Chapter 284: Wang Guozhu Gets A Divorce (5) (1/2)

“Here, take this. I know that that girl, Yao Yao, has plenty of money. Her older cousins and Mo Beihan all give her money, so she is never shorthanded. But I know you. Once you’re there, it’ll be awkward to ask someone younger than you to pay for your purchases. Take this and buy whatever you want. If it isn’t enough, tell me and I’ll give you more.”

“Mother…” Gu Yunshuang’s eyes reddened. She was too embarrassed to take it.

Wen Ruyu stuffed the 20 yuan and a stack of coupons into Gu Yunshuang’s hands. “Don’t stand on ceremony with your mother. You’ve suffered for so many years. Your parents’ circumstances have brought you down.

“I know your personality. You’re not a weak person who is easily bullied. The Gu family’s background had a big role to play in the kind of life you led in the Li family. Take this! Have fun.

“We only have one granddaughter, Yao Yao, and everyone dotes on her. You are also our only daughter and Mother dotes on you in the same way.”

Gu Yunshuang almost cried.

Wen Ruyu hastened to ask, “Why are you crying? You’re finally back. Cherish your future. The best is yet to be!”

“Mhm!”

The next day, Gu Qingyao, Gu Yunshuang and Gu Fangting took the brigade’s ox cart and went to town.

The first thing that Gu Qingyao did was to send presents back to Mo Beihan’s friends. She sent grain to those who had sent her meat and vice versa, and added some of the preserved fruits she had made.

When that was done, she went with Gu Yunshuang and Gu Fangting to shop at the co-operative.

Gu Fangting was filled with curiosity about the town. She expressed wonder at everything she saw and was overjoyed by the items in the co-operative.

Gu Yunshuang felt sorry for her daughter and bought some things.
