When her gaze fell upon the smile on his face, she couldn't hold back any longer and threw a punch right into his eye socket.
Caught off guard and hit, Lao Yuan cried out, "Ah!"
She gasped and immediately squatted down on the ground.
Gu Guanhai's fist followed closely behind.
"Schadenfreude? I'll show you what schadenfreude is all about!"
He gritted his teeth and said, "You little brat who climbs onto the roof and tears off the tiles if I don't discipline him for three days! If my wife dies, it'll all be your fault!"
Old Yuan: "!!"
The boy who was hit clutched his head and screamed, "Ahhh! What does this have to do with me? I didn't do anything!"
Gu Guanhai: "You're guilty of something just for breathing!"
"..."
While the two were fighting in the front yard, Yu Mingxiang returned to the back yard with a gloomy expression.
At the dinner table.
Qin Weiguo and his two companions heard the commotion in the front yard. Looking at their mother, who seemed preoccupied, they opened their mouths to speak, but…
Xuancao shook her head at them.
She felt that her mother's mood had been a bit strange ever since Hao Xiaoyun's parents and others arrived.
As for why this happened, she didn't know either.
However, she felt that it was inextricably linked to the bald man who was staying in the front yard.
Daylily: ...
He knew his mother had a secret.
However, since Mom is unwilling to talk about it, it's best for them, as her children, not to ask.
Qin Weiguo and the other two: "..."
They exchanged glances, having received a signal from their younger sister.
A daughter is her mother's warm little cotton-padded jacket.
Now, my sister and my mother are inseparable and live in the same house.
If anyone truly understands their mother's thoughts, it's definitely their younger sister.
so……
They instinctively chose to believe their younger sister and remained silent.
In a short time.
The atmosphere at the dinner table was indescribably strange.
Yu Mingxiang: ...
My heart is full of worries; I can't tell whether I feel relieved or disappointed.
She noticed the tension between her children, but she didn't say anything.
But what could she say if she opened her mouth?
She's over forty and already a grandmother, yet she's still troubled by love. If word got out, would anyone listen?
That's embarrassing enough!
While Yu Mingxiang's family ate breakfast with their own thoughts, the Zhao family, who hadn't even had breakfast, felt somewhat lost after leaving Ji Family Village.
In the dead of winter.
The north wind was howling.
A bone-chilling cold.
When I got home, the house was cold and empty, without a single grain of rice.
But if they don't go home, where can they go?
After beating Qin Yuzhu, Zhao Tiezhu and his son Zhao Tengfei squatted on the ground, fuming and sighing.
"Gurgle!"
The sound of hunger rumbling could be heard.
Zhao Tengfei looked up at his father.
"How about we go to Grandma's house and borrow some grain?"
He muttered, "If I don't get any food soon, I'm really going to starve to death."
Zhao Tiezhu: ...
Hearing this, she glanced at him and said with a dark face, "Your second uncle said that if your grandmother lends us any more grain, we'll kick her out."
In rural areas, it's customary for elderly people to live with their youngest son.
The Zhao family was no exception.
Zhao Tiezhu's mother lived with his second younger brother.
Previously, his mother had helped them out of the blue and underhanded many times, and Qin Yuzhu, under the guise of marrying a rich man, had ransacked his second brother's house...
Now that they know Qin Yuzhu's marriage to the rich man was a lie, and his mother and second brother, having failed to collect their debts, are practically filled with hatred for them, how could they possibly lend them grain again?
Zhao Tiezhu looked utterly defeated.
Zhao Tengfei frowned deeply. "Then what should we do?"
He said anxiously, "We can't starve to death, can we?"
Zhao Tiezhu: ...
It's impossible for me to starve to death!
He turned to look at Qin Yuzhu.
