Rebirth in the 90s: Her Counterattack and Redemption

Chapter 1474: Chapter 861: Leaving (Part 3)

Don’t worry, when I leave I won’t just disappear. I’ll save the money I earn, everything I say is true. I want to give Zhuangzhuang a good life, it’s all true.

When I’m old and can’t work anymore, I’ll come back, and we’ll raise some chickens, grow some vegetables, and live like Tao Yuanming. But to live that kind of life, we must have money for retirement, right? You understand, don’t you? Feeling a bit muddled, Li Zexia spoke in a mixed-up manner.

"I understand." Wang Desheng sighed, "You’re not like the women in the village, I know."

Li Zexia laughed out loud: "Lazy and greedy is different?"

"No." Wang Desheng looked at her seriously. "You don’t want to do fieldwork, I’ve known for a long time. Before we got married, we agreed that you wouldn’t do work that harms your hands, and I promised that.

It’s my fault, sometimes I’m too tired and take it out on you. Actually, it’s because I haven’t fulfilled my promise, I haven’t given you a good life. I have no right to blame you, it’s all my fault..."

Hearing this, Madam Wang, who was holding her little grandson’s hand outside the door, quietly sighed in relief. Whether her daughter-in-law stays or goes, just listening to the conversation between her son and daughter-in-law tonight should ease her mind.

Thinking this, she picked up her little grandson and withdrew, knowing her husband was still at home waiting for news, probably as anxious as ants on a hot pan.

"Grandma, my mom isn’t leaving, is she?"

Seeing the little grandson finally ask when he stepped outside, Madam Wang felt a pang of sourness. Such a sensible child, she couldn’t help but kiss his cheek: "Zhuangzhuang is so well-behaved, your mom won’t leave Zhuangzhuang. Even if she goes to work now, it’s to give Zhuangzhuang a good life."

The little boy tilted his head and thought: "I don’t want my mom to go to work just to give me a good life. When I grow up, I’ll earn money to support her. Grandma, can I tell her that?"

Li Zexia’s mother-in-law nodded happily: "You can. When you go to bed tonight, you can tell your mom that."

As the grandparents and grandson just entered the yard, Mr. Wang hurried out, quickly taking the little grandson: "What’s going on? What happened?"

Madam Wang couldn’t help but give him a look: "Are you so anxious that you won’t go see for yourself?"

"Isn’t it because I’m afraid my temper might ruin things if I butt in?"

"Come inside and talk, Zhuangzhuang’s little hands are freezing cold." Madam Wang held Zhuangzhuang’s little hands with concern, "Sigh, what she said is right, when you’re poor, the children suffer."

After Madam Wang recounted everything that had happened to Mr. Wang, he remained silent for a while, then finally patted Zhuangzhuang’s little head: "Your grandpa and dad are to blame."

"Grandpa..." Zhuangzhuang climbed beside his grandpa, sensibly nestled into his arms, "Grandpa and Dad work hard, Zhuangzhuang knows."

"This child is so sensible it makes your heart ache." Madam Wang wiped the corner of her eye, "Old man, I think we should support her, perhaps it’s the best for Zhuangzhuang. What do you think?"

"Alright!" Mr. Wang nodded solemnly, "Let’s go and talk to them. The child has us, if possible, let Zhuangzhuang’s dad go to work too."

"Wait a bit, they’ll come over once they’ve talked things over. Don’t keep running around with Zhuangzhuang, his little hands and feet still haven’t warmed up." Madam Wang sighed as she spoke, "Both you and Zhuangzhuang’s dad never think things through, you act on a whim without considering the child."

"Heh heh..." Feeling half relieved, Mr. Wang’s mood improved a lot. He chuckled and didn’t argue.

After more than half an hour, barking was heard outside.

Not long after, the door squeaked open. Footsteps approached, and then Li Zexia and Wang Desheng entered the house.

Seeing smiles on both their faces, Mr. Wang and Madam Wang felt much relieved.

"Come to take Zhuangzhuang back to sleep?" Madam Wang asked with a smile.

"Dad, Mom, sorry for worrying you." Li Zexia first bowed to the elders before saying, "Dad, Mom, Desheng and I are thinking of going to work together. Could you both help look after Zhuangzhuang, is that okay?"

"Dad, Mom, that girl called and said she could arrange for me to work at their company too, and they’ll allocate a dormitory for me and Zexia." Wang Desheng added with a silly grin, "Accommodation is provided, not food. Twelve hundred a month for one person. If Zexia and I work for a year or two, we’ll be able to build a new house..."

Li Zexia discontentedly nudged him: "That money is for Zhuangzhuang’s schooling, save for the house later, didn’t we agree?"

"Yes, yes..." Wang Desheng, embarrassed, scratched his head, "Dad, Mom, I’m the only one in the family, while you’re still young, Zexia and I will go out and work. When you’re older, Zexia and I will stay at home to take care of you, okay?"
