Rebirth in the 90s: Her Counterattack and Redemption

Chapter 1451: Chapter 849: Sisters Reunited

After listening to Zhu Hongyu, Ying Nuo couldn’t help but shiver: "Why does your story make my whole body chilly? It’s... too creepy!"

"If you had been there at the time, you wouldn’t think it was creepy." Luo Ye’s eyes reddened, "Isn’t Dou Dou more human-like?"

"Luoluo, Dou Dou will come back." Ying Nuo softly comforted, she was also very fond of Dou Dou, and was quite upset when the little thing went missing.

Luo Ye forced a smile and said nothing more. She couldn’t honestly tell Ying Nuo about Dou Dou’s situation. If it had just flown away, she wouldn’t worry, but...

"What are you talking about? The atmosphere is so oppressive." Luo Feng walked in carrying a thick folder, and when he reached Luo Ye, he ruffled her hair, "Who’s bullying our girl?"

Zhu Hongyu shrugged, stretching his tone: "Do you reckon... either Nuonuo or I... could have that ability?"

Seeing her brother looking at her with concern, Luo Ye took a deep breath and put on a smile, "It’s nothing, just thinking about Dou Dou made me feel a bit sad. Did the Deputy County Magistrate leave?"

"He’s gone..." Luo Feng shook his head with a smile and added, "He wanted to ride his motorcycle away."

Ying Nuo opened her mouth wide in surprise: "Not... even able to arrange a car? In this weather, riding a motorcycle such a long distance... might cost him half his life."

"He had come riding a motorcycle, and before the meeting, he shivered in front of the stove for half an hour. When he left, we considered using the Santana to send him, but he declined." Luo Feng shrugged, "There’s no alternative, Secretary Qin went to the county."

No need to say more, everyone understood.

Currently, there’s a strong push to save public resources, and this Deputy County Magistrate wanted to make a good impression in front of the big boss in the city, even if it meant freezing, he would gladly do it. Couldn’t ruin his good deed.

Luo Ye glanced at the time, stood up: "It’s getting late, can’t head to the village now, brother, let’s go see Granny and Granny Qi.

It happens that the granny of the comrade we visited today, Granny Qi, is Granny’s elder sister. The two old sisters haven’t met in over three years, now they might be hugging and crying their hearts out."

"Alright, you go first, tonight, we’re going with Li Zejun for a matchmaking."

"Who is he being set up with?" Ying Nuo excitedly stood up, "I was planning to match him with Luo Feiyin, hasn’t even started yet and it’s declared over?"

"On the way to the meeting at noon, he got a call from his family, urging him to come back. Saying this time the girl is exceptionally suitable, after hearing his family’s description, Li Zejun became interested enough to consider this match.

In this cold winter, he rode a bicycle back and got his face frozen blue, how would the girl even like him? Let’s be kind."

"I still think Luo Feiyin is quite good." Ying Nuo murmured again. Zhu Hongyu surveyed her, chuckling, "Are you worried she has her eye on someone?"

Ying Nuo proudly nodded her little head: "Tut! Let her fancy him if she wants, I already figured it out. If someone else snatches him, there’s still Luoluo, Luoluo would never let him get away!"

Luo Ye: "..."

Luo Feng: "..."

"Can you siblings stop making such a synchronized expression?" Zhu Hongyu laughed looking at Luo Ye and Luo Feng, equally speechless, "What Ying Nuo said is true, with Luoluo around, what is there to fear?"

...

Luo Ye and the others returned home, where Granny and her sister were having a lively chat, both laughing like flowers, nowhere near crying with heads buried in each other’s shoulders.

Seeing the group enter the house, Granny Qi hurriedly moved to the edge of the kang, "Come up and warm yourselves, you three girls, so tender and waterish, how can you stand this cold?"

Ying Nuo stepped forward to introduce herself: "Granny Qi, hello, I am Ying Nuo."

Granny Qi grabbed her small hand and pulled her up: "Hello, Ying Nuo, little one, come up and get warm."

Ying Nuo climbed up the kang, sitting next to Granny Qi with a troubled look: "Please call me Ying Nuo, Granny. I’m no longer a little child."

"In my eyes, you all are children." Granny Qi said while pulling a quilt over Ying Nuo’s legs, "It’s cold here, got chilled, didn’t you?" She said as she stretched to pull Luo Ye and Zhu Hongyu, "Come up, all of you, don’t stand below, girls shouldn’t get their feet cold, it’s no good for childbirth."

Luo Ye and Zhu Hongyu felt their heads spinning, since when did cold feet relate to childbirth? But they understood the old lady’s meaning.

The saying goes that cold and dampness attack from below, which harms a girl’s vigor, making pregnancy more burdensome in the future.

Actually, this saying has some truth. Heavy dampness and cold in a girl’s body can lead to a cold womb, making pregnancy indeed more risky.

Once Luo Ye was seated, Granny held Luo Ye’s small hand, squinting and smiling: "I heard from my big sister, she’s going to the big city to enjoy life. Luoluo, you’re truly a great benefactor to us sisters."

"Granny, I don’t dare accept your words."

"You deserve it, you deserve it. After the New Year, I’ll be going to stay at my daughter’s house," Granny’s eyes squinted in amusement. Clearly, she had been looking forward to this day for a long time.

And it makes sense, as people get older, who doesn’t long to share happiness with their children and grandchildren? Who wants to end their life in loneliness?

"In the past, I thought our home was poor, afraid my mother would suffer if she came over. Actually, my mom living here by herself isn’t necessarily better off than being with us. She might as well move in with us, then we’d be at ease, and she’d be at ease too," Granny’s daughter said, sticking her head out from the kitchen to explain.

Granny’s son-in-law quickly chimed in, "It’s all my fault for being useless. She’s been with me all her life and hasn’t enjoyed any days of happiness, only hardship."

"How did this turn into a criticism gathering?" Luo Ye said with amusement, waving his hand at the two, "We’re still waiting to eat the piping hot sweet potatoes, can you hurry it up?"

Granny’s daughter responded while pulling her head back, "It’ll be ready in ten minutes. These sweet potatoes dried well, they’ll come out sweet as honey when cooked."

Talking about food reminded Granny of Luo Feng, her face dimmed, "When I go to my daughter’s house, I’ll have Granny Wang next door help Xiao Feng with boiling water and cooking meals. I’ve already arranged with her to make a portion for Xiao Feng at night, and she can use my rice, flour, and firewood." She said, wiping the corner of her eye, "That child Xiao Feng is really lovable."

"Look at you being so hopeless. Just now, you cried for half a day hearing Yue’e was taking you away, and now you’re crying for half a day thinking about leaving Xiao Feng.

You tell me, you’ve lived to such an age and still cry red-faced and blue-nosed over the tiniest things, quite unlike Third Sister..." Granny Qi suddenly stopped, clearly remembering her earlier theatrical antics.

Granny continued explaining, "Among us three sisters, our parents didn’t care much for any of us. However, relatively speaking, they treated Third Sister the best. Whatever good food was in the house, she got a share. Elder Sister and I only worked.

So, she developed that spoiled and unreasonable temperament. If you don’t agree with her, she gets unhappy. Today I thought she was old enough to have some sense of family, but alas!"

"Ring ring ring..."

In the midst of conversation, the phone at Granny’s house rang. She picked it up, and it was Third Sister, crying over the phone.

If Luo Ye and Zhu Hongyu hadn’t seen her theatrical nature firsthand, they’d think she suffered some great injustice. The sound of her sniffling through the phone was truly... disgusting.

She lamented about being bullied by Elder Sister today and being ignored by her nieces and nephews. How could the two sisters just abandon her once they’ve climbed high branches, blah blah blah...

Luo Ye and Zhu Hongyu along with Ying Nuo were rendered speechless. This person truly could turn black into white, wrong into right, and nothing into something... wait!

Finally, Granny Qi couldn’t take it anymore, snatching the phone, "Liu Aqiao, listen up! From now on, you’re not our sister, and we’re not your sisters. If you want to disgrace us, go ahead! When you’re down below, you can complain to mom and dad as much as you like!"

With that said, she decisively hung up the phone, scoffed, "Someone like her, you can’t speak to nicely. She’ll think you’re scared of her. By leaving her in isolation, she’ll behave."

"Ring ring ring..."

"Since no one’s calling, just unplug it." Granny Qi said, then quickly yanked the phone line, "I’ll show her who’s boss!"

Half an hour later, Luo Feng burst in breathlessly, "What are you guys doing? No one’s answering phones, not even mobiles; what’s going on?"

Luo Ye glanced at the disconnected phone line, his lips curling up playfully, "You... called Granny’s house?"

"Yes, I called many times, but no one answered." Luo Feng frowned at the trio, "Where are all your mobiles? I tried all three of yours separately, none of you answered."

"They are all with me." Ying Nuo said while pulling out the three mobiles, "Oh, there really are missed calls. I dressed too thickly, couldn’t feel the vibration, hehe..."

Luo Feng was exasperated, "Why do they all end up with you?"

"She was playing games, testing each phone," Luo Ye pretended to sigh, "Still not grown up. So, are we heading out now?"

"Yes, let’s go early. It’s hard to see clearly if we’re late. This is Kunzi’s big day, and he’s very eager; we can’t let him down."

Granny Qi hurriedly stopped the few about to get off the bed, "The sweet potatoes are done cooking, eat to warm up before you go."

Luo Ye smiled and explained, "Granny, my brother’s colleague is having a blind date tonight. We need to send him back. We’ll eat when we return."

"That won’t do, sweet potatoes are best eaten while whistling fresh out of the pot." Granny Qi was adamant, holding onto Ying Nuo’s sleeve tightly.

Zhu Hongyu quickly negotiated, "Granny, that’s his big event. How about this: we’ll each take one to eat on the road, OK?"

"Alright." Granny Qi reluctantly agreed, while Granny squinted and smiled, looking at her sister with eyes full of admiration. (To be continued. If you enjoy this work, feel free to visit Qidian () to vote with recommendation tickets and monthly tickets. Your support is my greatest motivation.)
