Rebirth: She is Ready for a Counterattack!-Chapter 282 - 281: Get Out

"You child, show some respect to your grandparents."

Li Zhaodi looked at Gu Xiaoqing with affection. This was the smartest child and the most promising of her daughter’s children, so Li Zhaodi always believed that this child was Li Xuemei’s lucky star.

Behind them, Li Jianguo and Han Qi came in. Han Qi was noticeably plumper, holding a baby only seven or eight months old. The child was crying while Han Qi looked displeased, like someone owed her millions.

She didn’t even speak, just sat down on a sofa on the other side with the baby, and nonchalantly began breastfeeding.

This made Li Jianhui and Wu Fengying a bit uncomfortable. Li Jianhui had to turn and help Wu Fengying to sit beside Li Zhaodi, looking carefully, and neither of them offered seats to Li Weimin or Li Weiqiang, the four elders.

The atmosphere suddenly became awkward.

Gu Xiaoqing observed, thinking there must be something going on here.

She rose to greet Li Weimin, Li Weiqiang, and the two aunts.

"Uncles, Aunties, please wait, our sofa doesn’t have enough seats. Let me bring some chairs for you. We can’t have you standing here as elders; what does that look like?" This comment was a direct shot at Li Jianguo and Li Jianhui.

The two of them immediately stood up, looked awkwardly at their seated wives, and then said to Gu Xiaoqing, "Xiaoqing, we’ll get the chairs."

Before Li Jianguo could take a step, Han Qi, who was sitting and feeding the child, snorted. Li Jianguo immediately wilted and stopped in his tracks.

Li Jianhui glared fiercely at Han Qi, shook off Wu Fengying’s hand, and walked over angrily to bring some chairs.

"Mom and Dad, please sit."

Only after Li Weimin and Li Weiqiang sat down did the four of them sigh audibly, a sound too loud for Gu Xiaoqing to ignore. It seemed the daughters-in-law weren’t getting along well with the elders.

And if Gu Xiaoqing wasn’t mistaken, Li Jianguo was completely under Han Qi’s thumb.

She was really the boss here.

With just a humph, Li Jianguo didn’t dare to move.

It seemed every family had its own difficulties.

On the other side, while feeding the child, Han Qi grabbed some fruit from the table, picked up a banana, and started eating noisily. Eating was one thing, but the way she just tossed the peel on the floor without a glance or word was too much. She just moved on to the next banana.

Li Jianguo saw Gu Xiaoqing’s face instantly turn cold and awkwardly tugged on Han Qi’s sleeve. Han Qi glanced up at Li Jianguo, sharply pulled her sleeve back, and continued eating with an air of indifference.

Completely indifferent to her own image, this was beyond Gu Xiaoqing’s imagination; what had happened in just a year? The once lovely daughter-in-law had turned into such an uncouth village woman.

Wu Fengying sighed, and Li Zhaodi looked over but said nothing, seeming accustomed to it.

Li Jianhui asked, "What’s wrong? Are you feeling uncomfortable again?"

A bit nervous.

Gu Xiaoqing watched Wu Fengying cradle her stomach and then glance sideways at Han Qi, who was about to finish off all the bananas. Her face turned grim as she said to Li Jianhui, "Jianhui, I’m feeling nauseous. Get me some fruit to settle my stomach."

Li Jianhui picked up an apple and handed it to Wu Fengying, but she immediately gagged, forcing Li Jianhui to put down the apple and hand over the last banana on the table.

Wu Fengying finally moved her hand from her mouth.

She slowly peeled the banana with delicate manners and ate it daintily.

That side, Han Qi was clearly enraged, holding the child and saying to Gu Xiaoqing, "Xiaoqing, your family is so stingy, not even offering more bananas. Look, it’s not enough for the whole family, Grandpa and Grandma haven’t even had any."

Saying this made things worse; everyone turned to watch, and Gu Xiaoqing’s eyes widened in disbelief. How could this absurd behavior continue? Did Han Qi think she could act bossy at the Li Family and bring the same attitude to the Gu Family?

Who spoiled her like this?

Li Qinghai coughed and glanced at Li Jianguo.

Li Jianguo had no choice but to say awkwardly, "Xiaoqing, your sister-in-law has no sense, never having seen such delicious food. So when she sees it, she doesn’t stop. Don’t take it to heart. She’s not good with words, but she means no harm."

This didn’t help at all; who was he trying to protect?

Gu Xiaoqing replied with a smile, "I’m at a loss for words on her lack of sense, but even without it, Brother Jianguo, your family has businesses and shops. How come she doesn’t even know to respect the elders and care for the younger ones?

When visiting someone else’s home, and there’s good food, if she means no harm, how come she doesn’t notice that there are two older generations of elders sitting here, and the in-laws over there, six elders who haven’t taken a bite, yet as a daughter-in-law, she eats with such boldness?

And to say I don’t know how to host guests? I’m hosting my grandparents and uncles and aunts, not those who don’t understand propriety."

Li Jianguo can spoil Han Qi, but Gu Xiaoqing sees no obligation to.

Han Qi’s face suddenly changed, standing up with the child, saying, "Jianguo, look at your sister. Now that she’s rich, she doesn’t recognize those who helped her. If it weren’t for Grandpa and Grandma, Mom and Dad scrimping and saving for you, could you survive to today, enjoy such a good home? You’ve forgotten the kindness."

Her fierce demeanor made her seem like a shrew.

Li Jianguo stood silently by.

Both Li Weimin and Li Weiqiang’s faces blushed and turned pale, rural men wanting to find a hole to disappear into.

It’s truly embarrassing.

Li Qinghai knocked his smoking pipe against the corner of the coffee table loudly, immediately silencing Han Qi, who stood by Li Jianguo, muttering, "I didn’t say anything wrong."

Gu Xiaoqing walked directly over, step by step, until she stood in front of Han Qi, exuding a cold, assertive aura that made Han Qi retreat step by step.

"You, you... what do you want?"

"Get out of my house, and don’t make me say it again. How our family got by, who saved the grain for us, has nothing to do with you, Han Qi. Have I eaten a grain of your food, a bite of your meal? Brother Jianguo can coddle you and protect you, but don’t come here to embarrass us."

Gu Xiaoqing pointed right at Han Qi’s nose.
