Chapter 2041: Chapter 2042: Old Mrs. Zhang Reborn in ’70 Remodels Her Ungrateful Children 73

When Brother Li and his wife got home from work, they found Li Mu sitting dumbly on the sofa. The couple looked at each other, puzzled.

What’s going on? Why is the old lady off today? Brother Li glanced at his wife, who shook her head, indicating she didn’t know either.

Mr. Li came home from work to see his wife in a bad state, "What’s the matter?"

Li Mu saw them, took a deep breath, and talked about the situation, "I never thought Xiao Juan had changed so much from a long time ago."

Li Mu really didn’t know how to put it, she took a deep breath, "How could she be like this?"

The Eldest Sister-in-law watched Li Mu with red eyes and snorted inwardly, knowing Xiao Juan’s character only now? Changing from a long time ago? In her heart, Xiao Juan’s character had always been like this, it had never changed, only in the eyes of the Li Family, Xiao Juan seemed perfect.

Well, now they have seen Xiao Juan’s true self. The Eldest Sister-in-law knew she was selfish, but she never thought Xiao Juan would refuse to change even though she knew the situation was terrible.

Speechless, the Eldest Sister-in-law was truly bewildered, she couldn’t understand why Xiao Juan was still so willful, though she really envied Xiao Juan for having the confidence to be that way.

But soon, she began to worry, if Xiao Juan continued being so recklessly willful, would Wei He refuse to tolerate it anymore and propose divorce, then what?

Mr. Li couldn’t help but feel overwhelmed, "Did you ask Wei He if he would divorce?"

Right now, he was genuinely worried, if Wei He decided he couldn’t tolerate Xiao Juan anymore and brought up divorce, what would they do then?

With Xiao Juan’s personality, after she returns home, who knows what chaos she’d cause with her daughter-in-law. If Mr. Li had to choose, despite Xiao Juan being his own daughter, he’d still choose his daughter-in-law.

The daughter-in-law is filial and sensible, a person capable of living a good life, but Xiao Juan, with her kind of personality, simply isn’t someone who knows how to live well.

Brother Li watched Li Mu worriedly; he really didn’t want Xiao Juan to come back, not because he didn’t care for his sister, but because Xiao Juan had changed too fast, too much for him to comprehend.

Li Mu didn’t expect both men in the family were worried about Xiao Juan’s potential divorce, and while the daughter-in-law hadn’t asked, she knew she cared.

Li Mu knew what they were more worried about was the chaos at home if Xiao Juan divorced, although if she had to choose, she preferred not having a divorce.

Although she felt a bit sorry for Wei He, for the sake of the Li family, she could only let him suffer. "I didn’t ask, but I think as long as she doesn’t stir things up..."

Mr. Li snorted coldly at that, "Do you think what you’re saying is realistic?"

Li Mu felt awkward, "Well, I can’t control her, but I think, I think if she knows Wei He wants to divorce her, I think she might listen."

Actually, she wasn’t very sure, "I plan to try to persuade her." There was no other way, the family could only have her intervene.

Mr. Li hummed, "You go talk to her, don’t say anything extra, just tell her if she divorces, there’ll be no place for her in this home, let her figure it out herself."

"And anything that happens with Xiao Juan later is none of our business." Mr. Li said angrily, "This child has really been spoiled."

Li Mu heard Mr. Li say this and immediately remained silent, just quietly listening, knowing that if she spoke now, she’d surely face consequences.

Xiao Juan returned home in a good mood, thinking that since Li Mu went to see Wei He today, the latter should be obedient and make her dinner, right?

Unexpectedly, when she got home, she found the dining table empty, which made Xiao Juan very angry, "Wei He, you, you didn’t prepare my dinner, did you, didn’t my mom go to see you today?"

What’s going on? Wasn’t the old lady supposed to talk to Wei He, why is he still acting like this, it’s outrageous, really, not just a little bit outrageous.

"Yes." Wei He looked at the fiery Xiao Juan, his expression calm, "Auntie did come to see me, and I also explained why I’m not taking care of you."

"You don’t think I would still just take the blame like I did before, do you?" Wei He couldn’t help but let out a bitter smile, "I explained why I’m not taking care of you."

Even though Wei He said this, Xiao Juan didn’t take it seriously at all. Li Mu knows her personality well, "Back when I married you, you promised."

"Yeah, so I also told your mom that you fancy someone else and wouldn’t marry him, and that you don’t care whom you marry."

"That’s my stance; since you feel this way, what I’m doing isn’t wrong."

"As I’ve said all along, your salary is yours to spend, no problem, definitely no problem."

"I’m tired from work, I still have to do housework when I get home, no time to worry about your emotions." Lately, Wei He had been contemplating a question.

He always wanted to ask Xiao Juan but felt it was quite embarrassing, felt the question was a bit too much, but now he didn’t care how Xiao Juan felt.

After all, when a woman doesn’t consider you important, why care about her feelings, "Xiao Juan, I’m really curious, if you married the person you admire, would you still be spending like crazy?"

"You said that you were interested in me because marrying me was a lower match, you could act all mighty with me without any concern, but if you married him, would you bow and act humbly?"

"Would you handle all the housework at home?"

"Could it be that your previous crazy spending really scared the opposite party and made them think you weren’t suitable for settling down, so they kept their distance?"

With Wei He’s barrage of questions, Xiao Juan’s face visibly turned ugly, "Shut up, you, shut up."

"Don’t assume just because you can’t achieve it, he can."

"It’s your incompetence, your inability to fulfill your wife’s needs, you’re just an incompetent person."

"You’re nothing but a bum." Xiao Juan would never acknowledge her crazy spending could frighten people away.

"Your family’s conditions, the other party’s conditions." Right, the differences in family background, the Li family couldn’t compare to theirs.

Oh, so that’s it, Wei He responded, "You know how the world outside is tumultuous now, have you checked on the other’s current situation?"

"Have you thought about the possibility of their family being brought down?"

"Have they been sent down to a farm?"

"If you married them, would you also be sent down?"

"But no worries, I think you like them so much, you would be thinking of them even if married, no problem following wherever they’re sent." Wei He sneered.

"Alright, didn’t you say you didn’t have dinner, there’s nothing at home, better go out and eat quickly, but your mom says you’ve been trying to save money lately, living only on vegetables, probably can’t afford to go out."

"If you don’t eat dinner, save your energy, otherwise you’ll be hungrier."

"But don’t worry, missing one meal is fine, just get good rest."
