As soon as Gu Tiantian finished speaking, a seven or eight-year-old boy walked out of the kitchen on Grandma Gu’s side. He was quite thin, with big eyes, and held a big red apple in his hand.
He took a bite and crunched on it.
"Grandma, hurry and get that bad girl back. She better remember to bring me something tasty, or I’m not leaving!"
The little boy said threateningly while eating the apple.
Gu Tiantian listened, so furious her lungs were about to explode!
Counting the time, there was still a full half month left until the debt was due.
But they showed up early.
"Grandma, just wait, I’ll be back soon!"
On the other end of the phone, Grandma Gu sounded very anxious.
"Tian Tian, don’t rush, work comes first, safety first!"
But Gu Tiantian didn’t hear these words.
She hung up the phone, grabbed her bag, and rushed out without even changing out of the patient’s gown.
No one knows better than her what her aunt Zhang Yuexin was like.
Back when her father was hospitalized, she knelt at her uncle’s doorstep for three whole days before he gave her the money.
Even though her father eventually passed away, she was still grateful for her uncle’s help at that time.
As for her aunt Zhang Yuexin, she was a miser who valued money more than her own eyes. Every time she went to repay the debt, Zhang Yuexin would coldly remind her how their uncle lent her the money back then, and how frugal their life was.
Her uncle would awkwardly look at her every time, just about to speak on her behalf, only to be interrupted by her aunt, who even scolded him in front of her.
Recalling her uncle’s embarrassed and awkward expression, Gu Tiantian felt indescribable emotions.
Her uncle Gu Qingran was a very honest and straightforward person, silent and not talkative.
Aunt Zhang Yuexin was a shrew, confident because of the money she had, and her ownership of a supermarket, always looking down on her uncle.
They were clearly a well-off family, but every time they came to her, they acted like beggars who hadn’t eaten for years, speaking more pitifully each time, making Gu Tiantian wish she could conjure tens of thousands in cash to throw at them.
Thinking of her aunt acting like a queen in her house, ordering Grandma to cook and serve her, Gu Tiantian was enraged.
Thirty minutes later, Gu Tiantian reached the entrance of the neighborhood.
She paid, got out of the car, and went straight upstairs.
Gu Tiantian knocked on the door, her voice loud.
Grandma Gu was in the kitchen cooking, the exhaust fan rumbling loudly, she didn’t hear Gu Tiantian’s knocking.
But Zhang Yuexin, sitting on the sofa, heard the knocking and Gu Tiantian’s voice, her face full of disdain and contempt.
She looked at her son, who was eating a mango, and motioned with her lips.
"Liangliang, that worthless girl is back, go open the door!"
Gu Liang glared at Zhang Yuexin with dissatisfaction, threw the mango he had been eating on the ground, and threw a tantrum.
"I’m not going, if you want, you go yourself!"
Seeing this, Zhang Yuexin quickly tried to pacify him.
"Okay, okay, Mom will go, Mom will go, don’t be mad, Liangliang!"
She got Gu Liang another mango, peeled it for him, then got up to open the door.
Seeing it was Zhang Yuexin who opened the door, Gu Tiantian suppressed her inner anger.
Zhang Yuexin snorted coldly, barely acknowledging Gu Tiantian, and turned away.
She sat back on the sofa and picked up the last apple on the table, taking a hard bite.
Gu Tiantian was so angry that if it weren’t for considering Grandma’s age, she would have grabbed a broom to drive Zhang Yuexin and that cousin out.
