Chapter 5 Divorce Letter

"real?"

　　Mother Gu glanced at Su Wan. Her eyes were very beautiful, as clean and pure as clear water. There was no disgust or resentment in them as before. They were very peaceful, and making people feel comfortable looking at them.

　　Gu Baozhu nodded vigorously, "Really!"

　　Gu Jingyun pursed his thin lips tightly and glared at Gu Baozhu unhappily, not understanding why she wanted to protect Su Wan.

　　This woman is so evil. She ate up all the food by herself, leaving my mother and elder brother hungry.

　　Gu Baozhu's dark eyes were half filled with tears. She grasped his arm with her fingers and begged Gu Jingyun not to expose her.

　　Gu Jingyun couldn't stand seeing her look so pitiful, his eyebrows twisted into two caterpillars and he impatiently pushed her hand away.

　　Compromise...

　　Gu's mother believed it. The eyes can't lie. Su Wan has such clear eyes, so he must not have a bad heart.

Gu Baozhu has always been a very well-behaved person and would never lie.

　　Her expression softened, and she spoke from the bottom of her heart, "Wanwan, you are the eldest daughter of a wealthy family. When you marry into our family, having a full meal is a luxury. I found a part-time job in town. I go home at night to wash clothes for people and do some sewing and mending. I can provide you with enough meals and you can eat meat once every five days."

　　The country people are poor and can hardly eat meat throughout the year.

　　Su Wan felt a dull sensation in his chest, as if he had been hit hard, feeling sore and soft.

　　She lost her parents in her previous life when she was too old to remember. They were geologists and died in a mountain flood.

　　I grew up with my grandfather and my maternal grandfather.

Here with Gu's mother, she felt the warmth of maternal love.

　　"As our family works together, our lives will surely get better and better in the future." Mother Gu's eyes were moist. Ever since her husband died, she had no one to rely on, so she became very strong and stubborn so as not to be bullied.

　　The second and third children were still in the womb, but their father was gone.

　　No matter how hard or tiring it was, she gritted her teeth and persevered.

　　She felt heartbroken when she saw that the younger generation was not having a good life.

"If you are willing to live with us, our whole family will treat you well."

　　Mother Gu said this, took out a purse from her sleeve, stuffed it into Su Wan's hand, and covered her palm.

　　"This family is yours to take care of. Don't let what happened today happen again." Mother Gu stood up and walked out: "I'm going to collect grass for the pigs."

　　Gu Jingyun secretly wiped his moist eyes, put on a tense face, and ran after his mother.

　　Gu Baozhu's eyes were red like rabbit eyes, and she whispered, "Sister-in-law, my second brother and I will eat less and work harder to earn money. When we grow up, we will give you the same life you lived at home before."

　　People in Xinghua Village called her and her second brother a burden.

　　They are not!

　　Seeing how good they are, my sister-in-law will definitely not sell them.

　　Even if Su Wan had a heart of stone, she would be softened completely by their heartwarming words.

　　The purse in her hand felt like a thousand pounds, burning her.

Su Wan raised her hand and touched Gu Baozhu's head. There was a pink scar on her forehead, as big as a thumb nail. It was when she was newly married, Gu Baozhu asked the original owner to get up, and the original owner hit her with a bamboo tube.

　　Children from poor families have to grow up early. When the original owner married into the Gu family, the little girl treated her as one of her own.

　　He likes both the good and the bad. No matter how much it hurts the little girl's heart, if you show a little kindness, she will be open-hearted to her next time.

　　"Are you stupid? If you don't eat enough, how can you grow up and earn money for me?"

　　Su Wan rummaged in his sleeves, pulled out a handkerchief, and wiped the little girl's face, "Little cat, go wash your face quickly."

　　Gu Baozhu's face turned red instantly. She covered her face with a handkerchief and ran away in shame.

　　Only Gu Huaizhi and Su Wan were left in the room.

　　The smile on Su Wan's face faded.

　　"Su Wan, don't use your dissatisfaction to hurt innocent people." Gu Huaizhi took out a letter of divorce and pushed it in front of her: "No one in the Gu family has wronged you."
