“What do you want?” Gu Qingyao asked frostily.
Old Madam Zhang frowned and said, “Damn girl, what kind of attitude is that? Stand aside.”
Gu Qingyao laughed coldly. “I think you’re mistaken. This is my house. The Gu family is no longer related to you in any way. Take your daughter and get out of my sight.”
The atmosphere grew still!
Old Madam Zhang and her two daughters-in-law were shocked.
Never mind Mo Beihan. Since when had Gu Qingyao ever dared to treat them like that?
They remembered that in the past, the girl would busy herself cooking for them, and would warmly greet them as Grandmother or Aunt!
Old Madam Zhang jumped up in fury, and rushed over to hit Gu Qingyao, but Mo Beihan stopped her. She continued to scold, “Damn girl, how dare you? Stand aside… let me kill this worthless creature…”
Gu Ruoqing heard the commotion and went over. When she heard there was meat in the kitchen, she also wanted to take a look.
In any case, she just did not want Gu Qingyao to have anything nice. She was not worthy to eat such nice food.
Gu Qingyao blocked Gu Ruoqing’s way. “Get lost. This isn’t your home. Don’t ever come here again.”
“You…”
“What? Didn’t you just publicly announce that you hate the Gu family? What are you doing here? Scram!”
Yang Zhaodi smiled insincerely and said, “Oh Yao Yao! What a bad attitude! You’re behaving just like the young ladies from former landlord families. Looks like your grandparents haven’t been able to change their bad habits even after undergoing reeducation through labor for so long!
“Look at the chicken, fish, meat and eggs in your kitchen. If you eat so sumptuously, you will be acting like the former landlords or capitalists!”
Old Madam Zhang immediately laughed when she heard this. This was how they dealt with the Gu family in the past. This tactic had worked every time without fail.
Old Madam Zhang put her hands on her hips and laughed. “That’s right! You’re just a bunch of evil landlords. You specialize in bullying innocent citizens like us. The Gu family is so poor, where did you get so much meat? The brigade is only portioning out the meat tomorrow! Where did you get so much meat at a time like this?
“You’re not worthy to eat these nice things. Only we diligent and conscientious citizens can eat better food. Bring it over now, or I’ll report you immediately.”
Gu Qingyao’s lips arched, but she said disdainfully, “My third elder brother brought this to show filial piety to my grandparents. My father got a divorce today and my grandparents are in a bad mood, so I’m making something nice for them to eat. Also, Elder Brother Beihan is here too! He’s staying for dinner to discuss something with my Third Elder Brother. Of course, we must have something nicer for our guests.
“My third and fourth elder brothers and my third elder uncle have jobs and earn a salary. Is there any problem if they give the older folks some meat and food to celebrate the new year?”
Everyone: “…”
“Talking about where things come from, what about you? Madam Zhang Xiaohui, do you want to tell us where all your nice things are from? Just looking at the watch, the cloth and the clothes you and your daughter are wearing, I estimate that they cost at least one or two hundred dollars. These are all rare commodities. You need coupons as well as cash!
“Your Zhang family is from an agricultural background. Where did you meet such rich friends? Also, in these times, anyone with money will not give such nice things to a stranger for no reason. Why don’t you explain that! Explain it clearly! If you can’t, I’ll report you. Don’t forget, you can go to jail for stealing.”
“You…”
Old Madam Zhang and Zhang Xiaohui immediately looked alarmed!
