Chapter 517 Spending the Night at Guai Bao's House

If you plead for them, they'll definitely get beaten up too.

All I could do was sigh in my heart; my younger sister shouldn't have been so foolish as to listen to her mother-in-law and sell her daughter.

The elderly couple in the Chen family treated their daughter and daughter-in-law so well; they had always secretly envied their little sister for marrying into such a kind and generous family.

"What are you all standing there for?! Hurry up and move all that grain, oil, flour, and meat to the kitchen!" Old Mrs. Li ordered her daughters-in-law around arrogantly.

This time, I not only got the items, but also received a hundred yuan, which made me very satisfied.

"Okay, Mom," the daughters-in-law replied softly, and went forward to carry the grain, oil, flour, and meat into the kitchen.

Old Mrs. Li followed behind the group, supervising them as they locked everything in the cabinet and put the keys in their pockets. When she came out, she saw Li Chunhua still sitting in the yard, sobbing.

Her face immediately darkened, and she started yelling again, "Crying, crying, crying! All you do is cry, you're a bad omen! Don't even think about slacking off, get up and wash all the clothes right now. This family doesn't feed freeloaders!"

The thought of having another mouth to feed in the family made her angry, and she kicked Li Chunhua hard.

"Don't eat if you don't finish washing!"

Li Chunhua's tears flowed even more fiercely, but she dared not delay any longer and hurriedly got up to go into the house to get the dirty clothes to wash.

She knew her mother wasn't joking; even if she took a hundred yuan and some food from her, she really wouldn't give her any to eat!

He painstakingly drew water from the well and poured it into a basin. As soon as he put his hand into the water, he shivered from the cold and immediately pulled it back.

Well water is inherently cold, and it doesn't change temperature even in the sweltering summer. Taking a bath on a hot summer night feels refreshing.

But in winter, the well water can be chilling to the bone.

When there was no river water at Old Chen's house, they would draw water from the well in advance and let it sit for a while to dispel the cold.

On particularly cold days, they'll boil some hot water and add it in.

Moreover, in the past two years, she has left all the laundry work to Sanni, and it has been a long time since she has done laundry in the dead of winter.

But this is Old Li's house; if he doesn't wash his clothes, he'll be beaten and starved.

Overwhelmed with grief, Li Chunhua's eyes welled up with tears, but she could only endure the biting cold and begin washing the clothes.

That evening, Jiang Manyun picked up her son on her way home. She parked her bicycle at the door and called out, "Tingyun!"

Gu Tingyun led Helian Jiao out of the house: "Mom, I'm going to have dinner at the Chen family's house before going back."

He wanted to spend more time with the little hamster.

For this reason, the usually sensible young master Gu, who rarely troubles others, recently took the initiative to ask to stay for dinner.

Jiang Manyun knew that he was missing out on playing with Guaibao yesterday afternoon, so she joked, "Then you can sleep at Guaibao's house tonight."

To everyone's surprise, Gu Tingyun actually turned to look at Helian Jiao and asked seriously, "Sweetie, is it okay?"

He felt a little excited, as he had never stayed at Guaibao's house before.

"Sure!" Helian Jiao nodded in agreement.

Anyway, the bed is big, so it won't be crowded if we sleep together. She used to sleep with the big bad dragon all the time.

Perfect timing, we can have a snowball fight tomorrow morning!

Jiang Manyun:......

"You'll have to ask Grandma Chen about that," she said with a helpless expression.

Even if he said he wanted to be the grandson of the Chen family at this time, she probably wouldn't be too surprised.

After all, his own son really adores his baby!
