The child was stunned when he saw him. Terror flashed across his face as he hurriedly ran out. âI, I really didnât mean to bump your carriage. Iâm sorry, Iâm sorry. Donât be angry.â
Ah Mao was stunned for a moment. He quickly pulled him behind a haystack and asked him with a frown, âAre you from Gu Chuanzongâs family?â
The childâs face turned pale. âDonât tell my grandpa. I can apologize. I can apologize. Iâ¦â
âWait, Iâm not here to settle scores with you. Donât be nervous, donât be afraid.â A bad feeling flashed across Ah Maoâs heart. âYou call Gu Chuanzong Grandpa. Youâre his grandson. Whatâs your name?â n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
The kid took a step back and shook his head, refusing to say.
Ah Mao wanted to ask something, but a sharp voice suddenly came from the courtyard. âBian Tou, Bian Tou, where did you go? Didnât I ask you to wash your clothes? Where are you?â
Bian Tou?
Bianâ¦
The guess in Ah Maoâs heart was 70-80% confirmed, but the child took the opportunity when he was not paying attention to run away.
âSecond Aunt, Iâll go wash the clothes right away.â
âRight away? Why are you so useless? Youâre eating and drinking for free in our house. You donât even know how to do some work. I told you to wash them two hours ago. Youâre lazy, right? Youâre not allowed to eat tonight, do you hear me?â
The child lowered his head slightly and rubbed his small hands together. However, the woman sneered and pulled his arm fiercely. âWhat are you doing? You deliberately showed it to me. Do you want to say that your hand is injured?â
The child looked up and shook his head quickly.
âThen why are you crying? Smile for me.â
The child hurriedly opened his mouth and squeezed out a smile. His small hands were behind his back, and he even chuckled twice to show that he was smiling.
The woman was disgusted. âYour smile is so ugly. Hurry up and get to work. You still have to feed the pigs after washing the clothes, little bastard.â
After saying that, she pinched him hard again. The child staggered and wanted to cry, but when he thought of the womanâs words, he did not dare to. He turned around and obediently went to carry the basket of clothes.
The basket was not big, but there were many clothes inside, including womenâs clothes.
The child wanted to put it on the ground and pull it, but he was afraid that it would break the basket, so he could only take out half of the clothes and wash the rest later.
Ah Mao clenched his fists tightly. He wanted to rush to the Gu family and beat that damn woman to death.
What about Gu Chuanzong? Wasnât that child his grandson? Didnât he know that his grandson was being bullied?
Of course, Gu Chuanzong knew. He was in the room at this moment. As he helped Madam Zhao pick up the beans, he sighed.
Madam Zhao snorted. âWhy? Do you feel sorry for her? If you do, tell your second daughter-in-law not to scold her.â
âSigh.â Doctor Gu sighed again. âForget it. Itâs his bad luck. He has no parents. Even his sister is gone, and his brother-in-lawâs family doesnât want him. Since weâre raising him, we canât let him do nothing. I know that this second daughter-in-law is angry. Her Xianâer has been sold, and we donât know where she is now. In the end, our family is raising an outsider now. She definitely wonât be happy. He wonât lose anything even if she scolds him.â
âThatâs right. Isnât there a saying about people who live under someone elseâs roof? Itâs already good enough that weâre providing for him. As long as Second Daughter-in-law doesnât make a fuss, making the entire family unable to live in peace, itâs fine even if Bian Tou gets scolded.â
Old Gu nodded, shook his head, and continued to pick up the beans.
Ah Mao, who was outside, followed the child to the river. He wanted to tell him to stop washing..
