Rebirth: She is Ready for a Counterattack!-Chapter 296 - 295: Troublemakers

After dinner, Li Qinghai and Li Zhaodi told Li Xuemei and Gu Ruhai that they were preparing to go back. They felt they had disturbed them for too long and knew they had delayed many things for the couple.

Upon hearing this, Li Weimin and Li Weiqiang completely agreed, but Han Qi was unwilling as her ideas had not yet been realized.

She nudged Li Jianguo, prompting him to speak.

Li Jianguo had no choice but to say, "Aunt, Uncle, let Grandpa, Grandma, and my parents go back. Can Hu Zi’s mother and I temporarily stay here? We want to start a small business in the city."

Li Weimin was displeased upon hearing this. The older the kid got, the less promising he seemed. He hadn’t discussed this matter with them at all. He glanced at Han Qi, knowing this must have been her idea.

This daughter-in-law just couldn’t rest easy without causing some trouble.

"Jianguo, what kind of business are you planning? Do you have money? You spend money like water, and yet you want to do business? What kind of business can the two of you do, especially with a child in tow?"

Li Weimin was not in favor of it.

He mainly didn’t want to leave Li Jianguo and Han Qi with Li Xuemei and Gu Ruhai. If these two troublemakers caused any issues at Li Xuemei’s place, how could he face his sister’s family?

Li Jianguo’s face turned red with embarrassment. Especially in front of Li Xuemei and Gu Ruhai, he felt his father was not giving him any face.

However, Li Jianguo couldn’t argue against this. He secretly blamed Han Qi for insisting he say this. Together, they didn’t even have two thousand yuan. How could they do business without capital?

In the city, even renting a shop would cost several thousand. Besides, Li Jianguo was not an adventurous person, neither daring nor aggressive. In his mind, helping out in his family’s store and earning a stable salary was not a bad thing.

But Han Qi was used to being dominant, and Li Jianguo was used to being led by her, so when she asked him to say it, he did.

Seeing Li Jianguo’s cowardly appearance, struggling to speak, Han Qi was irritated. She pushed past Li Jianguo and said to Li Weimin, "Dad, I don’t like what you’re saying. Why can my aunt and uncle do business in the city, but we can’t? Besides, even if we don’t have money, couldn’t you and mom lend us some? After all, we are also your children, and Xiao Hu could go back with you to help watch over things.

If us two can’t do something for the family business, can’t we at least try something ourselves? Otherwise, when money is spent, won’t we need to watch others’ faces?"

Li Weimin almost fainted from anger. This daughter-in-law was not an easy one. Between the lines, it was as if she was saying the four adults were holding the family’s finances tightly and wouldn’t let go, and borrowing money? What a joke. Han Qi had mentioned this more than once or twice; she was clearly aiming to pry money from the old couple.

In any case, Li Weimin disagreed.

"Han Qi, if you want to do business, we won’t stop you, but borrowing money is not possible. One should work with the capability they have. Our money is family money, not just for you two. If you want to do business, find your own way. I absolutely won’t stop you. And if you plan to stay in the city and do business, let me be clear: rent your own place and find your own way. Don’t keep bothering your aunt and uncle. If you plan to freeload here, then go back home. Don’t embarrass us here."

Li Weimin was straightforward, especially with Han Qi; he couldn’t be too polite.

The more polite you are, the worse off you’ll be.

Han Qi was infuriated. This old man always ruined their plans. If Li Weimin hadn’t pointed things out so clearly, Han Qi was planning to stay at Li Xuemei’s place without paying anything, hoping to get some advantages.

Han Qi also planned to borrow a sum from Li Xuemei and Gu Ruhai, thinking she would never repay it. Surely, Li Xuemei wouldn’t ask for it back. That was Han Qi’s idea.

Now, Li Weimin’s words directly blocked Han Qi’s plans. How could she not be mad?

He blocked her financial path.

Without any advantages, what business could she do in the city?

With Li Jianguo being such a pushover, what could he accomplish?

But the words were already out, and there was no taking them back. Plus, there were 20,000 yuan waiting to be legalized through such an opportunity. Otherwise, how could they explain suddenly having 20,000 yuan?

Han Qi rolled her eyes and said harshly, "Dad, if you don’t want to lend money, so be it. We can rely on ourselves. Please take Hu Zi back with you. Jianguo and I will find a place in the city."

Then without sparing Li Weimin another glance, her attitude extremely unfriendly, she turned to Li Xuemei and said, "Aunt, we can’t find a place right away. It’s impossible to find a suitable one as soon as we leave, so could we stay with you and uncle for a while before we find one? If even you’re not willing, then my husband and I are left with staying at a guesthouse."

This was her way of shutting Li Xuemei down.

Li Xuemei looked at her brother’s stiff face and sighed inwardly, "What are you saying? Before you find a place, just stay here for now. Brother, it’s okay; they’re my nephew and niece-in-law. We can’t really let them wander around, that wouldn’t be right. Rest assured."

Li Xuemei didn’t want to take on these responsibilities, especially with Han Qi and Li Jianguo, but if she didn’t say this, her eldest brother Li Weimin would be troubled.

Li Weimin sighed and told Li Xuemei and Gu Ruhai, "These two are never easy. Don’t act against your own face just for our sake. If they do anything embarrassing, it’ll only make things harder for you."

This was Li Weimin trying to spare his sister and brother-in-law future trouble. If he didn’t say it, and then something really happened, his sister would be too embarrassed to really do something about her son.

Li Xuemei smiled, nodding, quickly agreeing to spare her brother the trouble.

She knew her brother did this for the good of the two of them.

Han Qi looked smug, knowing Li Xuemei couldn’t ignore this. Otherwise, people would say she didn’t even care for her nephew and niece-in-law.

Li Jianguo felt uncomfortable, but seeing Han Qi’s domineering stance, he swallowed the words he wanted to say, fearing he’d have to hear a litany from Han Qi that night.

He wasn’t afraid, but Han Qi was relentless once she started, and it gave him a headache.
