Chapter 361: Uncle-in-law Arrives

The New Year’s Eve dinner, although Gu Lingling made it very sumptuous, was somewhat oppressive due to the matter of Gu Chunxia.

"The food my sister made is really delicious." Zhao Xuefei said with a smile.

This was the best New Year’s Eve meal he had ever had, "Mom, don’t cry anymore. I’ll definitely work hard in the future to let you and Dad live a good life."

"Okay, Mom is waiting." Gu Chunxia said while eating, tears once again falling into the bowl.

In the middle of the night, the door of the Gu Family was knocked.

"Sounds like my dad’s voice." Zhao Jingmiao, who was sleeping with Gu Lingling, climbed up from the kang. "My dad is here."

Gu Lingling, who had been worried all day, finally felt half relieved.

Zhao JianShe being able to rush over so late, at least showed he still cared about Gu Chunxia and her children.

As for what he said about his own family, that would depend on how he chose to speak.

Gu Chunxia was lying on Old Sir Gu’s kang. As soon as Zhao JianShe entered, under the dim light, he saw his wife with a cast on her arm and bruises on her face, "I’m sorry, I’m late."

He had started off early from the family he was working for, hoping to return home early on New Year’s Eve for a reunion dinner.

But upon returning home, he didn’t see his wife and children at all.

As soon as Zhao JianShe opened his mouth to ask, the whole family, including his brother’s two sons, began to criticize his wife and children’s various misdeeds.

Stealing money?

Given Gu Chunxia’s disposition, could she steal money from Old Mrs. Zhao’s room?

Even if she had money, she wouldn’t know how to spend it properly, right?

And secretly making food for his son, after all these years, doesn’t he know what Gu Chunxia is like?

Saying these things were done by his lazy sister-in-law seems more likely.

"Such a wife, you should divorce her immediately." Old Mrs. Zhao wailed from the kang, "She dared to run away? Since she ran away, she should never come back. Our Old Zhao Family does not have such daughters-in-law."

"That’s right, I’m not saying you, brother, but a wife like this shouldn’t be kept. Kick her out of the Zhao Family quickly." Lao Er Zhao Jianfeng said, "Brother, I’m telling you, such a wife should be taught a lesson every three days, look at how she’s angered Mom."

Every three days?

If Zhao Jianfeng dared to lay a finger on Hu Cuilan, Zhao JianShe wouldn’t give in.

He’s so submissive like a cat in front of his lazy wife, yet here he is inciting Zhao JianShe to hit his wife?

What a wonderful person his wife is.

Though Zhao JianShe is simple-minded, he isn’t foolish. Divorcing Gu Chunhai would mean he could never find another such good woman again, and he also has two children.

His mind isn’t warped; his mother and brother seem eager to see him struggling.

"Mom, this is definitely not done by Chunxia. After all these years in our family, don’t you know her nature?" Zhang JianShe said, "I will not divorce my wife and regarding the stealing money issue, whoever did it knows it in their heart."

"You ungrateful son who forgets his mother after getting a wife." Surprised that her son who never talked back suddenly says this, Mrs. Zhao was infuriated, grabbing the broom used to sweep the kang, she started hitting Zhao JianShe.

Zhao JianShe didn’t dodge, and the broom coincidentally landed on his forehead.

The room suddenly fell silent.

"Oh my, I can’t live anymore. How did I give birth to such a worthless thing? If I knew you would be like this, I should’ve drowned you in the chamber pot when you were born."

After just a few seconds of silence, Old Mrs. Zhao continued to wail.

"I’m going to find your sister-in-law and children. Mom, please take care of things here." Zhao JianShe said to Zhao Jianfeng, left without even having breakfast and headed out again.
