Reborn in the 1980s: Recapture My Devoted Husband-Chapter 833 - 742: Looking for Trouble (Part 3)

"Yes, yes, I’ll definitely be more careful in the future," Aunt Wu said, feeling rather helpless. The two brothers were always fighting, and in the end, she, the worker, bore the brunt of it.

Ai, but these two were really childish, fighting over a pot of hot water.

Han Yike didn’t know what the maid was thinking. She approached and checked the water—it wasn’t boiling, but it was close enough. So she turned off the stove and took it upstairs.

By this time, Lin Wan was already asleep.

Han Yi gently and quietly wiped Lin Wan’s body, and also wiped down Little Star.

By the time Han Yi finished cleaning himself, it was already quite late.

He wasn’t tired, so he lay on his side next to them, thinking about what would happen in two days.

He wondered when Chen Haichang would take action.

Even though he already knew, why wait until now to start troubling the Mei Family?

Han Yi thought about it for a long time but couldn’t figure it out, and eventually, he fell asleep.

The family of three slept straight until past three o’clock before waking up.

Mei Shuping had gone to the army at about two o’clock, and as soon as he left, the people at home gradually woke up.

Only the family of three upstairs was still asleep.

Xie Lingzhi was sitting in the living room, seizing the opportunity to say a few words, "First day back home and already so lazy, I don’t know how the Lin Family educates their daughters... Oh, right, Lin Wan’s family grew up in the countryside, they naturally have no manners. Since she’s entered our Mei family’s door, from now on, when she goes out, her behavior represents our Mei Family. This behavior will surely bring shame to the Mei Family, don’t you think so, Mom?"

"Yes, they need to be managed."

Xie Lingzhi glanced at Old Mrs. Mei and saw that she said nothing, expecting her to take action. Heh, truly an old fox. If anything goes wrong or anything is said, it has nothing to do with her. She let Xie Lingzhi play the villain entirely.

However, she didn’t mind. She sided with Xiao Chi anyway. In the face of benefits, she didn’t mind being the villain; she didn’t like those two anyway.

"What kind of behavior is this? Still the eldest of the Mei family, yet I don’t know how he’s served as a soldier, so lazy, where’s he better than our Xiao Chi?"

Xie Lingzhi’s voice was loud, as if intentionally meant for those upstairs to hear. Coincidentally, Lin Wan had been awake for a while and didn’t know what to do downstairs. To avoid an awkward situation, they just stayed upstairs watching TV.

Everything Xie Lingzhi said, Han Yi heard it.

His face darkened, but he didn’t intend to go downstairs.

"Ai Yi, how about we..."

"It’s hot, let’s just stay in the room, what’s there to do downstairs?"

"That’s true, but they obviously want to pick a fight."

"Even if they want to pick a fight, there needs to be someone who responds. If no one does, their words are just wasted, and they are the ones who feel bad. Let’s just watch our TV."

"Dad, that grandma is really strict, stricter than our teacher; Little Star doesn’t like her."

"If you don’t like her, stay away from her. She doesn’t like us either, and neither does that uncle on the second floor."

"Oh..." Little Star pouted with a conflicted look. "Home is still the best; Grandpa said that when I go back, he’ll take Tuan Tuan and me to ride the go-karts."

Han Yi raised an eyebrow and said, "Are you brave enough to ride?"

"Yeah, Little Star is very brave."

The "go-kart" Little Star referred to was actually a tank. Last time Little Star saw it at the army base and wanted to ride it.

"Alright, when we go back, Dad can take you even without Grandpa."

"Yeah, Dad is the best."

"Sweet talker," Lin Wan pinched her little nose, smiling indulgently.

While the family of three was chatting, Xie Lingzhi continued her tirade downstairs.

"They’ve been up there with the TV on and the fan running for hours, not even caring about the electricity bill. Such wasters." She kept ranting until Liang Qian came over.

"Oh, who are you calling a waster, sister-in-law?"

"What’s wrong with talking about the people upstairs?"

"Ah, I see, you’re talking about Xiao Chi, right? Xiao Chi hasn’t come downstairs these days, staying in the room watching TV all day with the fan on, doing nothing; it’s a bit decadent."

"Sister-in-law, what do you mean by that? Our Xiao Chi just got out. Can’t he rest? How is that decadent?"

"Ah, there’s such a thing," Liang Qian was amused by Xie Lingzhi. "Even after coming out of reform through labor, he needs to rest, huh?"

"Liang Qian, say that again?"

"Did I say something wrong?" Seeing Xie Lingzhi’s furious look, Liang Qian felt satisfied. She shrugged at Xie Lingzhi and said, "Sister-in-law, that’s menopause for you, getting mad at the drop of a hat. Be careful, you’ll get more wrinkles."
