Rebirth in the 90s: Her Counterattack and Redemption

Chapter 1447: Chapter 847: To Go or Not to Go?

"Honestly, this family is really quite good. If it wasn’t that the sister-in-law was already spoken for, this family would definitely be worth considering. Actually, this boy is much better than Mr. Qi."

Hearing Zhu Hongyu say this, Yue Qin was instantly stunned, and after a while, her voice croaked: "You... you all know?"

Zhu Hongyu nodded: "If what you’re referring to, sister-in-law, is the relationship between you and Qi Xing, then yes."

Yue Qin’s dumbfounded face gradually turned pink; at this moment, she resembled a young girl of sixteen, bashful and charming, extremely beautiful.

"Qi Xing really cares about the family. He only keeps a little of his monthly salary, and the rest he sends to support the family. Every time he writes or calls, he reminds me not to treat myself poorly, to not skimp on food, drinks, clothes, or necessities."

Each year during his vacation home visit, he takes on all the heavy and tiring work at home, not even minding washing clothes or cooking, despite being laughed at by the village rascals who grew up with him..."

From the passenger seat, Zhu Hongyu turned to the suddenly fervent Yue Qin, who was defending Qi Xing:"Sister-in-law, these are things he should be doing."

Yue Qin was momentarily stuck, then swallowed: "Where we come from, it’s customary for men not to do household chores."

"Sister-in-law, what’s your ideal?" Knowing that in Yue Qin’s heart, Qi Xing was everything, and that she’d find reasons to defend him no matter what was said, Zhu Hongyu changed the topic.

"Ideal?" Yue Qin paused for a moment and chuckled shyly, "My ideal is simply to be together with my loved ones, to live a healthy and happy life. I’ve always hoped for this since I was young."

Zhu Hongyu’s eyes reddened, she turned away, not speaking for a while.

"When I was five, my parents passed away. At eleven, my grandmother left me, and at seventeen, my grandpa also left."

Back then, I thought, even if I had to lose half my life, just being together with my family would be enough. Unfortunately, that was just wishful thinking. Once gone, there’s no way for loved ones to return."

Later, I married into the Qi family, and Father-in-law and Mother-in-law treated me like their own daughter. Being with them, I felt extremely happy, even if life was a bit tough, I was very happy." Yue Qin explained to herself.

Luo Ye glanced at her through the rearview mirror, feeling her heart soften. Initially, she and Zhu Hongyu came here because of Qi Xing.

Qi Xing’s sadness when he told them about it deeply moved them. What was really difficult for him was a simple task for them, so when the opportunity arose to sneak out for a round trip, Zhu Hongyu first proposed to Luo Ye to help Qi Xing to resolve his worries.

Luo Ye hesitated slightly before agreeing.

The hesitation wasn’t about not wanting to help, but not wanting to hurt Qi Xing’s pride. However, upon deeper reflection, Qi Xing’s willingness to share his family affairs with them already showed he considered them true friends.

The ventures under Luo Ye, Liangyou, and Wenxin Garden weren’t places for idlers. When the time came, Yue Qin, Mr. Qi, and Mrs. Qi all had to rely on their own abilities to make a living, meaning this help was like offering coal in the snow, not charity.

Given Qi Xing’s character, he wouldn’t misunderstand her intentions.

However, even so, they still couldn’t tell Qi Xing in advance. Firstly, he’d be embarrassed to accept her help; secondly, it would spoil the surprise.

After weighing the options, the two decided to act first and inform afterwards.

From what Qi Xing said, Yue Qin is a kind but assertive woman, so the two of them naturally couldn’t bluntly say, "Come with us, we’ll take you to reunite with your husband."

"Sister-in-law, if given the chance now to reunite with Brother Qi, would you want to go?" Luo Ye asked with a smile.

"Of course." Yue Qin said, shaking her head, "I know right now it can only be if, given his current situation, taking our whole family out is impractical."

I don’t want to distract him and affect his future; as long as he’s doing well, I have no problem staying home for a lifetime."

"Stay for a lifetime?" Luo Ye gave her a glance, "Sister-in-law, it touches me deeply when you say that, but you and Brother Qi still don’t have children, and Yan’er isn’t of Qi’s descent. From the heart, Uncle Qi and Aunt Qi surely desire their own grandchildren."

If Sister-in-law stays here for a lifetime, she won’t be able to have children for the Qi family, and as for the reason, you surely understand without me saying."

But, I absolutely don’t mean to belittle the relationship between Sister-in-law and Brother Qi. On the contrary, I deeply respect Sister-in-law, for being a woman who sacrifices everything for love is truly admirable."
