Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
The child was stunned when he saw him. Terror flashed across his face as he hurriedly ran out. “I, I really didn’t mean to bump your carriage. I’m sorry, I’m sorry. Don’t be angry.”
Ah Mao was stunned for a moment. He quickly pulled him behind a haystack and asked him with a frown, “Are you from Gu Chuanzong’s family?”
The child’s face turned pale. “Don’t tell my grandpa. I can apologize. I can apologize. I…”
“Wait, I’m not here to settle scores with you. Don’t be nervous, don’t be afraid.” A bad feeling flashed across Ah Mao’s heart. “You call Gu Chuanzong Grandpa. You’re his grandson. What’s your name?”
The kid took a step back and shook his head, refusing to say.
Ah Mao wanted to ask something, but a sharp voice suddenly came from the courtyard. “Bian Tou, Bian Tou, where did you go? Didn’t I ask you to wash your clothes? Where are you?”
The guess in Ah Mao’s heart was 70-80% confirmed, but the child took the opportunity when he was not paying attention to run away.
“Second Aunt, I’ll go wash the clothes right away.”
“Right away? Why are you so useless? You’re eating and drinking for free in our house. You don’t even know how to do some work. I told you to wash them two hours ago. You’re lazy, right? You’re not allowed to eat tonight, do you hear me?”
The child lowered his head slightly and rubbed his small hands together. However, the woman sneered and pulled his arm fiercely. “What are you doing? You deliberately showed it to me. Do you want to say that your hand is injured?”
The child looked up and shook his head quickly.
“Then why are you crying? Smile for me.”
The child hurriedly opened his mouth and squeezed out a smile. His small hands were behind his back, and he even chuckled twice to show that he was smiling.
The woman was disgusted. “Your smile is so ugly. Hurry up and get to work. You still have to feed the pigs after washing the clothes, little bastard.”
After saying that, she pinched him hard again. The child staggered and wanted to cry, but when he thought of the woman’s words, he did not dare to. He turned around and obediently went to carry the basket of clothes.
The basket was not big, but there were many clothes inside, including women’s clothes.
The child wanted to put it on the ground and pull it, but he was afraid that it would break the basket, so he could only take out half of the clothes and wash the rest later.
Ah Mao clenched his fists tightly. He wanted to rush to the Gu family and beat that damn woman to death.
What about Gu Chuanzong? Wasn’t that child his grandson? Didn’t he know that his grandson was being bullied?
Of course, Gu Chuanzong knew. He was in the room at this moment. As he helped Madam Zhao pick up the beans, he sighed.
Madam Zhao snorted. “Why? Do you feel sorry for her? If you do, tell your second daughter-in-law not to scold her.”
“Sigh.” Doctor Gu sighed again. “Forget it. It’s his bad luck. He has no parents. Even his sister is gone, and his brother-in-law’s family doesn’t want him. Since we’re raising him, we can’t let him do nothing. I know that this second daughter-in-law is angry. Her Xian’er has been sold, and we don’t know where she is now. In the end, our family is raising an outsider now. She definitely won’t be happy. He won’t lose anything even if she scolds him.”
“That’s right. Isn’t there a saying about people who live under someone else’s roof? It’s already good enough that we’re providing for him. As long as Second Daughter-in-law doesn’t make a fuss, making the entire family unable to live in peace, it’s fine even if Bian Tou gets scolded.”
Old Gu nodded, shook his head, and continued to pick up the beans.
Ah Mao, who was outside, followed the child to the river. He wanted to tell him to stop washing..
