Rebirth: My Dear Little Wife Is So Scheming

Chapter 1362: Harsh Words

The next day, Li Xiang boarded a plane from Modu to their provincial capital.

Liu Hong, of course, knew she shouldn't spoil the child, but at that moment she had already started helping him contact schools.

The principal had already said he needed to report next week, and if he took the train, it would take a week round-trip, not to mention it would take at least two days to return.

Liu Hong thought about it for a long time and finally decided to help him buy a plane ticket.

Li Xiang reluctantly said goodbye to his mother and sister and set off for the provincial capital.

After leaving the airport, he took a bus directly to his father's rented place.

Although he didn't know his father's current situation, he knew that it was the only place where he could find him.

If that didn't work out, he planned to visit his aunt's place.

Arriving at the rented house, he knocked on the door, but to his surprise, it wasn't his father or Feng Qian who answered it.

It was another stranger.

"Who are you looking for?"

"I'm looking for Li Shuanzhu. He used to rent this place."

Li Xiang's heart sank; it seemed his father had moved.

"He moved out a long time ago. I heard he didn't even pay the rent in full and sneaked away in the middle of the night with a kid. The landlord has been looking for him for a long time. What relation are you to him?"

The man across from him had a somewhat unkind expression as he looked at him.

Li Xiang didn't speak, turned, and left. It seemed like Li Shuanzhu had been through a lot recently; otherwise, he wouldn't have left without paying the rent.

He took a child, which meant Li Lu was still with him.

He hurriedly made his way to his aunt's house.

The only hope was that his aunt hadn't moved yet.

After all, his aunt also rented that house. If she had also moved, he may have to go to his uncle's mother's house.

They had visited his aunt's mother-in-law's place many times, although the house wasn't big, it was provided by the factory, so they couldn't have moved from there.

Arriving at his aunt's bungalow, he knocked on the door only to find that new residents had moved in.

Li Xiang had no choice but to go to his aunt's mother-in-law's place.

Although this was a familiar place, looking for Li Shuanzhu and his sister was like finding a needle in a haystack.

At his aunt's mother-in-law's place, it was a communal dormitory.

The building had three floors, each housing dozens of families.

The layout of each unit was almost the same.

A suite with two rooms; the toilet and kitchen were shared.

The kitchen wasn't exactly shared, they just set up a small partition at their door, calling it a kitchen; the toilet and faucets were naturally communal.

This was a communal dormitory provided by the factory.

Just stepping in, he could hear children crying, adults shouting, and all sorts of noise. The crying, shouting, and yelling blended together, you could imagine how chaotic it was, and how those living there must be frustrated.

He was just about to knock on the door.

"Li Guihua, do you still think you're the pampered lady from before? Let me tell you, you have nothing now. No job, no house. You have the nerve to give me attitude. If you have the guts, go live on your own, why squeeze in with this old woman.

My son earns money to support you, yet you still dare to give me attitude. If you're not happy, leave. Go find your rich brother.

Don't think I don't know, I saw that day, your brother now pushes a cart selling pancakes outside the university, looking greasy every day. Obviously down on his luck. Without a rich brother as support, now you're part of our family, do what you should do, don't hope we'll worship you like a goddess anymore."

With a bang, the door opened.

Li Guihua stormed out, almost bumping into Li Xiang.

She looked up, ready to curse, but saw it was her nephew. She grabbed Li Xiang's wrist and rushed down the stairs with him.

"Li Xiang, where have you been? Do you also think that since your dad's broke and your mom has money, you'd go cling to your rich mom? I'm telling you, if you dare to be an ungrateful brat, see how I deal with you.

Your mom's no good, a piece of trash who dares to..."

Li Guihua, fuming with anger, cursed violently, saying whatever came to mind.

Li Xiang shook off his aunt's hand.

"Aunt, one should have a conscience. How dare you curse my mom? Anyone else might, but what right do you have to curse her? Since my mom married into your family, she ate, drank, and used everything without missing anything of yours, without lacking any of yours.

If it weren't for my mom, how could you have the good life you have now? If not for her, you'd still be in the village feeding pigs and raising sheep.

If anyone's ungrateful, it's probably you."

Li Xiang's loud rebuttal, so emotional and intense, was a first; this attitude startled Li Guihua.

This nephew always listened to her and was indifferent to his mom, never expecting him to speak for her today.

Li Guihua quickly reacted, intending to slap Li Xiang.

"What did you say? How dare you, I'm your aunt, you have no respect, say anything you want. Who's ungrateful? If your mom wasn't trash, marrying my brother, what man would want her? If it weren't for her money, you think your dad would marry her, a second-hand woman?

Now she's ungrateful, took the money and left, divorced your dad. Why should I remember her good deeds?"

Li Xiang was already fourteen, with a height of 1.72m, taller than Li Guihua. Having built up resistance to his father's family, he wouldn't let Li Guihua hit or curse him at will now.

He grabbed his aunt's wrist, preventing her slap from landing on his face.

"Aunt, I call you aunt because over the years you were indeed good to us, but that doesn't allow you to insult my mom. My mom made bad choices, meeting bad people, that's her own fault, nothing to do with you. Why step on her mistakes, spending her money, and talking bad about her?

My mom's mistakes are her own to bear, but that's no reason for you to bully her. If you want to hit me, it's not going to happen. I'm not wrong, and I'm telling you, I'm here to find my dad, and you need to give me the address so I can go myself."

Li Guihua's earlier words and awful attitude had already left Li Xiang completely disillusioned with Li Shuanzhu's family.

Why didn't he see it before? With the nature of his aunt, uncle, and father, how could they possibly be truthful?

His mom did so much for them, diligently and without complaint, why?

Simply because of the three kids, otherwise, with all the wealth she brought in, would she be bullied by such a family?
