Chapter 160 Two Joys Clash
rest day
Gu Yihan was sleeping soundly in her warm bed.
"Bang, bang, bang."
The gate to the small courtyard was being pounded on loudly.
Hearing the knocking, Grandma Gu, worried about waking her sleeping granddaughter, quickly came out of the bedroom and headed straight for the door.
Upon opening the gate, she found a woman who looked to be around 40 years old. She had never seen this person before in the family compound.
He looked at her with a puzzled expression and asked in a low voice, "Who are you?"
Su Yonghong saw that it wasn't Gu Yihan who opened the door, but an old lady.
Knowing that this was her grandmother, she smiled and said, "I am Su Yonghong, and I work at the textile factory with Xiaohan."
Grandma Gu said "oh," indicating that she had never heard Gu Yihan mention this person before.
Worried that the textile factory might need to speak with Gu Yihan, he immediately asked, "Do you need to speak with Xiaohan?"
Seeing Grandma Gu standing at the entrance of the courtyard, Su Yonghong made no move to invite her in to sit for a while.
A hint of displeasure flashed in his eyes, but he stated his purpose without expression: "My daughter just happened to marry into the Wang family, and coincidentally, she is Xiao Han's neighbor."
"That's why I wanted to invite her over at noon to share in my daughter's joy."
Grandma Gu's face grew darker and darker as she listened, her chest heaving with anger. She stepped forward, shoved Su Yonghong aside, and shouted, "How could you be so vicious?"
Caught off guard, Su Yonghong stumbled as she was pushed, just in time to be seen by her neighbor, Aunt Chen, who had just opened the door.
Feeling humiliated by the sight of a stranger, she glared at Grandma Gu and demanded, "Why did you push me?"
Grandma Gu sneered, "Why? You tell me why! What kind of wedding invites a pregnant woman to share in the joy?"
Isn't this a curse on her granddaughter? A pregnant woman meeting the bride is bad for the baby in her womb.
After Aunt Chen understood the whole story, she walked over to Grandma Gu, looked at Su Yonghong with a puzzled expression, and asked in a low voice, "Invited Xiao Han?"
Grandma Gu glared at Su Yonghong and nodded slightly to Aunt Chen.
Aunt Chen looked Su Yonghong up and down and saw that she looked defiant. This was bullying people in the family compound.
She asked in an annoyed tone, "You're not young anymore, don't you know that two happy events clash?"
How could Su Yonghong not know that she had hated Gu Yihan ever since she refused to help?
Hearing Aunt Chen's question, he felt a little guilty, his eyes darting away, unable to look her in the eye.
Grandma Gu was furious. She immediately walked over to Su Yonghong and spat, "Pah, shameless bastard, full of bad intentions."
Su Yonghong was quite annoyed by Grandma Gu's changing attitude and retorted, "Xiao Han has already agreed."
Grandma Gu didn't even want to talk to Su Yonghong this time. She didn't even look at her and just waved her hand, saying, "Get out... get out..."
After saying "roll over" several times in a row, he turned to Aunt Chen.
He complained, "Some people are really wicked. They take advantage of their age to fool the younger generation who don't know anything."
Su Yonghong was furious at Grandma Gu's veiled insults.
He walked quickly up to her, raised his arm, and greeted Grandma Gu in the face.
When Aunt Chen saw this, she was shocked. How dare an outsider come to her door to bully her?
He stepped forward, grabbed Su Yonghong's wrist, and kicked her hard in the knee, pinning her to the ground.
He turned to Grandma Gu and said, "This woman needs to be taught a lesson; we can't let her off the hook."
Su Yonghong was stunned. He hadn't expected this old woman to be so strong. No matter how he struggled, she could hold him down firmly.
"Let me go, or I'll report you for practicing feudal superstition."
Upon hearing this, Grandma Gu's anger flared up. "You want to report me? Before you do, let Su Yonghong try out my Shadowless Iron Slap!"
She's the kind of person who's fought with shrewish women in Gujia Village.
"Slap...slap..." Several loud slaps stunned Su Yonghong.
"I'll teach you to report me, I'll teach you to be full of bad intentions, I'll teach you to try to harm my granddaughter."
Say one thing and you get a slap in the face, so hard the other person sees stars.
Seeing Grandma Gu hitting her so hard, Aunt Chen chimed in, "That's right, what kind of person is she? Does she really think we military families are easy to bully?"
"Oh, wrong... Waaah..."
Unable to break free from their grip, Su Yonghong could only mumble apologies.
What are you doing?
A roar erupted.
Deputy Battalion Commander Wang's newlywed wife was in tears because he couldn't find Su Yonghong. He had no choice but to go out and look for her since he couldn't find her at home.
As soon as they stepped out of the courtyard, they were shocked by the chaotic scene before them.
He rushed forward and, with a clever move, rescued Su Yonghong from Grandma Gu and Aunt Chen.
His face turned cold as he stared at Grandma Gu and the other woman, saying in a cold voice, "What right do you have to hit people?"
Grandma Gu never liked Deputy Battalion Commander Wang's family. Before the divorce, their home was always noisy and there was never a moment of peace.
This time it's even more outrageous; they found a wicked mother-in-law who's full of evil intentions and wants to harm their own granddaughter.
Aunt Chen wasn't afraid of Deputy Battalion Commander Wang. She glanced disdainfully at Su Yonghong, who was hiding behind him: "Why is it that officials are allowed to set fires but ordinary people aren't allowed to light lamps?"
Grandma Gu immediately chimed in, "If your mother-in-law wants to hit someone, do you think I'd just stand there and let her hit me?"
Upon hearing this, Deputy Battalion Commander Wang's temples throbbed. He glared at Su Yonghong behind him and asked, "Mother, is what Grandma Gu and the others said true?"
She shrank back in fright, touching her chin, her mouth filled with the taste of blood, and stammered, "Oh...oh, it didn't seem like it was intentional..."
Deputy Battalion Commander Wang's face turned ashen. He glanced at Su Yonghong, thinking, "He's causing trouble on our wedding day. What bad luck!"
"Mother, what's wrong with you?"
A soft, weak voice rang out.
Grandma Gu and Aunt Chen both looked at the woman who was speaking. She was wearing an ill-fitting military uniform and was as thin as a bamboo pole.
Zhang Xia walked timidly to Su Yonghong's side, lowered her head, and asked softly, "Mom, let's go home first."
Deputy Battalion Commander Wang glanced at Zhang Xia with disdain; she looked so petty and was far inferior to Lan Cao.
I wonder what kind of spell this woman cast on her mother.
He even threatened suicide to force him to marry Zhang Xia.
Deputy Battalion Commander Wang glanced at Zhang Xia and sneered, "Your mother's problems are your own to solve. Don't cry all the time like everyone owes you something."
After saying that, he went straight home and went inside.
Grandma Gu and Aunt Chen watched the whole thing, exchanged a glance, and remained silent.
Su Yonghong gripped Zhang Xia's arm tightly: "Let's go back."
Zhang Xia glanced at Grandma Gu and Aunt Chen, shrank her neck, and bowed to them.
She spoke weakly, "I'm sorry, it's my mother's fault. I hope you won't hold it against her."
Grandma Gu noticed her trembling eyes and sneered, "Don't let me see her again. I'll beat her every time I see her."
After saying goodbye to Aunt Chen, he pushed open the door and returned to the courtyard.
