Volume 1 Chapter 225 Gu Jingjing figured it out

Sheng Wanyan looked down and saw Gu Jingjing biting her lip with a sad look on her face.

"Jingjing, Third Auntie will take you to paint, okay?"

Gu Jingjing's eyes lit up: "Okay."

Sheng Wanyan smiled and took her to the living room to paint. Gu Jingjing took out the paintbrush she gave her last night.

Mr. Gu and Mrs. Gu looked at them with great affection. Gu Tingxiao went to the room and put the food he brought back in the kitchen.

He also has friends in the circle, and when he saw her painting at home, he went out to sit with her friends.

"Wife, I'm going to go out for a while and meet up with some of my childhood friends in the compound. We're at the Liang family next door. Do you want to go?"

"I'll teach Jingjing how to draw, you go ahead."

Sheng Wanyan was not interested in the party, and it was snowing outside so she didn't want to go out.

Gu Tingxiao nodded, went upstairs to get a small blanket to wrap her up, poured her some hot water, and then went out.

Sheng Wanyan drew some simple little animals and asked Gu Jingjing to color them, and Gu Jingjing did the coloring very seriously.

Sheng Wanyan discovered that the child was quite interested in painting, and she chose the colors herself.

She used beige and white for a little rabbit, and also used several colors for other animals.

The combination was a bit messy at first, but the colors became more unified later on.

Sheng Wanyan raised her eyebrows when she saw this and began to teach her how to draw straight lines and circles.

Gu Jingjing's drawings were crooked at first, but they got much better later. Sheng Wanyan then taught her how to draw a few patterns of small animals.

Gu Jingjing has a good ability to imitate and she was able to draw a picture that was 70% similar the first time.

"Does Jingjing like painting?"

When Gu Jingjing heard her question, she blushed and nodded a little embarrassedly.

"like."

After hearing this, Sheng Wanyan had some thoughts in her mind. Gu Jingjing's family was not good, but she was born into a famous family like the Gu family.

It was agreed, but she met such careless parents, which made it easy for Gu Jingjing to develop a bad personality in the future.

She has to find something she likes so that her mood and thoughts will not be influenced by her parents.

"Aunt has a few picture books. Can you give them to Jingjing?"

When Gu Jingjing heard this, her eyes lit up for a moment, but then she thought of something and her eyes dimmed again.

"What's wrong?"

"Third Aunt, if Jingjing takes it home, Mom will tear it up."

"Girls can't learn this."

As Gu Jingjing spoke, her eyes became red. Grandma Gu felt heartbroken when she heard this.

"Your mother is wrong. Girls should do what they like and learn what they want to learn."

"Auntie, please give the sketchbook to Grandma for safekeeping. Can you come to Grandma's house to paint in the future?"

Gu Jingjing smiled happily when she heard this, and gave the sketchbook to her grandmother for safekeeping so her mother couldn't tear it up.

"good."

When Grandma Gu heard that Gu Jingjing liked painting, she had some plans in mind, but it was not the right time yet and she had to wait a little longer.

"Go buy some paintbrushes and paper and keep them at home. Ask the fourth child to bring Jingjing to stay at home for two days on weekends."

"Jingjing can go to school in September. Ask the fourth child if he has chosen a school."

Mr. Gu’s words made Gu Jingjing’s eyes light up. Can she go to school?

My mother said that girls are money-losing goods and have no right to go to school, and everything in the house belongs to my younger brother.

She wanted to go to school. She saw her brother making many good friends by going to school and being very happy every day.

I want to go, and I want to be happy.

She didn't want to live at home, but her great-grandparents and grandparents lived with her uncle's family and couldn't take her with them.

But now I have two days a week to paint, and I am very happy that I don’t have to work at home.

All this was because of my third aunt. With just a few words, she changed my situation.

I wish my third aunt was my mother.

Gu Jingjing couldn't help but think about what her mother said to her some time ago. She said to find a gentle mother for her.

She said that she would be adopted by her third uncle and aunt, who had no children and would treat her very well.

Gu Jingjing couldn't help but think of her third aunt's gentle appearance, and her heart was filled with anticipation.

She was not sad about leaving her parents, but full of anticipation.

But now she knows that her third aunt cannot be her mother because she has her own children.

She envied the younger brothers and sisters in her third aunt's belly because her mother was a very good mother, the mother she had always wanted to have.

She was very sad at first, but today both her great-grandfather and great-grandmother protected her.

Even though Third Aunt hasn't become my mother yet, she is still trying to protect me.

She understood that even if Third Aunt was not her mother, she would still protect her, so it was nice when Third Aunt was still Third Aunt.

My third aunt is very good, my eldest aunt is also very good, my great-grandparents, my grandparents, my brothers and sisters are all very good, and my father is also very good to me. Only my mother is not good.

So, it doesn’t matter even if my third aunt is not my mother. I will remember her kindness and repay her when I grow up.

Sheng Wanyan rubbed Gu Jingjing's head. Gu Jingjing had never laughed happier than now.

When Grandma Gu saw that she was finally no longer depressed, her eyes became red.

No matter how gently she and Gu's mother treated the child, he always looked depressed.

He doesn’t like to laugh, and his eyes are always timid. He doesn’t have any childish energy or playfulness.

Now that I've figured it out, things will naturally get better in the future.

Gu Tingxiao came back before dinner and brought back 2 kilograms of meat and 20 kilograms of fine grains. It seemed that he had gone out with his friends.

Sheng Wanyan didn't ask. After all, Gu Tingxiao grew up in Kyoto and naturally had his own connections.

Gu Tinghao also came back that night, looking a little unhappy. When Gu's mother saw him, she knew that something bad was going to happen.

"Tell me, where's the money?"

Gu Tinghao rubbed his eyebrows and knelt down.

"No need to kneel, this is the wife you chose yourself."

"Just tell me what's going on."

Gu's mother is already disappointed with the fourth son's family. After marrying such a daughter-in-law, the fourth son has no future to worry about.

Since the big one couldn't be saved, she would focus her attention on Jingjing.

"She took most of the money back to her parents' home, leaving only 2,000 yuan."

When Mother Gu heard this, she sneered, having already guessed that this would be the outcome.

"So what are you going to do about it?"

"She's pregnant... I asked her to go back to her parents' home and come back after getting the money."

When Gu's mother heard his answer, she had already figured it out. The fourth son was not cruel enough, and Wang Chunmei was pregnant, so they could not divorce.

“What if the money can’t be returned?”

"I...I don't know either."

"I was blind to marry her. I feel sorry for my family."

Gu Tinghao obviously had lost his energy and spirit, but Wang Chunmei was pregnant and there was nothing she could do.

"We have already separated. You can decide for yourself."

"As long as you feel you have done justice to your two brothers and your father's life of risk and suffering, that's enough."
