Chapter 17 Grandma, a forced melon is not sweet. I want to give up this time.
"I told you, there's nothing between Yue Rou and me, don't you believe me?"
Zhao Chengyan stood up so fast that the large movement caused the curtain on the door to tear apart, completing its mission ahead of time.
He impatiently shook off the tattered cloth on his arm, and shouted loudly with anger in his eyes:
"You wanted to marry me in the first place, so why do you want a divorce now? Why? Don't you want Chao Chao anymore? Or did that soldier who hugged you yesterday steal your soul away?"
Zhao Chengyan approached step by step, with overwhelming anger.
Gu Wanxing subconsciously took two steps back.
"Zhao Chengyan! Is it wrong for you to say that? It's clearly you who cheated and behaved improperly, yet you're blaming him! He's a PLA soldier who saved my life, and instead of being grateful, you're slandering him. Do you think everyone is like you? You're disgusting."
Gu Wanxing said gritting his teeth. She didn't expect that his thoughts were so dirty. Not only was his body and mind unclean, but his brain was also so dirty.
"I have nothing to do with Yue Rou—" Zhao Chengyan emphasized again.
"Do you dare to swear? Do you dare to say that if you like Gu Yuerou, your whole family will die? Do you dare?"
Zhao Chengyan seemed to be very angry. His lips were tightly pursed, but he couldn't hide his trembling. His chest was heaving violently, and there seemed to be two blazing flames burning in his scarlet eyes.
He was silent, because he didn't dare to swear. Yue Rou was gentle and generous, smart and intelligent, and ambitious, no one could compare to her!
Who doesn’t like such a perfect woman?
Compared with Yue Rou, Gu Wanxing is simply vulgar!
Seeing this, Gu Wanxing stretched out his lips and smiled, he was laughing out of anger.
She was already extremely beautiful, and her smile was like a peony blooming in spring, so beautiful that it was beyond words.
Zhao Chengyan had to admit that the woman in front of him was like a bright pearl, she was the most dazzling no matter where she was.
But... so what? How can a person's goodness or badness be described by appearance?
"Can't do it? So let's get a divorce."
Gu Wanxing rolled up his sleeves, looked at his watch, and found that it was almost half past twelve, so he thought about packing up and going to town.
This watch was also left to her by her mother, and it was the only thing that Gu Zhenzhen did not steal. As for the reason why the space box was not stolen, it was because she had buried it in her backyard. Otherwise, it would have been stolen long ago.
Zhao Chengyan was about to say something when Grandma Zhao from next door came back with Chao Chao in her arms.
As soon as she entered the room, she looked at Gu Wanxing with a worried look on her face, and pulled her into the bedroom with one strong hand: "Wanxing, what happened? Did you lose money? How much did you lose that you have to make such a fuss?"
The old lady is over seventy years old. She is an elder in the Zhao family who is within the fifth generation. She calls her grandma.
For example, Liu Xifeng and others all call her Fifth Aunt.
Hearing this, Gu Wanxing smiled bitterly: "Grandma, you may not believe it, but I don't know how much I lost. Cheng Yan never told me that he had money."
Zhao Chengyan, who was still standing in the outer room, was angry and couldn't help but tighten his clenched hands.
He kept it a secret from her because he was afraid she would ask how he made the money. She was so timid, he didn't dare tell her.
The old lady was slightly startled, put the child on the bed, and sighed heavily:
"Alas, there's no overnight grudge between young couples. Just bear with it and it will pass. Men like to be the head of the family, so let him be. You just need to let it go. Now, do you still have money? I don't have any milk to give you. I went to your aunt's house yesterday. I didn't know you were borrowing money everywhere."
The old lady was wearing a jacket with a side-opening, and her pocket was on the inside of her chest, so she started to search her pockets after she spoke.
"Grandma, don't take it. I borrowed it yesterday. I'm going to the factory to get my salary soon, so I can come back and return it."
Gu Wanxing covered her hand to stop her from taking anything out.
The old lady nodded, her cloudy eyes filled with worry: "Ah, look at what's broken, what a pity, alas."
She just glanced at the east room and saw that the cabinets containing Liu Xifeng's dowry from her wedding were all smashed. What a sin.
"Mom, I'm hungry."
Zhao Chao sat on the edge of the bed and waited for a long time but didn't get a look from his mother. He couldn't help feeling a little angry.
"Hmm? Chao Chao, didn't Madam just give you some bread? Why are you still hungry? Are you not full?"
Grandma Wu asked in confusion.
Gu Wanxing then looked at his daughter and couldn't help but sneer in his heart. She was so young, but she could already lie, and she lied without even opening her mouth.
Chao Chao blinked her red and swollen eyes: "Madam, Chao Chao wants to eat the dumplings that mom made."
"Oh, you clever little devil, you want to order your mother around. Oh, you're such a smart kid."
The old lady smiled kindly and touched Zhao Chao's little head, looking very fond of him.
Gu Wanxing rolled her eyes in her heart and didn't respond. If it were in the past, if someone praised her daughter, she would definitely be happy from the bottom of her heart.
But now…
"Then try to persuade Cheng Yan again. Although your mother-in-law spilled some of the liquid, she is honest. Maybe Cheng Yan put it in the wrong place."
Gu Wanxing found it a little funny. He wondered where the old lady got this appraisal result. Liu Xifeng was the one who was not honest.
In the first two years after she got married, she spent all day drying peanuts, beans, and corn kernels on the eaves and windowsills, even though her family didn't grow these things. Later, she found out that those who stole from other people's homes never came back empty-handed.
"Grandma, we can't live like this anymore."
Gu Wanxing showed a hint of grievance at the right time, his eyes were slightly red, and his face was full of forbearance.
She felt that it was better for someone to know. Although she disdained other people's gossip, she was still willing to try if there was a way to avoid rumors.
The old lady was smart. She quickly took her hand and asked in a low voice, "What's wrong? Did Cheng Yan bully you? Or was it Liu Xifeng? Don't be afraid, I'll take care of it for you."
"No, forget it, maybe it's my fault." Gu Wanxing looked embarrassed.
"What's wrong with you? Tell me, don't worry, I'll fight for justice for you today even if it means risking everything."
The old lady said in a strong voice.
Among the younger daughters-in-law of the Zhao family, Cheng Yan's daughter-in-law is the most pragmatic, honest, and straightforward in her work.
Such a good child, but he doesn't have a good mother's family. How can he bully others?
She couldn't understand why, if she had a grandson, she would have gone to Gujiazhuang to propose marriage.
"Grandma, please go back."
"Hurry up and tell me—"
"Cheng Yan likes someone else."
Gu Wanxing was "forced" and had no choice but to tell the truth.
"Mom, I want some water."
Chaochao didn’t know why her mother was so cold to her. She just wanted to attract her attention in this way. In the past, her mother always revolved around her.
She had no idea how long it had been since she had been close to her mother, but she knew that her mother had not hugged her for a long time.
"Yeah." Gu Wanxing looked indifferent. He poured some water from the thermos on the desk and handed it to Zhao Chao.
"Drink it yourself."
Grandma Zhao frowned, feeling a little heavy-hearted, not knowing how to comfort this poor child.
But she still patted her shoulder lovingly and said, "Go and ask him what's going on. If it's true, ask him to apologize to you."
She would rather demolish a temple than end a marriage, and she wanted to try her best to mediate.
"Grandma, forget it. A forced melon isn't sweet. They've been stepping on my good points, saying I'm not good enough. They've been pushing my boundaries, saying I'm not tolerant enough. I've spent five years and still haven't warmed the hearts of this family..."
Gu Wanxing no longer has any attachment to this marriage.
“So, I want to give up this time.”
