Rebirth: She is Ready for a Counterattack!-Chapter 297 - 296: Calamity Without Cause

Early the next morning, Li Zhaodi and Li Qinghai went back home.

Li Weimin and Li Weiqiang personally drove them back, with Liu Fen and Han Xue taking care of them on the road, which put Li Xuemei at ease.

The car was loaded with a lot of food and nutritional supplements, all for Li Zhaodi to take back.

Wu Fengying and Liu Fen returned to the village together to rest during their pregnancy, while Jianhui would get off at the county city’s Gu Family Spicy Hot Pot to go to work.

After all, no one had managed the place for a long time, even though there were managers and store managers there, it wasn’t right for the owner to never show up.

Li Xuemei saw her family off and returned home with Gu Ruhai.

Han Qi was sitting on the sofa watching TV as if no one else was there, laughing uproariously by herself, while cracking melon seeds, leaving shells all over the floor.

When she saw Li Xuemei and Gu Ruhai along with Gu Xiaoqing and Gu Xiaoying come in, she finally sat up straight.

"Aunt, Uncle, have Grandma and Grandpa left?"

Li Xuemei replied absent-mindedly and went upstairs.

This niece-in-law is so clueless, and she can’t say anything about it. She’s a bit unhappy in her heart; her parents are going home and this granddaughter-in-law won’t even pretend to see them off. Can she really rely on her to take care of Li Weimin and Liu Fen in their old age?

Brother and sister-in-law really have poor judgment.

Gu Xiaoqing looked at the melon seed shells all over the floor and raised her chin, "Clean it up immediately, I want to see you clean it."

She had already said many times not to behave like in the countryside, throwing melon seed shells, trash everywhere, and spitting on the ground. Even so, Gu Xiaoqing had been very restrained in her words.

Han Qi was clearly a daughter from a good family, but she was so wantonly reckless at someone else’s home, how could anyone not be annoyed?

Even if they are relatives, they shouldn’t be so troublesome.

Han Qi was not pleased to hear this, pointing towards the kitchen, saying, "Isn’t there an auntie there? Why should I clean? After all, I’m your sister-in-law."

This person doesn’t hesitate when ordering people around.

Gu Xiaoqing snorted coldly, "You are my sister-in-law, huh? I remember I said not to throw melon seed shells, fruit peels, or any trash on the floor. You seem to have no memory. And even though we have an auntie, she’s not here to serve you. If you’re thinking of living comfortably in our house, then sorry, you can move out tonight. My parents might be too polite to say anything, but I have no such qualms."

If she doesn’t discipline Han Qi, she’ll walk all over people.

She doesn’t behave at all like a daughter-in-law, and doesn’t know her place in others’ homes, yet she dreams of doing business.

It’s simply building castles in the air.

How someone like her could garner Li Jianguo’s attention, I simply don’t understand what he sees in Han Qi.

Han Qi also knew Gu Xiaoqing wasn’t someone easy to talk to. If she didn’t comply today, Gu Xiaoqing really might throw her out.

She initially thought she could live comfortably, but unfortunately she encountered Gu Xiaoqing, the witch, who despite her unwillingness eventually had to grab a broom and sweep the floor, as it’s Gu Xiaoqing who calls the shots here.

Seeing Han Qi obediently cleaning the floor, Gu Xiaoqing returned to her room, lying on the bed with a bit of a headache, contemplative.

She has only a week left before going back to school.

But with Han Qi being like this, staying in her home is the biggest hidden danger, and this time there was a problem with twenty thousand yuan, so there might be another incident involving twenty thousand yuan in the future.

Moreover, it’s clear that Han Qi is someone who forgets her lessons easily, having benefited this time, she might try something else at home next time.

Her parents are people who can’t face embarrassment, always thinking that since they are relatives, the son and daughter-in-law of the eldest uncle, it’s hard to say anything.

Just like this twenty thousand yuan incident, if it were up to Gu Xiaoqing, she would have directly spoken out, let everyone be embarrassed together; there’s no need to stifle inside while still minding others’ feelings.

But Gu Xiaoqing also knows that Li Xuemei and her uncles are especially close, and really hurting them would upset her mom, maybe even make her feel guilty. Perhaps this is spending money for peace of mind.

Such money is poorly spent; with Han Qi’s behavior, who knows what trouble she might cause in the future.

If she dares to tamper in someone else’s home, then what precautions should Li Weimin and the others take against her at their own home?

And this is a daughter-in-law, what kind of virtue will little Hu Zi develop as he grows?

Gu Xiaoqing was frustrated.

Things kept happening one after another; it seemed like there was never a moment of peace at home. Just as things settled with the uncles and aunts, issues arose with the uncles on the other side.

Alas, is this life, omnipresent life?

Yesterday, Guo Donghua called, saying that the milk tea shop there was inspected by health and epidemic prevention, reportedly after receiving a report about potential hygiene and safety risks, and ordered them to rectify.

Although it wasn’t closed down, this was already a very serious warning.

Gu Xiaoqing hadn’t seen what happened, but she could already guess what was going on.

It seemed Han Xiao’s invisible effect hadn’t ended, and Han Xiao’s mother was going to stubbornly confront them.

Gu Xiaoqing covered her eyes, clearly it wasn’t a peach blossom luck, but the pitiful her got implicated, even her shop was affected, what was this all about?

A senseless disaster.

Rushing back is also for this reason: in facing those with power and influence, someone like her can only be considered at the bottom of society. If she doesn’t go to explain things with Han Xiao’s mother, there could be even more serious consequences awaiting her.

Gu Xiaoqing’s biggest fear was that Han Xiao’s mother might target the Gu Family chain brand, shaking its very foundation if influenced.

After all, their Gu Family chain brand was still a new brand with only a few years of history, and in the business world, the Gu Family was a newcomer that still needs a lot of time to establish itself.

If targeted by the business world’s big shots, it could quickly be crushed, no need for much, just a few phone calls, and you’d have the industry and commerce, taxation, and epidemic prevention all knocking on your door, inspecting one day, and someone else the next.

How to run a business like this?

The customers would probably be scared off.

So this matter must be resolved quickly.

But it’s clear that Han Xiao’s mother doesn’t believe that she doesn’t have any designs on her son.

This can only be blamed on her own lack of strength. Given her humble background, it’s perhaps understandable why people think she wants to marry into wealth, and it’s only natural.

So it’s no wonder they don’t believe her.

On top of meddling and taking in Han Xiao,

this isn’t something that can be cleared up even if she jumped into the Yellow River.
