Rebirth: My Dear Little Wife Is So Scheming

Chapter 1351: Who Are You?

"What's going on? Did something happen to the wife?" Chen Zaizhi came rushing over, having heard his wife call out.

He saw an old man lying on his bed, eyes open, dazedly looking at them.

Pissed off, he rushed over, grabbed the old man's collar, and forcibly dragged him off the bed.

"Who are you? Do you know this is our house? Why are you sleeping here? On our marriage bed?" This room they had fixed up for their wedding, each item, from the bed to the wardrobe, was something the two had agreed to buy.

Suddenly finding a stranger in their bed, wouldn't this make him furious?

Chen Qidong happened to rush in from the kitchen and saw his son lifting the old man off the bed, about to lay hands on him.

He was shocked and quickly grabbed his son's wrist.

"Let go, what are you doing? That's your grandfather."

With this, Chen Zaizhi finally released his grip.

"Dad, what are you talking about? I don't have a grandfather, didn't you say he went missing long ago?"

Chen Zaizhi didn't have a deep impression of his grandfather, in truth, his grandfather had raised him as a child, but he had no memories of it.

As he grew older and lived in the city, he wouldn't remember the old man back in his hometown.

Later, he vaguely recalled his grandpa visiting once, but after his dad said something to grandpa, he just left.

Since then, over the years, whenever he asked his dad about it, he'd say his grandfather disappeared.

They didn't think much of it, assuming the old man went to live with relatives.

Now suddenly this old man appears, claiming to be his grandfather.

"What nonsense are you talking about? Call him grandpa quickly."

Chen Qidong's face turned red; after all, what he'd said before was inhumane.

This kind of talk shouldn't be heard by the old man, who'd definitely resent it.

"Grandpa!"

Chen Zaizhi grudgingly called out.

"But even if he's my grandpa, you can't let him sleep in our bed! What's going on here? We've only been newlyweds for six months, and you think people saying he's sleeping in our bed is good?" He wasn't having it; his grandfather couldn't sleep in his bed, how could he sleep with his wife?

"Shut up. Since you're living here, move to the small storage room first and let your grandpa have this room." Chen Qidong didn't care about the details; he needed to placate the old man for the sake of the 100,000 yuan.

Chen Zaizhi wasn't having it.

"Dad, what are you saying? It's so small, no windows, nothing, and yet so tiny! Are you expecting the two of us to squeeze onto a single bed?" Chen Zaizhi couldn't believe his father would suggest moving to such a small room.

Isn't he their beloved son?

"When I say move, you move. Your grandpa is living here. Don't you understand filial duty?"

Chen Zaizhi, filled with frustration, took his wife to the living room, sat on the couch, fuming in silence.

Li Caixia tugged at her husband's sleeve.

"What's going on? Are they actually expecting us to sleep in that tiny room? If so, you sleep there; I won't. In this heat, no windows, no fan, you're letting me sleep there and get heat rash?"

"You better ask your parents what's really happening. If they don't clarify, I'm moving back to my parents' house. This is pure bullying!"

Li Caixia was the only child, a daughter treasured like a princess.

Hearing this, of course, she couldn't tolerate it.

Ready to fuss and plan to move back to her parents' home.

Chen Zaizhi had to placate his wife and went to the kitchen to find his mom, as his dad scolded him, but his mom often protected him, so he needed to ask her what's going on.

"Mom, what's happening? Didn't you say grandpa isn't living with us, but at one of my uncles' houses? How come he ended up here? Our place is too small; where can he stay? Please say something, otherwise my wife and I will move to my in-laws' place."

It was a blatant threat.

In his view, every time he used this leverage, his parents would cave immediately; after all, he was their only son. If he really moved in with the in-laws and didn't come back, wouldn't they lose their son?

But this time, seeing his mom, Zhao Xue wasn't backing him up.

"Stop talking nonsense. Your grandpa's health is poor, only three months left to live, staying in our house for barely half a month. If we don't let him live well and eat well now, do you expect us to push him into the small room?"

"Just go to your in-laws and see if they'll have your back. No matter what you say, this is reasonable, it's filial duty."

Zhao Xue wouldn't forget to teach her son; they can't raise him to become as ungrateful as his father. Who would they rely on when they get old?

Hearing this, Chen Zaizhi fell silent. He hadn't realized his grandpa had only three months left.

If that's the case, they really couldn't mess around, it'd hurt the old man's feelings.

"But mom, that tiny room, how do you expect us to live there?"

He'd always been the little tyrant at home, never suffered such indignities.

"My dear, you just make do; it's only half a month. After that, he'll move to second uncle's house. It'll go in turns, staying with third, fourth, and fifth uncles too."

"It's the last days for your grandpa; don't we let him enjoy his time here? What else do you expect us to do? As a person, we should be filial to elders, shouldn't we?"

Facing her son, Zhao Xue was the embodiment of a righteous parent.

Seeing he had no choice, Chen Zaizhi went back to explain it all to his wife.

Li Caixia was speechless hearing this; what could she say? If she threw a fit and moved back to her parents, even they wouldn't agree.

With the old man's end near, staying at his son's house, could they, as grandchildren, really start fighting?

Left with no choice but to sigh, she returned to the small room to tidy up.

Make do; it's just half a month right?

No one understands how hard it is for the couple.

Meanwhile, Zhao Xue had set the dining table, food and drink ready.
