605 It all depends on whether you are willing or not

A few days later, Ge Chunru recovered from her illness.

Mdm Niu’s body was also almost fully recovered.

During the period when Ge Chunru was sick, Ge Chunyi had been buying food from the restaurants outside.

Ge Chunru was not used to the fact that her only servant girl had been taken away by those from the gambling house.

Ge Chunru looked at Mdm Niu, and ordered her to buy food.

“Go buy some groceries and come back to cook today.”

If it was in the past, even if Mdm Niu was unhappy, she would still endure it.

After all, at that time, Ge Chunru had money and owned a shop.

Now, she only had a few dozen taels of silver left.

Naturally, she would not tolerate it anymore.

She did not confront Ge Chunru directly, but her eyes turned red.

“My poor child, you died a terrible death

“Mother missed you so much, sob sob…”

Then, she ran back to her room, crying, leaving Ge Chunru with an ugly face.

Ge Chunyi saw this and said, “Sister, Qiuhua just lost her child. She is very sad. I will have to bother you to cook the next few days.

“I’ll let her do it when she recovers.”

Seeing that Ge Chunru was about to speak, he immediately said, “After all, Ge Chunying intentionally killed the child. It’s normal for Qiuhua to not be able to accept it.”

Ge Chunru felt a little guilty about this.

After all, her sister was the one who had killed the child.

Hence, she could only nod and say, “Alright, I’ll do it in the next few days.”

She was forced to go out to the poorly-shelved market and buy groceries with great disdain.

Before she was with Xiao Yuanshi, Ge Chunru had a hard time and knew how to do all the housework.

Therefore, even though she hadn’t cooked for many years and was bad at first, she gradually got used to it after a few days.

It was just that, after being the wife of a government official for so many years, she had always been served by others.

Now that she had to cook and do housework, she could not stand it.

However, once Mdm Niu was asked to do something, she would cry and hide, as if she had suffered a great grievance.

When it was time to eat, she would come out on her own.

Her appetite was even bigger than her brother’s.

Ge Chunru was furious.

She couldn’t take it anymore and wanted Ge Chunyi to drive Mdm Niu away.

However, before she could do so, Ge Chunyi, under the instigation of Mdm Niu, went to the embroidery shop to accept a job offer.

“Sister, we don’t have any income now, so we can only rely on you to support the family.

“My legs have been hurting recently. When my legs are better, I’ll take the initiative to go out and work so that you and Qiuhua can live a good life.”

Originally, Ge Chunru was not willing, but after Ge Chunyi coaxed her with a series of nice words, she accepted the job.

In the past, embroidery was just a pleasure.

When she was still a general’s wife, she did not lack money, so Ge Chunru invited an embroiderer from the capital’s big embroidery shop to teach her and her sister embroidery.

Therefore, although her embroidery skills were not as good as those of the embroidery ladies in the capital, she was still considered outstanding in Northern City.

Therefore, Ge Chunru woke up every day, washed up, made breakfast, and then went to buy vegetables.

She did her embroidery until lunchtime and then went to cook.

After the lunch break, she began to do embroidery and make dinner.

At night, Ge Chunyi even coaxed her to light up the lamps and do embroidery work.

After a few days, Ge Chunru couldn’t stand it anymore.

She was used to living with luxury all these years.

Even if she was driven out, she still had money with her and a servant girl to serve her.

These days were simply too painful for her.

Thus, she did not want to do it.

No matter how Ge Chunyi coaxed her, she did not go to do embroidery after breakfast the next day.

Instead, she went to sleep.

She slept a little too late and didn’t get up to make lunch.

Ge Chunyi could only go outside to buy them.

Ge Chunru didn’t cook at night and insisted on Mdm Niu doing it.

For the first two days, Ge Chunyi and Mdm Niu had tolerated it.

However, on the third day, Ge Chunru not only stopped doing embroidery work but also asked Mdm Niu to prepare breakfast.

Mdm Niu’s patience had also reached its limit.

...

“It seems that your sister is a b*tch. It’s useless to coax her.”

She could tell that Ge Chunru was not used to living a hard life and only wanted to be served all day.

At the beginning, they could still coax her, but now it was completely useless.

“Then, what do you think we should do?” Ge Chunyi was also very annoyed.

Every day, he would approach his sister and coax her, but after she heard his good words, she didn’t work hard anymore.

This made his patience run out.

Mdm Niu narrowed her eyes.

“Kid-glove methods haven’t worked, it’s time to get tough.”

“How tough?” Ge Chunyi asked.

Mdm Niu rolled up her sleeves. “I’ll deal with her. I guarantee that she’ll work obediently.”

“It all depends on whether you are willing or not,” she looked at Ge Chunyi and smiled.

...

“We are husband and wife now. Go ahead and do it,” Ge Chunyi replied nonchalantly.

Mdm Niu nodded.

“You don’t need to help when the time comes. Just watch from the side.”

She was also giving them an alternative way out.

If Ge Chunru suddenly turned the tables, Ge Chunyi could still go and coax her.

After the two finished their discussion, Ge Chunyi stayed in the room while Mdm Niu went to Ge Chunru’s room and kicked the door open.

Ge Chunru, who was sleeping, was shocked when she heard the voice.

“Mdm Niu, are you crazy? You actually dared to kick my door.”

Mdm Niu quickly walked forward, grabbed Ge Chunru’s hair, and dragged her off the bed.

Ge Chunru’s scalp was in pain, and she could not help but cry out.

Mdm Niu rudely gave her two more slaps.

“Ge Chunru, I won’t tolerate you anymore. Don’t be so ungrateful.

“You want me to serve you all day. Why are you so shameless?

“From today on, you’ll be in charge of all the breakfast, lunch, and dinner. In your spare time, you’ll do embroidery for me.”

Ge Chunru was completely stunned by Mdm Niu’s attack.

When she came back to her senses, she looked up in disbelief.

“What did you say? You actually dare to treat me like this?”

“You’re just a cheap woman who’s been divorced and returned to your maternal family. Why wouldn’t I dare to treat you like this?” Mdm Niu sneered.

“Without the support of your family, will you have a good life as a woman?

“There are many ruffians in Northern City who like people like you the most. If you don’t believe me, you can go out and try.”

Her words made Ge Chunru’s face turn pale. “Mdm Niu, don’t go too far.”

She really didn’t dare to go out and live alone.

After all, she was a weak woman.

Mdm Niu also seized on this point.

“Ge Chunru, listen up. Do as I say, or I’ll make sure you suffer,” she said with a fierce look on her face.

Then she pulled Ge Chunru’s hair and dragged her to the kitchen.

Mdm Niu was once a well-known fierce woman in the village, and none of the women in the village could win her in it.

Not to mention Ge Chunru, who had been pampered and made weak by Xiao Yuanshi.

Ge Chunru’s resistance was useless.

She shouted for Ge Chunyi, but her brother did not come out.

After that, she was beaten up by Mdm Niu, and had no choice but to make breakfast.

After breakfast was ready, Mdm Niu asked Ge Chunyi to come out and eat.

Ge Chunyi directly ignored Ge Chunru’s embarrassing appearance and her tearful cry for help.

After eating, he said that he was going out to find work and slipped away.

Ge Chunru couldn’t help but feel cold. How could this be?

Wasn’t he fine a few days ago? Why did her brother’s attitude towards her suddenly become so cold?
