Chapter 457 - 449: Curse (3)

Gu’er warned Wei Hong.

"I-I didn’t say it on purpose, why are you being so fierce? Is that any way to talk to your sister-in-law?"

Wei Hong was indignant.

Gu’er glanced at her, then opened the door. Just as Wei Hong was about to enter, Gu’er grabbed her and said, "If you had said that on purpose, I would have slapped you already. You’re not welcome in my home, so you don’t need to come in. Remember what I said. If there’s a next time, I won’t let you off so easily."

After speaking, Gu’er went inside and slammed the door with a BANG, shutting Wei Hong out.

Wei Hong was so furious her nose was practically crooked. ’In this house, Dingzi’s family, Li Zhi, that grandfather and grandson with the surname Guan from before, plus the Lin Family and the Zhao Family—they’re all here every day. All these outsiders treat the Sun Family home like it’s their own. And yet I, the eldest daughter-in-law of the Sun Family, am shut out and not allowed in. That Gu’er is really shameless, showing me no respect at all!’

Wei Hong wanted to pound on the door and start screaming, but she stopped herself just as her hand was about to strike the wood. ’It really was my fault today. My mouth ran away with me and I said what I was really thinking. If Gu’er and I get into a fight later, no one will take my side. I bet when Cao Qiu gets back, she’ll pick a fight with me too. Forget it. I’ll just swallow my anger for now. I’ll wait until I can catch Gu’er in a mistake, and then we’ll see how I deal with her. We’ll see if she still dares to act so high and mighty in front of me, her sister-in-law.’

Wei Hong stomped off in a huff.

"How come you’re back by yourself? Where’s your sister-in-law?"

Grandma Sun asked as she watched Gu’er come inside.

"She went home."

After she spoke, Gu’er looked at Jiji lying on the kang bed. The unhappiness in her heart instantly dissipated. She picked up the rattle in her hand and began to play with him.

Grandma Sun didn’t press the issue. ’She knew in her heart that her eldest grandson’s wife must have said something she shouldn’t have and provoked Gu’er. Otherwise, knowing her personality, she would have definitely come in to eat and drink her fill, and then take some more with her when she left.’

’That eldest grandson’s wife... doesn’t she understand that you don’t bite the hand that feeds you? She eats our food, drinks our drinks, and uses our things. How can she not know what’s good for her? And she still wants to boss Gu’er around? She should take a good look at herself and see if she even has what it takes.’

Grandma Sun shook her head, stopped dwelling on it, and went back to watching the baby.

Sun Jiaming, Sun Zhuzi, and Cao Qiu didn’t get back until evening. All three of them were exhausted. Even so, Cao Qiu was excited, chattering non-stop about how everyone in the village envied her and was happy for her. She felt that this trip back home had been incredibly glorious.

"Where’s your sister-in-law? Didn’t I tell her to wait here for me? We were supposed to go back with her tonight?"

Cao Qiu asked Gu’er. ’She really wanted to stay here and take care of her grandson, but they had agreed not to live together from the start. It was one thing for her to stay and help while Gu’er was in postpartum confinement, but now that the month was over, she had to go back to her own place. Besides, the baby always slept with Gu’er at night, so she couldn’t hold him anyway. If she went back, she could just come over to see the baby during the day when she had time. It was all the same. So, she had already decided to move back to her own house today.’

"I sent her away."

Gu’er said without even looking up.

"Why would you send your sister-in-law away? Gu’er, I’m not trying to criticize you, but no matter what, Hong’er is still your sister-in-law. Look at all these other people you can tolerate, so why can’t you tolerate her?"

’Cao Qiu was a little displeased. Gu’er could let the Zhao Family stay, she could let so many outsiders stay, so why couldn’t she let Wei Hong stay? She had to remember that Jiasheng and Jiaming were biological brothers. They were the real family.’

"Because other people don’t talk about Jiji like that. They don’t curse my Jiji, saying he won’t survive or grow up."

’Gu’er wasn’t scared. She hadn’t done anything wrong in this matter. She hadn’t wanted to say anything at first, but since Cao Qiu was asking, she might as well tell her. Wei Hong was an obnoxious person, and it would be perfect to let Cao Qiu deal with her. It would teach her to stop running her mouth off all the time.’

"What! That shameless Wei Hong dared to curse my grandson? That wretched woman! Just you wait, I’m going to rip that mouth of hers to shreds!"

Sure enough, Cao Qiu exploded. Jiji was now the apple of her eye, a treasure no one was allowed to touch. For Wei Hong to dare curse her grandson, saying he wouldn’t live long—that had touched her reverse scale. It would be a miracle if she let Wei Hong off the hook.

Cao Qiu didn’t hesitate for a second. She grabbed Sun Zhuzi and left, heading back to deal with Wei Hong.

Sun Jiaming’s expression was grim as well, and he didn’t try to stop them. ’Wei Hong had gone too far this time. Even if Wei Hong was bitter that Gu’er had given birth to a son, she shouldn’t have said such a thing about a child. It would be good for her to learn a lesson.’

"You’ve been wronged."

Sun Jiaming squeezed Gu’er’s hand. ’As a mother, it must have been incredibly painful for Gu’er to hear someone say that about her child, especially when that person was his own sister-in-law.’

"It’s okay. It’s not like her words have any real power over Jiji. I believe he’ll grow up safe and sound and have a good life."

Gu’er shook her head. ’As a mother, she never wanted to hear a single bad word about her child, but it wasn’t as if someone’s words could actually change reality. So she chose not to dwell on it, otherwise she’d just be making herself miserable.’

Sun Jiaming put his arm around Gu’er. ’This sister-in-law of his couldn’t go on like this. He had to go talk to his older brother. He couldn’t let one person ruin the family’s atmosphere. If his sister-in-law didn’t change, then they just wouldn’t let her come over anymore. That would save everyone the heartache.’
