Chapter 340 Regret

At the entrance of the Kuncheng courtyard

Gu Meng leaned against the wall, crackling sunflower seeds.

He glanced casually at Grandma Gu, who was constantly craning her neck towards the alley entrance.

He chuckled and said, "Grandma, don't worry, your little granddaughter won't stop your retirement money."

Grandma Gu glanced at Gu Meng, who was standing awkwardly, and frowned.

He raised his hand and subconsciously touched his chest, which felt stuffy.

She's had a bad feeling lately, and she doesn't know if it's related to Gu Yihan.

Seeing that Grandma Gu was ignoring her, Gu Meng pouted.

Turning my head, I looked at the alleyway not far away, hoping that the postman would ride out on his bicycle the next second.

Despite her calm demeanor, she was actually terrified inside.

Gu Yihan's living expenses this month arrived two days later than in previous months.

She was worried that Li Yajing, that little bitch, would tip off Gu Yihan.

Thinking of this, a cold glint flashed in Gu Meng's eyes.

The people in the courtyard looked at Grandma Gu with envy and sighed, "They say a daughter who has been given away is like water that has been poured out; you can't count on her."

“Look at Aunt Gu, she has a granddaughter from another generation, and she has never stopped receiving living expenses every month.”

"He's a hundred times better than that son who forgets his mother after marrying a wife."

Someone scoffed, "Come on, every family has daughters and granddaughters. How many are as filial as Aunt Gu's granddaughters?"

"Of course, I don't expect my daughter to receive forty yuan a month without fail, just like Aunt Gu's granddaughter after she gets married."

“I’d be overjoyed if she gave me ten yuan a month.”

Suddenly, a sarcastic voice rang out: "I wonder whose ancestral grave Gu Yihan's lover dug up in his past life to marry such a thieving woman."

The crowd that had been discussing the matter fell silent instantly, staring at Zeng Xiao, the young woman who had just moved in.

One of the older women disagreed with Zeng Xiao's words.

He stepped forward and argued, "Comrade Zeng, how can you talk like that? It's only natural for a granddaughter to be filial to her elders, how come you call it stealing?"

Zeng Xiao glanced at her, chuckled, and then raised her arm and clapped her hands twice.

He deliberately raised his voice and said, "Auntie, I wish your son would marry a gentle, kind, and filial daughter-in-law who will always be devoted to his wife's elders."

“Have your son give all his monthly salary to your mother-in-law’s family. That way, you won’t have to envy Gu Yihan’s grandmother; you can envy yourself instead.”

After saying that, Zeng Xiao deliberately covered her mouth and gave her a disdainful look.

Upon hearing this, the middle-aged woman who had stepped forward to argue turned cold and said in a chilling voice, "How can you have such a vicious mouth, woman?"

The people around: "..."

Zeng Xiao chuckled and said directly without beating around the bush, "Auntie, didn't you say that it's only natural for married daughters to be filial to their elders?"

"What? Isn't your daughter-in-law someone else's daughter?"

The aunt was furious at Zeng Xiao's words.

He strode forward, intending to scratch her smug face, but was quickly grabbed by the person behind him.

He quickly whispered in her ear, "Auntie, Zeng Xiao's father is the director of the Ministry of Industry."

Upon hearing this, Zeng Xiao glanced at the people behind the aunt and narrowed her eyes. She hadn't expected that there would be someone in this tenement who knew her father.

Then her gaze fell on the middle-aged woman who dared not speak out, she sneered, and walked straight past her with her head held high and chest puffed out.

Ever since she learned that the people in this tenement had a particularly good impression of Gu Yihan, she had been filled with resentment.

If it weren't for Gu Yihan's refusal to help Secretary Jiang, which led to his dismissal from the factory...

Father Zeng would not use Secretary Jiang's political stain and lack of a good future as an excuse to force himself to divorce her.

It was all Gu Yihan's fault. Before she could take revenge, the other party left Kuncheng.

Thinking of this, she turned around and glanced at Grandma Gu, who was pacing back and forth at the entrance of the courtyard.

He sneered. Gu Yihan ran away, but Grandma Gu is still here.

"Ring ring..."

The postman stopped his bicycle in front of Grandma Gu, greeted her with a smile, and handed her the letter he had prepared in advance.

The moment Grandma Gu saw the postman, her panic instantly subsided.

He nodded perfunctorily, quickly took the envelope, and eagerly tore it open.

When I saw the lone coin in the envelope, my heart sank. Still unwilling to give up, I looked at it again and again with trembling hands.

Seeing that the postman had walked away, Gu Meng waved the sunflower seed shells in her hand and walked over to Grandma Gu.

He stretched out his hand and said with a grin, "Grandma, give me five yuan. I've got my eye on a really pretty lipstick."

Grandma Gu, with a cold face, glanced at Gu Meng and said in a cold voice, "No money."

After saying that, he walked straight past her and turned back to the tenement.

Gu Meng was stunned for a moment, then saw that Grandma Gu ignored her and left on her own.

She stomped her foot angrily and cursed, "You old bastard, you eat at my house, live at my house, what's wrong with spending a little of your money?"

Upon hearing this, Grandma Gu paused for a moment, overwhelmed with regret.

Bringing Gu Meng back was the most regrettable decision she ever made.

She had thought that if she brought Gu Meng back, Gu Meng would be grateful to her.

Who knew that Gu Meng would not only be ungrateful to her, but would also hate her.

He felt that he and Gu Yihan were of one mind and had sent her to the farm together.

Thinking of this, Grandma Gu turned around and warned, "I spent all my savings to get you out."

"Alright, stop pretending to be poor." Gu Meng waved her hand impatiently to interrupt.

Grandma Gu was so angry at Gu Meng's attitude that she almost fainted. She took a deep breath, suppressed her irritation, and turned to leave.

Gu Meng sneered, strode forward, and snatched the envelope before Grandma Gu could notice.

When he saw that there were only five yuan inside, he was stunned for a moment, then looked up at Grandma Gu and asked, "Why is there only five yuan?"

Where did you hide the rest of the money?

Upon hearing this, Grandma Gu glanced at Gu Meng with a hint of sarcasm in her eyes and said coldly, "There's only five yuan this month."

Gu Meng's face suddenly turned cold, and she gritted her teeth and said, "That bitch Li Yaqing."

Grandma Gu glanced at Gu Meng and frowned slightly: "What does this have to do with Guan Liya Jing?"

Gu Meng gave Grandma Gu a cold glance.

He said coldly, "You've lived with Gu Yihan for so long, and you didn't even know that Li Yajing and her friend were together?"

How did you know?

Gu Meng was furious at her grandmother's stupidity and said coldly, "I overheard Hu Shan say something about it."

Grandma Gu didn't suspect that Li Yajing had tattled on Gu Yihan.

Now all she can think about is where Gu Yihan lives in Beijing. She wants to write to her and ask why her pension has been reduced.
