Reborn in the 90s with a Space: Winning Back My Husband

”Sister-in-law, what are you talking about!”

Guo Chunxiang’s words grated on Miao Cuifen’s ears. She shot Guo Chunxiang a look of deep dissatisfaction.

”What, did I hit a nerve? Getting angry now that I’ve exposed your little scheme? I knew you were up to no good coming here today. ’Coming to visit your old father,’ my foot! It’s obvious you’re just here for our family’s money!”

”You...”

”Enough! COUGH, COUGH...”

Miao Dagui roared, but accidentally choked on his breath and broke into a coughing fit. Shen Nian, who was nearby, immediately got up and went to his side, patting his back to help him catch his breath.

”Grandpa, please calm down. Don’t be angry. It’s bad for your health.”

Of course, Miao Dagui knew his current condition wasn’t suited for anger, but what his eldest son’s wife had said was just too infuriating!

”Xiao Nian, I’m fine.”

After shaking his head at Shen Nian, Miao Dagui’s gaze shifted back to Guo Chunxiang. This time, however, his expression was nowhere near as friendly as before.

”Money, money, money! Is that all you see? I’m not dead yet! What, are you already thinking about dividing up my assets?”

”Dad, that’s not what I meant. I was clearly talking about them...”

Having been the head of the family for many years, Miao Dagui had a certain authority when he was truly angry. Seeing that he was genuinely furious, Guo Chunxiang lost some of her nerve.

”I have ears, I can hear for myself. I can also tell who’s right and who’s wrong! This money is your mother’s and my coffin money. You brothers split the household and have been living on your own for years now. What, are you so jealous that you want to snatch even this bit of coffin money from our hands?”

”Dad...”

”I’m not talking to you. Eldest son, you speak up. Make it clear today, just what does your wife mean by all this! Is it that I can’t even use my own coffin money anymore? Do I need your wife’s permission now?”

Miao Dagui didn’t even look at Guo Chunxiang anymore, his eyes fixed on Miao Changfu, who sat silently beside her.

In the past, Guo Chunxiang had always been the one to make decisions in situations like this. Miao Changfu had long grown used to staying meekly on the sidelines.

But now, having been called out directly by his old father, how could he continue to cower there and say nothing?

”Dad, I...”

”’I’ what? What, do you feel the same way as your wife? Do you want to snatch this old man’s coffin money?”

”Dad, how could I ever try to snatch your coffin money!”

Of course Miao Changfu wouldn’t admit to such a crime. A son stealing his own father’s coffin money—if word of that got out, they’d be too ashamed to show their faces in public!

”You won’t snatch it? Then you tell me, what did your wife mean by that? In your house, who’s the one in charge?!”

Miao Changfu had been through too much provocation today. He was a man, after all. It was one thing to be pushed around by his fierce wife on a normal day, but this was his parents’ home, in front of all their relatives. And this issue had been thrown in his face several times now.

A fire of wounded pride, long suppressed deep within Miao Changfu, was now burning fiercely.

’What man doesn’t want to stand tall and proud, to have his word be law in his own home? Even though his wife has been walking all over him for years, that desire was always there, buried deep inside!’

And at this moment, that desire in Miao Changfu’s heart was stirred up once again.

”Of course I’m in charge! Chunxiang, apologize to Dad right now!”

”Changfu, what did you say? You’re telling me to apologize?”

Even if the person in question was their father, in all her years of marriage to Miao Changfu, Guo Chunxiang had never once been forced by him to apologize to anyone!

”Apologize! If you don’t, watch out or I’ll smack you!”

Once he had started, the rest of the words came much more easily. It was the first time Miao Changfu had ever been so firm with his wife—firm enough to say something like that.

”Dad, how can you talk to Mom like that!”
