Reborn in the 70s: Pampered by Regiment Commander-Chapter 1194 - 787: Unexpected

The first update has arrived.

-----------------------------------------------

After dinner and a brief rest, Chuxia pulled Li Xinli along for a stroll. Zhao Yulan, busy in the kitchen, put down what she was doing and quickly chased after them. Chuxia stopped her with a laugh: "Mom, you and Dad have been busy all day, take a rest at home. Don’t worry, Xinli is with me, I’ll be fine."

"It’s just the two of you young ones going out together, I can’t help but worry..." Remembering yesterday’s situation, Zhao Yulan was still frightened, insisting on going along.

In front of Li Xinli, Chuxia felt it inappropriate to emphasize that there were people secretly protecting them, so she just let her mother come along.

Her mom and dad were never ones to sit idle. In the past two days, while she went to school, they asked Wang Zhongliang to take them to a nearby factory to get some handcraft work to do at home.

This time it wasn’t making matchboxes but sewing picture frames, cutting thick cardboard into squares, wrapping with floral cloth and stitching them up. It’s not troublesome, and the price is more suitable than sewing boxes. Chuxia doesn’t allow them to work at night for fear of hurting their eyesight, otherwise her parents wouldn’t bear to laze around at night.

To make them agree not to work at night, she had to lay down some tough words: if they don’t pay attention to their health, neither would she. Just that sentence frightened them to comply obediently with her.

With the weather being high and the moon bright, the cold felt much lighter, making everyone’s mood inexplicably better. Upon returning home, the three wore pleasant smiles, and Lin Baohe was puzzled: "Did you encounter something good outside?"

"No, the weather is nice and so is the mood." Chuxia smiled at him, then walked up to Old Master Wan and snatched the book from his hand: "Grandpa, you need to take care of your eyes too."

"I’m fine..." Old Master Wan was just getting engrossed in reading, being interrupted felt like a cat scratching at him. He smiled at Chuxia, seeking favor, "Ten more minutes, I promise to rest after that."

Chuxia didn’t press him further, just reiterated: "You must keep your word."

Old Master Wan nodded repeatedly: "Of course, of course, at my age, how could I not keep my word?"

"Knock, knock, knock..."

Soft knocking sounds came from outside the main door. Uncle Wang quickly ran to open it, and soon, Lin Mengran and Yang Xiaoli swept in like the wind, sweating despite the cold weather.

Chuxia stared at them in surprise: "What’s happened to make you rush like this?"

"Quick wipe yourself, I’ll go brew some ginger soup." Zhao Yulan handed two dry towels to them and turned towards the kitchen. Lin Mengran pulled her back, "Auntie, please don’t bother, we need to leave soon."

Yang Xiaoli quickly took over: "Yeah, auntie, if it wasn’t urgent, we wouldn’t have come running like this..." As she spoke, she looked at Li Xinli, "Xinli, your mom and sister went to the school looking for you but couldn’t find you, your mom is downstairs cursing, and she’s cursing very nastily.

We went down to advise her, but she wouldn’t listen, said we shouldn’t interfere if we didn’t understand. We had no choice but to rush here to find you. Wu Jingbo is keeping an eye on things there now."

Li Xinli’s face turned red abruptly, then she spun around and ran outside, not even bothering to wear a coat, probably she was enraged, otherwise her manners wouldn’t let her leave without saying goodbye to the elders.

"Uncle, Auntie, Grandpa, we’re leaving, Chuxia, see you tomorrow." Yang Xiaoli said while grabbing Li Xinli’s coat and ran after her, Lin Mengran also waved at the family and followed.

"Why don’t we go over there too?" Zhao Yulan looked at Lin Baohe with some worry, "This kid is honest and it looks like she’s furious, she’s not one to speak much either, we can’t let her suffer."

Lin Baohe nodded: "Alright, whether we can help or not, we might feel more at ease going over there."

"I’ll go too." Chuxia had already bundled herself up with a hat and scarf, "If I’m not with you, the gatekeeper won’t let you two in."

Zhao Yulan and Lin Baohe: "..." How did they forget about that?

Eventually, they had to allow their daughter to join, but they also added Wang Zhongliang, which made them feel somewhat reassured. 𝐟𝗿𝐞𝚎𝚠𝐞𝚋𝕟𝐨𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝕔𝕠𝚖

When the group arrived at the girls’ dormitory building, there was already a large group of students gathered downstairs. A middle-aged woman sat on the ground crying loudly while hurling unpleasant curses, Li Xinli stood opposite her with lips pursed tight, face pale with anger.

Beside Li Xinli stood a gentle-looking girl, pulling at Li Xinli’s arm, speaking non-stop. Behind them were Lin Mengran, Yang Xiaoli, and Wu Jingbo, all with expressions of anger and helplessness.

After listening for a while, Chuxia was completely defeated by the vile language. Is this really her biological mom? Why was she so doubtful? Meanwhile, both the duty teacher and dormitory manager attempted to persuade her to leave, but she outright refused, continuing her grand act of cursing her daughter...

Reasoning with such a person is useless, who could be louder than her?

Thinking it over, Chuxia turned and walked away, Zhao Yulan, Lin Baohe, and Wang Zhongliang hurried to catch up, "Chuxia, are we heading back now?" Zhao Yulan asked, not quite understanding her daughter’s actions. Given her daughter’s character, she shouldn’t act this way...

"To Elder Yuan’s place." Chuxia replied, quickening her pace, "Dad and Mom saw it too, the duty teacher and dormitory manager couldn’t persuade her, what standing do we have to intervene?

With Li Xinli’s mother’s personality, we send one over, she defeats one; send two, she defeats a pair. So, it’s better to find someone who can handle her to deal with her."

Zhao Yulan looked puzzled, "Elder Yuan can handle her?"

Chuxia was speechless, "Mom, if Elder Yuan hears you say that, he’ll spit out three liters of blood."

"Didn’t you say to find Elder Yuan..." Zhao Yulan smiled awkwardly, "I’m just doubting, with Elder Yuan’s temperament, how can he be her match?"

"No one can match her unreasonable ways, but what if we use force?"

This time, not only Zhao Yulan was confused, but even Lin Baohe and Wang Zhongliang looked puzzled. Although Wang Zhongliang had never met Elder Yuan, just hearing the ’Elder’ convinced him it must be someone not young anymore. Can an older man really use force against this woman?

"What are you guys thinking..." Chuxia could tell they misunderstood, "I’m just familiar with Elder Yuan now. If he can be specially transferred over, he must have some connections at the school. Let him help get the school’s security staff over, wouldn’t that solve it?"

"Oh oh oh..." Zhao Yulan responded repeatedly, "I knew it, Elder Yuan didn’t look like someone who could use martial arts, so how could force be possible? Daughter, you’re quick-witted, your father and I didn’t think of it."

"What good do you think of? Comparing us with our daughter..." Lin Baohe sneered, "If our daughter was as dumb as us, do you think Xiaomi would like our daughter so much?"

Chuxia was instantly speechless...

Dad, is it really appropriate to brag about your daughter in front of outsiders? Especially when this so-called outsider is someone you said Xiaomi brought over...

...

Li Xinli watched her mother’s mouth open and close, feeling like her brain was about to explode. She always knew her mother didn’t like her and had gotten used to it, but she never thought her mother’s dislike could reach this level.

The divorce between her father and mother was her mother’s fault, but her mother didn’t think so at all, insisting it was her fault that led to their divorce.

And the worst part, her mother used all sorts of foul words to insult her, insinuating an inappropriate relationship between her and her father!

This is utterly ridiculous!

She and her biological father have an inappropriate relationship?! So amusing, such an honest father, such a tolerant her, and it’s resulted in this sort of insult!

If it weren’t for the last shred of rationality holding her together, she might have pounced over by now to tear that chattering mouth apart!

Her mind was a mess, she didn’t know what tomorrow would be like, she didn’t know what kind of look she’d live under at school in the future, she didn’t know if she could stay here...

Give up? No! She can’t!

If she gave up, she would really never recover in this lifetime, and she believed that even if she left school, this woman called ’mother’ wouldn’t let her go.

Right now, she was unsure of what was going on with Liu Jinli to make her this hysterical. Her sister kept nagging by her ear, meaning to give in to her mother, apologize, and promise to be filial in the future...

But she didn’t understand, what had she done wrong to have to give in and apologize, moreover, if she really did that, wouldn’t that mean everything was true?

If that were the case, she really wouldn’t need to stay at school anymore.

Although she didn’t know why her mother was doing this, she understood her intention very well, which was to use the crowd to force her to comply, so she would continue supporting her.

That is impossible!

In fact, if she’d had a nice talk with her, she wouldn’t be heartless, and when she truly had the ability, she would definitely be filial. Her mother was in too much of a rush!

She had just enrolled, and her mother’s eyes were already on her, and now, her focus is supposed to be on that bit of allowance in her hand, it’s a joke, does she not need to eat at school?

Her thoughts in her head were clear, but not a word could come out of her mouth, this feeling was like being in a nightmare, wanting to move but unable, wanting to speak but powerless...

Then, amid her stiffness, a group of people suddenly rushed in, and her mother was dragged out, leaving her brain buzzing, unable to understand anything...

When Li Xinli regained consciousness again, she found herself lying in bed, her mind still in chaos, echoing with her mother’s curses, unable to understand when she ended up in bed, even questioning if she was dreaming...(To be continued.
