Zhou Ping really did not feel like cooking. She was weak after starving all day and it was so hot.
“My... my foot doesn’t feel too good...”
“Go and cook!” Gu Yundong bellowed in rage.
Zhou Ping jumped with fright. She took one look at Gu Yundong’s terrifying expression and reluctantly went to the kitchen to cook.
Gu Yundong stared at the kitchen for a long while. He knew that this woman must be carefully dealt with in the near future, or she would make trouble again.
He went to the room to speak to Gu Jinlin.
That night, Mo Beihan brought Gu Qingyao and the two children back. The two children ate, then washed up and went to sleep.
Before she slept, Gu Jinlin ca to Gu Qingyao’s room.
“Third Brother!”
Gu Jinlin sat by her bed and stroked Gu Qingyao’s hair. “You’ve suffered an injustice today. Don’t take it to heart. Third Brother will protect you.”
Gu Qingyao smiled briefly. “It’s not a big deal that Third Aunt dislikes . At least she gets along well with all of you, right? It’s been more than ten years. In the future, I will just avoid her. It’s not good for your family to quarrel over a small matter like that.
“Third Brother, I’m going ho and later on, I’ll get married. Third Aunt is not related to by blood. Look at . I’m a village girl, but I’ve been raised to be so delicate! Many people can’t stand it. I’ll interact with her less. It’s alright as long as you and Third Uncle continue to dote on ! Don’t quarrel too badly!”
Gu Jinlin smiled. “Little girl, we’ve worried you. Don’t worry, Third Brother knows what to do.
“But this ti, Mother has really gone too far. We’re all part of the family and we need to get along in the future. My father is not going to let her have her way. I also think my mother cannot be allowed to carry on like that. So starting from today, you don’t have to do anything in this house. You only have to teach Little Seven and Little Eight to write, wash your own clothes, and tidy up your own room. You don’t have to bother with anything else.
“If you want to go out and play, go ahead. I know you have money. If you like, you can go to the state-run restaurant to eat, or to the departnt store to shop. There’s no need to be hard on yourself. It doesn’t matter if you don’t co ho during the day. But you must co ho punctually at night. Do you understand?”
Gu Qingyao looked at Gu Jinlin and happily flew into his arms. “Brother, you’re so nice to !”
Gu Jinlin laughed. “I’m your brother; of course, I should be nice to you. Brother and Third Uncle have noticed how hard you’ve worked for this household recently. My mother is muddle-headed; don’t bother to quibble with her. As long as your third uncle and I are around you, she won’t dare to go too far.
“You don’t need to bother about what she thinks you should do. This is your Third Uncle’s house. You should just relax and stay here for a while and have a good ti. When the autumn harvest at ho is over, you can go back.
“Actually, if you want to stay until the end of the year and go back with us during the new year, that’s fine too. Brother welcos you!”
“Hee...” Gu Qingyao chuckled. “Thank you, Third Brother!”
Gu Jinlin said a few more words to her before going to bed.
Gu Qingyao had been feeling slightly disgruntled, but Gu Jinlin’s words had dispelled it.
In the end, she did not interact much with Zhou Ping. She was only her third aunt and did not affect her much.
Even if she was angry, her anger had been dispelled by her third uncle and third brother’s love. There was no need to hold a grudge.
Sure enough, from the next day onwards, Zhou Ping did everything in the house.
Her leg was better. It was true that she had been badly injured, but her bone was unhard. It just hurt whenever it was touched. But it was better after she had applied dication to it over the past month.
