Chapter 30: Taking Advantage



Gu Jiaojiao bought two rabbits and a big pig's trotter for Su Shuoci to make up for his shortness of breath.

Although the Su family didn't have a refrigerator, she had space, so when she saw fresh pork belly, she bought ten kilograms.

They also bought two sets of pig offal. The Su family grew their own vegetables, so they only needed to buy meat.

She thought that Mr. and Mrs. Su would quit their jobs today and go home early, so they didn't go shopping anymore.

Su's father and mother, who were missed by Gu Jiaojiao, resigned from their jobs very smoothly and returned home at nine o'clock.

When Su's father returned home, he was tinkering with the mobile cart. Su's mother was taking care of the vegetable garden. There was a hurried knock on the door.

"Here I come, here I come."

When Su's mother opened the door and saw Dong's stepmother leading a group of people and carrying a reclining chair, her heart skipped a beat.

"Sister-in-law of the Su family, this is Jiaojiao's grandfather, parents, and two brothers. Where is Jiaojiao?"

"Jiaojiao and Shuoci are out buying things. Please come in quickly. The child's father should come out to help. Jiaojiao's family is here."

"Here I come~"

Su's father immediately came out to support the old man of the Gu family, and Su's mother enthusiastically led the others into the house.

Ren Xiaofang ran away as if she was escaping. She usually liked to take advantage of others.

But today, she had already taken advantage of the situation by sending the Gu family to the Su family, so she turned around and ran away.

Old Master Gu felt heartbroken, but he couldn't say anything. After all, he had suffered enough contempt in the past ten years.

Mother Su saw that the Gu family was like eggplants hit by frost, but she did not despise them. After her son was injured, he was even worse than them.

At least the Gu family members were dressed neatly. Nowadays, the gap between the rich and the poor is not that big.

Everyone was wearing gray, black, and blue clothes, and they all looked the same.

Su's mother asked Su's father to get some hot water for the Gu family to wash their hands, while she made a cup of malted milk for each of the three awake people.

Gu Jingtai's eyes became moist as he held the fragrant malted milk. His family would occasionally buy a bottle.

At that time, everyone tacitly saved the water for their younger sister.

At this time, Gu's mother woke up after being rocked all the way on the recliner, and Su's mother immediately wiped her face and hands with hot water.

"Mother-in-law, please drink some hot water. I'll go make a cup of malted milk. Jiaojiao said that people who have just woken up from a coma should drink some hot water first."

Mother Gu was in a daze, looking at the living room, which was no longer the slightly more upscale furniture from her parents' home.

Father Gu took the malted milk and took a sip. He hadn't drunk it for many years, but it still tasted the same as before, no, it was even more fragrant.

But his eldest son was still in a coma, and he was in no mood to savor the taste, so he drank the cup of malted milk like a cow chewing a peony.

Old Master Gu was holding on for dear life, and now after drinking a few sips of malted milk, his spirits have improved a little.

"My dear relatives, I'm sorry to bother you."

"No, no, you are Jiaojiao's family, you are our relatives. It's okay for you to stay in our house until you recover."

Mother Su said enthusiastically, "It's thanks to Jiaojiao that my son has recovered. I'm very grateful to you."

"Yes, this house was allocated to my son by his company. It belongs to Jiaojiao. There are three rooms on the second floor, and my daughter lives alone upstairs."

Father Su spoke in a simple and honest manner, with a sincere face, which made Mr. Gu, who was used to the fickleness of human nature, let down his guard.

"Could you please go upstairs and take a nap?" Mother Su asked cautiously when she saw that the Gu family members looked exhausted.

"Jiao...Jiao...when can you come back?" asked Father Gu.

"I should be back early today. I usually come back in the afternoon..."

Su's mother told the Gu family about how they quit their jobs and went home to set up a street stall.

She was so excited, and there was no one to share it with her, Su's father also added with a beaming smile.

The Gu family soon understood that this was what their granddaughter (daughter) (sister) meant.

"In-laws, why don't you just go to work?" Father Gu felt that his daughter was being unreasonable.

"Jiaojiao said that we earn more by selling things on the street, which is better than working and being looked down upon. She said that selling things on the street is not stealing or robbing, and that everywhere needs to let some people get rich first."

Old Master Gu became more curious about his granddaughter whom he had never met. He also had the same idea.

As Gu Jingtai listened to what Su's father and mother said, his mind became active. He was thinking of coming to the city to find a job!

Old Master Gu lay on the reclining chair in the Su family's house, feeling very comfortable. The simple and honest aura of Su's father and mother made him feel at ease.

"What's wrong with my brother-in-law? I'll ask Doctor Sun to come and take a look." Father Su said worriedly when he saw Gu Jinghua's face was dark blue.

"Doctor Sun has already examined him. We can only wait for him to wake up...if..."

"It's okay. Our Jiaojiao can treat illnesses. Let's wait until Jiaojiao comes back. Dad, go to the door and see if they've returned."

"Jiaojiao can cure illnesses? Don't go and see her, we can wait."

Old Master Gu was stunned. Could it be that she inherited her grandmother's talent?

Mother Su rolled her eyes at the gate and spoke to the Gu family father and son in a low voice.

"Yes, I'll tell you secretly, Jiaojiao said she can cure my son's leg, which many authoritative doctors can't cure."

Father Gu was amused by Mother Su's appearance. Maybe it was because he had hope or something, but he felt relaxed all of a sudden.

Gu's mother and Gu Jingtai were a little far away and did not hear what Su's mother said, but they were obviously happy to see Gu's father.

They were also happy, and the atmosphere in the living room was very harmonious, without the sense of restraint that they had at Dong's house.

Su's mother went to the vegetable garden to pick vegetables and asked Su's father to chat with the Gu family.

Father Su was an honest man, but the cunning old man Gu was able to get all of Gu Jiaojiao's secrets out of him in just a few words.

When Mr. Gu learned that the Sheng family had actually published an advertisement in the newspaper to sever ties with Jiaojiao, what was wrong with Jiaojiao wanting to compete for favor with Sheng Xinglian?

If Sheng Xinglian wanted to compete with Jiaojiao for favor, he would just treat it as raising two granddaughters. Why not?

Just sever the relationship. His granddaughter will naturally be taken care of by them. Mr. Gu had no expression on his face.

Father Su thought they didn't mind, so he answered whatever the old man asked and imitated how the people in the compound cursed Gu Jiaojiao.

Mother Gu was so angry that she almost fainted again. Gu Jingtai kept patting his mother on the back. He was also very angry.

Seeing that his daughter-in-law and grandson couldn't stand it, Mr. Gu changed the subject and said that this relative was too honest and he would talk to him alone later.

In Su's mother's vegetable garden, there were green pumpkins, eggplants, beans, and green peppers, and Su's mother picked them all.

She wanted to show off her cooking skills and make a sumptuous lunch to entertain the Gu family, and also let Jiaojiao comment on her cooking skills.

"Mom, why did you pick so many vegetables today?" Gu Jiaojiao asked curiously as she pushed Su Shuoci into the yard.

"Jiaojiao, your grandpa and your parents are here." Su's mother said with a smile.

"My grandpa is here?" Gu Jiaojiao left Su Shuoci and ran into the house.

Su Shuoci: ...

My daughter-in-law doesn’t need me anymore because she has relatives!

That was enough. He controlled his wheelchair and followed in quickly.
