The Rebirth of Space: the Lucky Girl From a Farm Family

Chapter 17 Bullying goes too far

 Gu Huayu thought that she had to pull Gu Chengjiao out of the fire bed.

"Uncle, the eldest sister is weak and needs to rest. We can't leave the eldest sister here. We have to take the eldest sister back. You go and help the eldest sister clean up and pay tribute." Gu Huayu looked at Gu Chengjiao, who was so weak that her face was stained with tears, and turned to Mrs. Qin.

“No, there’s no need to clean up my mother’s side, I won’t go back.” Gu Chengjiao stopped her.

Mrs. Qin had already half stood up. After listening to Gu Chengjiao's words, she sat back down and asked angrily: "You won't go back? Are you going to stay and wait to die? How sick are you? They have done nothing for you. Ask a doctor for help? Who cares about you? Why did I give birth to you, a loser?"

Mrs. Qin was angry and annoyed, and wished she could give her daughter two slaps.

Seeing that Aniang was angry, Gu Chengjiao hurriedly explained: "Aniang is not angry. My daughter doesn't want to go back because it will embarrass her mother's family and bring shame to her family if she goes back like this. My daughter is unfilial and makes Aniang worry about her daughter."

After hearing what her daughter said, Ms. Qin's anger dissipated a lot, but she felt even more heartbroken, with tears streaming down her face.

Gu Huayu looked at the sensible Gu Chengjiao, looked up at the roof sadly, held back the tears in her eyes, took a deep breath, and asked: "Sister, is your face more important than your life? Huh? If you are good at home, Have you ever thought about how sad people will be and how sad my aunt will be?"

Gu Chengjiao did not dare to look directly at Qin and Gu Huayu. She looked away and let tears flow down the corners of her eyes.

Seeing Gu Chengjiao crying silently, Gu Huayu sighed slightly, stretched out her hand to hold Gu Chengjiao's hand, and said warmly: "Sister, you are weak, be obedient, come back with us first, and take good care of yourself, okay?"

Gu Chengjiao remained silent and shed tears.

Qin said angrily: "Cry, cry, cry, you only know how to cry, is crying useful? You are just talking, what do you think?"

Gu Huayu looked at the angry Qin family, then at the silent Gu Chengjiao, and thought to herself that she would have to take strong medicine.

 Gu Huayu patted Qin's hand and said comfortingly: "Auntie, don't be angry, the eldest sister has her own thoughts." After saying that, Gu Huayu looked at Gu Chengjiao and asked softly: "Sister, does my brother-in-law want to take a concubine?"

Qin turned to look at Gu Huayu and asked in shock: "Xiaoyu, are you telling the truth?"

Gu Huayu glanced at Mrs. Qin without answering, then looked at Gu Chengjiao, "Sister, tell me, right?"

Mrs. Qin turned to look at Gu Chengjiao and asked in a deep voice: "Xiaojiao, tell me, is what Xiaoyu said true?"

 Gu Chengjiao nodded with tears in her eyes.

Mrs. Qin stood up from the square stool with a bang, "Damn it, Han Zhiyong is really bullying me. How did he agree to this in the first place? I'm going to argue with him." Mrs. Qin said as she walked out.

 Gu Chengjiao wanted to get up to stop her, but Gu Huayu stretched out her hand to hold her down, "The eldest sister is still lying down, let the eldest uncle go and argue with them, the eldest uncle, the second uncle, father and brother are all outside, the eldest uncle can't suffer the loss."

Gu Chengjiao looked at Mrs. Qin's angry back, wiped her tears with her sleeves, and choked up: "It's all because of my unfilial piety that I let my family worry about me."

Gu Huayu said comfortingly: "Sister, don't say that, a family should care about each other. Sister, tell me, what's going on with my brother-in-law taking a concubine?"

Speaking of Han Zhiyong's concubine, Gu Chengjiao said aggrievedly: "If he only took concubines, I would admit it. He actually asked me to be a concubine and let that woman be his wife on the grounds that I couldn't bear children. I want to be a concubine, How can I hold my head high and be a good person? My mother-in-law’s face has been completely humiliated.
