Rebirth in the 90s: Her Counterattack and Redemption

Chapter 1436: Chapter 841:

Luo Ye and Zhu Hongyu hurriedly helped the family of three up: "Uncle, Auntie, Big Brother, no need to be so polite. How about this, you go to your relatives’ place first and warm up a bit. When we’re done with our business, we’ll come back and pick you up and we’ll all leave together."

Granny’s son-in-law hurriedly waved his hands: "No need, no need, we’ll just walk back."

"In this weather, walking twenty li back—aren’t you trying to die? Since we’ve brought you out, of course we’ll see you back."

Luo Ye and Zhu Hongyu forcibly saw Granny’s daughter’s family off to the entrance of the alley where Granny’s third younger sister lived, and only then did they leave.

"From now on, we’ve got to be good and filial to Mom." Granny’s daughter said this and looked at her husband. "Before, we couldn’t get away, and figured Mom was in good health, so we didn’t go often. From now on, we can’t be that inconsiderate anymore. If it weren’t for Mom, this time our family would’ve suffered a huge disaster."

"Mm." Old Man Wang nodded hard, wiped at his nose, and gave his son a slap. "Zhu Jun, from now on take Xiao Tao to see your grandma often. Your grandma dotes on Xiao Tao."

Granny’s grandson let out a light sigh: "Ai, I want to go too, but I’m afraid people will say our family’s poor and that we’re just going to Grandma’s to freeload."

"Let others say whatever they like. It’s our own life, and the old folks are our own too." Old Man Wang said, poking his wife and pointing at the little shop in the distance. "Go buy some things and visit Third Aunt on Mom’s behalf."

"Okay!" Granny’s daughter answered cheerfully and lifted her legs to go, and Old Man Wang gave his son a kick. "Aren’t you going to hurry up and help your mom!"

"Ow!" Wang Zhujun pitched headfirst onto the ground.

"You big strapping lad, really useless." Old Man Wang slanted his eyes at his son, his face full of disdain.

"Dad, my leg’s hurt." Wang Zhujun said, rolling up his pant leg for his old man to see. Sure enough, both his calves were black-and-blue.

"They did all this?" Old Man Wang’s hands started to tremble. "They... this is just forcing a confession by torture! Jun, why didn’t you say anything back then?"

"Dad, I was just thinking, as long as they’d let me out, better one thing less than one thing more, so I didn’t say anything." Wang Zhujun climbed up, grinned and said, "Dad, a bit of pain is nothing, as long as we didn’t spend too much money. And this cow..." He pointed at the big pied cow Old Man Wang was leading. "With him, we’re not losing out at all."

"Isn’t that so..." Old Man Wang suddenly slapped his forehead. "But with him, how are we going to take the bus? How did I forget this?"

"Yeah, we all forgot. Miss Luo and Miss Zhu forgot too, hehe..." Wang Zhujun giggled foolishly. "Dad, city girls are really pretty."

Old Man Wang glared at his son: "Look at the time and you’re still thinking about that. Here’s what we’ll do, your mom will go to your Third Aunt’s, and we two will go to the market to sell the cow first. Even though it’s just a small market day, by this time there should still be quite a few people. We’ll sell this cow, and with the money we have on hand, we’ll go back and fix up the house and bring your grandma over to live with us."

...

Halfway along the road, Zhu Hongyu suddenly slapped her forehead. "Luoluo, this is bad, this is bad, we said we’d go back and pick up the Wang Family, and they even brought a cow. We can’t exactly let the cow stand on the roof of the car, right?"

"You’re only now remembering there was a cow?" Luo Ye gave her a disdainful once-over. "You can even overlook a cow that big, impressive."

"Don’t tell me you didn’t overlook it?" Zhu Hongyu looked completely unconvinced. "If you didn’t overlook it, why didn’t you remind me?"

"I didn’t remind you because I knew that by the time we went back, the cow would definitely be gone, so the problem wouldn’t exist in the first place."

"Why?" Zhu Hongyu looked puzzled.

"Use your own brain. You’re my superior; your thinking is supposed to be more meticulous than mine. How can you rely on me for everything?" Luo Ye lightly smacked her. "I became your subordinate, not your nanny."

"You little brat, did you have to make it sound so awful?" Zhu Hongyu frowned and thought for a bit, then suddenly slapped her forehead. "I get it now. Fine, chalk it up to me worrying for nothing."

"Say what you’re thinking. Let me see if you guessed right."

Zhu Hongyu clicked her tongue: "You really look down on people. Think I couldn’t figure it out? They’ll just sell the cow, that’s all. They were planning to sell it anyway."

"All right, there’s still hope for you." Luo Ye curled her lip. "I thought you were going to say they’d give the cow to Third Aunt."

Zhu Hongyu: "..." Was she really that dumb?
