Reborn in the 70s: Pampered by Regiment Commander-Chapter 552 - 376: The Fool is Even More Infuriating

Before dawn arrived.

"Snap!"

The broom used for sweeping the kang was thrown out of Elder Zhao’s hand, landing heavily on Zhao Yushui’s shoulder, but he remained kneeling rigidly, not moving an inch.

"Did you trade your brain with your wife’s before you came here?" Elder Zhao glared at him angrily. "I don’t have a son like you, get out!"

"Father..." Zhao Yushui’s eyes were filled with pain, "Father, please have mercy on your son. In this life, this is all there is for your son, no other ambitions. As long as the two of them, mother and daughter, can live well, I’ll be content.

Xiao Hua has changed compared to before, truly, she doesn’t hit me or scold me anymore, she’s wholeheartedly living her life with me now.

Qiyan has set her heart on marrying Zhenqiang and no longer daydreams about marrying out of her reach. After much difficulty, she has come to terms with it, Father, please grant her your blessing!"

"You..." Elder Zhao slapped the kang heavily, "How did I end up with such a useless son like you? You would be better off dead!"

"Second son..." Old Lady Zhao sighed and tried to soften her voice, "Do you think your sister’s family would stand in the way of Qiyan’s marriage?"

"No... not at all." Although he answered this way, his tone betrayed him.

Old Lady Zhao asked again, "Tell the truth to your mother, did you know when Qiyan brought her son-in-law over to show off?"

"No..."

"Wham!" A book landed on Zhao Yushui’s shoulder, cutting off his response.

For the first time, Chuxia noticed that her grandfather could be quite violent when he was angry, but deep down, she felt warmth. She knew that if her grandfather didn’t genuinely care for her, he wouldn’t be this upset. ƒrēenovelkiss.com

"Grandpa, don’t be angry, didn’t we agree already?" Chuxia quickly moved to Elder Zhao’s side and gently soothed his back, "It’s not worth harming your health over this."

"Chuxia..." Zhao Yushui’s voice was laced with bitterness, "Uncle knows that Sister Qiyan has wronged you too much, and I am too ashamed to ask for your forgiveness.

But, she is still my daughter, and seeing her starting to improve, being able to have a good life, Uncle truly... truly hopes she can do well."

Chuxia sat up straight. "Uncle, what are you trying to say by telling me all this?"

"I..." Zhao Yushui hesitated, unable to continue.

Lin Baohe stared at him steadily, "Second brother, I’ve always respected you as an honest man, but today, I really look down on you.

Do you even know what your daughter did to mine? Your daughter wanted to drive mine to a dead end, and my daughter didn’t even hold it against her, what else do you want?"

"Your sister and her family were just advising me and your father, regarding Qiyan’s issue, do what needs to be done, and not to hold against her whatever she did before, just because she is of Zhao’s blood!"

"But you, as soon as you got here, started beating around the bush pleading for your daughter. Have you even understood what’s going on before you start asking for mercy?"

"Mom..." Zhao Yushui wiped the sweat from his forehead, "I... I know Qiyan did wrong, but this time... this time she almost... almost got into trouble..." He glanced towards Chuxia’s position, "It was... it was Chuxia who hit her and drove her out, which led to her getting lost with her mom. It was fortunate she ran into Zhenqiang; had she encountered some bad person, her life... her life would have been over."

"Dad, Mom, I was really angry with her, but when she told me about it, all my anger disappeared. I almost lost my daughter, what else is there to be mad about?

"Even if she has wronged Chuxia many times, you... you still shouldn’t just beat her up and throw her out. A young girl in an unfamiliar place, how can she..."

Seeing Elder Zhao reach for the scissors, Zhao Yushui was shocked into silence.

"Grandpa, let me handle this situation." Chuxia was also getting angry, she had thought about keeping the peace, but this family was just too much.

Before, she thought her second uncle was an honest and simple man, not very talkative, always bullied by Lin Xiaohua, and truly pitiable. But now, she realized he thoroughly deserved it!

"The things you just said, did Zhao Qiyan tell you them?" So angry that she stopped addressing him as second uncle.

"Hmm." Zhao Yushui nodded, quickly adding, "Initially, I didn’t believe it either, but then... but then seeing the scars on her body, and besides, Jianqiang also testified."

"So, you believed her?"

After hesitating a moment, Zhao Yushui nodded: "Yes."

"They are a married couple, their interests are connected, can you completely trust what they say?" Chuxia changed her tone and continued, "Of course, you might not believe me either, or perhaps I should say, as I’m only your niece, you shouldn’t trust me even more.

"But you must believe the facts, and the fact I’m talking about has witnesses and various kinds of evidence. Or you can let your daughter confront me in person."

"As for who your son-in-law is, if you didn’t have your head in the clouds at my wedding, you should be able to recognize him.

"He was one of the leaders of the group that ransacked my husband’s family’s house. You were present when your daughter and wife betrayed my husband’s family, that wasn’t made up by me, right?"

"Afterwards, they were deceived into going to a hotel because, at that time, they weren’t of any use. When their utility arose again, do you know what they did?

"Your daughter says I hit her, didn’t you ask why I hit her? If I conspired with your family’s enemies to deceive your daughter into supplying labor, thinking of letting your enemies abuse her, would she be grateful to me?

"If I hadn’t had the help of my husband’s friend by my side, if there hadn’t been good people around me, what you’d be seeing right now wouldn’t be me, but a mound of yellow earth!

"I haven’t even come to you to settle accounts yet, and here you are, criticizing me. If it weren’t for my grandparents’ sake, I wouldn’t bother talking to you!"

"No... impossible..." Zhao Yushui shook his head in disbelief, "This is different from what mother and daughter told me, completely different..."

"Pfft!" Chuxia rolled her eyes, "Did your wife and daughter-in-law say that soon after leaving, they regretted it and then tried to ask for my help, only to be ignored by me, resulting in them ending up homeless on the streets?"

Zhao Yushui nodded, "You see, you also said so."

"If you weren’t my elder, I would really want to call you a ’stupid pig!’" Chuxia said, exasperatedly rubbing her forehead, "It’s true, birds of a feather flock together. I really underestimated you before, Uncle, you are truly the most deeply hidden person in this world, wearing a mask of honesty while being capable of distorting truth and falsehood, your ability is really too great!"
