Chapter 29: 29
Gu Qingyao laughed coldly . “Your surname is also Gu . You’re also an offspring of the Five Black Categories . What’s the matter? You don’t want to work but want to eat . You even direct others to serve you . You are a typical hedonist and are acting like a landlord . You’re the one who should undergo education through punishment . If you refuse to disobey, I will continue forbidding you to eat . ”
“My mother is a true peasant, and a proper revolutionary . It’s you who are…”

“It’s true that your mother is a peasant, but she’s not anything to shout about . She married into a family of bad elements like the Gu family, so she is also a bad element . My grandparents have already sincerely acknowledged their mistakes, and work hard every day as a profound act of self-criticism . They have transformed themselves through labor .
“What has your mother done? She married a bad element that she looked down on for the sake of some resources that my eldest and second uncle sent back to show filial piety for their parents . Then she spends her days lazing around, expecting others to serve her . Both of you are classic capitalists . You should be sent to the cowshed to reform . ”

“Rubbish!” Gu Ruoqing was so frightened that she turned pale .
She and her mother were finished if they ever received such a label . This Gu Qingyao was too evil . Was she driving her and her mother towards death?
But she did not recall that she and Zhang Xiaohui frequently used such threats on the Gu family .
Gu Qingyao laughed coldly . “Rubbish? I am not talking rubbish . To think that you still don’t know how to cook at your age . And you dare to deny you’re living a life of luxury?
“You spend most of your day outside playing instead of working . When you come back, you just sleep while expecting me to cook for you . Ah! What luxury! Just like the young mistresses in the landlord families . People like you should be…”

“Shut up, I’ve never done that!” Gu Ruoqing was ashen with fear, and her expression was terrified . The Gu Qingyao she was facing was terrifying .
Gu Qingyao’s lips arched in a cold smile . At this time, Gu Ruoqing was just a young, 15-year-old girl . She had grown up in a village and was not as mature as she had been in her previous life, so she was easily frightened .

“It’s not for you to say whether you have acted like that or not . The entire Qing River Brigade is aware of your behavior . Let me tell you – if you continue refusing to behave, the Gu family will not let you off . Someone like you is a threat to the family as long as you remain with us . You better hurry up and do your work, or you won’t get any dinner tonight . ”
Gu Ruoqing was thoroughly frightened by her . The Gu Qingyao standing before her was filled with righteous energy, which caused her to feel strangely afraid .

Also, her mother who always protected her was absent . Gu Ruoqing mumbled to herself, “It’s so late . What else is there to do? Cook for me first and I’ll work tomorrow . ”
Gu Qingyao said in a freezing tone, “The family’s clothes haven’t been washed! Wash them and you’ll get dinner . ”
“I’ve gone hungry for the whole afternoon . I don’t have any energy…”
“Then you can continue going hungry tonight!”

Gu Ruoqing: “…”
Gu Ruoqing had no choice but to look for her grandparents’ and Gu Yunshen’s clothes to wash . There was a well in the courtyard and she washed the clothes by the well .
She seldom did this kind of heavy labor, and now she was so hungry that she was seeing stars . Gu Ruoqing hated Gu Qingyao desperately .
After working on her knitted sweater for a while, Gu Qingyao saw that some time had passed and it was about four o’clock in the afternoon, so she went to prepare dinner .
Dinner was simpler . She steamed some wild herbs and sorghum bread, cooked a pot of porridge with dried sweet potatoes, and added a bit of white rice in it . The dried sweet potato porridge was slightly sweet . If it was only eaten occasionally instead of as a staple to fill one’s belly, she would think it quite delicious .
Gu Yunshen returned when she was halfway through her cooking .
