Rebirth: She is Ready for a Counterattack!-Chapter 117: Found

"Dad, stop talking, I’m definitely going to sell this house. Snow Mei and I will have Xiaoying, Xiaoqing, and Xiao Jie when we get old. I can earn a house again, but I have to find our children."

Gu Ruhai no longer wanted to see the expression on Mr. Gu’s face, not even a little bit.

His own father, the grandfather of his children, only three days!

In just three days, he already had thoughts of dividing up our family property.

Is this for our own good, or for someone else’s good?

Mrs. Gu couldn’t stand it anymore and sat on the ground, slapping her thighs as she cried, "What a calamity, I raised an ungrateful wolf, not listening to the words of his own parents. Gu Ruhai, you unfilial son, if you dare to sell this house today, I’ll die right in front of you. If you don’t even want your old mother anymore, then sell it."

Jiang Xiulan was anxious in her heart too.

She had initially stirred up this matter, still eyeing the eldest’s house. This was a new house; the price was set there, and when her son Gu Xiaocheng marries in the future, wouldn’t it still be surplus?

This was indeed respectable.

The main thing was if it got sold by the eldest today, why should her university-educated son support the eldest in his old age?

How could such a thing be so easy? 𝘧𝓇𝑒𝑒𝑤ℯ𝑏𝓃𝘰𝑣ℯ𝘭.𝘤ℴ𝘮

So she stepped forward and said to Gu Ruhai, "Elder brother, Mom is getting old, you can’t let her just sit on the ground like this, if she gets sick, you tell me, who’s going to take responsibility, yours or all of ours?

Besides, Mom’s words are also for the good of both elder brother and sister-in-law. We’re not eyeing your house, but what you’re doing is going against the wishes of your parents, isn’t that unfilial?"

Gu Ruhai sneered, knowing that his second sister-in-law was famously sharp-tongued, not someone he could contend with. But to think he would hand over his property to others for nothing was just a dream.

His mother, he knew well, just waiting to pin him down. The more you let her have her way, the more she comes at you.

The sister-in-law was just fanning the flames.

It seemed this family never lacked people who schemed.

The curtain lifted, and Gu Xiaoying helped support Li Xuemei, who stood trembling at the doorway, her face pale, and pointed a shaking finger at Mrs. Gu on the ground, shouting hoarsely, "Get out, all of you get out. We don’t acknowledge you as family. You’re all waiting for our children to die off so you can inherit the property. I’m telling you, dream on; even if I sell it, smash it, or give it away, you’ll never get your hands on it, you wolves.

You are a bunch of wolves, waiting with your mouths open to eat our flesh and drink our blood. Even if we have no children, we won’t need any of you to take care of us in our old age. Our Xiaoqing and Xiao Jie will return, I’m sure of it."

These words drained all of Li Xuemei’s energy, and she collapsed to the ground.

Gu Xiaoying couldn’t support her from afar.

Gu Ruhai took two steps forward and caught Li Xuemei in his arms, his eyes full of guilt, for it was his doing.

He had ruined this lovely woman into this state.

"Dear, don’t get upset; we don’t have such relatives. Don’t worry, I know what to do."

Li Xuemei was panting heavily.

Jiang Xiulan angrily slammed the door curtain and walked out, "You want us out, fine, just don’t come begging us later. Let’s see who’s begging whom. If you don’t want to acknowledge this family, then don’t. Who cares? Our good intentions are taken as donkey’s liver and lungs."

She left.

Mrs. Gu wanted to cry some more.

Mr. Gu glared, if people outside heard about this, the two of them wouldn’t be able to live.

He had said there was no rush.

This wasn’t something urgent, yet the wife had to hurry. It’s just been three days, and it’s a hornet’s nest now.

He was also a father. If his child was forced to act like they were heirless after only three days, he would be scolding people too.

This wasn’t the time to continue pressuring Gu Ruhai; there was plenty of time for that later.

Mr. Gu said to Gu Ruhai, "Son, you don’t have to say anything. I know your mother and I are a bit anxious, but it’s for your good. Don’t be anxious; maybe the children can still be found. Take Xuemei inside to rest, her health needs to be looked after."

Gu Ruhai supported Li Xuemei into the house.

His heart was very cold, a chill on his back.

His heart felt as cold as the weather in the wax moon.

The front door banged open.

"Gu Ruhai, someone is looking for you; they say they’ve found your children."

Aunt Zhang from next door came in with a tall, thin man, loudly announcing.

Li Xuemei was startled, gripping Gu Ruhai’s arm tightly, her fingernails digging into the flesh. Gu Ruhai supported Li Xuemei out.

Anxiously looking toward the visitor, he asked, "Elder brother, which village are you from? Where are our children?"

Gu Ruhai didn’t recognize this person, not even slightly familiar.

Li Xuemei also asked, "Elder brother, are the children okay?"

Mrs. Gu’s heart skipped a beat, could the children really be found?

It’s over, she had completely offended the eldest.

Mr. Gu also felt a heaviness in his heart.

But he still appeared calm, listening as the man spoke.

"You’re Gu Ruhai, right? I’m from Songjiapu, five hundred miles away. Your daughter and son were caught by traffickers and ended up in our place. The children are fine; send someone from your family, it even alerted the local police, there were a dozen children rescued.

This time, thanks to your daughter, she’s amazing, she bit off a chunk of the trafficker’s flesh with one bite, and even with broken ribs, she managed to explain things to us, that’s how they got saved.

You should go quickly."

The man didn’t speak very clearly, but it was enough to scare Li Xuemei and Gu Ruhai into a cold sweat.

Hearing this, the two children had clearly suffered.

Li Xuemei stood up instantly, pulling Gu Ruhai, saying, "Dear, let’s go quickly, borrow a carriage from Uncle Kuaizi, and let’s go."

Gu Ruhai nodded repeatedly, agreeing as he prepared to leave.

Aunt Zhang held him back, "I’ll go borrow it, you tidy up a bit at home. Anyway, my Zhang Zijie’s there too, we’ll go together. You can also ask him clearly."

Seeing this family looking like they had lost everything these past three days softened Aunt Zhang’s heart.

She herself had someone to rely on, the family was united, the brothers all set out to find the children, it was tough, but at least they had comforting words and people to console them, unlike Gu Ruhai’s family.

It was just too hard.

This family’s days really struggled.

Gu Ruhai didn’t stand on ceremony, his mind had already flown away by now, he couldn’t focus on anything else.

Five hundred miles away.

How did the two children get taken?

Aunt Zhang borrowed a carriage, and both families got on it and set out following the directions.

Li Xuemei, Gu Ruhai, and Gu Xiaoying were all on the carriage.
