Zhou Ping felt humiliated and wronged.
“Mother, what does that have to do with me? If the Gu family is unwilling to release them, I can’t do anything about it. I… Ah…”
“Shut up!” Grandma Zhou slapped Zhou Ping when she dared to answer back.
“How dare you answer back? How brazen! The Gu family is unwilling to release them? What about you? Are you also unwilling? The Gu family was also unwilling the last time, but you still managed to get your older brother out. Why aren’t you able to do the same this time?”
Zhou Ping felt so wronged that she burst into tears. It was precisely because she had taken matters into her own hands and released them that the Gu family had driven her out!
Now that she had been driven out of the family, they would not listen to her anymore.
“What about Jinxuan? Where is Jinxuan? He can’t have left. Go and look for him! Quick!” Grandma Zhou still believed that her grandson wielded great power. She did not believe that Gu Jinxuan, a grandson of the Gu family, did not have any authority.
Zhou Ping was useless, but Gu Jinxuan would certainly be able to do it.
Zhou Ping did not dare to speak. In her family, Gu Jinxuan had been the harshest. If not for Gu Jinxuan, she might not have been divorced. It was impossible to ask Gu Jinxuan for help.
Grandma Zhou was furious when she saw that Zhou Ping did not speak. All her pent-up grievances exploded.
She immediately began to beat and kick Zhou Ping.
“Cry, cry, cry, all you can do is cry. You useless object; I’m not dead yet! Are you mourning for me?”
Akick made Zhou Ping collapse onto the ground.
Grandma Zhou grew even angrier when she saw that Zhou Ping had fallen. “Oh, dear! Are you pretending to be delicate? How dare a useless burden like you pretend to be delicate! I just beat you a little and you’ve fallen? Get up! Get up!”
Grandma Zhou screamed and continued to kick Zhou Ping. Zhou Ping had fallen while doing her chores and hurt her leg. Now Grandma Zhou was kicking her injury, and it was very painful.
The nonstop kicking caused her unbearable agony.
“Mother… Mother…”
“Shut up! Let’s see how delicate you are. I’ll beat you to death. Useless burden…”
Grandma Zhou vented all her rage on Zhou Ping. She beat her until she was tired. Her two daughters-in-law looked at Zhou Ping disdainfully, then helped Grandma Zhou away.
It was very cold, and Zhou Ping’s sisters-in-law had taken the clothes that Zhou Ping had been wearing when she returned. She might have been driven out by the Gu family, but they had not taken her luggage or her clothes. When Zhou Ping was with the Gu family, she dressed well and had nice things.
Her two sisters-in-law simply took all her luggage.
So all she was left with were some worn-out old clothes that her two sisters-in-law were going to throw away.
She shivered in the cold wind. Her leg hurt unbearably, but no one came to help her up.
Recent events had devastated Zhou Ping. She sat on the ground and began to weep.
Gu Jinxuan was nearby. He watched Zhou Ping cry until she was tired. When she stopped, he slowly walked over to Zhou Ping.
“Mother, do you regret it now?”
‘When Zhou Ping saw Gu Jinxuan, she was first shocked, then delighted!
“Jinxuan! Jinxuan, it’s really you. You didn’t leave. You can’t bear to leave Mother, can you? Wu wu wa, hurry up and think of a way to get your uncle released! Or your grandmother will beat me every day! I can’t take this much longer!
“You are the Gu family’s grandson; they won’t punish you.. Jinxuan, I’m begging you!”
