Chapter 119 The hero's mother is the best (Part 6) Second update, please subscribe!
"I'm fine!"
Gu Qingcheng's face turned pale. This body was originally just fragile.
After Gu Qingcheng exchanged part of her physical strength for her appearance, her fragility turned into sickly weakness.
What a yandere!
You will become out of breath after walking a few steps, and you may faint if you feel chest tightness and shortness of breath.
If she is stimulated "greatly", she will even spit blood from her mouth! She is no longer a lamp beauty, but a snow beauty. Even without external force, she can be sick and weak!
Gu Qingcheng had been a lamp beauty, so she would not be unfamiliar with the snow beauty.
She held onto Zhao Qingyun's arm and smiled weakly, "Da Lang, you must be hungry! Let's go to the old house to eat!"
Zhao Qingyun: ...Mother, you are in this condition now, and you still want to go to the old house?
Still eating? Haha, with grandma's arrogance, aunt's fierceness, second aunt's calculations and fourth aunt's pretending to be stupid, the three of them couldn't even get through the door.
Still want to go to someone's house for dinner? Although it's getting dark, I can't just dream about it.
Zhao Qingyun looked at his mother's frail and sickly appearance. The key point was that his mother was too "naive" and actually believed the nonsense told by the people in the old house.
If I go to the old house and get scolded, my mother will definitely not be able to bear it.
Innocence was defeated, and she finally saw the cruel and bloody truth. This must be very cruel to her mother! Zhao Qingyun didn't want her mother to go through that at all.
Strangely enough, in the past Zhao Qingyun disliked his mother's "ignorance of the world" and hoped that she would face reality as soon as possible and become a qualified wife and mother.
But now, looking at his mother's breathtakingly beautiful face and her body as fragile as a porcelain doll, he suddenly felt: It's good for his mother to remain innocent forever!
A father can use his efforts to help his mother retain her innocence and kindness.
Why can't he?
Zhao Qingyun puffed out his chest. Having already determined that he was the new pillar of the Zhao family, he suddenly felt an endless sense of pride.
"Mom! Let's just forget it. Grandma and the others--" are not easy people to get along with.
If you go, you will only be bullied and irritated!
"Your grandma is the most loving. Last time when she came to ask me to 'borrow' money, she also said that we are all family and should take care of each other!"
However, Gu Qingcheng seemed not to notice Zhao Qingyun's worry, and could not appreciate his love and filial piety.
She seems to be living in her own world, believing only in her own principles.
Zhao Qingyun: ... I feel so helpless! Forget it, since my mother is so persistent, I might as well let her go through it.
Maybe it was a little cruel, but it was better than her mother always living in a "dream"! Thinking of this, Zhao Qingyun stopped trying to persuade her.
He and brother Zhao Qingsong, one on each side, supported Gu Qingcheng.
The mother and her two children left the house together.
They themselves didn't feel anything, but the combination of the one big and two small, the big one sick and the small one weak, looked extremely miserable and pitiful in the eyes of others.
"Ah, this orphan and widow, how pitiful!"
The neighbor next door came out with a wooden basin to pour water.
I happened to see the brothers Zhao Qingyun and Zhao Qingsong "struggling" to support Gu Qingcheng.
As for Gu Qingcheng, she was as thin as a piece of paper. Not to mention a strong wind, even a breath from someone could blow her away.
The mother and her two children were all in mourning, and the coarse linen clothes reminded everyone: her man was gone, and their brothers' father was gone! "The Zhao family is going to break up."
"Yes, Doctor Zhao is such a capable person. With him around, the family can still support themselves. If he leaves, we will be left with orphans and widows—"
It was already evening. Some villagers who had eaten early came out to digest their food and happened to see Gu Qingcheng and her son.
There were few entertainment activities these days, so the villagers had to rely on gossip about other people's private affairs to entertain themselves.
Everyone was curious when they saw that Gu, who had been bedridden, actually got up and went out with her child.
"Zhao Sanjia, are you feeling better?"
There was someone in the crowd who was familiar with Gu Youniang, so he asked anxiously.
“…It’s okay!”
When Gu Qingcheng heard the voice, she turned her head and tried her best to force a smile.
However, her body was too weak. After walking a few steps, she was out of breath and had a lack of energy when speaking.
Gu Qingcheng's smile is morbid, but because of her appearance, it has the charm of "Xi Shi holding her heart".
The neighbor who asked the question was immediately amazed.
"I've heard that Gu is pretty, but I never thought she's this pretty!"
The peasant women in the countryside don’t know many adjectives, and they can’t recite any poems to describe beautiful women.
She just thought that Gu was pretty, prettier than the fairies in the paintings and the Bodhisattvas in the temples!
It was so beautiful that she, as a woman, did not feel jealous. Instead, she felt an inexplicable admiration and a hint of heartache.
Oh, what happened to Gu? She is really sick.
She was so sick, why did she come out? Did she run into trouble? Wait, I think I saw the Zhao family coming just now.
There were also sounds of crying and shouting coming from Doctor Zhao's yard.
Could it be——
The peasant woman's eyes suddenly lit up with eagerness and a hint of anger.
The peasant woman was very excited because there was something exciting to watch.
But when she thought of the shameless people in the Zhao family who actually came to bully a newly widowed beauty like Gu, the peasant woman instinctively became angry.
Shameless! Such a pretty, oh no, such a pitiful person, and they all come to bully her!
Do you really think there is no justice in this world? Or do you think that Zhaojiazhuang has no ancestral rules?
Zhaojiazhuang, as the name suggests, most of the people living here have the surname Zhao.
It is said that one or two hundred years ago, a pair of brothers who fled from war settled here.
After generations of reproduction, the huge Zhaojiazhuang was formed.
Counting up three generations, they are basically all relatives, and many villagers are not even out of the fifth degree of mourning.
Zhaojiazhuang is a village where clans live together, so there is a clan temple and a clan leader.
Normally, the clan leader would not be too overbearing and would not interfere in the family affairs of the clan members at will.
But if the matter becomes too serious and affects the reputation of Zhaojiazhuang, the clan leader will step forward to uphold justice.
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
If the situation is too serious, the offender will most likely be expelled from the Zhao clan and driven out of Zhaojiazhuang!
When Zhao Guodong was sent out to live on his own by his biased parents, the clan leader was somewhat unhappy.
Fortunately, Zhao Guodong did not make a fuss, but obediently accepted his fate and went to the city to make a living by himself. Only then did the patriarch stop arguing with the Zhao family.
Now that Zhao Guodong is gone, given the partiality of the two old men in the Zhao family and the greed of the Zhao brothers, it is only natural that they would go and bully the mother and son of the Gu family.
If the Gu family was like Zhao Guodong, not making any noise or making any fuss and allowing themselves to be bullied, the clan leader would not interfere.
But if the Gu family makes a fuss, things will not end well!
Not only the peasant woman, but also the other villagers who were watching, thought of this.
They all became excited and followed behind Gu's mother and son, trying to watch the first scene!
"Mr. Zhao, you're not feeling well, why did you go out with the child?"
There was a curious aunt in the crowd who couldn't hold back any longer and asked.
"The child is hungry, and there is nothing to eat at home. My mother-in-law asked me for money. I took the child to the old house to eat!"
Gu Qingcheng's body was indeed weak enough.
Even though he was supported by his sons, he was still panting.
She spoke these two sentences intermittently for a long time. Looking at her pale face and unsteady steps, it seemed as if she would be choked by her own breath and pass out in the next second.
Although the group of people came to watch the fun, they were all neighbors, or even clan members with not too distant blood ties.
In addition, Zhao Guodong is a doctor. If anyone in the village has a headache, fever, or skin sores and bleeding, he will help.
There is no consultation fee, only a small amount of medicine fee.
If the family is really in financial difficulty, even the money for medicine will be waived.
Therefore, Zhao Guodong has a very good relationship with people in Zhaojiazhuang. Even if some people in the village are jealous of his good life, at most they would say a few words behind his back.
But now Zhao Guodong is dead, leaving only his sick wife and young son. The villagers can only feel sympathy and pity for him.
Seeing that Gu was so sick that he couldn't even walk, but still wanted to go to the old house, everyone was a little angry.
Listen to what Gu said? Hungry! There is no food at home!
The money was also taken away by the old woman of the Zhao family! The old couple of the Zhao family really went to bully the orphans and widows.
They are Zhao Guodong's biological parents, but they are worse than anyone else and only know how to bully their daughter-in-law and grandson.
After hearing what his mother said, Zhao Qingyun almost stumbled.
He really wanted to say: Well, even though the people from the old house came to plot, they didn’t dare to do anything too drastic.
There was no scene of robbing food or silver.
Although they are shameless, they still have some dignity.
Furthermore, if her mother does not remarry, she will be a member of the Zhao family.
The people in the old house did not dare to rob people openly.
Firstly, the Zhao clan would not agree, and secondly, the group of "butchers" of the Gu family were not just for show.
But, but these two sentences from my own mother gave outsiders endless speculation.
Zhao Qingyun was so smart that he didn't even need to ask. He only needed to think about what the villagers would think after hearing what their own mother said.
The wife fell ill due to the heavy blow of her husband's sudden death.
The two children were very small and weak and were of no use at all.
Instead of offering to help, my husband's family came to bully me.
They stole the food and money, leaving the orphans and widows starving.
This forced Gu, a poor woman who was too sick to even stand up, to go to her husband's house to beg for food! Zhao Qingyun: ...As a party involved, I know all the truth.
But if he continued to guess blindly along this line of thought, he would feel so pitiful! However, the fact is——
They were indeed hungry, not because they had nothing to eat, but because there was no one to cook.
Grandma did come to my mother to ask for money, but it should have been in the past, not after my father passed away.
A Niang didn't tell a lie, but people still misunderstood her.
Huh? This one seems pretty good too.
Unconsciously, the door to a new world quietly opened in front of Zhao Qingyun...
