Rebirth in the 90s: Her Counterattack and Redemption

Chapter 765: Chapter 462: Visiting Xiao Xiao / Unexpected News (Part 2)

"Grandpa, we want to go see Xiao Xiao." Luo Ping said.

"Grandpa." Luo Ye tugged at the stunned Grandpa Luo, "We want to go see Xiao Xiao."

Grandpa Luo quickly nodded, "Sure, go ahead, seeing you might make her really happy."

...

When Luo Ye, Luo Lian, Luo Hua, and Luo Ping arrived at Xiao Xiao’s in-laws’ house, Xiao Xiao was sitting by the stove eating roasted sweet potatoes. Luo Hua wasn’t exaggerating one bit; Xiao Xiao had really gotten as plump as a ball.

"Pingping, Ye’er?" Seeing the people suddenly appear in front of her, Xiao Xiao was stunned for quite a while before reacting. She tried to get up but accidentally knocked over a stool and fell heavily to the ground.

"Look at you, already a mom, but still so clumsy." Luo Ye quickly helped her up, brushing off the dirt on her.

Xiao Xiao rolled her eyes in dissatisfaction, "Bad Ye’er, you promised you’d attend my wedding, but you didn’t show up. Everyone’s laughing at me, saying I was bluffing."

Luo Ping glanced around, "Why are you alone at home, where is everyone else? What about your son, Little Tiantian?"

Xiao Xiao chuckled, "My mother-in-law, father-in-law, and Ma Liang took him to get vaccinated; I’m watching the house."

The group was speechless; this mom surely had it together!

"Come, have a sweet potato. I roasted these myself, don’t look at me like that. I’m quite busy too, they’re off getting vaccinated, and I’m in charge of roasting sweet potatoes. It’s an art that not everyone can do well." Xiao Xiao said as she grabbed the charred sweet potatoes and handed them over.

Luo Ye peeled one and took a bite, savoring it, then nodded in satisfaction, "Hmm, Xiao Xiao wasn’t bragging, it’s actually pretty good."

"Of course. Pingping, have some, Sister Xiao Hua, eat up too. This sister, you eat too. I’ll keep roasting, guaranteed you’ll enjoy them."

Luo Ye pulled Luo Lian closer for introduction, "Xiao Xiao, this is Lianlian, she’s younger than you, you can call her Lianlian."

Xiao Xiao assessed Luo Lian, "Lianlian, you look pretty too, but just a smidge less than Xiao Xiao."

Luo Lian was momentarily dumbfounded, then smiled, "Thank you for the compliment."

Luo Ping and Luo Hua were speechless...

Xiao Xiao looked outside, mysteriously gesturing for them to come closer, "By the way, I have something to tell you, come closer so no one else hears."

They leaned in, "Go ahead."

Xiao Xiao whispered, "A few days ago, I saw Xiao Tian, guess where I saw her?"

"In your village?"

"Ye’er, you’re so smart, that’s right, saw her in our village, specifically at our neighbor Wang Shuan’s house." Xiao Xiao pointed next door and continued, "That day, Wang Shuan’s family was all out working in the fields, Wang Shuan brought Xiao Tian home. I heard a familiar voice, climbed onto the wall to peek, and saw Xiao Tian and Wang Shuan kissing."

"Did you tell anyone?" Luo Hua quickly asked.

Xiao Xiao shook her head, "No, my mom always told me that if you see something like that, unless you really trust someone, you can’t tell, otherwise, a woman’s reputation could be ruined, and she’d never be able to get married."

Luo Ye looked at Luo Hua puzzled, "Sister Hua Hua, does no one at home know about this? Not even a whisper?"

"No, absolutely nothing. When village girls come of age, matchmakers usually visit, except for Aunt’s house. Although everyone envies the Luo Family for having a big official like Uncle, Xiao Tian’s character is there, plus her arrogant demeanor, no one dares to go and embarrass themselves."

Luo Ping added, "Do you know why she keeps wanting to go to Island City? She’s hoping to marry a big official, my mom said she often talks like this with people in the village."

Luo Ye sighed, "We’ll see when we get back, anyway, nine times out of ten... sigh..."

"If this turns out to be true..." Luo Hua angrily bit into a sweet potato, "The Luo Family’s reputation will be completely ruined by her!"

"Forget it, let’s not speculate." Luo Ye waved it off and looked at Xiao Xiao, "Xiao Xiao, what do you think about Wang Shuan?"

"Not much to think about." Xiao Xiao grimaced, "Everyone in the village calls him a loafer, doesn’t work properly, only eats, drinks, and plays. He’s 29 and hasn’t even found a wife yet."

Luo Lian shook her head in confusion, "Qian Xiaotian can be quick-witted but she’s not dumb, how could she fall for someone like him?"

Luo Lian looked helpless, "Do women need a reason to be confused about these things?"

Xiao Xiao hushed them, "Stop talking, my father-in-law and mother-in-law and my man are back."

Luo Ye couldn’t help but mutter, whoever says Xiao Xiao is dumb? Whoever says so will have to deal with her.

After Xiao Xiao introduced everyone, Ma Liang’s parents were so nervous, they rushed to pour tea, only to accidentally drop the teapot and break it...

Seeing the elderly couple at a loss, Luo Ye quickly went over and warmly held Mrs. Ma’s hand, "Uncle, Aunt, we’re Xiao Xiao’s family. Don’t be so polite, just give us a cup of plain water with a glass."

"How could we? How could we..." Father Ma repeated over and over, even more flustered. To them, ordinary villagers who think of the Mayor as a big official, the Secretary of the City Committee is like an Emperor. The Secretary’s daughter naturally is a Princess, how could they be calm?

Seeing the elderly couple’s constant tension, after chatting for a while, Luo Ye exchanged looks with the others and then stood up to say goodbye. Xiao Xiao couldn’t bear to part, insisted on taking the child and husband, climbing onto the minivan to return to her parent’s house.

Watching the car drive away, the elderly couple from the Ma family grinned so wide their mouths nearly touched their ears, their son, daughter-in-law, and the Secretary’s daughter sitting in the same vehicle, what an honor?
