Chapter 40 I wish you were disfigured too
Duan Gang is old, and because of the hard work he usually does, he is increasingly feeling overwhelmed. People become more sensitive as they get older, not to mention something like this happening.
He grew old, but Duan Renjie grew up and became taller, stronger and younger than him. But Bai Zhen still looked so young and beautiful.
Duan Gang used to be so proud of being able to marry a beautiful wife like Bai Zhen, but now he feels sick to his stomach.
He explained, but he couldn't get over the hurdle in his heart.
Not to mention the neighbors, explanations are completely useless and all kinds of rumors are spreading.
In the next few days, everyone in the Duan family, except Gu Qingshi, fell into hell.
The looks from the neighbors and the whispers behind their backs made Duan Gang and Duan Renjie irritated and overwhelmed, and the seeds of conflict were completely planted between father and son.
Duan Renjie was forced to hide outside for two days, but he had no money and finally had to go back.
It will be all over once I go back. Even looking at Bai Zhen will arouse suspicion.
Duan Gang was worried at work, as he always felt that something might happen between Bai Zhen and Duan Renjie while he was at work, perhaps behind his back, at home or somewhere else.
Bai Zhen and Duan Renjie were not allowed to look at each other, and even a glance at each other would arouse Duan Gang's suspicion.
He disliked the two of them and felt that he was being cheated.
Bai Zhen has a beautiful figure and good taste. Any piece of clothing looks different on her. He used to like Bai Zhen to be pretty because he thought it would give him face.
Now all my liking has turned into disgust. What's so good about being beautiful? She's not a faithful wife.
Even if Bai Zhen wore ordinary clothes, he would feel uncomfortable. She couldn't show her figure at all, otherwise he would ask, "Where are you going in this? Who are you trying to seduce?"
In the end, Bai Zhen was forced to wear some gray old clothes. Duan Gang was not happy when she combed her hair or washed her face, and asked her who she was dressing up for.
Bai Zhen has a hard life, and Duan Renjie has a hard life too. As long as he is at home, Duan Gang will dislike him.
In the past, Duan Gang had only one son, Duan Renjie, and he always treasured him very much. But now he says that he is useless, lazy, and can't do anything, otherwise Gu Qingshi would not look down on him.
When Duan Gang came home and saw him, he became unhappy and frowned. He told Duan Renjie to hide away and scolded him, asking him if he had gone out to hang out somewhere. Then he stopped giving Duan Renjie any money.
Duan Renjie didn't have much income from his job, so he lived on the pocket money given by the two.
As a result, Bai Zhen doesn't dare to give and Duan Gang doesn't want to give, and he has become a complete pauper.
Duan Renjie couldn't stand this and couldn't help but talk back to Duan Gang, and this talk turned into a quarrel.
The father and son quarreled all day long over trivial matters, and the whole family was in chaos. The warmth between father and son turned into hatred.
Bai Zhen was caught in a dilemma, not knowing which way to go. Later, she started to get bruises on her face and body.
How could she bear this? She was so angry with Gu Qingshi, the culprit who caused all this that she gritted her teeth whenever she thought of him.
But Gu Qingshi didn't care. He went out early and came back late every day. He was never seen and never got involved in their affairs.
Bai Zhen felt very aggrieved but had no one to talk to. The neighbors all avoided her, so she finally found Gu Qingshi.
While scolding her, she cried, "Look at the sins you have committed. What has become of our family now? Everything I do is wrong. What should I do in the future?"
Gu Qingshi said nonchalantly, "It's very simple. The root of the problem is that you are beautiful, so you just need to make yourself ugly and darker, and then your family will be harmonious."
Bai Zhen was shocked, "What?"
"Just become ugly and dark, like you did to me before. Anyway, you know how to take medicine, so it's easy to achieve your goal."
Bai Zhen objected without even thinking about it, "No, you can't do that." She refused without even thinking about it.
Gu Qingshi sneered, "Why not? Isn't this the easiest way compared to being beaten?"
Bai Zhen was stiff. What she was most proud of was her beauty and skin. If they were gone, it would mean everything would be gone. She didn't dare to take the risk.
Gu Qingshi chuckled, "It's easy to talk when you're not in the right place. You didn't say that before. Now it seems like all this is retribution for your actions."
Bai Zhen's face changed drastically, she was unwilling to admit that this was retribution.
Because Bai Zhen was unwilling to become ugly and darker, she had no choice but to continue to endure it.
Then the atmosphere in the Duan family became more and more weird, because at night, noises could suddenly be heard in Duan Gang and Bai Zhen's room.
It didn't exist before, but it suddenly exists now.
At Duan Gang's age, he is unable to do anything and is not confident in himself. After this incident, he began to suspect that Bai Zhen was not satisfied and was thinking about Duan Renjie.
After being beaten several times, Bai Zhen found a trick to disguise himself and make noises to avoid being beaten.
Gu Qingshi was basically in the space and didn't hear it, but the Duan brothers and sisters could hear it as long as they were not deaf.
The atmosphere in the Duan family became increasingly weird.
While they were quarreling, Gu Qingshi was watching the shop.
The small stall business is good, but there is a limit to what can be done. After all, it is limited and many customers are lost. It is better to rent a shop.
But the results are not very ideal.
Mingchang County is not very big, and the really prosperous street is the area around the department store. The rents of the shops in these places are not cheap, and many of them have fixed leases and have been doing business for many years.
Gu Qingshi didn't mind being a little out of the way, as the rent would be cheaper and suitable for her situation, but she still couldn't find a suitable one. Either the size was not right or the price was too expensive.
The snack stand business is good and makes a lot of money compared to other businesses, but it’s not like you can get rich overnight. The business is short-lived and the money earned is limited.
I haven’t rented a house yet, but business is getting better and better.
The amount of porridge cooked was increasing every day, and Bai Yang had mastered a lot of skills, and the restaurant became the canteen of the hospital.
In addition, Lu Yuan and Fang Wen became her regular customers, ordering meals from time to time, or coming to eat when there were fewer people.
After careful treatment and the help of Gu Qingshi's vegetables, Lu Yuan's wound was almost healed and he recovered very quickly.
Lu Yuan vaguely felt that it might be because he had eaten Gu Qingshi’s food.
But it's just a suspicion, there's no way to verify it.
After Lu Yuan recovered, he was not in a hurry to leave.
They came to Mingchang County for something. They were injured because of a plot and an accident. After they recovered, they became busy again.
I heard from Fang Wen that he is busy with organ transplants.
