Although Gu Yanliu was married, she lived not far from them, so she went to the Gu family home almost three times a day.
Every time they come, they bring large and small bags.
In her words, there were too few family members, so the food didn't taste good.
Yang Hongxing teased her, "Yanliu, you're going back to your parents' house so extravagantly every day, doesn't your husband Lin Yi have any objections?"
"No way, he's at work every day, he doesn't have time to care about me."
"Besides, I'm spending my own money, so he can't have any objections," Gu Yanliu said with a grin.
“That’s true. We women need to be able to earn money. That way, no matter what happens, we can hold our heads high.” Yang Hongxing wholeheartedly agreed with this.
She's not afraid of Zhou Mingjie at all now.
Although she doesn't earn much, it's enough for her and her son to live on.
Zhou Mingjie tried to manipulate her, but that was absolutely impossible.
Strangely enough, when she stopped showering Zhou Mingjie with concern and care, he became even kinder to her and her son.
Time flies by, and before you know it, the children have grown up.
Their appliance store has also kept up with the times, expanding into a large shopping mall that integrates leisure, entertainment, and dining.
Business is booming right now.
The clear water tofu has also transformed from a small workshop into a large-scale tofu factory.
The various bean products produced have been sold throughout the country.
As Gu Yanbai said, more and more people are now aware of the Qinghe brand.
One day, this name will spread to even more distant places as tofu becomes a bestseller.
More people will come to know about this river, the river they first encountered.
Xiaxia said that Qinghe tofu is a love letter that her father wrote to her mother.
Upon hearing this, Gu Yanbai first laughed heartily twice, then praised, "My daughter is quite something; those words are very pleasing to the ear."
You truly are a scholar; your mind is sharp, far superior to your father's.
Unlike your dad, a rough and tough guy, he could never come up with such elegant words!
On the contrary, Su Nianxue was a little embarrassed and blushed deeply!
"What does a little kid like you know about love letters?"
Yu Chu was engrossed in reading the book!
Hearing them laughing and talking, he only raised his head slightly before immersing himself back in the world of his book.
Xiaxia, feeling a little smug after receiving the praise, said, "Mom, what don't I know! It's just..."
"Speak up, tell me everything you know!" Su Nianxue's eyes held a hint of danger.
"Little brother, what are you looking at so intently?" Xiaxia snatched the book from Yu Chu's hands, trying to divert her mother's attention.
"Sis, give it back to me! I borrowed this from a classmate, don't break it!" Yu Chu pretended to snatch it back.
"Come and take it! If you manage to grab it, I'll give it back to you!" Xiaxia waved the book in her hand.
Yu Chu was somewhat discouraged. Apart from studying, he was no match for his sister in any other aspect.
This conclusion is based on years of practice; in any case, his sister has suppressed him completely since childhood.
"Dad, look at my sister!" He had no choice but to beg Gu Yanbai for help.
Su Nianxue was about to speak. She had raised her daughter for so many years, how could she not understand her personality?
This girl is getting more and more slippery as she grows up!
Then Gu Yanbai said, "You two should sort out your own problems. Mom and I don't have time to adjudicate your case. We're going to cook!"
"Fine, we don't care anymore. Fight however you want, and if you lose, you deserve to get beaten up!" She led the way into the kitchen.
This has always been their family's philosophy: children should solve their own problems.
Adults generally don't interfere!
After the adults disappeared from the living room, Gu Yuchu reached out her hand to her, "Sister, tell me, what did I do to offend you?"
Every time Mom caused you trouble, you used me as a shield. Now that Mom's gone, can you give me back to her?
Xiaxia, realizing he had seen through her thoughts, awkwardly tossed the book to him, saying, "Here you go, you bookworm! You read it every day, every single day, and I don't even know what's so interesting about it?"
"Sister, the teacher said it's all in the book..."
"Alright, alright, you watch over me. I'm going to the kitchen to help Mom." Xiaxia, impatient with his lecture, dashed off to the kitchen.
………
Having some free time today, Su Nianxue and Yang Hongxing decided to go out for a stroll together.
As soon as I got downstairs, I ran into someone.
The man had a vegetable basket slung over his arm, his face was bruised, and he walked with a somewhat unnatural gait.
She smiled shyly at the two of them, "Going out!"
Yang Hongxing glanced at her quickly before looking away. "Well, the weather's nice today. My sister and I are planning to go out for a walk."
After her figure disappeared into the stairwell.
Yang Hongxing lowered her voice and said, "Nianxue, did you see that? Sister Liu must have gotten beaten up again!"
Su Nianxue looked at her retreating figure with pity in her eyes, "I saw it!"
Yang Hongxing's expression was a mixture of sympathy and indignation: "What a terrible tragedy!"
Sister Liu is such a good person, honest and hardworking.
She has a good temper, speaks gently, and has never argued with anyone.
Everyone in this building likes her.
She not only had to take care of her two children every day, but also look after her sick mother-in-law and keep the house in perfect order.
But she was just unlucky to have ended up with such a heartless man.
I heard that her husband treated her quite well a few years ago.
But after making some money in business these past two years, he got arrogant and started to look down on Sister Liu.
I heard that he's having an affair with another woman.
As soon as he got home, he started to treat Liu's wife with disdain.
He beat her up at the slightest disagreement, and look how badly she was beaten! Poor thing!
Yang Hongxing's steamed bun shop is doing well, and she has become familiar with the neighbors.
Therefore, she knew the most about these rumors.
"There's nothing we can do about it. Nobody can help her with this. She has to stand up for herself."
Su Nianxue sighed softly. What good is other people's sympathy?
They were ultimately just outsiders and couldn't help her with anything.
In this world, you can only rely on yourself in the end.
"Who says otherwise! Everyone's secretly cursing her man as a monster!"
After walking for a while, Yang Hongxing's eyes darted around. "Nianxue, I heard that Yanbai has a new, beautiful female secretary?"
Su Nianxue nodded, her expression quite frank. "Yes, Zhou Mingjie told you?"
"No. I went shopping a couple of days ago and that's when I ran into him..." Yang Hongxing's eyes held a strange emotion.
She saw them standing close together by the shelf, which could also be due to the narrow space.
Gu Yanbai was saying something, while the girl looked at him with admiration.
I don't know if they listened or not.
She didn't dare get too close. Although she knew the two were working, she still felt something was off about the scene.
