Reborn in a small village in the 1990s

Chapter 21

"It's all because of that jinx Zhao Da'e, otherwise how could I have banged my head against the wall?" Wang Guixiang said angrily.

Zhao Tiesheng looked embarrassed and could only comfort her, "Mom, just walk slowly."

After overcoming numerous difficulties, the two finally reached the sixth floor, and Zhao Tiesheng then knocked on the door: "Excuse me, is this Zhao Chunqin's home?"

After knocking a few times, the door opened a moment later, and a middle-aged woman came out, asking before even opening the door, "Who is it? Who is it?"

When the door opened, the woman who opened it was Zhao Chunqin.

When Zhao Chunqin saw her second brother Zhao Tiesheng and mother Wang Guixiang arrive, she immediately felt embarrassed. She never expected that her mother and second brother would come so suddenly.

How did they find this place?

Zhao Chunqin never told her family where she lived. After all, she was now a person of status, a clerk, and associated with influential people. If people knew that she still had a bunch of poor relatives, what would they think of her?

Zhao Chunqin firmly believes that birds of a feather flock together. Her hard work and studies were all aimed at changing her former status as a country bumpkin. Now, Zhao Chunqin has been admitted to university, left the depths of the mountains, and moved to the county town; her dream has become a reality. She no longer has to toil in the fields, struggling to make ends meet. All of this is thanks to Zhao Chunqin herself; it is her hard work and dedication that has brought her this hard-won success.

Zhao Chunqin changed her fate, but she was terrified of people mentioning her background. She was a woman, and this journey had been incredibly arduous for her. She simply wanted a simple life, to never return to the countryside, to that impoverished and remote place.

Therefore, when Zhao Chunqin first saw Zhao Tiesheng and Wang Guixiang, she was surprised, then angry, and then her expression became somewhat strange.

"Mom, what brings you here?" Zhao Chunqin asked.

Zhao Chunqin didn't even need to think twice before realizing that her second brother must have brought them here. Otherwise, how could the old lady Wang Guixiang, who was already in her sixties and had hardly ever left the house in her life, have found this place?

Therefore, Zhao Chunqin's impression of her second brother, Zhao Tiesheng, plummeted to rock bottom.

He had meant well, helping his second brother have a son and giving Er Ya away, but what happened was that he ended up sending his own mother to Ba Li Zi. And now, what's worse, he's sent his own mother to his own home?

What does Zhao Tiesheng mean?

Wang Guixiang rolled her eyes: "Why am I here? Your mother just left Bali Village, and since I couldn't get a ride home, I came here."

Zhao Tiesheng nodded somewhat awkwardly.

“This…” Zhao Chunqin hesitated.

"Who's here?" A voice came from inside the house, followed by footsteps. A moment later, a middle-aged man wearing glasses came out. The man was of medium build, with slightly dark skin, and was somewhat thin.

This man was Zhao Chunqin's husband, Li Qingmin.

When Li Qingmin saw that it was his mother-in-law, Wang Guixiang, he was a little surprised and quickly said, "Mother-in-law is here! Come in quickly!"

And so, Wang Guixiang and Zhao Tiesheng were invited into the house.

Once inside, Li Qingmin quickly invited the two to sit on the sofa: "Second brother is here too. Mother-in-law, why didn't you tell me beforehand? How did you and second brother get here? You should have told me in advance so I could have arranged for a car from my workplace to pick you up."

Li Qingmin and Zhao Chunqin work at the same company and were also classmates during their school years, so their relationship is quite good. Li Qingmin's hometown is not far from Dongtaizi Village, and he often visits Wang Guixiang's family during holidays.
