Chapter 993: Torment (73)

The Su Family was unaware that something had also happened far away in Qin City.

Wang Meili had been going out more frequently lately.

Liu Juanhao’s belly was starting to sag a bit. Ever since she heard Wang Meili speak so maliciously to Niu’er, she hadn’t treated her the same as before.

Niu’er was also afraid of this Grandma and didn’t dare to get close to her.

Since she had nothing to do anyway, she played right into Wang Meili’s hands, allowing her to go out and have fun with Wang Meiqi and Sister Wang every day.

When Gu Haojun came home and saw she wasn’t there, he didn’t say anything, silently putting the groceries in the kitchen to prepare a meal.

The vegetables were grown by the wife of one of his comrades, who purposely gave some to him.

At this time, these greens were hard to come by and expensive.

Saving a little bit was worthwhile, especially since soon the little one would be born and it would require spending a sum of money.

"Leave the clothes there; I’ll wash them in a bit." Seeing Liu Juanhao carrying a basin to the well with her big belly, Gu Haojun came out of the kitchen and said, "You should go back and rest."

"It’s fine, just Niu’er’s clothes. I’ll rub them a couple of times and be done." Liu Juanhao smiled as she lowered her head to fetch water for washing.

Neither of them brought up Wang Meili.

If they didn’t mention her, their days would be very happy.

But not bringing her up didn’t mean this person didn’t exist.

When Wang Meili returned, she coincidentally saw Gu Haojun giving Liu Juanhao her salary, "The army has given out the mission fee for this month. Count it and see if there’s anything else we need to prepare and buy."

What mission fee?

Wang Meili had recently become addicted to gambling and had just lost several yuan today. Upon seeing the money in Liu Juanhao’s hand, her eyes glued onto it.

Before Liu Juanhao could count it, Wang Meili swiftly grabbed the money.

"I’m your mother. You get a salary and you don’t give it to your own mother, but to an outsider instead?" Wang Meili said angrily, "I’ll keep this money for you. From now on, your salary will also be handed to me."

"Prepare what? She’s already prepared so much. Buying more is just wasting."

"Give the money back to her," Gu Haojun said coldly, looking at Wang Meili angrily.

How has she become like this? More and more unreasonable.

Gu Haojun’s disappointment grew stronger.

Wang Meili had never seen him look at her like this, she was frightened, drew several yuan into her hand, and stuffed the rest of the money back to Liu Juanhao. "Fine, take it."

Liu Juanhao didn’t take it, and the money scattered on the ground.

"What do you mean by this? Can’t tolerate this grandmother, can you?" Wang Meili said angrily while picking up the money.

Recently, Liu Juanhao didn’t even bother to talk to her, let alone argue with her now?

Repeatedly told herself to stay calm, not to stoop to her level, but still got mad at her shameless behavior.

"Don’t cry, don’t cry." Gu Haojun said with compassion, wiping Liu Juanhao’s tears, while Niu’er cried seeing her mom cry.

"What are you crying for? Ruinous woman." Wang Meili shouted angrily.

Liu Juanhao pushed Gu Haojun’s hand away, took her daughter into their room, and slammed the door shut.

"Look at your wife..."

"Mom, are you really my biological mother?" Gu Haojun asked angrily. "Do you just wish for my family to fall apart, is that why you’re causing all this trouble?"

How was she causing trouble?

In which world is there a daughter-in-law who dares to show a face to her mother-in-law?

This is a rebellion.
