Chapter 70 Being Beaten by Mother
It was a chilly September morning. Xiuzhu wore a thin grey shirt and was in her room with her mother sorting out a list of items for her wedding next week.
She felt wronged when she thought about having to prepare these things by herself and her mother.
Who gets married like her? Nowadays, let alone wedding dresses, even red skirts have to be of ordinary styles, not to mention the wedding ceremony.
At the height of the storm, apart from the parents and relatives of both sides, no one dared to invite more guests.
Xiuzhu's two bright eyes flashed with anger, which seemed to be about to erupt. She said viciously: "If Gu Yu can't come back, I will marry someone else."
Ye Yunrong lowered her head and cut the word "囍" (wedding) when she heard Xiuzhu's words. Then she remembered that she had forgotten to tell Xiuzhu the news she received last night!
It's true that I've been busy since I got up in the morning and haven't stopped at all.
She stopped what she was doing, looked up at her daughter and explained, "Gu Yu called your father's office last night and said that he had too many things to do in Beijing, so he didn't contact you in the past few days."
"He also said that he would come back with your Aunt Gu and Gu Tong in a few days."
After Gu Yu arrived in Beijing, apart from the phone calls in the first few days, there has been no news from him for almost a week.
It would be strange for Xiuzhu, who has always been spoiled by Gu Yu, not to be angry.
"Hmph, I will only forgive him if he comes back and gives a reasonable explanation." Xiuzhu cut the red paper vigorously, frowned, and said angrily.
Ye Yunrong shook her head in amusement and ignored her. Whoever made her angry should comfort her. She continued to work on her tasks...
The two of them were busy in the house for quite some time and finally prepared all the small items needed for the wedding.
Ye Yunrong looked at the clock on the wall and said, "I'll go to the kitchen. You tidy up the things in the house. Your dad said he would come back for lunch at noon. I'll cook two more dishes today."
Xiuzhu raised her eyebrows when she heard this, and teased her mother, "Why? If my dad doesn't come back, will you just feed your precious daughter with bran and vegetables?"
"You are just talking nonsense, girl. When have you ever been asked to eat coarse food? If you keep talking nonsense, I will beat you." As he said this, he patted Xiuzhu lightly on the back.
"Hahaha, Mom, I was wrong." Xiuzhu laughed crisply and pleasantly, and dodged the call cleverly.
She knew when to stop and didn't dare to continue making fun of her mother. Although her mother was usually gentle, she could be very scary when she was really angry.
I still remember that when she was a child, she was much more willful than she is now. At that time, she had no memory of the modern world, and she didn't know what a cannon fodder female supporting role was. She was spoiled by her family, so she had a very bad temper.
At that time, she was only 6 years old and just started to remember things. There were still vendors setting up stalls outside, and the control was not as strict as it is now. If anyone was found doing private trading, they would be arrested.
Her mother took her to buy groceries as usual that day. She heard someone selling candy figures with animal patterns, and she started to make a fuss about wanting to eat them. But no matter how much she made a fuss, her mother didn't buy any for her.
In fact, she was changing her teeth at that time, and her father doted on her particularly, always giving her candy secretly behind her mother's back. The consequence of this was that she cried at night because of toothache.
Later, his mother caught him at the "crime scene" and scolded his father. Only then did Lao Lin restrain himself a lot. Otherwise, he would have a mouth full of cavities now.
But she was young at the time and only cared about food and not about being punished. When she saw the cute and delicious candy figures, she had to buy them. She sneaked out when her mother was not paying attention while shopping.
But she was not very smart when she was a child and she couldn't remember the way at all. As expected, she got lost and was almost taken away by the beagle.
He got information out of her and found out that she was going to buy some candy figures, so he told her he could bring them with her, and he foolishly followed her.
Fortunately, her mother discovered she was missing in time, and she didn't walk far because of her short legs.
So many years have passed, but she still clearly remembers the look on her mother's face when she protected her.
The mother, who had always been gentle and kind to others, was like a violent beast in order to save herself from the hands of Pahuazi, trying to take back her cub from the enemy.
She let out a heart-wrenching roar towards the man who was a head taller than her, which was chilling to the ears.
Seeing that there were people surrounding her, Pahuazi was afraid that things would get out of hand, so he left her behind and ran away in a hurry.
She was so scared that she cried, but her mother ignored her all the way home.
After returning home, he even whipped her palms with a bamboo stick, and then asked her with red eyes if she dared to run around again.
That was the first and only time she was beaten by her mother.
Since then, I have restrained myself a lot, and my willfulness has its limits. I dare not make my mother angry.
She is really happy to have a father and mother who love her so much.
Of course, she loved them very much too, and it was a two-way run between them.
The noise downstairs awakened Xiuzhu's memories. She was a little confused. Did her father come back so early today?
She was exhausted after working all morning today, and she would have to teach Gu Yu a lesson to vent her anger. She was going to report him to her father.
A sly smile spread across Xiuzhu's face, her bright eyes narrowed slightly, and there was a barely perceptible hint of pride at the corners of her mouth.
As if she had already seen the miserable look on Gu Yu's face as he was scolded by his father, she quickened her pace and walked downstairs.
