Rebirth in the 90s: Her Counterattack and Redemption

Chapter 1475: Chapter 861: Departure (4)

Mr. Wang snapped back to reality first and said, ”Okay, as long as you live well, I and your mother will manage.”

”Xia, did they really agree, twelve hundred a month?” Madam Wang also snapped back to reality and her first question was about the wages.

Li Zexia nodded cheerfully, ”Yes, it’s settled, Mom don’t worry, it’s Mayor Luo’s friend; they wouldn’t be making fun of us.”

”Dad, Mom, you’re leaving? Leaving me and Grandpa at home?” Zhuangzhuang pouted, his eyes filling with tears, trying very hard to hold them in.

Li Zexia hugged her son, ”Zhuang, Dad and Mom are doing this so you’ll have a brighter future. Going to university and marrying will cost a lot of money, Dad and Mom need to make money for you first, otherwise in a few years, they’ll be unable to work and earn.”

”I’ll earn money for you when I grow up.” The little boy nestled in his mom’s arms, ”Even without money, I can study hard and get out, Dad, Mom, I want you at home.”

”Silly son, Dad and Mom will come back to see you every month, it’s not like they’re gone for a year.” Li Zexia’s voice also choked, ”No one to fight over food with you, that’s great.”

”I like Mom fighting over food with me.” The little boy sniffled pathetically, ”Mom, I’ll save food for you in the future, please don’t go, okay?”

”Why don’t we...” Li Zexia hesitated and looked at Mr. and Madam Wang, ”Why don’t we take Zhuangzhuang with us, let him experience the world too? Anyway, he can start school a year later.”

Mr. and Madam Wang’s faces changed slightly, if all three were leaving... without a son at home, with a grandson there was some comfort, but if the grandson was also gone...

Wang Desheng hesitated, ”Dad, Mom, how about you come along too?”

”No.” Mr. Wang waved his hand, ”You two go first and see, if it’s suitable, bring Zhuangzhuang over, if not, leave him here for school.”

”I’ll stay home with Grandpa and Grandma, I’m not going anywhere.” The little boy said very firmly.

”Good child.” Madam Wang touched her grandson’s little cheek, tears welled up in her eyes, ”Zhuangzhuang, let your Dad and Mom go see first, if it’s viable, it’s good to bring you along to experience the world.”

When Grandpa and Grandma miss you, they’ll call, wait until Zhuangzhuang succeeds, and then take Grandpa and Grandma out to enjoy life.”

”Mom...” Wang Desheng looked embarrassed.

”You and Xia are filial, I know.” Madam Wang wiped the corner of her eye, ”I’m talking to my grandson, don’t take it to heart.”

...

Two days later, Luo Ye and the entourage picked up Granny Qi’s family, ready to depart. Along with them were Wang Desheng and Li Zexia, first heading with the vehicle to Sha City, then traveling with Xia Yingru to Beijing.

Xia Yingru’s choice on that day was that Li Zexia could go alone, or take her husband along, or not go. Of course, these choices were decided by Zhu Hongyu, and she could only agree unconditionally.

Actually, it was quite bitter inside, thinking about when had she, the lady, ever been mastered? And being dominated without any chance of revenge, oh, it’s tough!

Before leaving, Granny and Granny Qi hugged each other and cried, crying so hard they were breathless. Luo Ye quickly stepped forward to separate the two old ladies, ”Granny, don’t cry, rest assured, we’ll bring Granny Qi back to see you every year...”

Granny continued to cry, ”I don’t know if I’ll be alive by then...”

Luo Ye felt exasperated, ”You’re so healthy; how can you talk like that?”

”No matter how healthy, I can’t withstand age; who knows what may happen tomorrow?” Granny sniffled as she spoke.

Ying Nuo immediately fetched tissues to help her blow her nose, ”Granny, as long as you don’t cry, you’ll definitely live to a hundred. We agreed you’d help me take care of my kids, you can’t go back on that!”

Luo Ye and Zhu Hongyu’s mouths twitched simultaneously, using a trick like that to cheer someone up; Miss Shangguan was really quite fierce.

After saying that, Ying Nuo felt regret, her cheeks burning like a cooked lobster, glaring furiously at Luo Ye and Zhu Hongyu, ”Anyone who laughs, I’ll beat up!”

”We’re not laughing.” Luo Ye spread his hands, ”You’re imagining things.”

With all the fuss made by the youngsters, Granny calmed down and smiled, ”All right, every year you must come see me, Nuonuo, when you have a baby you have to bring me to see the baby.”

Luo Feng amusingly held her, ”Sure, we’ll definitely bring you, even if she doesn’t, I’m here, right?” Having been neighbors with the old lady for so long, Luo Feng had long since treated her like his own grandma.

”Oh, I forgot about Xiao Feng, never mind, you should leave early, it’s not safe if you can’t see ahead when it gets dark.” The old lady waved her hands as she spoke.

Everyone: ”...”

Over there, Li Zexia’s couple was also crying in a heap, seeing them off were Mr. Wang, Madam Wang, Father Li, and Mrs. Li, with Little Zhuangzhuang squeezed in between.

The little boy was sensible, having reached an agreement with his parents, and though still crying, was not stubbornly preventing them from leaving.

”Sis! Sis...”

Just as everyone was about to get into the car, from afar, a figure staggeringly ran over, seemingly holding a large bag.

”What’s she doing here?” Granny Qi furrowed her brows, ”Second Sister, I’m leaving, don’t have any dealings with her anymore; we don’t have a sister like that.”

”Okay.” Granny nodded vigorously, ”I regretted sending Ni over there last time, can’t have any dealings anymore.”

Luo Ye glanced over; she recognized that it was Granny and Granny Qi’s top-grade third sister, who seemed to have ”woken up,” and came to see them off.

By the time the top-grade third sister arrived, all that was left for her was a thin wisp of smoke.

”Sis! Sis...” the top-grade third sister chased after them a few steps, annoyed, she threw down the bag she was holding, ”I dried some dates for her to help nourish her; how could she just leave like that...oh!”

”Take them back and nourish yourself.” Granny pursed her lips, turned around to leave, while Luo Feng and Li Zejun supported her on both sides.

”Second Sister, haha...” the top-grade third sister eagerly approached, her eyes darting over Luo Feng and Li Zejun’s faces, grinning more widely, ”Second Sister really is blessed.”

”Third Aunt, my mom’s tired and not in a good mood.” The daughter behind Granny couldn’t stand it anymore, pushing the top-grade third sister back, ”You said it yourself last time, our family only knows how to take advantage, it’s disgraceful to have relatives like us. We’ve realized we can’t take advantage of you anymore, can’t let you be disgraced, don’t worry.”

”This girl, look at her...” the top-grade third sister grinned shamelessly, ”you took it seriously, that day I happened to be dealing with something, wasn’t in a good mood, and vented on you.”
