Miao Yuan thought angrily.
While thinking, she picked the vegetables in her hands, and the vegetables in her hands were picked so badly that they were unrecognizable, but she didn't even notice.
Gu Jindan and Gu Baodan stood in the corner watching their stepmother, wondering what mischief she was up to this time.
In short, he doesn't look like a good person.
"Is she planning to withhold our food again?"
Gu Baodan, being a little younger, asked his older brother Gu Jindan.
Two years ago, after their mother divorced their father and married this woman, the brothers' good days came to an end.
This woman seems to treat them very well on the surface, but it's all an act for her father.
In private, she began to torment the two brothers.
It's common for them not to be fed enough.
Don't be fooled by Miao Yuan's appearance as an educated youth sent to the countryside; she's actually quite cunning and wicked. She'll do anything to prevent the two brothers from having enough to eat.
They would either serve terrible food, or undercooked rice, and sometimes they would even deliberately put sand in their bowls.
Although Gu Jindan and Gu Baodan are mischievous, they are still just kids. How could they possibly be as thoughtful as Miao Yuan? So in the beginning, when they encountered such situations, they would just argue and make a scene.
They loudly accused Miao Yuan of being a heartless woman who wanted to kill the two brothers.
How could they possibly defeat Miao Yuan like this?
Miao Yuanrou looked weak and frail. She stood to the side, wiping away tears, when Gu Changqing grabbed a broom and started beating her. Naturally, he was beating the two brothers.
After several such incidents, Gu Jindan and Gu Baodan realized that they were no match for Miao Yuan. They were completely subdued by her and outwardly treated her with great respect.
She's no longer like a little hedgehog all the time.
But this is only on the surface.
Privately, the two brothers disliked Miao Yuan quite a bit. It even reached the point of hatred.
Looking at Miao Yuan's undisguised, distorted face, the two brothers secretly wondered if this wicked woman was plotting something bad again. A weak sob rang out from inside the room; it was that skinny, monkey-like annoying sister who had started crying again.
Gu Jindan and Gu Baodan glanced at each other and hurriedly ran into the house.
Miao Yuan assigned them to look after the skinny monkey; if they didn't take good care of him, Miao Yuan wouldn't feed them…
"Don't cry."
The two brothers went inside and hurriedly went to get Gu Qingqing, while Miao Yuan's voice rang out from outside.
"Are you two courting death? You won't even look after your little sister when I ask you to. What good are you if you just sit around doing nothing all day?"
Gu Changqing hadn't returned from the field yet, so Miao Yuan didn't hold back and started cursing.
Gu Jindan and Gu Baodan were furious at the insults; they wanted nothing more than to turn around, rush out, and tear Miao Yuan, that vicious woman, to pieces. But at that very moment, Gu Qingqing continued to cry.
The two brothers reached out and each of them pinched several marks on Gu Qingqing's body to vent their anger!
Gu Qingqing cried even louder!
Miao Yuan, who was already irritable, became even more furious when she heard the incessant crying inside the house. She dropped the vegetables she was holding, grabbed a bamboo strip, and stormed into the house.
"All you do all day is cry, cry, cry! You useless brat, what else can you do besides cry and annoy your old mother?"
Miao Yuan walked in holding a bamboo strip, and with a snap, the bamboo strip in her hand hit the bamboo bed to the side. Gu Qingqing, unaware of what was happening, raised her head and burst into even louder sobs.
Annoyed by the crying, Miao Yuan raised her hand and the bamboo strip in her hand fell down.
Fortunately, she hadn't completely lost her mind and knew to hit Gu Qingqing's butt instead of somewhere else.
The vicious beatings made Gu Qingqing cry even louder.
Miao Yuan didn't stop at all, her eyes were bloodshot.
When Gu Jindan and Gu Baodan saw this scene, they felt both smug and a little scared, afraid that the bamboo strips would fall on them.
As for their pride, it was definitely because they were proud that Miao Yuan, that old hag, hadn't seen them pinching Gu Qingqing.
The two brothers turned around and wanted to leave.
Miao Yuan smacked Gu Qingqing a few times with bamboo strips, and out of the corner of her eye, she caught sight of Gu Jindan and Gu Baodan trying to slip away. She sensed that something was wrong with them.
"You two, stop right there."
Just as they were about to run away, Miao Yuan stopped whipping Gu Qingqing and turned to look at Gu Jindan and Gu Baodan.
"Did you make your sister cry?"
She was just bluffing them.
Gu Jindan, being older, remained calm and stubbornly denied it. Gu Baodan, however, took a step back in fear.
Be ready to run away at any time.
Well, there's no need to guess what happened; it was those two short-lived fools who made Gu Qingqing cry.
Although Miao Yuan didn't like Gu Qingqing either, she was still her biological daughter, and her feelings for her were more or less greater than for Gu Jindan and Gu Baodan.
Seeing these two brats bullying Gu Qingqing, the anger she had been holding back since the news of the resumption of the college entrance examination finally found an outlet.
Anger surged forth like a raging sea!
"How dare you bully my sister? I'll beat you to death today!"
“You’re so young and you’re already behaving badly. I asked you to take care of your little sister, and you even hit her and made her cry. I’ll teach you a lesson for not being good.”
Miao Yuan chased after people with a bamboo stick and hit them.
She rarely beat the two brothers in public, mainly because there wasn't a very reasonable reason for it.
But today is different.
