Rebirth in the 90s: Her Counterattack and Redemption

Chapter 1472: Chapter 861: Leaving

Ever since Li Zexia and Wang Desheng got married, the relationship between the two families has been rather distant. Father Li’s sudden move really surprised Li Zexia’s mother-in-law, leaving her at a loss for words.

"In-law, I know my daughter’s temper, and over the years, my wife and I have seen how you’ve treated her. She can’t find fault with you." Father Li said, turning his gaze to his daughter, "This time, I’m making a decision for you. You can’t go anywhere!"

"Why?" Li Zexia sprang up, "Dad, how can you be so unreasonable? Am I... am I even your real daughter?"

"What do you think?" Father Li glared at her coldly, "If you don’t want to be my daughter, you can leave. From now on, the Li family has no daughter like you."

"Then just..." Suddenly realizing the girl willing to take her to Beijing was connected through her brother, Li Zexia paused, unsure whether severing ties with her parents would still mean the girl would take her to Beijing.

The situation where everything goes wrong can’t happen! Thinking of this, Li Zexia quickly changed her expression to a smile: "Dad, the furthest place I’ve been since childhood is the county town. I want to go out and see the world.

I promise you, I’ll be back in at most a year. Haven’t you always complained that a mother like me might affect Zhuangzhuang’s growth?

Once I’ve seen the world, I’ll be calmer and won’t be uninterested in doing anything. Besides, this year, I can earn more money to help the family. From any angle, this is an opportunity, don’t you think?"

"Do you promise to come back in a year?" Father Li stared at her, "Can you swear?"

"I can!" Li Zexia’s expression turned solemn, "Dad, I really want to go out. Since I was young, I’ve envied those women in novels who always have their own ideas.

Back then, I insisted on being with Wang Desheng because he promised me that after marriage he would take me out to work and see the world.

But he lied to me. He doesn’t even dare to go out. All these years, I haven’t wanted to do anything and kept opposing him, all out of spite.

Dad, I don’t want to wait until my hair is gray, and the furthest place I’ve been is still the county town. I know what you’re all worried about.

You think that once I see the world and become prettier, I’ll have a wild heart and won’t come back. But really, I don’t plan for that.

I want Zhuangzhuang to have a good life and succeed, more than his uncle did. Since his dad can’t do it, when the opportunity presents itself to me, I truly want to seize it.

I’ve bottled these feelings inside me for years, but I’ve been afraid to speak them out, fearing you’d say I have a problem with my brains, afraid you’d say I only daydream all the time..." Saying this, Li Zexia broke down in tears.

Mrs. Li, looking at her daughter’s appearance, felt a pang of heartache and glanced at Father Li inquiringly, and Father Li nodded. "Then why..." Mrs. Li didn’t understand why, if Mayor Luo could persuade the girl not to take their daughter out, her husband still wanted to go through with it?

Father Li sighed, waved his hand at her, meaning to talk when they got home.

Li Zexia’s mother-in-law, seeing the old couple’s gestures, thought Mrs. Li was blaming Father Li out of pity for her daughter, quickly stepped forward to grasp Mrs. Li’s hand: "In-law, it’s our family that’s too poor, causing Zexia to suffer, alas..."

"Zexia, do you really want to leave?" A burly man with a dark red face suddenly emerged from behind the door, making his features appear somewhat indistinct.

Li Zexia was stunned for a moment, looking at the man before saying, "I don’t want to leave, I’m thinking about how to make this household not so poor anymore.

I don’t want to be able to eat something nice only when I return home, having Zhuangzhuang ask my mom for good food, and I can only get a taste. I don’t want the villagers saying I’m a lazy and greedy bad wife.

I want to go to parent-teacher meetings looking beautiful for Zhuangzhuang. I want others to envy you for having a capable wife, wish for Zhuangzhuang to have a capable mom.

However, you know, I can’t do heavy physical work, but now, with such an opportunity, I really want to give it a try."

The man took a step forward, patted Li Zexia’s shoulder, and looked at Father Li, "Dad, let Zexia go out and see the world. She’s right, I did deceive her.

I promised to take her to the big city for a venture, but I’ve been afraid that once she leaves, she’ll run off with someone, so I kept delaying.

Before, she’d quarrel with me about it. I’ve known she didn’t dare tell you, so each time I just ignored it, pretending not to hear, and she couldn’t do anything with me.
