“Is that how you look at me too, Big Brother?”
Mother Gu was on the verge of breaking down.
She had always been a leech but nobody ever told her in the past that it was wrong.
Ever since she was a child, Father Gu had doted on her and nobody ever put a stop to that.
Then, she become Gu Jiangxin’s full time housewife and nobody put a stop to that either.
All the way until today, she returned to her maiden family after the divorce. Naturally, still as useless as she always had been but others would gossip about her behind her back.
It wasn’t easy for her to spend an entire night on reflecting upon herself and felt that she could at least give it a try and learn to earn her own living like that Qian Jinglan did. All she got was her big brother pointing straight at her nose, yelling at her and calling her useless.
What was she supposed to do?
Working hard or not working hard, she could do nothing right!
“I get it now. You feel that I am back to fight over the Zhang’s fortune with you so it’s best that I just watch myself, behave in an acceptable manner, and ask my daughter for money should I need any.”
Mother Gu sneered.
“Now I get why Big Brother constantly reminds me and hints at me to ask Wushuang for money.”
Zhang Sheng was so angry that he could barely talk.
Mother Gu, on the other hand, put down her cellphone and said, “Big Brother, Second Brother is overseas right now so I called him up so I can talk to both of you at the same time. Some of you are not happy that I returned to the Zhang’s. One way or another, when Dad passes away after he is 100 years old, I will still get a share of the fortune. I plan to have Dad have his will ready and I will take out my share first. I will use that money to start my pre-school. I will be responsible for any gains or losses myself. From now on, everything that I eat or use here will also be deducted from my share.”
This time, it wasn’t just Zhang Sheng, even Chen Yunping was stunned speechless.
They had no idea how Mother Gu’s brain works. Had they not brought her back home, she would still be crying every day at City Shun!
Now that they had brought her back, she turned around and started badmouthing them and wanted to divide up the family fortune?
Zhang Sheng was so angry that he busted out laughing. In fact, he was so angry that he agreed to her suggestion immediately! “Great! Just great!”
There was not much that Chen Yunping could say.
After all, there was not much she could opine on when or how the Zhang family would divide up their family fortune. As a wife or as a daughter-in-law, the more she said, the worse it was going to get.
Mother Gu, seeing how the two were remaining silence, all the more insisted on following through with her plan.
She, too, was very upset right now. Deep down inside, she understood that her brother didn’t want to split up with her like that but hearing what Mrs. Gao and the others had said about her the day before had enlightened her.
Her big brother’s feelings toward her would change over time.
No matter how much he had doted on her in the past, he has a wife and children now. He would no longer always put her first. One of these days he would feel that she was overspending.
As such, it was better that the split up sooner rather than later and she would have the capital to do something useful and become independent!
Mother Gu felt relieved after she had finished saying what she had said.
She even felt good spirited for a brief moment there. After all, she never talked about money matters with Gu Jiangxin and she never asked for anything in return from Gu Wushuang, her daughter. Finally, she ended up in this situation that she was in right now. She had a bad reputation and others called her stupid behind her back.
She had it all figured out now. Just asked for the money and clearly sorted out her emotions and fortune.
After she had said what she said, it didn’t seem all that difficult after all!
She could do it after all!
