Ch 62: Gu Sisi’s Morals Are So Upright?
Along the way, Huo Jiajia remained silent, only beginning to inquire about the matter’s process upon arriving at their destination.
Upon learning the cause and effect, Huo Jiajia was so angry she almost couldn’t breathe.
“Brother-in-law, didn’t I tell you? You must discuss this matter properly with Mingyue. Why did you hit him the moment you entered? And in front of the Gu Family members? You messed things up, do you know that?”
Only now did Huo Jiajia realize she was the true fool. Before acting, she didn’t even find out what kind of person Shen Fuzhu was. If Shen Fuzhu had been even slightly reliable, this matter would have been settled long ago.
If her father and mother said a few good words in front of their daughter, and Gu Huilan valued Shen Mingyue so much, helping them secure a few orders wouldn’t be a small matter.
But who could have imagined that Shen Fuzhu was such an idiot, thinking that Shen Mingyue was a pitiful little thing he could manipulate? He didn’t even consider who her husband was now.
“I am her father. What’s wrong with me hitting her? The Gu Family is too much. How can they treat their in-laws like this? They had their guard throw me out of the restaurant. I haven’t even had a bite to eat yet. Jiajia, can you get your uncle-in-law some food?”
Shen Fuzhu’s stomach was empty, and he couldn’t help but flatteringly plead.
Father Huo, seeing this scene, was so angry he couldn’t even hold his teacup steadily. He turned and went into the bedroom, not wanting to even take another look.
Huo Jiajia felt as if she had eaten something awful. She casually got Shen Fuzhu some food. Thinking of Gu Huilan’s threat, she immediately deflated like a punctured balloon.
She originally wanted to continue urging Shen Fuzhu to change his ways and apologize properly to Shen Mingyue, perhaps the matter could still be resolved.
But looking at their relationship, Shen Mingyue probably wouldn’t recognize this father. If Shen Fuzhu caused more trouble, Gu Huilan would definitely not let them off easily. For a moment, Huo Jiajia was also conflicted.
She had originally planned to consider Shen Fuzhu’s future arrangements for a day or two, but in the afternoon, while they were resting in the room, Shen Fuzhu tried to steal things from the cabinet and was caught red-handed by Father Huo.
Both father and daughter were furious. They immediately bought Shen Fuzhu a train ticket and sent him to the train station.
Shen Fuzhu refused. He came because the Huo Family asked him to, and the ticket was bought by the Huo Family. He saw that his cheap daughter was now rich and powerful.
Her clothes were dazzling, her complexion clearly improved, and she was wearing jewelry. She was obviously a rich person.
Although he didn’t accomplish his main goal this time, he could at least get some benefits from his daughter before leaving. He had only met Shen Mingyue once, yet the Huo family wanted to send him back, which he couldn’t accept.
“I’m not leaving. I’m going to find my daughter. Her husband is so rich, she can’t ignore her family. Unless you give me money, I won’t leave empty-handed. Otherwise, I’ll be a beggar.”
Wow, Huo Jiajia and her father looked at each other. It’s over. They had a stubborn problem stuck to them, and they couldn’t get rid of it.
Huo Jiajia slumped her face and couldn’t help but ask: “How much money do you want?”
Shen Fuzhu’s eyes widened, and he immediately asked for a large sum.
“No less than one thousand. Give me one thousand yuan, and I’ll go back by car.”
Father Huo was so angry he almost gave him a severe lecture. Did they think they were the richest people? They kept asking for a thousand yuan. Even if they had it, they wouldn’t give that much money to a fool.
“Are you dreaming? Where would we get a thousand yuan? How much money do you earn from farming a year? This is nonsense!”
Shen Fuzhu was thick-skinned and simply gave up.
“If you don’t give it, then I’ll stay here. I’m not leaving.”
Huo Jiajia clenched her fists. She originally wanted to find a helper but found a terrible teammate, and now they were being manipulated.
Finally, the father and daughter discussed it and gave Shen Fuzhu one hundred yuan to get rid of him.
Although Shen Fuzhu didn’t get an apology from his daughter, looking at the one hundred yuan in his hand, he laughed so hard his teeth almost flew out.
The thousand yuan he asked for earlier was just a random number. He couldn’t get that much money, one hundred yuan was enough. It would last him a long time.
Until Shen Fuzhu got on the bus, he didn’t think about Wang Cuie at all. He didn’t care about her life or death, or whether she had a place to stay.
The Huo family father and daughter returned home with dark faces, saying nothing to each other along the way. What kind of mess was this? They lost money and reputation, a complete failure.
Back home, they blamed each other for their actions, neither wanting to take responsibility.
At this time, Wang Cuie had already arrived at the Gu Family. When she saw the two-story building in front of her, her eyes began to sparkle.
She never imagined that one day her daughter could live such a good life. This house is like a palace. The Gu Family is so rich.
Shen Mingyue took her mother to the room and found a well-fitting outfit for her to change into. Wang Cuie was surprised by the new clothes.
“Mingyue, such nice clothes for me are a waste. I’ll wear the old one. Don’t waste your money.”
As soon as Wang Cuie finished speaking, she regretted it. Wearing new clothes meant taking advantage of her daughter, but wearing old clothes would shame her daughter. No matter what she did, it wasn’t right.
“Why is it a waste? Mom, it wasn’t easy for you to raise me. Take what I give you. I’m doing very well here, I even opened a clothing store and earn a lot of money every day. You don’t have to save money for me.”
Hearing her daughter say this, Wang Cuie was extremely excited. She never expected her daughter to be so successful.
“I thought you would suffer in the city, but you’re better than I imagined. I was too unconfident in you. Now that you’re doing well, Mother is happy.”
Wang Cuie cared for Shen Mingyue here without mentioning Shen Fuzhu at all. In a way, this couple was quite similar.
They came together, but they were separated in less than a day. One of them even went home.
At this time, Zhou Xiaofei had found Gu Sisi and talked about Shen Mingyue’s mother.
“Sisi, what do you think? If others knew our family had such an in-law, they would definitely laugh at us. I don’t know how long Second Sister-in-law’s mother will stay at our house.”
Zhou Xiaofei said this deliberately to cause negative emotions in Gu Sisi, so that Gu Sisi would make things difficult for Wang Cuie.
But to her surprise, Gu Sisi did not speak according to her expectations.
“Let her stay as long as she wants. Don’t say that. Look how pitiful Shen Mingyue’s mother is. Her husband dared to hit her in front of so many of us. I don’t know what kind of life she will have when she goes back. Just thinking about it is sad.”
Gu Sisi is usually busy with things, but she is not malicious at heart. Sometimes she would rescue injured cats and dogs she encountered on the street. She is quite kind-hearted.
