Aunt Li had worked diligently in the military family compound for a long time, encountering all sorts of people, but she had never suffered such a severe insult.
At this moment, she was filled with grievances, and tears welled up in her eyes, as if they were about to burst forth at any moment.
"How could you talk to me like that? I... what did I do wrong? I've never thought of myself as anything special, but you can't insult me like this!"
"I also have dignity and personality!" Aunt Li's voice trembled slightly, with a hint of crying.
However, in response to Aunt Li's tearful complaints, Gu Hong merely sneered and retorted without any mercy: "Character? Humph, what a piece of trash that is! Worthless!"
"Selling your physical labor is just selling yourself, what's so noble about that? If you're so capable, why don't you come work for someone else's family? Since you're here, you should behave yourself and stop acting all high and mighty like you're something special. You're a real scumbag!"
Aunt Li was trembling with anger. Although she was not very educated, she was always a reasonable person and never argued with anyone.
But now, to be insulted by a scoundrel like Gu Hong is undoubtedly a great humiliation for her.
You should know that Gu Hong is a rough person from the countryside. She often utters foul language at the village entrance. And she hasn't even said the more unpleasant and disgusting things yet!
The two argued back and forth for several rounds, with Aunt Li clearly at a disadvantage and rendered speechless. Her face turned red, and her eyes gradually welled up with tears. Finally, she couldn't hold back any longer, and she ripped off her apron, throwing it aside like trash.
"I quit!" Aunt Li's voice trembled slightly with anger.
Gu Hong was secretly delighted; this was exactly what she had been waiting for. Aunt Li was backing down—wasn't that exactly what she wanted? That way, the fifty yuan would naturally end up in her pocket.
"If you're not going to do it, then get out! Nobody's going to keep you here!" Gu Hong retorted without any politeness, her tone full of contempt and disdain.
Aunt Li was struck dumb upon hearing this. Her eyes widened as she stared at Gu Hong in disbelief, seemingly unable to believe the other woman could be so heartless. However, things had come to this point, and she could no longer remain there.
So she silently packed up her things, turned around and left without looking back.
The baby was sleeping peacefully in the room upstairs, and Lin Han also drifted off to sleep. Although the arguing downstairs was quite intense, they were completely unaware of it.
After a while, the baby suddenly started crying, waking Lin Han. Still half-asleep, she called out to Aunt Li. However, there was no response from the room. Lin Han found it strange; Aunt Li wasn't usually like this. Why wouldn't she answer no matter how she called?
Lin Han had no choice but to pull herself together, get out of bed, and go downstairs to check. When she reached the top of the stairs, she was surprised to find that it wasn't Aunt Li coming up, but Gu Hong.
"What are you doing here? Where's Aunt Li?" Lin Han asked, looking puzzled.
Gu Hong thought that she could control Lin Han after driving away Aunt Li, so she smugly stepped forward to try to snatch the child from Lin Han's hands.
Lin Han disliked her and would never allow her to touch his child.
"Get away from me, don't touch my child."
Seeing that Lin Han wouldn't act until she saw the benefit, Gu Hong simply explained.
"Aunt Li couldn't handle the intensity of the work and quit and went home. Now only I can help you. Don't look so unwilling. Can you handle it yourself?"
Now that everyone in the family is either at work or out of town, what can Lin Han, a mother and child, do?
Can she come up with something amazing?
They'll still have to surrender to us.
"Aunt Li is gone? How could that be?"
Lin Han found it unbelievable. Aunt Li was perfectly fine when she was putting the baby to sleep, and she didn't say anything about wanting to quit.
Why did you suddenly leave now?
Her first reaction was that it must be Gu Hong who was behind this; that person was wicked.
