Chapter 66: I’ll Create An Opportunity For You! (1/2)

These words were like needles that pierced Gu Ruoqing and Zhang Xiaohui’s hearts deeply. They each kept their own counsel, and gritted their teeth wordlessly.

When Gu Qingyao saw their expressions, she knew that they were badly upset. Considering their personalities, if she continued to torment them, they would certainly leave.

Wang Guozhu’s family did not stay for long. She did not know who Mo Beihan had found, who had actually persuaded the conceited Zhou Hong to see a doctor in a village. From her expression, it was clear that Zhou Hong had been reluctant to come.

Her attitude was rather patronizing, as if she was fulfilling an obligation.

And then there was Zhou Xiaoyu, who abhorred this place. Gu Qingyao deliberately found chances to force Gu Ruoqing into the yard so that she ran into Zhou Xiaoyu a few times. Zhou Xiaoyu looked contemptuous each time, which made Gu Ruoqing livid with rage.

At last, Wang Guozhu and his family left. Before they left, Zhang Xiaohui and Wang Guozhu exchanged a brief but affectionate glance.

That afternoon, they ate wild herbs, sorghum bread, and dried carrots, together with some fried mushrooms. This time, she did not add much oil to the mushrooms, so they were much less tasty.

Zhang Xiaohui and Gu Ruoqing’s faces turned green at the sight of these dishes.

They only ate a little, then returned to their room to sleep.

They must be too angry to eat.

Gu Qingyao ignored them. Her grandma, Wen Ruyu, cleared the bowls and chopsticks. Gu Qingyao took a piece of sorghum bread and gave it to Chen Goudan, then secretly gave him two cooked wild chicken eggs.

“If your sorghum bread gets taken away after you get home, just let them take it. You keep these eggs carefully and give them to your younger sister.”

Chen Goudan’s eyes reddened. “Thank you, Elder Sister Gu!”

All the food in the house went to his eldest uncle’s family. He and his younger sister were fortunate not to have starved to death.
