Rebirth in the 90s: Her Counterattack and Redemption-Chapter 95 - 77 Oh, Self-Inflicted Misery_2

Qiu Ya’s expression dimmed. When the children were small, both she and her husband were too busy with their business to take care of the siblings properly. By the time they built up enough wealth to focus on their children, it was already too late.

The bond between the siblings was incredibly strong, but they were not very close to their parents. Whenever they saw other children walking arm in arm with their parents, she and her husband felt such envy. Unfortunately, there’s no medicine for regret in this world, especially for their son, who hasn’t lived with them since high school, leaving them wondering when this rift might be mended.

Luo Ye happened to see his mother’s sad expression as he turned around. After a moment of hesitation, he finally took his brother’s hand: "Bro, let’s go."

Qiu Ya gave a bitter smile and followed.

...

"Master, I can’t do it anymore, I can’t run, can we rest for a while?" Luo Feng, with sandbags tied to his legs, felt like a fish slapped onto the shore, barely able to breathe in or out, and behind him was a pine cone dad, lying in wait to bite his ankles. Life was unbearable.

"Big Yellow, faster, increase speed!" Accompanied by Mr. Yu’s shout, the yellow pine lion dog rushed at Luo Feng with a howl, and Luo Feng, terrified, started sprinting, while Luo Ye watched her brother with sympathy. Oh my God, you can’t mess with Master; look at this, just too scary!

Actually, Luo Feng didn’t do anything outrageously wrong; he just secretly ate one of Mr. Yu’s baked sweet potatoes. He was really too hungry... well, of course, a good portion of it ended up in Little Yezi’s stomach.

"Mas... Master... heh heh..." Little Ye approached Mr. Yu with a flattering attitude: "Tomorrow, I’ll bake two more sweet potatoes for you, okay?"

Mr. Yu glanced sideways at the sycophantic Little Ye: "You think I don’t know you’re an accomplice? Haven’t you noticed he hasn’t been making much progress these past few days? I’m just finding an excuse to scare him, to help him overcome a hurdle. Look, he’s passed his limit now, doesn’t he run much smoother? Don’t you believe you won’t be able to outrun him tomorrow?" Unable to deny it, Little Ye saw a cunning gleam in Mr. Yu’s eyes.

"I believe!" Luo Ye hesitated for a moment: "Master, why don’t we let mom chase me too?"

Before Luo Ye could react, Mr. Yu whistled sharply, and mother pine cone dog charged over with a howl. Mr. Yu’s calm voice sounded: "You better run. You stole its daughter’s attention; it hates you now. If it catches you, it won’t show any mercy."

Oh my God, the retribution for my own words, how could I have brought this on myself, thought Little Ye as she ran. Although she was eager to develop superb skills, being chased by a vicious dog felt so damn unpleasant. That small mouth showed no mercy at all.

The corners of Mr. Yu’s eyes crinkled with amusement; life had become much more interesting since he took on these two disciples. Look, his own Big White and Big Yellow could also get in some exercise!

"Little Fengzi, Little Yezi, how did you end up like this?" As the siblings helped each other towards the entrance, they met Xiao Xiao and her future son-in-law chatting leisurely. Seeing the surprised look in the dark-faced man’s eyes, Luo Ye really wanted to let her puppy chase him until he dropped dead. Unfortunately, her puppy was just too small and cute to be intimidating, and she couldn’t command Big White and Big Yellow. Damn it, what’s with that look?

"Liangliang, help Little Fengzi, and I’ll help Little Ye." Xiao Xiao didn’t consider herself an outsider at all, while the man’s face turned red as he stood up to follow her.

Luo Ye quickly waved them off: "No need, we’re both sweaty; we shouldn’t get you dirty. It’s just a few steps home, Xiao Xiao. You better keep chatting with ’Brother-in-law’ and we’ll come find you after we’ve rested."

Little Ye was all too familiar with how to sweet-talk Xiao Xiao into obedience.

"Alright then, Liangliang, let’s wait here for Little Fengzi and Little Ye." Xiao Xiao, grinning and squinting her eyes, pulled the man to sit back down, while Luo Ye nearly grimaced with envy. Liangliang? OMG.

"Xiao Xiao, I have a request; don’t call me Little Fengzi anymore, just Little Feng is fine." Finally, Luo Feng couldn’t help but protest. Being called Little Fengzi over and over was driving him mad, and today he was even chased by a mad dog. It was all because she kept calling him Little Fengzi.

"I’ll call you Little Fengzi; it’s cuter! Right, Liangliang?" Xiao Xiao eagerly waited for praise from her companion.

"Xiao Xiao, Little Feng sounds better." The man was reasonably kind.

"Okay, I’ll listen to Liangliang."

Luo Ye and Luo Feng stumbled at the same time; it was a clear case of one thing dominating another.

"What’s your name, Liang?" Luo Ye asked curiously.

"I’m Ma Liang."

Little Ye and Little Feng stumbled again, then quickly entered their home.

"Ye’er, Feng’er, how did you get like this again?" Grandpa Luo looked at the two drenched figures with distress and confusion.

"Grandpa, I need to take a shower first." As she walked, Luo Ye muttered: "Just one sweet potato nearly caused a bloodbath, can’t steal sweet potatoes to eat anymore."

High up the mountain, Mr. Yu sneezed loudly: "Definitely Little Ye’er slandering."

Down below, Grandpa heard Luo Feng’s story and sighed: "You guys eat his rare delicacies and still steal his sweet potatoes. I made friends with him because of his sweet potatoes. That proud man took you as disciples, all thanks to those sweet potatoes."

Mr. Yu sneezed again on the mountain: "Who is slandering me now?"

...

After a tiring morning, Luo Feng went to bed early in the evening. Luo Ye went to Grandpa Luo’s room, her expression serious: "Grandpa, I have something I want to ask you."

"Ye’er, go ahead and ask," Grandpa Luo nodded, his expression also becoming solemn. He knew his granddaughter well; when she had that look, it definitely wasn’t about something trivial.
