"What happened? Tell me quickly."
Gu Hong was startled. Old Master Gu was used to being a leader and had a very imposing presence. She almost couldn't resist telling the truth.
In the end, he stubbornly insisted that he hadn't done anything.
Grandma Jiang could tell from Gu Hong's expression and behavior that she was guilty.
"You don't have to tell me, I'll go to Aunt Li's house and ask her right now."
"You can't just have a perfectly healthy person leave on a whim, or quit without a reason."
Gu Hong felt a little uneasy. She thought to herself, "I absolutely can't ask her! Who knows if Aunt Li will just make things up or embellish it?"
If she says something untrue, that would be a huge problem.
"Oh dear, please don't ask! Someone who came to help out has left, so there's no need for us to chase after them. After all, we're the hosts; it would be too undignified of us to do that."
Besides, I can easily do all the chores that Aunt Li does! Why bother inviting an outsider to our home? It's so unsafe! What if Aunt Li is a dishonest person and sneaks into our house with something? We'd be in real trouble then!
So, why not just let me stay and take care of the baby and Lin Han? I'm pretty quick and efficient! Besides, I've had three kids myself, so I'm extremely familiar with these things. It's better to let family earn that fifty yuan than give it to a stranger!
Grandma Jiang finally understood completely. It turned out that Gu Hong had been eyeing Aunt Li's fifty yuan wages all along! That's why she had resorted to such unscrupulous means to drive Aunt Li away.
Previously, Grandma Jiang only had some doubts about this matter, but after hearing what Gu Hong said just now, she was now 100% certain that Gu Hong was the one who did it.
Grandma Jiang was furious. She said to Gu Hong with a serious expression, "Aunt Li was specially hired by our family to take care of Hanhan. Do you think we have forgotten about you switching the milk powder before?"
You're still delusional enough to think you can earn fifty yuan? You've only been here for less than three days and you've already caused so much trouble. Our family simply can't keep you here any longer. Pack your things right now and take the train back to your hometown!
When Gu Hong heard that Old Madam Jiang wanted to send her away, her heart felt like it had been struck by a heavy hammer, and she panicked instantly. Her eyes widened, and she stared at Old Madam Jiang in disbelief.
Her voice unconsciously rose eight octaves as she shouted urgently, "You're kicking me out? What right do you have to kick me out? This is my cousin's house, only my cousin has the right to kick me out!"
You're just an outsider who married into the Gu family. What right do you have to tell me what to do?
Hearing Gu Hong's words, Old Mrs. Jiang found it utterly ridiculous. She had been married to Old Master Gu for so many years, bearing children for the Gu family, managing the household affairs, and doing her utmost, yet now Gu Hong was calling her an outsider?
She couldn't help but sneer, giving Old Master Gu a sharp glare as if blaming him for having such an insensible cousin.
Grandma Jiang took a deep breath, composed herself, and then slowly said to Gu Hong, "You call me an outsider? Do you know how much I've sacrificed for this family all these years since I married into the Gu family?"
Which of my children wasn't raised with my own hard work? My position in this family isn't something you can decide.
That's just making trouble out of nothing.
She turned to look at Grandpa Gu and said irritably, "You brought this trouble upon yourself, so you have to deal with it yourself. Anyway, I absolutely do not agree to Gu Hong staying in the house any longer. Other things are minor, but if she accidentally hurts my great-grandson and Hanhan, I will regret it for the rest of my life!"
