Rebirth: My Dear Little Wife Is So Scheming

Chapter 1360: Different

The family returned home.

Liu Baoguo and Li Chunmei had already prepared the meal.

It wasn't until their son informed them that they realized their grandson was actually in Modu, in the same place as them, yet they didn't know the child was working for someone.

Upon hearing about Li Xiang's circumstances, Liu Baoguo also sighed.

Such misfortune.

All because of that bastard Li Shuanzhu.

A good child didn't stay in school, ran to this unfamiliar place, what good could come of it?

Even though the old couple knew Li Xiang, Li Lu, and Liu Hong weren't close, the grudges among adults shouldn't affect the children.

They weren't such people.

After all, the couple came from a village leadership background, they had at least some sense of responsibility.

Seeing Li Xiang follow Liu Hong through the door, Liu Baoguo and Li Chunmei hurriedly greeted him, "Come, come, take a bath first to get rid of the bad luck. These are new clothes, bought for you by your uncle. Change into them and we'll eat, your grandma made a lot of delicious food."

Li Xiang looked at the clothes handed to him, looked at the steaming dishes on the table, tears welled up as he hurried into the bathroom.

Under the hot water, he vigorously scrubbed away the sadness in his heart, his tears flowed silently with the water.

Finished washing, he came out to find the whole family waiting for him to eat.

Liu Baoguo noticed Li Xiang's restraint, and hurriedly called him over to sit by his side.

"Come, sit next to your grandpa, you're a big boy now, naturally you'll sit with the men."

Li Xiang remained silent.

Liu Baoguo frequently put food into Li Xiang's bowl, Li Chunmei did the same. Soon, La Xia and Li Xiang's bowls were piled high with food.

Liu Hong put a piece of braised pork into Li Xiang's bowl, "Don't think about anything, eat, have a good sleep, then think about what you want to do and tell me your thoughts. As long as they're reasonable, I'll support you. After all, I'm your mom, although I don't owe you anything, but for now, you're not an adult, and I have an obligation to take care of you."

He's her son; what can she do?

Really kick him out and ignore him?

She couldn't do it.

Li Xiang silently swallowed the food in his mouth.

He was stuffed.

Who knew this was the most filling meal he had in over six months.

Meat, vegetables, rice.

And he could eat to his fill.

No longer like before, where even leftovers were just a small bowl.

The first time he felt the happiness of a full stomach.

Of course, the side effect was feeling particularly uncomfortable in the stomach.

Simply put, he was stuffed.

After finishing the meal, Li Xiang didn't rest and promptly helped Liu Hong clean up the leftover food and dishes from the table, bringing all the pots and bowls to the kitchen.

Liu Hong had already picked up a rag to wash the dishes, but Li Xiang directly took the rag from her hand and pushed her out of the kitchen.

Li Xiang turned on the faucet, applied detergent to the rag, and began carefully washing each bowl and plate.

Watching the tall figure of the child, hunched over, focused on washing dishes in front of the sink.

Liu Hong was deeply pained.

From small to big, this child never had to do a day of work.

She grabbed a dry rag and stood beside her son.

Li Xiang washed the dishes clean, Liu Hong took them one by one and wiped them dry.

The mother and son didn't say a word, silently working together to clean all the dishes.

The atmosphere between them wasn't particularly harmonious, but it seemed the awkwardness was eased by this side-by-side task.

Li Xiang returned to the room.

After washing the dishes, there was no more work. Liu Hong went to deal with her tasks.

A call came from the branch store, she immediately took the car and left.

Now, both his older brothers came to help her, their branch stores had expanded to 15.

The consequence of good business is the three of them were almost dizzyingly busy.

Both sisters-in-law also got involved, although not considered main management personnel, at least they needed to familiarize themselves with the company's processes.

Not to mention the several kids at home, all sent to training schools.

At least they needed to learn computers, otherwise, they'd be unable to do even basic work like setting up files at the branch.

The kids were also very happy.

Modu was completely different from their small place.

They were delighted to see a different world outside.

As the door creaked open, Li Xiang silently raised his head, seeing his sister walk in.

Li Hao walked to her brother's side and sat on the bed.

"Big brother."

Li Xiang didn't say a word, stretched out his hand, and gently ruffled the black hair on top of his sister's head.

This little girl had changed a lot and grown taller too.

"Living with mom is very happy, isn't it?"

Anyone with eyes could see it, yet he couldn't help but ask.

A bit of sourness and bitterness in his heart.

Li Hao had often been taken care of by the siblings for fear she would become too close to mom, get influenced by mom.

Unexpectedly, she ended up living with mom.

And clearly, mom was very good to her sister.

"Big brother, mom isn't like you and sister say, she's a good woman, and she's especially good to me. I feel very happy living here, grandma and grandpa are very good to me, uncle and aunt are also fond of me.

Mom has changed from before, she loved us then too, but no matter how we scolded her or said any harsh words, she never retaliated or got angry. She always endured silently.

Back then, I couldn't understand, mom didn't do anything wrong, why was she like that, only those who've done wrong would be beaten and scolded without fighting back.

But now I understand, this mom is the real mom.

Mom is very good to me, loves me, takes care of me, but if I do wrong, mom will scold me, even punish me. Though I might talk back or get mad at her, I feel this kind of mom is the best mom."

Li Hao is too young to understand many things, she can only express her feelings based on her sense.

But this kind of feeling is the most real way to feel how another person is truly good to oneself.

It's not that she doesn't speak, nor that she can't feel, she can also analyze and understand.

"Yes, I used to think mom did something wrong and felt guilty, so she never dared to argue, but later I understood, she did it for us, if not for us, not loving us, not wanting to leave us one day.

She didn't want us to be uncared for.

If not for that, mom could have left dad years ago.

At that time none of us thought about this, we just felt mom did something wrong, she was atoning."

For the first time, Li Xiang objectively expressed this fact and admitted they were wrong.
