Rebirth: He refused to Divorce Again-Chapter 88 - If possible, he also wants to help her!

Chapter 88: Chapter 88 If possible, he also wants to help her!

“I’m speaking the truth, and besides, my grandfather already raised him and did his utmost. How could he still want to carry on my grandfather’s name? Besides, his family name is Kang; he probably doesn’t like me calling him ‘little uncle’ anyway.” Gu Qiaoqiao smiled as she looked towards Kang Shan, “I’m right, aren’t I, Uncle Kang?”

Kang Shan, “…”

Lian Yuhong hurriedly tried to smooth things over, “You girl, always rattling on. Hurry and go see your grandma with Ah Ze. Your mother will make dumplings for you tonight.”

Then, she warmly pulled Li Cuihua alongside, smiling very sincerely, “This child has been spoiled rotten by Ah Ze. Just yesterday, as soon as she got back to the village, she grabbed a stick and gave Zishu a beating. Let’s not be like her; come up to the kang and have some candy…”

Although Lian Yuhong wasn’t highly educated, she was exceptionally adept at dealing with people.

In her indirect way, she not only refrained from putting down her daughter but made everyone feel that Gu Qiaoqiao and Qin Yize were a loving couple.

...

So, Li Cuihua, being an adult, couldn’t hold a grudge against a child.

Li Cuihua’s expression improved greatly, and she also started to smile; she had heard about the incident.

They said that as soon as Gu Qiaoqiao returned yesterday, she chased Gu Zishu with a stick, some saying that going to the city had inflated her temper, while others mentioned that Zishu was just too mischievous.

If he wasn’t disciplined, he’d be out of control.

Afterward, Lian Yuhong extended her hand, pushing on Gu Qiaoqiao’s back, “Go early and return early. Mom will make you sour cabbage and pork dumplings tonight…”

Gu Qiaoqiao chuckled.

But the smile didn’t reach her eyes, which swept over two people. These two were dressed modestly in cotton-padded jackets made by themselves, covered by a khaki outer coat.

The outer coats were very new, clearly new clothes made for the New Year.

The Kang family had four children, three sons and one daughter.

The sons were at an awkward age.

They couldn’t do the work of adults yet, but their appetites nearly matched.

So, the Kang family’s days were ordinary.

Of course, aside from a few who went out to do business, the days of other people in the village were also plain and simple.

In the North’s countryside during the eighties, they were still not keeping up with the pace of the reform and opening up.

Therefore, compared to the South, they were always a few years behind.

And this Kang family, Gu Qiaoqiao had never heard from Gu Tianfeng in her last life that they had struck it rich, so where could they have gotten five thousand yuan to lend to his sister?

Five thousand yuan, half of ten thousand!

Even three years later, in Stone Town, that was still a considerable sum of money.

Gu Qiaoqiao followed Qin Yize as they walked outside.

Soon, they left Stone Town.

Her grandmother’s house was an hour’s walk from Stone Town.

Foll𝑜w current novℯls on ƒrēewebnoѵёl.cσm.

It was in Lian Family Village, the closest to Stone Town.

There was only one road wide enough for a horse cart that zigzagged through the fields.

Here, there weren’t any other means of transportation, but everyone was accustomed to it.

For rural folks, walking for an hour or so was nothing at all.

Gu Qiaoqiao was somewhat silent, seemingly calm, yet her mind was in tumult.

She kept feeling like the events from her past life were beads scattered on the ground, without a thread to string them together.

Where could Kang Shan have gotten the money for usury?

How did my naive sister get tricked?

All of these seemed like questions that would never find answers.

Qin Yize was carrying things when he suddenly stopped in his tracks.

The plains of the North stretched endlessly.

Because spring had already arrived, some of the snow had melted, exposing the dark soil.

But far away, it was still a vast expanse of white.

Gu Qiaoqiao was deep in thought when suddenly, Qin Yize next to her came to a halt.

She walked a few more steps before she realized it.

Looking up in a daze, she saw Qin Yize.

Because he was facing the light, his features weren’t very clear, but his deep, ocean-like eyes were unmistakable.

Gu Qiaoqiao felt the sunlight was blinding and squinted unconsciously.

Then Qin Yize walked over unhurriedly.

He stopped a step away from Gu Qiaoqiao, leaned in slightly, and gazed intently at her.

His heart was filled with too many questions.

How could one person have so many faces?

Just when you thought you had seen all there was to her, she would prove through her actions that there was much more.

The couple he had seen that morning had an honest appearance, typical of Northern farmers.

Perhaps they had some ulterior motives, or maybe they were eager to get to know him.

That was all quite normal.

Moreover, he had heard about this matter from Gu Tianfeng yesterday.

From the conversation, he hadn’t detected any deep-seated hatred between the two families.

However, the way Gu Qiaoqiao acted just now, not to mention her harsh words, but that one look.

It was chilling to the core!

He had always been doubtful, but it was rare for him to feel a chill down his spine like he did today.

Yes, that’s right, that look was not only startling but also sent shivers down one’s spine.

Regrettably, the couple was only focused on smiling flatteringly at him.

They indeed didn’t see it.

He looked closely at his little wife who said yes to marriage, divorce, and then regretted it at the drop of a hat.

Her face hadn’t changed.

Her complexion was fair, and under the sunlight, it seemed to radiate a faint luster.

Her curled eyelashes trembled lightly like butterfly wings, and although she never wore lipstick, her lips were as fresh as flower petals and were slightly parted at the moment.

It seemed as though she had a thousand words to say, yet she didn’t know how to begin.

And those eyes full of thoughts, under a state of complete unguardedness, spilled their contents like flowing water.

Whenever she would think, it seemed she isolated herself from the world.

And she wasn’t ready to let anyone know her troubles.

Even her parents were kept at a distance.

For the first time, Qin Yize looked at Gu Qiaoqiao so intently. Although he felt she had grown up, she was only nineteen years old, after all. What had she experienced that made her coldness and hatred inadvertently surface from time to time, sometimes with a desolation he couldn’t comprehend?

They were married last July, which was just a short seven months ago.

She had spent these seven months within the Qin Family.

He could understand her hatred for Bai Yun, her disdain for her own parents and Xiao Yu.

But her about-face toward Gu Zishu yesterday and her hatred for that couple this morning made him feel that Gu Qiaoqiao’s behavior was abnormal.

Her harsh words puzzled him.

When Kang Shan spoke to her, he was clearly at ease and even showed affection, evidently that’s how they used to communicate.

Yet she suddenly became aggressive.

He was somewhat shocked to discover that he could no longer ignore what he saw or heard.

He wanted to understand her, he wanted to know her troubles.

If possible, he also wanted to help her!

However, seeing the defensive shield Gu Qiaoqiao had put up again, Qin Yize knew she wouldn’t tell him.

A restless heart gradually calmed and settled.

But inside, there was a feeling of emptiness…

Gu Qiaoqiao, not understanding, asked, “What’s the matter?”

“It’s nothing,” Qin Yize paused for a moment before replying indifferently.

Just as he was about to stride away, he suddenly heard a young boy’s slightly hoarse voice not far away, “Sister Qiaoqiao…” After a moment of hesitation, he continued, “Big Brother Qin…”
