Chapter 60: Let Me Think Of A Way To Let You Meet Your Real Father (1/2)

Gu Qingyao ignored her and went straight to her room. She did not care what happened next.

Gu Yunshen told Zhang Xiaohui to clear the bowls and chopsticks, but Zhang Xiaohui angrily refused. Gu Yunshen laughed coldly and said, “What’s the matter? We entertained your family. The entire family came to my house to eat and drink, and I hosted them as well. Now you are not even willing to wash the bowls?

“Zhang Xiaohui, let me warn you to watch your attitude. Otherwise, you won’t have food to eat in the future. We used up so much food today, and I’ll deduct it from your share and Gu Ruoqing’s share. You better start working.”

Zhang Xiaohui and Gu Ruoqing became frightened the moment Gu Yunshen lost his temper. They had no choice but to clear the table.

When they had brought all the bowls and chopsticks to the kitchen, they looked at the plates that had been polished clean. They had even used the pancakes to soak up the last drop of soup. When she thought of the fragrance of their lunch dishes, Gu Ruoqing cried in rage. “Mother, I want to eat meat, I want to eat meat. I haven’t eaten meat for a long time.

“I only managed to eat a little bit the last time, but before that, we didn’t eat meat for a long time. We eat coarse grain day in and day out. And this lousy place is so smelly, I don’t want to stay here anymore. Boohoohoo, I never have anything nice to eat. Why did you give it to Grandmother’s family!”

Zhang Xiaohui frowned. “Qingqing, she’s your grandmother. Your uncles are her sons. Sons will carry on the family name and take care of your grandparents. Bringing those things back was the proper thing for me to do. Do you understand?”

Old Madam Zhang favored sons over daughters and she had passed on this thinking to Zhang Xiaohui. Zhang Xiaohui had diligently gone back to the Zhang family as an act of filial piety, but the Zhang family had taken her for granted. But Zhang Xiaohui felt that she deserved it.

Gu Ruoqing had grown up like this, and was used to her mother.

“But… but now there is nothing left at home. Grandmother and the rest took so much. They’ve gone too far!”

“Shut up!” Zhang Xiaohui berated her. “So what if your grandmother took a little? They’re getting old and I am not there to take care of them. Your three uncles work hard, so what if they took some meat? How can you speak of your grandmother like that?”
