Chapter 15: The Burden



She loudly questioned the old couple, "Grandpa and Grandma, are you telling us to stop Gu Qiu from going to school, use her as a gift to marry my brother, give Dong'er away as a child bride, and throw Xiao Zhuzi away?"

Everyone in the compound was stunned. Were these two still close relatives? How could they be so cruel?

Mrs. Gu thought she had come up with a good idea, "Yes, why would a money-loser read books? Your brother is the same, he doesn't look smart, it would be better to marry your sister off in exchange for the bride price to get a wife.

That little one can't do any work, so it's better to give it away. And that sickly one, it's better to throw it away if you can't keep it alive."

As the person in charge of the compound, Aunt Guo certainly couldn't just sit back and watch.

"Auntie, what are you talking about? You know that exchanging betrothal gifts is a bad habit? Dong'er and Xiao Zhuzi are so adorable, how can you be so cruel? Aren't they your grandchildren?"

Mrs. Gu felt a little guilty, but she didn't think she was wrong at all.

"They, of course, are my grandchildren. I'm doing this so that my eldest granddaughter won't be burdened by these little bastards.

If it weren't for these little hindrances, my eldest granddaughter would have gotten married. She's already eighteen years old, and if she doesn't get married soon, she'll be too old."

"Don't forget, you are not my grandmother. You are just my father's aunt in name only. What qualifications do you have to point fingers at our family?

My younger brothers and sisters are not a burden, so I am willing to support them, and I also want them to be successful in the future.

I advise you not to come here and cause trouble again, or I will blame you for being heartless and report you. You will be arrested and sent to labor reform in no time with such thoughts.”

Gu Chun was too lazy to argue with them anymore. He only brought them up to talk because people’s reputation was very important in this era. He wanted to avoid any bad rumors that would accuse them of being unfilial.

She looked at them with a serious expression and cold eyes, as if she wanted to kill them, which made them break out in cold sweats.

I'm afraid she's really going to report it, so I'd better go back and discuss it first.

"How dare you! We are Gu Lin's parents. I don't think you dare to report us. We just came to see you kids. If you don't appreciate it, then forget it. We're leaving."

After saying that, the two of them ran out as if they were being chased by dogs.
