The reason why their family has reached this point is because they doted on Gu Ruizhuo too much.
Otherwise, with a young man, Gu Dakai, a strong middle-aged man, and Bai Cuiyan, a woman who is as diligent as an old ox, how bad could the family's life be?
They deserve it.
"Siqing," Bai Cuiyan finished her story and wrung her hands. "I've already told you about my family's situation. If you have money, please lend me some. I really have no other choice but to borrow money from you."
Bai Cuiyan even started crying as she spoke, and two tears fell on her hands. After listening to the story, Gu Siqing certainly didn't continue to talk about it.
"Aunt, I really don't have any money. You should go find someone else."
Gu Siqing pulled her hand back and was about to leave. Bai Cuiyan looked at her like this, her eyes widening. "Didn't you just ask me to give you a reason? We're already living so miserably, why won't you help us?"
"Even if we treated you badly in the past, we're not doing well now either. It can be considered retribution. Why are you so hard-hearted?"
Bai Cuiyan kept talking about truths, which made Gu Siqing laugh out of anger.
She turned around, looked at Bai Cuiyan's face, and smiled coldly, "If you had been even a little bit nice to me back then, I would have helped you now without holding any grudges. But have you forgotten how you treated me, Dabao, and Erbao in the past?"
"You didn't even let children like us go. You made us wash vegetables in the middle of winter and locked us up in the house in the middle of summer. Dabao and Erbao both got heatstroke from the stuffiness, and you didn't even buy us medicine."
When talking about the past, Gu Siqing was so angry that her heart ached.
"Do you think you deserve my help?"
"Anyway, I have no money, so don't come to me again!"
Bai Cuiyan was stunned. She stood there for a few seconds before realizing that she had obviously been fooled by Gu Siqing!
Gu Siqing was clearly asking them how they were doing just now?
She thought she was trying to help, but now it seems that Gu Siqing just wanted to find out whether they were living well or not. She wanted to laugh at them!
"No, you can't leave!" Bai Cuiyan reacted quickly and held Gu Siqing's hand tightly. "I've already told you about my family's situation. Now you just turn around and leave. Where do you think you should be?"
"You must lend me the money, otherwise, I will stop you here today." Bai Cuiyan was determined to break the jar and say, "I am your aunt after all. I am afraid that it is not a good idea for you to do this."
"Who do you say you are?"
Gu Siqing looked puzzled. "Don't talk nonsense here. How could I have a relative like you?"
"You..." Bai Cuiyan looked at Gu Siqing like this, and suddenly remembered that the last time they went to the family compound, she seemed to not recognize anyone.
"Aunt," Gu Siqing looked at Bai Cuiyan, took a step forward, and lowered her voice to her ear, "I know what you are planning, but with the situation of your family, there is no way I can help you."
"You were not kind to me before, and you were not kind to the children either. Now you want to take money out of my pocket. Don't you think this is like a dream?"
"Last time you went to the family compound, I made it very clear that I don't have relatives like you. If you come to me again, I will just have to greet you."
Gu Siqing continued to lower her voice, "Although you only said that my cousin ran away and my uncle cheated, I also guessed one thing. Gu Ruizhuo must have done something, right?"
After saying this, Gu Siqing straightened his back, took a step back, and a cunning smile like a little fox appeared on his face.
The next second, Bai Cuiyan's face turned pale.
"How could you..." Bai Cuiyan was trembling a little. Although Gu Siqing did not directly say what her son had done, she always felt that she could guess it.
Gu Siqing was still smiling, and that smile suddenly seemed a little creepy in Bai Cuiyan's eyes.
"Aunt, I'm leaving."
Gu Siqing smiled and turned around. Although Bai Cuiyan looked pale, she still rushed forward and said, "Don't leave. You must pay me today!"
Seeing people passing by, Bai Cuiyan sat down on the ground, holding Gu Siqing tightly with both hands, forcing her waist down. She cried loudly, "You can't do this! I am your aunt after all. I raised you after your parents died. You are being unfilial to me by doing this!"
"You can't do this!"
Bai Cuiyan was crying and sobbing. What if Gu Siqing knew about her son?
The most important thing for her now is to get the money.
The neighbors living in that area have been living a better life recently. Every family is stewing meat, and every time the aroma of meat wafts over, their stomachs growl.
It would be fine if they were just starving, but Gu Ruizhuo has really lost a lot of weight recently.
She must have some money to go back and buy some meat for her son. Her son's health must improve so that they will have a guarantee for their retirement in the future.
She is not afraid of being embarrassed, but she is afraid of not getting the money.
"Everyone, come and see!" Bai Cuiyan pulled Gu Siqing's hand hard. "I've already met my aunt. Seeing how miserable I am and how well-dressed she is, she refused to help me. I raised her after her parents died. Everyone, don't you think she's unfilial?"
Most of the people who came here were just ordinary spectators. When they heard that there was a dispute here, they came over to watch the show.
He didn't have any preconceived ideas, but there was a hint of doubt in his eyes when he looked at Gu Siqing.
"Auntie," Gu Siqing said with confusion and helplessness, "I'm really embarrassed that you're pulling me like this. I don't even know you, and you insist on saying I'm your niece!"
"Can you provide some evidence to convince everyone?"
Gu Siqing has experienced so many things, so it is easy for him to bring a character to life.
Her hesitation to speak more or less aroused the surrounding onlookers, and many of them started to joke, "Yeah, if you can prove that she is really your niece, how can I not help you?"
"It's hard to say. After all, some of our relatives nowadays are not good people."
“That’s what it is.”
"Times have changed. Those relatives who used to take advantage of others' misfortunes are now trying to curry favor with us. Isn't that obvious at a glance?"
…
Everyone was chattering, talking at the same time.
Bai Cuiyan never expected that the people who came to watch the show were not as gossipy as her neighbors.
Even guess that he is not a good person.
