Rebirth: She is Ready for a Counterattack!-Chapter 146 - 145: Apologizing in Person (Part 2)

The meal is ready.

Li Xuemei brought the three children back, and it was already very dark.

Li Weimin and Li Weiqiang didn’t say much, they first arranged for Li Xuemei and her family to settle down.

Originally, they planned to take Li Xuemei and the three children to stay in the small second floor of their own house, but Li Xuemei didn’t want to move and didn’t want to trouble her brother and sister-in-law, so she stayed here.

Not a word was spoken that night.

The next day, as soon as it was dawn.

Li Xuemei hadn’t gotten up yet, and the three children were still in bed.

The door of the Li Family was knocked on.

Li Qinghai threw on a piece of clothing and went to open the door; the old man hadn’t slept the whole night either.

Thinking back and forth all night.

"Who is it?"

Gu Xiaoqing was already awake and happened to hear the sound of the door opening.

"Dad, it’s me, Ruhai."

Li Qinghai had just opened the door a crack and closed it with a bang.

The old man had a temper, too.

His daughter suffered such grievances, how could he, as a father, not stand up, letting others bully her?

Gu Ruhai had barely slept and rushed over as soon as it was a bit light.

He knew Li Xuemei would definitely be at her parents’ house.

Lying in bed all night, Gu Ruhai hadn’t slept, thinking for a long time, the more he thought, the more he felt like he was a bastard, and increasingly felt sorry for his wife and children.

So he couldn’t stay there any longer and hurried over.

Knocking on the door, he was turned away.

Gu Ruhai gave a bitter smile, knowing this was self-inflicted.

If his father-in-law had kindly invited him in, that would have been more worrying.

This was only natural.

"Dad, I was wrong, I know I was wrong. You can hit me, scold me, I’ll accept it. It was me, the terrible father, who failed to protect my children and wife; it’s my fault, and I will definitely change, I really have the determination to do so.

Dad, please trust me this once, over time, see my behavior."

This time, Gu Ruhai spoke very well, his attitude in admitting fault was absolutely sincere.

Li Qinghai sat underneath the grape trellis in the courtyard, just smoking without saying a word or responding.

If he didn’t leave Gu Ruhai hanging, how could he vent his own anger?

Li Xuemei was also disturbed, but she was really angry this time, so she didn’t move, turning over and covering her ears with the quilt to continue sleeping.

Gu Xiaoqing and Gu Xiaoying got up.

With such loud noise, who could sleep?

After all, it’s their dad; how could he be treated as an enemy?

Of course, the most important thing yesterday was Gu Xiaoqing’s timely intervention; if Gu Ruhai had really dared to say about marrying off Gu Xiaoying yesterday, things wouldn’t be like this now.

Gu Xiaoqing would have definitely persuaded her mom, Li Xuemei, to get a divorce.

A person’s wrongdoing isn’t necessarily about murder and arson; one’s kindness and stupidity can also harm people in a way that’s even harder to guard against.

So if Gu Ruhai had done that last night, today wouldn’t be the same outcome.

Gu Xiaoqing sighed inwardly.

He couldn’t help but feel soft-hearted.

It’s his own dad; how could he be truly ruthless?

It seems being cold-hearted and indifferent isn’t that easy.

The imagined scenario of swift vengeance also doesn’t seem straightforward.

At least not for him.

Gu Xiaojie followed Li Weimin to sleep on the other side last night, not here.

Li Zhaodi also got up, standing in the yard cursing: "Gu Ruhai, you damned fool, my good daughter married you, bore sons and daughters for you, cared for the household, inside and outside she worked her fingers to the bone for you. And now look at you, you’ve grown capable, even thinking of selling your daughter to please those two parents of yours.

Fine, you don’t have to say whether you’ll change or not, today you should go to the village with Xuemei for the procedures, get a divorce. The three kids will stay with us and Xuemei, we can afford to raise them.

As for how you want to be filial to your parents, go ahead, no one will stop you from now on. But you think of using my niece for your gains, keep dreaming."

Gu Ruhai felt bitter inside, all these messy affairs at home.

Being cursed to his face by his mother-in-law, who would feel good?

But this was self-inflicted.

His own family schemed against him, yet he was eager to comply and let them scheme; it’s only fair to be cursed.

The cursing wasn’t harsh enough.

"Mom, Dad, I was wrong, I know sometimes my brain really has a pit, always rushing forward without thinking. I’m willing to take punishment for this situation however you see fit.

But I won’t divorce Xuemei, my mistakes should be repaid by me serving the children and Xuemei for my life, it shouldn’t be this easy for me."

These words made Li Zhaodi unable to hold back in the yard.

She thought Gu Ruhai was supposed to be honest, but now his mouth doesn’t seem to match that description.

Li Xuemei had already gotten up; she couldn’t not get up.

Letting Gu Ruhai say those things outside, isn’t it embarrassing?

If everyone in the village knew, how could they live?

Li Xuemei pointed at Gu Xiaoqing and said, "Open the door for your dad, discuss things in the courtyard behind closed doors, isn’t it embarrassing being outside like this."

Feeling a little sweet inside, after all, there’s someone willing to serve her like this, thinking about it makes her smile.

Women are easy to please.

Gu Xiaoqing sneaked a smile and ran out to open the gate.

"Grandpa, my mom feels embarrassed, asked me to let Dad discuss inside with the door closed."

Li Qinghai chuckled contentedly, knowing that at such an age he can still stir things up.

But when Gu Ruhai entered, the old man’s face immediately turned into a dark cloud that could drip water.

Gu Ruhai stood trembling in the yard, cautiously approaching Li Qinghai, but not daring to get too close. Li Qinghai’s imposing presence always made Gu Ruhai fear him.

Li Zhaodi snorted, heading inside to make breakfast. The whole family needed to eat breakfast.

Li Xuemei got up, filling a basin with water for washing her face in the yard, but she ignored Gu Ruhai.

"Dad, I really was wrong, please give me the chance to make amends. You’ll see my behavior in the future."

Gu Ruhai didn’t dare to approach Li Xuemei. If he couldn’t get past the father-in-law, Li Xuemei wouldn’t return with him.

Gu Ruhai also knows that just based on his intentions, if Li Xuemei wants to divorce him, he wouldn’t feel wronged.

Only after realizing it does one understand how happy their life had been before.

If Li Xuemei really doesn’t forgive him, Gu Ruhai still plans to earn money to support her and the kids, even if she doesn’t live with him.

Li Qinghai snorted.

"Sit down!"

These words suddenly gave Gu Ruhai some confidence.

The father-in-law’s meaning seemed to offer a chance.

Gu Ruhai didn’t dare to sit, instead squatted beside Li Qinghai, offering him a cigarette. (To be continued.
