Chapter 124: Father Gu Is Back (3) (1/2)

Gu Qingyao smiled brightly. “Mother, how have you been at Grandmother’s house? Grandmother has been very good to you lately! When you went back previously, Grandmother always made you do a lot of work. In fact, you did everything. But I heard recently that Grandmother has been treating you very well and you don’t have to do anything. All you have to do is rest and take care of yourself. Is that right? That’s wonderful!”

The older women all turned to look at Zhang Xiaohui when they heard that. All of them looked curious and a few of the sharper ones glanced at her stomach.

Old Madam Zhang was a mean old woman. This was strange.

She previously treated Zhang Xiaohui like a coolie, summoning her all the time, and ordering her around like a maid. Zhang Xiaohui never had a break when she was at her mother’s house.

She did the laundry, cooked, and took care of the children every day. Then she swept the yard and took care of the entire family’s every need. But strangely enough, Zhang Xiaohui did it willingly.

The older women did not approve, but at the same time, they could not help but admire Old Madam Zhang’s ability to raise such an obedient daughter.

But as Gu Qingyao said, Old Madam Zhang seemed to have turned over a new leaf recently, and was suddenly very nice to Zhang Xiaohui.

She did not allow Zhang Xiaohui to do anything. The latter merely sauntered around the house all day. Zhang Xiaohui had even been going around boasting that her mother doted on her!

It was unbelievable!

More importantly, they heard that Zhang Xiaohui had been seen vomiting. It was almost as if she was pregnant!

Although there was nothing amiss in what Gu Qingyao said, Zhang Xiaohui could not help feeling uneasy when she saw Gu Qingyao’s brilliant smile. But she could not be bothered to deal with Gu Qingyao. She only wanted to break away from the Gu family as soon as possible.

“Where’s your father? Make him hurry home. It’s almost the new year, why isn’t he back yet?”
