The pretty widow is addicted to money, and the little wolfdog asks for a hug

Only Gu Heng, who was sitting under the eaves, still looked dazed and had no reaction to the scene before him.

"Mother, brother, sister, I...I can't live anymore! Woo woo..." Gu Qinghuai put down the big bag and pinched his thigh hard.

She was very strong to begin with, and she used a lot of strength in this pinch. The pain was so severe that tears immediately welled up in her eyes. Then, her knees went weak and she fell to her knees on the ground.

The situation of my mother's family is clear at a glance.

The three gray earthen brick houses had several large cracks in the walls and looked shaky.

The thatch on the roof was too old, with several corrosive holes. If it snowed or rained, it would definitely rain heavily outside and lightly inside.

The earthen courtyard wall had collapsed in several places, like the missing teeth of an eighty-year-old woman, yellow and rotten.

The whole courtyard was in a dilapidated state.

The original owner's mother, elder brother, father and younger sister were all skin and bones, with pale faces.

Hair appears dry and grey due to lack of nutrition.

The clothes he was wearing were patched up and had turned white from washing, with the stitches showing.

Her parents' family was extremely poor, and she had no idea whether they would take in her and Liu Ya, two burdens. No, it should be three burdens, and there was one in her belly. Gu Qinghuai had no idea.

A daughter who is married off is like water spilled. It was unlucky for her to be a widow at a young age. Then she ran back to her parents' home, making it impossible for her family to hold their heads up in the village and being inferior to them everywhere.

Moreover, the Zhou family is large and powerful, and they will definitely come to cause trouble. If her parents take them in, they will have to face the pressure from the Zhou family and the people in the same village. Even if they are willing, their strength may not allow it.

No matter what, Gu Qinghuai wanted to test the character of this family.

If they took her in regardless of the consequences when they were also in a difficult situation, then the original owner's family would be her closest family in this life.

If they were unwilling, Gu Qinghuai would have no complaints and would take Liu Ya into hiding in the mountains, and the Gu family would only treat them as relatives.

Zhou Liuya also imitated her second sister-in-law, knelt down, and tears fell down.

She was a tiny person, already extremely thin, with small and tattered clothes, looking even worse than a beggar on the street. Now she was kneeling and crying, making people feel extremely sad.

Zhao Ying threw the hoe to the ground and rushed over, "Xiao Huai, you kid! Hurry up...hurry up and get up! I'm your mother, why are you kneeling?!"

Isn't it natural for a child to go home to his mother if he is wronged outside?

Although you should kneel to heaven, earth, and your parents, if you kneel to beg for shelter, that would be too inappropriate!

Gu Qingshan's eyes were slightly red, he turned around and looked around, then said to Zhao Ying: "Mother, let Third Sister come in and talk."

"Yes, yes, let's go inside and talk," Zhao Ying wiped her tears and turned around to help Gu Qinghuai carry the bag.

"Mother, let me do it," Gu Qinghuai stretched out his hand to stop Zhao Ying and put the big bag on his right shoulder.

The big bag is empty for now, but it will be filled up when it is carried into the house later. This is to make the things in the space visible so that my mother won't find out.

Zhao Ying felt relieved when she saw her daughter carrying the thing easily, "Come on, let's go inside and talk."

After saying that, he took Gu Qinghuai's hand, turned to look at Zhou Liuya, and also took her hand.

Zhou Liuya’s eyes suddenly widened and her little body trembled in shock.

The second sister-in-law's mother actually pulled her hand! She didn't even give her a cold look!

Her eyes are so gentle! It seems like she feels sorry for her!

The look she didn’t get from her own mother, she got from someone else’s mother!!

It turns out this is what it feels like to have a mother’s love.

Zhou Liuya felt dizzy, but was led forward by this rough yet warm big hand.

Gu Qingmiao ran to the other side and pulled up Gu Qinghuai's right hand.

Gu Qinghuai smiled and wrapped her little hand in his palm.

Gu Qingmiao's face was red, and her eyes were shining with shyness and excitement.

When passing by his foolish father, Gu Qinghuai called out "Dad" with tears in his eyes, and then followed his mother into the house.

Gu Heng still didn't react.

His empty and blank eyes did not notice that his third daughter was bullied and returned to her parents' home crying.

If it were in the past, he would have picked up his carrying pole and rushed out to settle the score.

When it comes to protecting one's own people, only Gu Qinghuai's grandmother can compare with him.

As long as it is his child, everything is good and everything is appropriate. Outsiders cannot touch or say anything.

Gu Qingshan's spine was broken and he was paralyzed from the waist down, so he could only lie on a wooden board.

At this time, he supported himself on the ground with both hands and slid the wooden board into the main room.

Four wooden wheels were installed under the board to facilitate his "walking".

Gu Qingmiao let go of his third sister's hand and ran over to help him push the wheel from behind.

The group sat down in the dilapidated main room.

"Xiaohuai, what's going on? Talk to your mother," Zhao Ying held Gu Qinghuai's hand, her face full of worry.

My daughter has been married to the Zhou family for a year and has never returned to her parents' home.

She knew that her daughter was definitely not liked by her in-laws. She had her son-in-law to protect her before, but now her son-in-law has been gone for just over a month, and the Zhou family can no longer hide it?

It's also her fault. As a mother, she is too weak and can't make her daughter stand up straight.

Gu Qinghuai wiped her tears and sobbed, "My parents-in-law tortured me! They didn't treat me as a human being! After Ah Yin died, she was worried about me and Liu Ya, and she came to my parents-in-law in her dreams every night, asking them to let us go.

My parents-in-law were afraid of Ah Yin's revenge, so they wrote a letter of release. But when I was about to leave the Zhou family, my parents-in-law and my eldest uncle were so greedy that they sold me to Wu Guizi from Qingpo Village.

That Wu Kuizi is over fifty years old, old and ugly, about the same age as my grandfather, and he is a pervert who likes to beat his wives. He has beaten three wives to death... Wuwu... Mother, I have no way to live!"

“This is really too much!” Gu Qingshan’s face turned pale and he slammed the wooden board under him.

Zhao Ying was so angry that her lips trembled, and her thin cheeks were as pale as paper, "This is really... really..."

"Third sister, now that you're back, don't go back. The Zhou family is so bad!" Gu Qingmiao stood behind Zhao Ying, pinching the back of her mother's collar from time to time, her young face full of anger.

Reminded by her little girl's voice, Zhao Ying looked panicked, "Xiao Huai, how...how did you get back?"

Seeing Zhao Ying's worry, Gu Qinghuai said, "Liu Ya and I escaped in the middle of the night. Don't worry, mother. I have the letter written by Zhou Genchang to release his daughter-in-law and sever the relationship, as well as the transaction certificate between Zhou Genchang and Wu Quezi. A widow cannot remarry during the period of mourning for her husband. Zhou Genchang and his men are also afraid that I will go to the government office to make trouble. After all, the fourth and fifth sons of the Zhou family are going to take the imperial examinations."

Zhao Ying breathed a sigh of relief.

“Even if we are right, the Zhou family will never give up. They are numerous and powerful, and they are very domineering,” Gu Qingshan said in a deep voice.

Gu Qinghuai's eyes were red, tears were falling like beads from a string, he said sadly: "Mother, brother, Liu Ya and I should run away, I can't come back and cause trouble for you. The family is in this state, I really have no face..."

As he spoke, he stood up.

“Where can you escape to? Sit still!” Gu Qingshan raised his voice unconsciously because of his anxiety.

Although he was paralyzed, his eyes were firm and his backbone as a man never bent down.
