Gu Qingyao laughed coldly. “Your surname is also Gu. You’re also an offspring of the Five Black Categories. What’s the matter? You don’t want to work but want to eat. You even direct others to serve you. You are a typical hedonist and are acting like a landlord. You’re the one who should undergo education through punishment. If you refuse to disobey, I will continue forbidding you to eat.”
“My mother is a true peasant, and a proper revolutionary. It’s you who are…”
“It’s true that your mother is a peasant, but she’s not anything to shout about. She married into a family of bad elements like the Gu family, so she is also a bad element. My grandparents have already sincerely acknowledged their mistakes, and work hard every day as a profound act of self-criticism. They have transformed themselves through labor.
“What has your mother done? She married a bad element that she looked down on for the sake of some resources that my eldest and second uncle sent back to show filial piety for their parents. Then she spends her days lazing around, expecting others to serve her. Both of you are classic capitalists. You should be sent to the cowshed to reform.”
“Rubbish!” Gu Ruoqing was so frightened that she turned pale.
She and her mother were finished if they ever received such a label. This Gu Qingyao was too evil. Was she driving her and her mother towards death?
But she did not recall that she and Zhang Xiaohui frequently used such threats on the Gu family.
Gu Qingyao laughed coldly. “Rubbish? I am not talking rubbish. To think that you still don’t know how to cook at your age. And you dare to deny you’re living a life of luxury?
“You spend most of your day outside playing instead of working. When you come back, you just sleep while expecting me to cook for you. Ah! What luxury! Just like the young mistresses in the landlord families. People like you should be…”
“Shut up, I’ve never done that!” Gu Ruoqing was ashen with fear, and her expression was terrified. The Gu Qingyao she was facing was terrifying.
Gu Qingyao’s lips arched in a cold smile. At this time, Gu Ruoqing was just a young, 15-year-old girl. She had grown up in a village and was not as mature as she had been in her previous life, so she was easily frightened.
