Chapter 116: Fight!
Gu Qingyao’s lips arched, and said, “My grandparents and I have eaten.”
Zhang Xiaohui was stunned, “Your sister and I have not eaten yet. Go and cook dinner for us now!”
Gu Qingyao smiled, “You’re so rich now, Mother. Why would you bother to eat at home?”
Zhang Xiaohui frowned.
“If you wanted food, you could just bring Sister and look for your rich friend in town. He could give you so much money and take care of you. I believe that he will not mind another meal.”
Her words sounded very unpleasant.
Zhang Xiaohui did not want to come back. The Qing River Brigade was in the countryside. This place was totally incomparable to the town.
However, both Wang Guozhu and she did not have money left. Wang Guozhu had not received any income as it was not his pay-day yet. She spent all the money on hand. They could not help but have to return home.
They did not even get to eat dinner in the town. She felt upset now.
The feeling of spending freely was addictive. She felt that she could not live anymore without spending.
She was irritated and said impatiently, “I’m ordering you to cook dinner now. Why do you have so much nonsense to say?”
Gu Qingyao sneered and did not reply to her.
She then spoke to Wen Ruyu and Gu Conghua, “Grandma, Grandpa, hot water is ready. You can take a bath and sleep. It’s late now.”
Gu Conghua and Wen Ruyu’s expressions were very unpleasant. Their reputation was ruined when such things happened in the family. However, they could not do anything to Zhang Xiaohui.
Wen Ruyu pitied her youngest son. He had to bear with such humiliation.
Gu Conghua took a glance at his wife and sighed. He then went to the kitchen to take hot water for her to bathe.
After they took the hot water, Gu Qingyao went to the kitchen and was about to lock the door. Though there was almost no food in the kitchen, Zhang Xiaohui and Gu Ruoqing might take the food if they were really hungry.
She did not want them to eat any food here.
Gu Ruoqing raged when she saw Gu Qingyao planning to lock the door.
“Gu Qingyao! What are you doing!”
She immediately dashed forward and grabbed her ponytail. Gu Qingyao raged and tilted her head so that she would be hurt by Gu Ruoqing. She then grabbed Gu Ruoqing’s wrist to stop her movement. If she did not stop her, it would be so painful once her hair was dragged by her.
Gu Qingyao’s other hand slapped Gu Ruoqing at the next second.
“Let go!”
Piak!
“Ah…”
She slapped with full force. Gu Ruoqing was not prepared and fell onto the ground. She was dazed.
Zhang Xiaohui was not prepared for it and stared at Gu Ruoqing falling onto the ground.
“Qingqing!”
Zhang Xiaohui realized what just happened. She screamed and dashed over, trying to slap Gu Qingyao.
“What do you want to do? Stop!”
Gu Conghua and Wen Ruyu came out of the room as they heard the noise. Gu Qingyao was alone outside. Both of them were worried for her. But the moment they came out, they saw Zhang Xiaohui was about to slap Gu Qingyao.
She was their only granddaughter and was very obedient. They both loved her and could not bear Zhang Xiaohui trying to slap her.
“Stop right now!”
Wen Ruyu and Gu Conghua ran forward and grabbed Zhang Xiaohui.
“Let go! You two old bastards. Let me go…”
Zhang Xiaohui had been living a good life for the past few days. She felt she had become another person, and looked down on Wen Ruyu and Gu Conghua.
She had always looked down on their identity. Now, she totally discriminated against them when such a thing happened. She would do whatever she wanted to do!
Chapter 117: Fierce Granddaughter!
Wen Ruyu was scared for Gu Qingyao and grabbed Zhang Xiahui’s arm. Zhang Xiaohui could not move and swung her arm to get rid of Wen Ruyu.
Wen Ruyu was just an elderly. How could she be able to fight Zhang Xiaohui? She was swung off by her immediately.
“Ruyu…”
“Grandma…”
Gu Conghua was shocked. He rushed to support Wen Ruyu. Gu Qingyao was further away so she could not reach her.
It was lucky that Gu Conghua was agile. He grabbed Wen Ruyu and prevented her from falling.
It was dangerous and even potentially fatal for elderly of her age to suffer a fall.
“Fuck off, old bastards!”
Gu Qingyao was furious. She saw that Zhang Xiaohui was still cursing, so she lifted her leg and gave a straight to Zhang Xiaohui’s stomach.
Bang!
It was a heavy kick, Zhang Xiaohui screamed in agony and fell to the ground squarely on her butt.
“Gu Qingyao! You little bitch, you dare to hit me! You…Ah…”
Zhang Xiaohui was not even back up on her feet. As she was cursing Gu Qingyao, Gu Qingyao did not hesitate to give another kick to Zhang’s chest, sending her rolling on the ground.
It feels good!
“Shut up!” Gu Qingyao screamed angrily. “You did not come home for so many days, causing the Gu family to lose face, and you are still thick-skinned to join us for dinner? Still dare to disrespect your elder? You think you can do anything you want when Father is not at home? You’re dreaming!”
Zhang Xiaohui rubbed her sore chest and she could not believe her eyes.
Is this really Gu Qingyao?
Since when did the little bitch become so fierce?
Even dared to hit her?
Gu Ruoqing just realized what happened. She could not believe that Gu Qingyao would beat her own mother.
“Gu Qingyao! How dare you… Arh…”
Gu Qingyao kicked her on the chest as well.
“Shut up!”
The couple stared at Zhang Xiaohui and Gu Ruoqing lying on the ground and looked towards their granddaughter.
Wen Ruyu, “…”
Gu Conghua, “…”
Their quiet and obedient granddaughter… When did she become so fierce?
Zhang Xiaohui and Gu Ruoqing were upset and angry as their new clothes were dirty. How could they bear with it when a young girl just beat them here?
The two of them got up and dashed over crazily, trying to beat Gu Qingyao. However, at this moment, the Zhang family was here.
Gu Qingyao’s lips twitched as she heard their voices.
She predicted that the Zhang family would definitely come over when Zhang Xiaohui returned as she was rich now. Thus, she did not even close the gate of the yard.
The Old Madam Zhang was the first to rush over.
“You little bastard, how dare you still come back? Where have you been in the past few days? Aren’t you supposed to take care of me? Where is your conscience?” she shouted as she entered the yard.
She saw Zhang Xiaohui wearing new clothes as she ran over. She opened her eyes wide and said, “How dare you to eat good food outside? Our entire family is suffering here. You unfilial bastard. I’ll beat you to death!”
Old Madam Zhang could not bear that Zhang Xiaohui lived a better life than her. Her favorite son was now suffering and lying on the bed. She could not even get good food for him.
How dare this bitch to buy new clothes?
Damn it!
Old Madam Zhang did not hold back when she beat Zhang Xiaohui. She grabbed her hair and pulled back with all her force.
“Arhhh…” Zhang Xiaohui’s head fell backwards as her hair was grabbed by Old Madam Zhang. She screamed out in pain.
Chapter 118: Old Madam Zhang’s Robbery
The married ladies at that age all braided their hair. It was easy for Old Madam Zhang to grab her hair. She pulled back her hair and beat her constantly. She did not even care where she was punching. Zhang Xiaohui’s back, shoulder, head and even her face were punched. She screamed and pleaded for mercy.
“You bastard! Your elder brother is injured, do you know that? You don’t come and visit us? We’re living such a hard life. How dare you go to the town and buy new clothes, new shoes? When did you become so capable? I’ll beat you to death!”
Zhang Xiaohui could not do anything to Old Madam Zhang. She could only plead for mercy.
“Mother! I didn’t. Please, stop! I didn’t…”
Gu Ruoqing’s first reaction was to separate her mother and her grandmother. Instead, she immediately went to her room to hide the stuff they bought.
Her second and third aunt saw her action and followed her. The moment when Gu Ruoqing stepped into her room, the both of them entered as well.
“Yo! What’s wrong Qingqing? Are you terrified by your grandmother? Why do you hide in the room?”
“These are the things you bought in the town? I heard that you even went to the city? Let me take a look!”
Both her second and third aunt were not some kind souls. Before Gu Ruoqing could react, they grabbed the things from her hand.
“Let me see what this is. This is all good cloth!”
“Aunt…” Gu Ruoqing panicked and was not willing to let go.
However, her second and third aunt did not care about her opinion.
Her second aunt’s surname was Yang, and her full name was Yang Chaodi. She shouted towards the outside, “Mom, sister bought so many goods back! People in the brigade were telling the truth. Come and take a look!”
Gu Ruoqing totally panicked. She tried to grab everything back and hide them.
The Old Madam Zhang heard that and let go of Zhang Xiaohui. She then immediately dashed into the room and saw Gu Ruoqing trying to snatch the cloth with red checks. She walked over and slapped Gu Ruoqing.
“Little bitch. Why do you need such things for? Fuck off!”
Old Madam Zhang would not pity Gu Ruoqing. She slapped her with full force. She was not good at anything besides quarreling and beating people.
“Ah…”
Gu Ruoqing screamed. She was swung to the side by Old Madam Zhang’s slap. Zhang Xiaohui came in and held her.
At the other side, Old Madam Zhang and two of her daughters-in-law snatched everything from Gu Ruoqing’s hands and continued to dig for more.
There was not much furniture. It was easy to look for things. There was only one cabinet inside Gu Ruoqing’s room. All her things were placed inside.
All the clothes and knitting wool were dug out. The three of them’s eyes sparkled as they saw the good stuff.
“No, the wool…”
Gu Ruoqing cried out. She would have nothing if her grandmother and her aunt took it all away.
However, Zhang Xiaohui grabbed her and did not allow her to go over.
“Mom…” Gu Ruoqing’s tears flowed down her face. But Zhang Xiaohui said, “That’s your grandmother!”
“But…”
“Come back with me to do your job! Your elder brother is still on the bed! Go now!”
Chapter 119: Her Watch was Taken Away too!
Old Madam Zhang was just a typical countryside lady. She had never seen such expensive stuff.
She might have seen it before as the Gu family still owned watches.
Mo Beihan owned one and so did Gu Qingyao’s uncle. However, the Old Madam Zhang only saw the watch from far. She envied them but she did not even have the chance to touch it.
Now, the actual watch was on her wrist. The cold feeling from the watch made it the most beautiful thing in the world.
It was really too pretty!
She could not tell the quality of the watch or its price. But everyone knew that watch was very expensive.
Zhang Xiaohui stared at her favorite watch taken away by her mother. Though in her consciousness, she must be filial to her mother. At this moment, she was not willing to let go of the watch.
It was the first time that she had such a good thing in her life.
She stared at the watch and said, “Mom… the watch…”
Old Madam Zhang immediately withdrew her arm and looked at Zhang Xiaohui cautiously, “What? I can’t use your watch? Do you know how hard it is for me to raise all of you up? I have never owned such stuff. How dare you fight with me?”
“How dare you keep it for yourself, bitch? I should have killed you when you were born.”
Zhang Xiaohui: “…”
Second aunt, Yang Zhaodi, smiled and said, “Xiaohui, Mom is old now. It’s reasonable that she owns some good stuff. You’re still young. You have plenty of time to get new ones.”
“Furthermore, your friend is so rich. I believe that he will give you more stuff. Am I right?”
Zhang Xiaohui: “…”
On second thought, she agreed with her sister-in-law.
It had been really difficult for her mother to raise her. She was old now and she should enjoy her life now.
If she was together with Wang Guozhu in the future, she would not need to suffer with Gu Yunshen anymore. She would have countless good things for herself and for her mother.
“Right! Since you can receive it as a gift from your rich friend, ask for more in the future,” Old Madam Zhang said.
Zhang Xiaohui nodded and did not say anything.
Old Madam Zhang grabbed her hand and said, “Let’s go home. Your elder brother is still lying on the bed. Go and take care of him.”
“He’s lying on the bed?” Zhang Xiaohui just caught the information.
“Yah! You’re out for so many days. Your brother was beaten up by someone and moaned everyday. You’re having fun outside. How can I not be angry?”
Zhang Xiaohui felt guilty, “Mom, sorry. It’s my bad. I’ll go back right now to take care of him.”
She then followed Old Madam Zhang.
Yang Zhaodi sized up Gu Ruoqing’s new clothes and then dragged her along, “Qingqing, go visit your uncle together.”
Old Madam Zhang then asked both of them to go.
Gu Ruoqing was not willing to go. She needed to do a lot of job at her grandmother’s house and she had no food to eat.
However, both Old Madam Zhang and Zhang Xiaohui insisted that she must go along.
Her uncle was injured and she must visit him.
They left the house but no one remembered Gu Qingyao.
Old Madam Zhang did not even recall that Gu Qingyao was also Zhang Xiaohui’s daughter. Zhang Xiaohui only treated Gu Ruoqing as her own daughter all these years. Gu Ruoqing’s personality also resembled the Zhang family. But Gu Qingyao was totally different.
Chapter 120: Zhang Xiaohui’s Pregnant
Gu Qingyao was Gu Yunshen’s only beloved daughter. The whole family liked her. In the Zhang family’s eyes, Gu Qingyao was more like a Gu family’s child and was not related to the Zhang family.
Gu Yunshen did not allow Gu Qingyao to go to the Zhang family. Zhang Xiaohui also did not want to bring her along. Gu Ruoqing was the granddaughter to the Zhang family and she should be the only one the Zhang family recognized.
She wanted to bring Gu Qingyao to the Zhang family to help them with chores a few times in the past. The girl was quiet but very diligent in doing her job.
She wanted Gu Qingyao to serve her family but was scolded by Gu Yunshen. She did not have the idea of bringing her back anymore after that.
After that, she treated Gu Qingyao as the Gu family’s child. She and Gu Ruoqing belonged to the Zhang family. They were the descendants of the farmers. The rightful people in the generation!
Gu Qingyao was just a little bitch in the landlord’s family. She deserved to be bullied and do all the chores.
After the group of people left, Gu Qingyao came out of the room secretly. She watched the family walking downhill and smiled.
She was lucky that she was neglected by Zhang Xiaohui.
Gu Qingyao could predict how the situation would be. Zhang Jianguo was still lying on the bed. The Old Madam Zhang would take away everything that Zhang Xiaohui had and asked her to buy more food for Zhang Jianguo.
Zhang Jianguo’s injury would not be healed soon. That lazy guy would spend more time on the bed if he realized that others would serve him with good food.
Zhang Xiaohui was so rich this time. The Old Madam Zhang would definitely ask her to buy more food. Based on Zhang Xiaohui’s personality, she would not reject her mother. She would try all ways to get money in order to buy some supplements.
The Gu family did not have much money and her father was not at home. Zhang Xiaohui was clear that even if she returned to the Gu family, she would not get anything.
At that point in time, she would further disdain the Gu family. And her desire to live with Wang Guozhu would be stronger.
The reality was the same as what Gu Qingyao predicted.
It actually went smoother than what she thought.
The Zhang family had never seen so many goods before.
They only received some food from the Gu family. Due to the Gu family’s identity, there were almost no goods in the family. Uncles and brothers might have but they would not send those back. It would catch people’s attention easily.
They would rather send back some fine food and meat for the elderly.
The Zhang family had never seen a watch or pretty cashmere and beaver wool.
Furthermore, there was even a watch!
Everyone understood that Zhang Xiaohui’s money must come from a man. Now, the whole Zhang family all disdained the Gu family. They tried to convince Zhang Xiaohui to get divorced and look for the rich man.
Gu Qingyao almost screamed in joy when she knew that.
Just leave!
I can’t wait!
She had been waiting for so long and finally she heard the news that Zhang Xiaohui was pregnant. She was so excited!
Zhang Xiaohui was the type of person that got pregnant easily. Gu Ruoqing was Wang Guozhu’s daughter. She could still get pregnant at that time, though they did not spend a lot of time together.
This time, they had been together so often. It was reasonable that she was pregnant.
