Chapter 362 I'll chop you up, you bastard! All you know how to do is bully women!
Sister-in-law Gu sobbed and leaned against Lin Chang'er's chest for a long, long time, as if she wanted to cry out all the grievances of the first half of her life before she would have the courage to continue.
Lin Chang'er didn't say anything more, but patted her back repeatedly to comfort her, letting her know that she was not alone and that she had family supporting her.
After an unknown amount of time, Sister-in-law Gu finally calmed down.
She wiped away her tears, raised her head, and said, "Chang'er, your eldest brother was originally going to the city to buy cattle when he encountered me trying to commit suicide on the way. He reached out and pulled me back."
"Xu Daolai took advantage of me and bought me with the money he had saved for buying cattle. My mother never mistreated me because of this."
“In the past few years, I have been busy with your older brother every day. Even if I don’t know what I’m busy with, I dare not let myself rest. It’s as if if I rest, I will be letting down your older brother and my mother.”
After pausing for a moment, she continued, "The thing I feel most sorry for is that my broken body can't continue his bloodline."
Holding Lin Chang'er's hand, he said, "Chang'er, I've always been afraid that if I tell this, your mother and brother will abandon me."
"I have never dared to mention it, let alone think about it. I have kept this secret hidden in my heart. Many times, I have woken up in the dead of night."
"It's as if we've never escaped that hellhole, and we feel like we're not good people, that we deceived your older brother and mother. Sometimes I hate myself for not meeting your older brother sooner. Although he has a physical disability, he is truly a person we can entrust our lives to."
“You’re right. The future is far more important than the past. Instead of dwelling on the past, we should look forward. Your older brother treats me sincerely, so I should reciprocate by telling him the truth and letting him make his own choice.”
Lin Chang'er patted her back, "Sister-in-law, this matter of the child may not be a dead end. The old doctor is very skilled. I'll ask her to take a look at you tomorrow."
"If she can't be cured, we can find other doctors. Qingfeng has connections in the capital."
“You and your elder brother are still young, so we can treat him slowly. Your elder brother is honest and kind, but he's not stupid either. You saw his reaction today. He has you in his heart and eyes. You are willing to put yourself in his shoes. There will definitely be regrets, but he will definitely be able to understand you.”
Sister-in-law Gu nodded, picked up the now-cold steamed bun and took a big bite. "I'll go find him in a bit."
Lin Chang'er also took a bite of her steamed bun, "Okay, then you'd better hurry up, I'm waiting for you to help me cook special meals for the little goldfish!"
Sister-in-law Gu smiled and said, "Okay, I'll talk to your brother about it in a bit. That's the gist of it. If you can't get over it and can't accept it, I'll pack my bags and leave. You can rent me a small shop in town later. I can do business in the front and live in the back. I'll be with you for the rest of my life."
Lin Chang'er laughed heartily, knowing that she was joking. Now that she could joke, she felt relieved.
She didn't know what Sister-in-law Gu had said to Brother Gu, and she hadn't eavesdropped, much less gossip.
Later, Aunt Gu didn't come to help; it was Aunt Gu who came to help her wrap meatballs for the little goldfish.
Aunt Gu's eyes were red, clearly she had been crying, but the smile on her face was not forced.
Lin Chang'er then realized that Aunt Gu still cared for Sister-in-law Gu, and Brother Gu was no exception.
Lin Chang'er was chopping minced meat on the cutting board with a loud bang, and Aunt Gu, who was originally tending the fire by the stove, suddenly got up, took the knife from her hand, and started chopping vigorously with a loud bang.
He chopped while cursing, "I'll chop you into a thousand pieces, all you know how to do is bully women..."
Lin Chang'er chuckled inwardly but didn't show it on her face. Instead, she cheered from the side, "Yes, Mother, chop it like this, right side, flip it over on the right side, yes, yes, chopping it like this will make it chewy."
"Okay, Mother will listen to you." Aunt Gu used to be sickly, but after half a year of recuperation, she can now chop a kitchen knife so hard that it leaves a shadow, and she doesn't even utter a sound.
When it comes to recuperation, it's really just dietary supplements. When Lin Chang'er is in the mood, she'll make some medicinal meals for her family members that are appropriate for their symptoms. As for taking medicine, that's not the case.
To put it bluntly, most of the diseases in the past were caused by malnutrition and hunger.
Now that we have more money, better food, and better physical condition, our immunity has naturally improved. Even a sickly beauty like Xi Shi can uproot a willow tree.
The task of chopping the meat filling was handed over to Aunt Gu, while Lin Chang'er went to make bone broth herself, originally intending to make three-delicacy meatballs for the child.
Thinking that seafood is high in purines and that it's a time when children are growing, I decided to make bone broth instead.
After chopping the meat for a while, Aunt Gu seemed to have finally calmed down, and then turned to talk to Lin Chang'er.
The young woman's face was full of dissatisfaction. "Chang'er, we must not let that big-mouthed Guo Caishi get away with this."
"They used to bully your eldest brother and second sister-in-law, and even their son bullied our Xiaoman. They used to whisper behind our backs that our Xiaoman was a spineless coward who walked with a limp."
"Now that we can't bully Xiaoman anymore, we've turned to bullying Xiaochuan. Guo Tian is certainly working hard, but what about this son? He was born but not taught. What kind of son is he?"
“The mother is not acting like a mother, and the son is not acting like a son. It’s fortunate that the eldest son’s wife is safe and sound this time. Otherwise, I would risk my life to demand justice from them.”
"That won't do," Lin Chang'er pouted. "If anyone's going to risk their life, it should be us younger ones, not Mother!"
"But, Mother, I didn't even remember those two things until you mentioned them."
He slapped his forehead. "Look at my memory! Right, after I finished feeding the goldfish, I went to clean them up."
Aunt Gu sighed again and said, "It's because I'm too anxious. You're always so busy, it's like you're stepping on sparks. There are so many things to do, how can you possibly do everything perfectly?"
After pausing for a moment, he said, "Anyway, Ah Da has already detained them, and it's no use for your Uncle Hai to plead for them. Just lock them up for one night, and you can deal with them when you have time."
Lin Chang'er agreed verbally, but that wasn't what she really thought.
Detaining someone is, after all, a form of vigilante justice.
Although it was under Wu Qingfeng's jurisdiction, he could cover for him.
But there are still quite a few guests here!
The world is bustling, all come for the benefit, and the world is bustling, all go for the benefit.
It wasn't that she was petty; rather, she wanted to avoid leaving any evidence against herself.
It's good for her, for Wu Qingfeng, and for everyone in their camp.
As she was pondering, Aunt Gu had already chopped the filling. "Chang'er, you mix the seasonings. Yours tastes good. I'll go knead the dough."
The outer skin of the meatballs was made from a mixture of sweet potato flour and wheat flour. This food was something she brought from her previous life, but she was still inferior in kneading dough.
Lin Chang'er replied, "Okay!" The bone broth continued to simmer.
Just then, Gu Xiaoman led Zhou Yi in, and as soon as they entered, she took a deep breath and exclaimed with delight, "It smells so good! Third Aunt, Grandma, what are you doing?"
Zhou Yi imitated him, tilting his little head back, his big eyes narrowed into slits, and sniffing the air with his delicate nose, his face full of delight, "It smells so good! Little Bao is drooling!"
