Quick Wear: Don't Follow the Plot and Feel Good

Chapter 44: Gu Manlu in Half a Lifelong Romance

Gu Manlu's life was miserable.

After her father died, the family lost an important source of income.

Her mother doesn't know how to make money, and her grandmother just wants to live a lavish life.

Even families without money still hire a nanny and are unwilling to lower their quality of life at all.

There is also a younger sister, Gu Manzhen, and a younger brother at home.

At that time, Gu Manlu had a childhood sweetheart and a fiancé.

For the sake of her family, Gu Manlu resolutely abandoned her fiancé and went into the dance industry.

And because of her, things at home gradually got better.

He has a big house to live in, but he looks down on her. From the old to the young.

In the end, he turned evil because his childhood sweetheart fell in love with Gu Manzhen, and he plotted against Zhu Hongcai to rape his own sister. He eventually fell ill and died.

"I want to live for myself and no longer care about the Gu family."

"As you wish, wait a moment." After saying that, Jiang disappeared.

Gu Manlu was 17 years old that year.

Mother Gu cried and said, "What should I do at home? Without income, how can the children go to school?"

After saying this, he glanced at the ginger.

Ginger said nothing.

Old Mrs. Gu also began to cry, "Son, you left too early, leaving me alone. How can I survive in this chaotic world?"

Seeing that Jiang still had no expression, the two old ladies couldn't continue acting.

"Manlu, you're not a child anymore. Why don't you stop studying and go out to work? Even if mom feels sorry for you, okay? Our family is really in such a difficult situation..."

Sheng Jiang interrupted her, "Then why should I go out to work? I'm a little girl, I don't have a diploma, how can I find a good job?

Besides, now that their father is gone, shouldn't you, as an adult, shoulder the responsibilities of the family and be responsible for raising your children?"

Mrs. Gu seemed to have not expected Manlu to fight back, "I...you are the eldest in the family, shouldn't you take on the responsibilities of the family?"

"When I talk about you, you bring me into this. Did I give birth to my younger brother and sister? Why should I be responsible? Or do you simply not want to work and just want me to go out and make a quick buck to ensure the same standard of living as your wives?"

After saying this, Sheng Jiang glanced at Old Mrs. Gu.

The two wives were so furious that they said, "Shut up! I'm your grandmother, you're being disobedient and unfilial!"

"Yes, yes, you are right. I was just disobedient and unfilial. What can you do to me?"

If you push me too far, I'll tell everyone how the two wives of the Gu family forced their daughter to become a dancer just to earn a comfortable life for themselves!

"Rebellious daughter!" Old Mrs. Gu was so angry that she almost died.

That won’t do. If I get so angry that I die, won’t I be blamed for it?

If I have to be angry to death, it should be someone else, like Mrs. Gu?

The more Ginger thought about it, the more appropriate it seemed.

Mrs. Gu is Gu Manlu's biological mother. Even if Gu Manlu doesn't study and goes out to find an ordinary job; if she adds Gu Manlu's job, and the two of them save a little and fire the maid, she can always support the family, right?

But she just doesn't want to show up in public.

In that case, what would you choose if your son was about to starve to death?

Sheng Jiang used his spiritual power to stabilize Mrs. Gu's heart rate and then went out. This house was really unbearable to stay in. It was suffocating everywhere.

At first, the Gu family thought that Gu Manlu was angry and went out to cool off before returning home. No one thought of looking for her.

After a few days, the Gu family began to panic.

Mrs. Gu, Mother Gu: What should we do now that there is no one to earn money in the family?

So they went to the police station to report them, but... they didn't have any money, so they just registered their name casually and sent them away.

Two months later, Mrs. Gu said to Mother Gu, "There is no money left at home."

Mother Gu immediately understood what her mother-in-law meant: she just wanted her to go out to work.

Mrs. Gu, who had been controlled by Old Madam Gu for half her life, could never bring herself to resist and had to go out to find a job.

But she had no skills and could only do some laundry work for others.

But this month's wages could not even support a day in a family that was used to spending lavishly.

Soon, Mrs. Gu became dissatisfied again, "What do you eat every day? Who eats pickles every day?

Normally you can't even drink a mouthful of meat soup, but you have to hang a picture of meat on the table, look at it, drink a mouthful of soup, and pretend that you have eaten meat?

Forget about me, an old woman, the children are still growing up."

Mother Gu didn't dare to refute, "Mom, I will find another job tomorrow."

"What's the use? After working hard for a month, the expenses are not as much as our family used to spend in a day." Old Mrs. Gu sneered.

Mother Gu didn't dare to answer.

After this happened many times, Mother Gu finally asked, "Mom, what do you want me to do? This is all I can do."

Old Mrs. Gu choked. She looked at her daughter-in-law who was becoming more and more beautiful (although she didn't know why), and wanted her to go into the sea business, but she still had her dignity and couldn't open her mouth.

Then he added, "How should I know? I just said it casually.

"So what do you mean? I've worked so hard for months to support this family. Even if I don't have any credit, I've still worked hard. You don't have to be so sarcastic every day and complain about how little I earn, right?"

"Isn't what I said the truth? Manzhen has already dropped out of school. You can't let Jiemin and the others drop out too, right? He's the son of the Gu family! He has to bring honor to the family!"

"So what do you want me to do? You tell me, and I'll do it. This is all I can do."

"How should I know?" Old Mrs. Gu still didn't speak.

"It's the same sentence again. It's the same sentence every time! Do you want me to be a dancer? To maintain your noble life?" Mother Gu was angry.

"I didn't say that. You said it all. And think about it, if Jiemin and his friends get into college and achieve great success, wouldn't that be a great honor for you?"

Gu's mother originally thought that the dance hall would no longer be used because of her age, and she was already prepared to clean the dance hall.

As soon as the manager saw her, his eyes lit up: "Ms. Gu, you have such good conditions. If you come to our ballroom to dance, you will definitely make a big splash. Would you like to consider it?"

Gu's mother was a little bit unconvinced, and then she heard the manager say, "The monthly salary is 200 yuan. If the tips are from customers, we don't cover it. But as beautiful as Miss Gu, she must earn a lot of tips."

Gu's mother was shamefully moved. She thought that her children could finally go to school and the family would no longer have to eat pickles.

That day, Gu's mother took an advance of one month's salary and went home to improve her life.

Old Mrs. Gu looked at the table full of fish and meat, held back her anger, and said nothing: Filling your stomach is more important!

The other children in the family were curious about where the money came from.

Mother Gu found an excuse and evaded the question.

Only Manzhen seemed to have guessed something, but she didn't say anything. She was still young, and when she started working in the future, she would definitely not let her mother do this.

Gu's mother is doing very well in the dance hall.

At first, some people disliked her age and ridiculed her.

But when I saw Gu's mother in person, she looked like a lotus flower emerging from water without any makeup.

Her beauty is like a lotus emerging from water, fresh and unworldly, untainted by dust.

Her skin was as delicate and smooth as petals, with a hint of pink in her whiteness, as if water could be squeezed out of it.

Her eyes were like clear lake water, bright and lively, with tenderness and agility in them.

Her smile is as warm as the spring breeze, making people feel extremely warm and comfortable.

Her figure is graceful and light as a swallow, and she exudes an elegant temperament in every move.

Such a mother of Gu made the men, who were used to seeing women in brothels, dazzled and went crazy for her, spending a lot of money to book the whole place just to win a smile from the beauty.

Gu's mother became famous throughout Shanghai. She had a famous name, "White Rose".

Gu's mother is successful in the workplace but unsuccessful at home.

After their living conditions at home improved, they have forgotten the feeling of being hungry.

Old Mrs. Gu began to dislike her daughter-in-law for being so public and embarrassing, and often mocked her.

The son also began to mock Gu's mother and looked down on her: "It's all because of you. I can't even hold my head up at school. All my classmates know that my mother is a dancer, a vixen, who seduces their fathers all day long. I've been isolated!"

Mother Gu was also very sad: "I know you blame me and hate me. But isn't it for this family? Without me working as a dancer to earn money, what will you eat and drink? And you talk about studying, but you can't even afford the tuition!"

Seeing that the children were silent, Mrs. Gu tried to smooth things over, "Forget it, let's eat."

Mother Gu was surprised to find that when did her mother-in-law become so young? She suddenly became more than ten years younger.

Well, that’s all thanks to the beauty charm of ginger.

People got married early back then.

Even though Gu Manlu is only 17 years old, her mother is only about 35 years old, and Mrs. Gu is only in her early 50s.

Looking at the young Mrs. Gu now and the old lady who is about 30 years old, Mother Gu seemed to be thinking about something.

One day, Gu's mother sent a little girl to ask Old Lady Gu to take her home.

"Why doesn't she come back herself?"

"Oh, White Rose was drunk and couldn't walk. That's why they sent me back," the little girl replied crisply.

Mrs. Gu said nothing more and followed the little girl to the dance hall.

As a result, the manager took a liking to him at once.

I saw: her hands were as soft as catkins, her skin was as white as cream, her neck was as smooth as a cicada, her teeth were as white as a gourd, her forehead was as fine as a cicada's, her eyebrows were as beautiful as moth's, she smiled sweetly, and her eyes were longing.

Its form is as graceful as a startled swan, as gentle as a flying dragon, as glorious as an autumn chrysanthemum, as flourishing as a spring pine. It is like a light cloud covering the moon, or drifting like snowflakes blown by a wind.

Manager: I thought white roses were eye-catching, but it turns out she's a delight to behold. She doesn't look 50 at all; she truly seems like someone blessed by God.

He immediately stepped forward and said, "Miss, are you looking for White Rose?"

Old Mrs. Gu was already old, and was still being called a girl, so she blushed immediately.

Still very happy, I replied, "Yes, I'm here to take my daughter-in-law home."

The manager pretended to be surprised, "Oh, you look so young, how come you already have a daughter-in-law? I really can't tell."

Old Mrs. Gu actually found that she had become much younger, but she didn't think much about it.

However, the manager's praise made Mrs. Gu so happy that she didn't know which way was which.

However, the manager missed Mrs. Gu more and more, and also found an opportunity to confess his feelings to her.

And then... I was rejected!

Old Mrs. Gu is still a traditional woman from the old society at heart. Even though her husband has been dead for more than ten years, she has never thought of remarrying.

The manager decided to make matters worse and consult with Gu's mother about countermeasures.

Mother Gu had long since had enough of Old Lady Gu's usual sarcasm: "You use the money I earn to maintain your dignity, and you still think my money is dirty. Then don't blame me for dragging you into this."

Even if we fall into the dust, we are all together, so no one should look down on anyone else!

Gu's mother's attitude towards herself as a dancer is completely different from her attitude towards Gu Manlu as a dancer in her previous life.
