Rebirth: She is Ready for a Counterattack!-Chapter 284 - 283: Filing a Complaint

"Who do you think you are talking to? I’m capable, so what? I’ve got the guts, so what? If you’re so capable, then you should get pregnant as soon as you step in the door. If you can’t, why make a fuss? Aren’t you precious? If you’re not, then why do you crave this and that when you’re pregnant? And still have the audacity to criticize me."

Han Qi, holding the child, surprisingly started pointing fingers and arguing with Wu Fengying.

Completely disregarding the frightened child in her arms who burst into tears.

The living room was in complete chaos.

"Why is it okay for you, but not for me? I’m human too, and I’m also a daughter-in-law of the Li Family. Why don’t I get the same treatment? Besides, we haven’t split the family assets yet. What I eat and drink comes from my parents-in-law, not from you, Han Qi. Why do you always criticize me, picking on this and that?"

Wu Fengying wasn’t one to mess around either. When it comes to arguing, she rolls up her sleeves and jumps right in.

Gu Xiaoqing slammed the table with a bang, scaring the four people in the living room into silence. After all, this was someone else’s house, and they felt compelled but lacked confidence.

"If you want to argue, take it outside. This is my house, not a marketplace. Grandma and Grandpa are not feeling well and are resting. As grandchildren and grandchildren-in-law, instead of thinking about taking good care of the elderly, you’re arguing here. Is it fun?

Big Brother, Second Brother, you should take your wives and stay at a guesthouse outside. Spare us from this chaos at home, or nobody can rest properly. I can’t manage your household affairs, but don’t make a fuss in front of me. Over time, even if we’re relatives, the feelings will wear out."

Gu Xiaoqing was prepared to kick them out. If this continued, the two daughters-in-law could ruin the family. This was just the first day, only half a day had passed, and things had already become like this. Who knows what will happen next.

Han Qi and Wu Fengying, upon hearing this, both fell silent.

Han Qi tugged at Li Jianguo, trying to soothe the child in her arms. Li Jianguo remained still, standing silently without speaking or resisting, like a puppet.

Seeing Li Jianguo not speaking up, Han Qi had no choice but to speak herself. She was unwilling to leave, as her goal hadn’t been achieved, and she couldn’t just be kicked out like that.

"Xiaoqing sis, your words are not right. After all, we are relatives. How could you kick us, relatives, out to stay at a guesthouse? Wouldn’t that make the villagers laugh? Besides, Grandpa and Grandma are not well, and Jianguo is the eldest grandson, so he should stay close to them to show filial dedication. It’s not convenient to stay outside.

Look, Xiao Hu is only a few months old and still nursing. Xiaoqing, can you bear to let our whole family stay outside, so when Uncle and Aunt return, it doesn’t look good."

She was absolutely unwilling to leave.

Wu Fengying, hearing this, also got anxious. If Han Qi didn’t move out and she did, she’d certainly suffer losses. At that time, who knows how many benefits Han Qi might gain from Gu Ruhai and Li Xuemei. 𝘧𝓇𝑒𝑒𝑤ℯ𝑏𝓃𝘰𝑣ℯ𝘭.𝘤ℴ𝘮

Everyone knows Gu Ruhai and Li Xuemei, this Uncle and Aunt, are wealthy.

She approached Gu Xiaoqing and said, "Xiaoqing, sister-in-law is already four months pregnant and not feeling well. Look at me and Brother Jianhui, we haven’t done anything out of line. It’s just that sister-in-law’s mouth is foul and can’t stand others being so arrogant. It won’t be like this in the future, please don’t be mad. Can you let bygones be bygones?"

Shaking Gu Xiaoqing’s arm, Wu Fengying’s round face managed to show a cute, girlish pout that made Gu Xiaoqing smile.

This Wu Fengying really made Gu Xiaoqing see her differently.

Compared to Han Qi, she was more pragmatic and articulate, making her more likable.

Li Jianhui came over, pulled Wu Fengying aside, and apologized to Gu Xiaoqing, saying: "Xiaoqing, I’m sorry. We’ve caused so much trouble since we arrived. Don’t listen to her, I’ll decide. We’ll go to the guesthouse."

Giving a sidelong glance at Li Jianguo, seeing Li Jianguo still silent, Li Jianhui sighed heavily. His elder brother had changed so much after getting married. In the past, whether working hard outside or doing chores at home, they were joyful together.

Li Jianguo used to be wholly devoted to considerations and contributions for the family, but since his wife entered the home, everything changed. His brother seemed heavily influenced by Han Qi, even several times wanting to split the family, claiming his inheritance as the eldest.

In the village, there was this notion, but it didn’t mean all the family’s assets should go to the eldest. Also, the parents were in good health, so there was no reason to split the family.

This was all Han Qi inciting him.

But if Li Jianguo hadn’t already had some small schemes in his heart, how could he become confused and speak such shameless words along with his wife?

So for many things, it’s up to the man himself to stand firm.

Li Jianhui couldn’t help but look at Gu Xiaoqing. Like Uncle Gu Ruhai, back in the day, when life seemed unbearable, it’s not because Uncle was incapable, but because his own parents couldn’t stand firm.

However, looking at how things have turned under Gu Xiaoqing’s influence, life now had reached heights they couldn’t catch up with even if they tried hard. It’s because Uncle learned what a man should do, and how he should comport to achieve this lifestyle.

Over the years, Li Jianhui had seen how Uncle’s family lived, so he had already told himself he would not tread the same old path. A man must make resolute decisions and remain uninfluenced by others, to act righteously and reap the greatest benefits.

But with his elder brother, that’s not something within his control.

A person’s path is theirs alone to walk.

As he was pulling Wu Fengying to leave, just as the door opened, they encountered Gu Ruhai and Li Xuemei who were about to open the door. Upon seeing Jianhui and Wu Fengying, the couple was instantly delighted.

"Jianhui, so you’re here, then Grandpa and Grandma must be here too?"

Li Xuemei was pleased to see her nephew, pulled the couple inside, and upon seeing Gu Xiaoqing, Li Jianguo, and Han Qi standing in the living room, she paused, mainly because the atmosphere was off.

And the mess in the living room, the heap of banana peels on the floor, made everything seem particularly inappropriate.

Li Jianguo seemed to have just come to his senses, immediately stepped up to greet Gu Ruhai, "Uncle, Aunt."

Han Qi, holding the child, also stepped up and directly threw herself into Li Xuemei’s arms, wailing and complaining: "Aunt, you have to stand up for me. I just ate a few bananas, and Xiaoqing wants to kick us out to stay at a guesthouse. I really can’t show my face in your house."

Li Xuemei was stunned by these words, knowing very well her daughter isn’t small-minded. Never mind a couple of bananas, even two baskets, their family isn’t so stingy. There’s definitely more to it.

Han Qi did not speak honestly.
