Third Son and his wife were weak. Their children were also bullied terribly. In the Zhou family, Old Madam Zhou did not favor them. They continued to stay with the Zhou family but had no hope of succeeding.
First and Second Son’s families were rotten. There were two very young children whom Gu Jinxuan could not bear to see destroyed, so he asked Third Son’s family to bring the two children with them. The Gu family would provide them with money, but Third Son and his wife would be responsible for
raising them.
‘The New Year arrived. Things were very lively in the Gu family.
Everyone had come home for the New Year. Because the two old folks lived with Second Uncle, everyone was used to coming to his house during the New Year and other festivals.
On Third Uncle’s side, Gu Jinxuan and Zhou Ping did not appear. Gu Chonghua and Wen Ruyu naturally wondered about it.
Gu Jinhang smiled and said, “Grandfather, Grandma, don’t worry. Little Five has brought Third Aunt to visit her parents. The Zhou family has experienced many setbacks lately, and Third Aunt has not gone back to spend the New Year for a long time. She just made the trip back.
“Little Five asked me to tell everyone! But I was so busy over the last two days that I forgot!”
‘The events in Third Uncle’s family had been so sudden that not everyone in the Gu family knew. Only the four members of Second Uncle’s family and Oldest Cousin knew. Of the rest, only Gu Qingyao knew what had happened.
“No… Impossible, impossible! You gave the Gu family four sons. How can they possibly drive you out?”
In her eyes, giving your in-laws a son was a huge feat. Zhou Ping had given the Gu family four sons. How could she possibly be divorced?
‘The Gu family had four sons, and the third son’s family had the most sons, plus her daughter had given birth to all of them. In these circumstances, Zhou Ping should have her way in everything within the Gu family. How could the family have thrown her out?
“Mother, come and eat something! It’s New Year’s Day…”
“How can I eat? Look at what has happened to our family? Is it like a family? Are you still in the mood to eat?”
Zhou Ping’s eyes reddened. Her head drooped, and she kept quiet.
Zhou Ping was Grandma Zhou’s only hope. Now that the hope had been extinguished, she vented all her anger on Zhou Ping.
“It’s all your fault, all your fault. You useless creature. You gave them four sons, but they still threw you out. What was the use of raising you for so many years? After raising you for so many years, all I ask from you is a little money, but in the end, they drove you out over such a small matter.. Why go on
living? You might as well kill yourself!”
