enter again, grinning: ”Old Second’s wife, these two girls are newly assigned actors. They met Dad on the way and came to our house for Mom.”

Luo Ye and Zhao Qianqian didn’t pause their steps and went into the inner room. Before anyone could react, the two had already carried several bags of things and headed out.

”Little sister...” Only when the two were out of sight did Sister-in-law Li react, pushing Second Sister-in-law Li and quickly chasing after. But with her pace, there was no way she could catch up with Luo Ye and Zhao Qianqian.

Turning onto the street, getting into Zhang Chaoyong’s taxi, Zhao Qianqian looked at Luo Ye nervously and whispered, ”Luoluo, what should we do with these things?”

Earlier, the two had reached the car, but Luo Ye suddenly spun around and walked back. She thought the other just wanted to stay a bit longer, but as they got closer to the door, Luo Ye suddenly said: ”Even if we feed them to the dogs, we won’t let them have them. Take everything away.”

And then... she just followed and took the stuff out.

”Feed the dogs!”

Zhang Chaoyong’s lips twitched as he sized up Luo Ye, whose anger hadn’t subsided yet. He touched his nose and cautiously asked, ”Miss Ye’er, where to now?”

After a moment of silence, Luo Ye sighed, ”To Li Baohan’s brother’s house.”

”Okay.” Zhang Chaoyong responded and drove the car away.

”Do you know the place?” Zhao Qianqian asked with a puzzled face.

”We’re nine people.” Zhang Chaoyong replied simply.

”Oh, oh, oh...” Zhao Qianqian nodded in realization, right, these guys aren’t real taxi drivers. After a moment of hesitation, she looked at Luo Ye, ”Luoluo, I’m going to ask a question I shouldn’t; if it’s inconvenient to answer, you don’t need to tell me.”

”Go ahead.”

”What do your parents do? It seems I’ve never heard you mention them.”

”My mom is a housewife, and my dad is a civil servant.” This answer... is correct.

”Your dad wouldn’t be...” Zhao Qianqian’s eyes widened suddenly, ”Wouldn’t be...”

”Yes.” Luo Ye nodded in admission. This time, the mission determined that she couldn’t hide her dad’s position as the Governor of Ludong Province from Zhao Qianqian.

Zhao Qianqian was stunned for a while. When she looked at Luo Ye again, there was a hint of admiration in her eyes, ”Luoluo, many in our team don’t accept you, as you know. In the past, including myself, maybe we had some thoughts, but now, there’s none at all.”

”This kind of praise is a bit much for me.” Luo Ye smiled sheepishly, ”Earlier, did I act particularly childish?”

Earlier, in a fit of rage, she merely wanted Sister-in-law Li not to take any advantage. Now, as her anger dissipated, she felt a bit embarrassed. Sister-in-law Li and Second Sister-in-law Li were not good, but the kids were innocent; all the things were for the kids to eat. Thinking of the look in the two boys’ eyes when they walked away with the stuff, she felt so childish.

”No, your behavior earlier was really cool.” Zhao Qianqian giggled, ”Actually, it’s not cool, it’s just very relatable. Normally, you’re too calm, not like a girl your age at all; it’s... it’s better as you were earlier.”

Zhang Chaoyong cleared his throat and his lips twitched again, Luo Ye turned her gaze to him, ”Are you laughing at me?”

”No, not at all...” Zhang Chaoyong scratched his head, ”I... I just remembered Young Master when he was little. Once the school organized students to visit a nursing home, Young Master went and bought lots of things. Ends up, the old man Young Master gave the stuff to turned around and gave it to his own son, who happened to be a troublesome guy. Young Master heard about it from someone and silently took the stuff back from that old man’s son’s house, which the son complained to the school.”

”Oh, so it turned out like that, no wonder they’re in the same family...” Zhao Qianqian laughed, looking at Luo Ye before stretching her head towards Zhang Chaoyong, ”What happened after the complaint to the school?”

”It was dropped, of course. The school can’t buy stuff to give to that son again, besides, the principal and teachers knew his behavior, they couldn’t condone his attitude.

Since then, Young Master never went again for things like that, not because he lacks empathy, but Young Master felt there’s no use in such superficial efforts.”

”He definitely has a strong personality.” Zhao Qianqian appraised Luo Ye, ”Luoluo, you could do something like that too, right?”

”I agree with his approach.” Luo Ye shrugged, ”Some things are just like that; truly, being kind doesn’t always pay off. For such situations, better not to be kind at all; that’s my point of view.”

Zhao Qianqian’s eyes dimmed a bit, ”When people get old, really... I’m really afraid of growing old one day, not because I’m afraid of looking bad, but afraid of being disliked.

My grandpa and grandma don’t have pensions and aren’t in good health. My uncles and aunts push the responsibility around, unwilling to care for them. My parents had no choice but to take up the responsibility of taking care of Grandpa and Grandma.

But with the conditions at my home and considering Grandpa and Grandma, life was more than tough. At that time, I was embarrassed to eat with classmates at school.”

”That’s different; as children, supporting elderly parents is a duty. This can’t be called being kind without results. Look at you now; you should be the most promising kid in the Zhao family, right?”

”That’s true.”

”So that’s settled, things are quite fair after all.” Luo Ye patted her and sighed lightly, ”Every family has its own challenges. My family has been the same.”

Today’s update is delivered.

Nu’an isn’t feeling well today, initially thought of not updating and waiting until tomorrow. But considering stopping might hurt those who’ve been supporting Nu’an, I forced a Chapter out. Tomorrow, depending on my physical condition, I’ll decide whether to make up for it or not. Ugh, feeling horrible, I’m going to sleep. (To be continued.
