Gu Qingyao ignored her and went straight to her room . She did not care what happened next .
Gu Yunshen told Zhang Xiaohui to clear the bowls and chopsticks, but Zhang Xiaohui angrily refused . Gu Yunshen laughed coldly and said, “What’s the matter? We entertained your family . The entire family came to my house to eat and drink, and I hosted them as well . Now you are not even willing to wash the bowls?
“Zhang Xiaohui, let me warn you to watch your attitude . Otherwise, you won’t have food to eat in the future . We used up so much food today, and I’ll deduct it from your share and Gu Ruoqing’s share . You better start working . ”
Zhang Xiaohui and Gu Ruoqing became frightened the moment Gu Yunshen lost his temper . They had no choice but to clear the table .
When they had brought all the bowls and chopsticks to the kitchen, they looked at the plates that had been polished clean . They had even used the pancakes to soak up the last drop of soup . When she thought of the fragrance of their lunch dishes, Gu Ruoqing cried in rage . “Mother, I want to eat meat, I want to eat meat . I haven’t eaten meat for a long time .
“I only managed to eat a little bit the last time, but before that, we didn’t eat meat for a long time . We eat coarse grain day in and day out . And this lousy place is so smelly, I don’t want to stay here anymore . Boohoohoo, I never have anything nice to eat . Why did you give it to Grandmother’s family!”
Zhang Xiaohui frowned . “Qingqing, she’s your grandmother . Your uncles are her sons . Sons will carry on the family name and take care of your grandparents . Bringing those things back was the proper thing for me to do . Do you understand?”
Old Madam Zhang favored sons over daughters and she had passed on this thinking to Zhang Xiaohui . Zhang Xiaohui had diligently gone back to the Zhang family as an act of filial piety, but the Zhang family had taken her for granted . But Zhang Xiaohui felt that she deserved it .
Gu Ruoqing had grown up like this, and was used to her mother .
“But… but now there is nothing left at home . Grandmother and the rest took so much . They’ve gone too far!”
“Shut up!” Zhang Xiaohui berated her . “So what if your grandmother took a little? They’re getting old and I am not there to take care of them . Your three uncles work hard, so what if they took some meat? How can you speak of your grandmother like that?”
“But…”
“No more buts . In the end, it’s because the Gu family is too poor!”
Zhang Xiaohui said disdainfully, “The Gu family has amounted to nothing in the end . A landlord family will always be considered a bad element . Your grandparents have labored all their lives, but the Gu family can’t even afford to let them eat a few things . I’ve slaved for years after marrying into this family, but can’t even honor my parents a little . Ultimately, it’s because the Gu family is useless . ”
After some thought, Zhang Xiaohui spoke again . “Remember when we were in the town? Look at the kind of houses the people there lived in . What kind of lives did they lead?
“Their houses were much nicer than our house . They were clean and had more than one storey . They could work in the factories and draw a salary every month . In the city, grain is provided every month and they have coupons . What does our family have?”
Gu Ruoqing was filled with envy when she thought of everything she had seen in the town . When she contrasted it with her own home, she felt even more discontented .
“Mother, when can we live like city folk! The Gu family is too poor . I don’t want to stay here any longer!”
Gu Qingyao, who was standing outside the door, heard all this . Her lips twitched . She didn’t want to stay here any longer?
Wonderful!
Let me help you .
Gu Qingyao went back to her room and thought carefully . She decided to seek Mo Beihan’s help the next day . She would let Gu Ruoqing personally witness how good life would be with her real father!
