Su Xiaogu hit Su Huailin with a stick, and the young man let out a muffled groan.
Su Xiaogu shuddered from head to toe, as if a basin of cold water had been poured on her. She suddenly woke up and glanced at her younger brother Su Jianguo's face before she said worriedly, "Huai Lin, are you okay?"
Su Huailin stood up and shook off his clothes. He looked at Su Xiaogu coldly and said, "Xiaogu, it's okay for you to hit me with this stick, but it's not okay to hit my sister."
Su Nianmei was stunned and thought to herself: How come Su Huailin, who usually scolds everyone and his sister, suddenly changes his temper?
Su Xiaogu was also straightforward. She said, "She got pregnant before marriage, which ruined the reputation of our Su family. What's wrong with beating her? Beating her is not a big deal. This child is a bastard. In the past, the mother and child would have been thrown into a pig cage."
Gu Xiaobao's expression changed suddenly.
Su Nianmei's heart ached. She didn't care what others said about her, but when it came to her child, she just couldn't accept it.
“What are you talking about!” Su Huailin said before Su Nianmei could speak.
Then Su Xiaogu heard a "zhiwa" sound.
Gu Xiaobao suddenly rushed out and bit Su Xiaogu's hand.
Su Xiaogu swung her hand and hit Gu Xiaobao on the head.
Su Nianmei immediately rushed forward to block Su Xiaogu's hand.
The three of them fought together.
"Quiet!" Su Jianguo stood by and watched his sister and daughter fighting.
Su Huailin stepped forward to protect his sister, holding down his aunt with one hand and pulling his little nephew with the other, and finally pulled them apart.
Su Jianguo's face was gloomy, and he said, "Su Nianmei! How can you be so disrespectful?"
Su Huailin grabbed Su Jianguo's arm and shouted, "Dad!"
Su Nianmei rubbed Gu Xiaobao's head, feeling a little distressed, and said, "I am disrespectful, but my aunt not only scolded me but also beat my child in front of me. Is that okay?"
Aunt Su continued, "You were so dissolute first. I taught you a lesson for the sake of my Su family's reputation, but you, a wild child, got angry at me."
Gu Xiaobao lowered his head and shouted, "I am my father's child, I am not some wild child! I don't allow you to say that about my mother!"
Su Nianmei had never seen Gu Xiaobao like this. The child was trembling all over and his face turned pale.
Aunt Su continued to add fuel to the fire: "You are your father's child, so you are also a motherless bastard. I will never allow such a person to enter our Su family."
The sharp, piercing voice rang in her ears, and Su Nianmei seemed to have returned to the past, when she was a child and people around her also pointed at her and called her a "bastard, a child without a father or a mother."
Her hand trembled slightly, and she raised it and slapped Su Xiaogu on the face.
A deep voice said, "Get lost!"
Su Nianmei picked up Gu Xiaobao and bent down to kiss his forehead.
Just like what that person did in the previous life.
She hugged Gu Xiaobao tighter and said, "It's okay, Mom is here. Mom and Dad are here too."
Gu Xiaobao hugged Su Nianmei's neck back and rubbed his nose against her neck.
Su Huailin mediated and sent Su Nianmei and the others back.
After that incident, Su Nianmei did not take Gu Xiaobao with her and left him at the Gu family.
Out of kindness to Old Mrs. Su, he went to the Su's house to wait until the body was buried. On the way back home, he suddenly met Lin Ai Qiu halfway.
Lin Ai Qiu was dressed decently today, wearing white mourning clothes neatly. Her eyes were bright and she looked more energetic than before.
Su Nianmei didn't want to argue with Lin Ai Qiu, so she glanced at him and pretended not to see him.
Lin Ai Qiu took a few steps forward and grabbed Su Nianmei's hand. Said: "Why, when you see me, you don't even call me mom?"
Su Nianmei looked up at Lin Aiqiu, moved her lips but didn't say anything.
Lin Aiqiu patted her on the shoulder, surprisingly not scolding her, and said:
"I also know about the incident between you and your aunt at the ancestral hall."
"As someone who has been through this, I want to remind you that once this man has a child, it means that he has had other women before."
"If you are smart, you can pretend to turn a blind eye. He can be good to you and other women. If that woman is dead, it's fine. If she is still alive, there will always be a connection between her and Gu Xichao. You can't compare to this."
Su Nianmei said: "I believe him."
Lin Ai Qiu smiled and said, "You are still too young, men are all cats who love to steal fish. Believe it or not, love or not is just a matter of that. I also hope that you can live a better life, so that our entire Su family can live comfortably."
Su Nianmei sneered, "I tried my best for you before, but the actions of your Su family are also chilling. I just hope that we can go our separate ways in the future and owe nothing to each other."
Although Su Nianmei spoke toughly, her heart sank, as if someone had poked her in a sore spot. As she walked back, her legs felt as heavy as if they were filled with lead.
She believed in Gu Xichao, but she did not dare to challenge human nature.
Lin Ai Qiu narrowed her eyes. It was still that damn girl. She thought that the grace of raising her was so easy to repay. Only when this girl lived well could she squeeze her out of it and let her precious children live a good life.
She gave this damn girl a kind reminder today, but she didn't appreciate it. She will suffer in the future.
After dealing with matters in her hometown and returning to Kyoto, Su Nianmei still had a knot in her heart.
It has been several days since she and Gu Xiaobao returned to Kyoto, and Gu Xichao didn't even know how to go home. Even Huo Guangchuan was the one who sent people off.
Sometimes Gu Xichao would come home once in a while, just say a few words and leave.
She felt depressed and thought about what Lin Ai Qiu said. She had not intended to listen, but now there was an inexplicable irritation in her heart that almost made it hard for her to breathe.
As soon as Gu Xichao returned home, he saw Su Nianmei sitting on a chair, holding a pen in her hand, looking down at something, the pen was drawing on the paper, and then fell down with a "pop".
Su Nianmei bent down to pick up the pen, and when she looked up she saw Gu Xichao standing at the door of the study.
The man seemed more charming than before. He was wearing a pair of black leather boots, his military uniform fitting tightly on his body, and a coat on his right hand. He waved at Su Nianmei.
Su Nianmei's heart skipped a beat. She picked up the pen, suppressed her inner tension, and said, "You're back!"
Seeing Su Nianmei sitting up straight with her legs together, Gu Xichao said, "I'm not very busy today."
Su Nianmei put the pen on the table, stood up and said, "Xiaobao is asleep, there is still some rice in the pot, I will heat it up for you."
Gu Xichao said: "Okay."
He originally wanted to say he didn't want to eat, but when he saw how eager his wife was, it became difficult to say "no".
As soon as she stood up, her legs were tripped by a chair and her foot hit the chair leg. Su Nianmei immediately covered her foot.
Gu Xichao hurried forward to massage her feet, but before he touched Su Nianmei's feet, the young wife's tears welled up in her eyes, half-falling out, which was heartbreaking to see.
He raised his hand to pull Su Nianmei's shoes.
But Su Nianmei held the shoes tightly.
"It doesn't hurt." Su Nianmei rolled her eyes, trying to force back the tears.
Gu Xichao looked at Su Nianmei's stubborn look and reached out to touch Su Nianmei's face.
The rough and warm fingertips slid across Su Nianmei's cheek.
Su Nianmei's eyelashes trembled.
A few tears rolled down her cheeks and fell onto the base of Gu Xichao's right hand.
It was icy cold, yet so hot that his hands shook.
Even the words he spoke were full of tenderness and affection: "My dear, my dear."
Su Nianmei lost her strength instantly and her hand strength diminished.
Gu Xichao coaxed and tricked the person into taking off his shoes.
When I took off my socks, I saw that my round white toes were covered in bruises.
Gu Xichao touched it gently and asked, "Does it hurt?"
Su Nianmei took a deep breath and said "tsk". She is not such a pretentious person. I don’t know why she is so fragile today.
"Be careful next time and don't be so clumsy." Gu Xichao reached out and rubbed Su Nianmei's toes.
Su Nianmei said "Oh" and lowered her eyes, then she noticed Gu Xichao half-kneeling on the ground.
Look serious.
She turned her head away and remained silent, thinking about how he had been so nice to other women before.
My heart aches.
