Gu Miao felt depressed after being stepped on, and she no longer dared to be arrogant.
"I... only want brand new clothes. I don't want clothes that have been worn by others!"
Zhao Xiaoxing was cleaning the kitchen. When she heard this, she quickly stuck her head out.
"My sister-in-law gave me a summer dress a while ago, but I'm reluctant to wear it. Sister-in-law, why don't you lend it to me?"
"Yeah." Gu Miao didn't even look at her, and acted as if it was a matter of course: "Okay, then go get it."
Zhao Xiaoxing quickly dropped the mop and turned into the room.
A moment later, she came holding the skirt.
Gu Miao grabbed it, glanced at it and thought it was very good.
"Is there any underwear you haven't worn yet?"
Zhao Xiaoxing thought for a moment, blushed and whispered, "I sewed two new pairs of pants myself... but I haven't worn them yet."
"Go get it." Gu Miao raised his chin and ordered.
Zhao Xiaoxing turned around and took it.
Gu Miao checked it out and found that the stitches were neat and dense, so she took it into her arms without hesitation.
"Yes, give me both of them. My bag was stolen, and I need a replacement set of clothes."
Although Zhao Xiaoxing was a little reluctant, she had no choice but to nod after hearing what she said.
"I'll do it next time. If you like... take them all."
Gu Miao ignored her and turned around to sit down.
Zhao Xiaoxing went back to the kitchen to continue working.
Gu Yi was furious and cursed in a low voice: "Gu Miao! Your second sister-in-law gave you a skirt, why didn't you even say thank you? Where are your manners and politeness? Have you thrown them away? Huh?"
Gu Miao snorted, "What do you care about me? I'm the younger sister-in-law, she's the new daughter-in-law, my status is higher than hers. Why should I call her that? Mom said she's just a girl from the mountains of Pingshuo. What's so great about her? She keeps saying 'I' here and 'I' there, she's really mean."
"You——!!!" Gu Yi almost fainted from anger, "Shut up! Go back to Shangjing City!"
Gu Miao raised her chin: "I'm not here to look for you, why do you care about me?! Don't think you are great just because you have a job in a shipyard? Marrying a mountain girl as a wife - how unrefined!"
"Gu Miao!" Gu Qi couldn't stand it anymore and said in a deep voice, "If you keep talking nonsense, I'll kick you out tomorrow! Go to the small room in the corner and stay there. I'll call mom tomorrow and wait for her to pick you up."
"I..." Gu Miao was most afraid that her elder brother would turn cold, so she immediately became honest and stammered, "Brother, I have already graduated from junior high school... I want to come here to work."
Gu Qijun's face was cold and he raised his eyebrows: "Why? You don't go to high school to go to college?"
"No." Gu Miao avoided his gaze and whispered, "I want to work in a shipyard... I don't plan to go to high school anymore."
Gu Qi shook his head coldly: "Don't be silly. Your second brother didn't have the chance to study before, and he had to give up. You and Xuan can catch up with the good policies and good situation, how can you give up such a great opportunity?"
"I don't want to study anymore." Gu Miao pouted and explained: "Sister Tiantian said that after graduating from university, you can still work and earn money. I have just graduated from junior high school, and my salary is not low, enough to find a stable job here at the shipyard."
Gu Qi said solemnly: "Impossible. How can junior high school be considered high school? You and Xuan must both go to high school and take the college entrance examination. After graduating from college, you will be assigned to work in relevant units."
"I-I don't want to!" Gu Miao's eyes turned red: "I don't like studying! The books are so difficult, I have to remember and recite, and I have to do exercises! I'm so fed up with it!"
Gu Yi felt much better when he saw her being humiliated.
"If studying is tiring, then working is even more tiring for you. If you don't believe me, go work in the factory cafeteria this summer and see how long you can last!"
"I don't want to!" Gu Miao was disgusted when she heard it, and said loudly: "I want to work in an office. I have a junior high school education, I am not a mountain girl who can't read a word!"
Gu Yi sneered: "To work in an office, one must either have professional skills or high school education. Which one are you? You haven't even learned any skills yet, and you still want to work in an office?"
"I won't help you find a job." Gu Qi said solemnly, "Go take a shower and rest first, and wait for mom to pick you up. You will register for high school after the summer vacation, and you can't do whatever you want."
Gu Miao's eyes were red and she was angry: "I-I don't rely on you! Anyway, I'm here to find Sister Tiantian!"
After saying that, she stomped hard on the floor and went to the bathroom.
Gu Qi and Gu Yi looked at each other, both of them looked unhappy.
It’s Qin Tiantian again!
What the hell is she planning?!
Sitting on a small stool, Little Tiger put down the last chess piece and said excitedly with a smile: "Dad, you lost!"
Gu Qi came back to his senses, glanced at the chessboard, and smiled unconsciously.
"Yes, I lost."
Xiao Huzi was used to losing and was very proud of himself. He imitated the way his father comforted him before and stood up and patted Gu Qi's shoulder.
"Don't give up, and don't be discouraged. Play well, and sooner or later you'll have a chance to beat me."
Gu Qi glanced at him with a mixture of laughter and tears, then patted his chubby little butt.
"It's late, go to bed!"
Little Tiger ran into the master bedroom laughing.
Gu Yi came over worriedly and whispered, "Brother, this silly girl has always been close to Qin Tiantian. She is usually very timid. If no one instigated her, how could she run from the north to the south by herself? I don't know why Qin Tiantian tricked her to come here?"
"Be patient." Gu Qi said calmly, "Just wait and see what happens."
Gu Yi nodded slightly.
The next morning, Gu Qi called the neighborhood committee in his hometown.
The old mother really didn't know that her little daughter had quietly run away. She said that the girl had deceived her, saying that she would pack a few clothes and stay at her uncle's house for two or three days and then come back. Who knew that she actually ran away to Yucheng!
Before she finished speaking, she started to sob and said that Gu Miao was too worrying. Her older sister at home was busy preparing for the college entrance examination, getting up early and going to bed late every day to study, and she had lost a lot of weight. She couldn't take care of the older child, and she couldn't take care of the younger one either.
Gu Qi's eardrums ached from what he heard. He tried to comfort her, saying that Gu Miao was fine and that she didn't need to worry.
"Mom, take good care of Gu Xuan first, let her relax and take the exam, don't be too nervous. The college entrance examination will be in a few days, and you can't leave. After she finishes the exam, you can bring her here to relax. You can take Gu Xuan and Gu Miao back before the results are announced."
Ying sighed and said that Gu Xuan never listened to her. She studied very hard every day, but her grades didn't improve at all. She was worried that she wouldn't do well in the exam.
"I don't know what's wrong with her. She hasn't been able to sleep well for several nights. Xuan is a very hard-working child. She gets up before dawn to recite her lessons and refuses to go to bed even at night. I feel sorry for her when I see how hard she is studying. Aqi, you did so well in school, couldn't you give your sister some advice?"
Gu Qi said calmly, "Mom, learning is a journey of hard work. Studying does require hard work, but it also requires talent. The college entrance examination is coming soon. Don't stay up late all the time. Don't be too tired, which will affect your test scores. Tell Ah Xuan to relax, eat well, sleep well, and get enough energy for the exam."
When Ying heard this, she frowned: "What? Don't you have any tricks for taking exams?"
Gu Qi secretly laughed when he heard this and said, "Most teachers have already taught us exam skills, so why should I tell them? We don't have much time to prepare for the exam this time, so tell Xuan not to put too much pressure on himself, just be in a good mood and do well in the exam."
"Ah!" Ying was very annoyed and complained, "You all ran away to Yucheng, leaving us, a widowed mother and an orphan, here. There is no one to discuss things with. I have asked Xuan to apply for Yucheng University. If he passes, our whole family will move to your place."
What?
After hearing this, Gu Qi frowned deeply.
"Mom, let's wait and see. I still need to discuss this with Xing'er."
Ying said angrily: "What are we discussing? I'm the mother-in-law, she has to listen to me! I'm the boss of this family, she has to listen to me! Let's not talk about it for now, I'll go there when Xuan passes the exam!"
With a "click", the phone was hung up.
