Chapter 2 "It's just a ghost"

"Mom, do you have a headache?" The eldest boy thought his mother's expression was very strange. He thought her head was broken and her face was full of worry.

He was just over five years old, with a thin face and little flesh on his body. His sleeves and knees were covered with large patches. This attire was very common in that era and there was nothing wrong with it. But in the eyes of Lin Zhao, who had awakened, it was evidence that she had mistreated her son.

Lin Zhao felt that she was out of her mind before she woke up. She held Gu Chenghuai's passbook in her hand and received a "large" allowance every month, but she was reluctant to spend it. She deserved to die for raising her son like this.

And this house, not only is it covered in dust every day, but there's nothing of value in it. As long as it's airtight, thieves wouldn't bother to get in. She wasn't the kind of person who was stingy with money before they got married, so why would she become so stingy after having a baby?!

Lin Zhao was almost disgusted with herself!!
She was overflowing with maternal love at this moment, and thought that her cubs were perfect in every way. She touched the older cub's face which had very little flesh on it.

"It doesn't hurt, Mommy is fine."

What wonderful children! In this life, she must make the children happy, let them have a wonderful childhood, and become the most beautiful children in the whole commune!
The eldest boy opened his eyes wide. His mother touched his face. Does his mother like him...?
The little guy's face turned red with joy. He glanced at Lin Zhao, and the corners of his mouth curled up secretly, like a kitten that had stolen some dried fish.

The eldest child suppressed his shyness and asked, "Mom, are you hungry?"

Lin Zhao had a headache and no appetite. She shook her head and said, "I'm fine. Where's Erzai?"

"The second child is coaxing his younger siblings." The twins, who are over one year old, are taken care of by the eldest and second children. The eldest child didn't think anything was wrong.

Lin Zhao was ashamed.

She is really not a qualified mother. She must have been possessed by some strange thing before awakening!

"Go and have a look."

The eldest cub was full of confusion, but he was still very happy that his mother cared about his younger siblings.

While everyone here is having fun, the Gu family’s old house is in chaos—

Gu's mother returned home and told the whole family about Lin Zhao's request.

Gu Xing'er exploded instantly, and said excitedly and angrily: "Why does that woman do that? That's my third brother's money, why doesn't she let me spend it! I want to tell my third brother that his wife is bullying his own sister!"

Of the three conditions, she could tolerate the other two, but she couldn't tolerate the one about not giving her money.

Gu's mother had been cleaning up Gu Xing'er's butt a lot in the past few years and was really tired. She also said, "You go, go now, call, send a telegram, and tell your third brother that you pushed his wife and the mother of his child to the ground and made a big bump on their heads. Go and tell them."

How could Gu Xing'er dare to go? Her third brother had changed after marrying that enchantress Lin Zhao. He was no longer the third brother who doted on her in everything.

"Mom, I'm your daughter." Gu Xing'er's face was full of grievance. She argued loudly and unconvincedly: "Lin Zhao is my third sister-in-law. What's wrong with me eating her bowl of egg custard? It's that vixen's fault for not giving it to me. She deserves to be banged against the wall."

Before she could finish her yelling, she heard a loud slap and her mother slapped her hard in the face. Her face tilted to the side and a red slap mark appeared on her relatively fair face.

Mother Gu was so angry that she blurted out all the words.

Is it okay for a vixen to say this to anyone? Do you want to be dragged away?!

At this time, Gu's father, who was always silent, frowned and said in a cold voice: "You have wasted your time studying! You don't need to go to school anymore, come back to work!" He made the final decision.

"Mom, you hit me, Dad, you don't let me go to school, I hate you!" Gu Xing'er yelled, ran back to her room, crying loudly, cursing.

Father Gu was furious: "Let her starve for two days, and no one is allowed to bring her food."

He looked at Mother Gu: "Especially you."

"The school can't teach her how to be a good person, so we will teach her!" Father Gu was disappointed and heartbroken.

Huang Xiulan, the eldest sister-in-law of the Gu family, and Zhao Liuniang, the second sister-in-law of the Gu family, were busy cleaning the kitchen. The second sister-in-law of the Gu family couldn't help but ask, "Sister-in-law, do you think my sister-in-law can still go to school?" Huang Xiulan glanced outside and whispered, "I'm afraid it's difficult."

This was the first time my mother-in-law hit a younger generation. It seemed that she was very angry. It's quite scary when an honest person gets angry.

Zhao Liuniang laughed gloatingly, and thought her sister-in-law was stupid from the bottom of her heart: "It's right for her not to go to school. With her brain, it will be useless even if she goes to school for another hundred years."

"Be more restrained." Huang Xiulan reminded them that she was, after all, her parents-in-law's biological daughter. The old couple could say whatever they wanted, but they couldn't.

Zhao Liuniang stopped talking, washed the dishes with wood ash, hummed a tune, and was in a good mood.

The three-room mud house of the Gu family.

Lin Zhao entered the children's room. As soon as she stepped in with her right foot, dust started falling from above her head, landing right on top of her.

"..."

Speechless.

Lin Zhao brushed off the dust on her hair with her hands, and was once again convinced that she must have been possessed by a ghost before she woke up.

Even before she got married, when her family was extremely poor, she would ask her father to find a way to tidy up the house. It would never be so sloppy.

These past few years have been like a dream.

When the second son saw his mother actually coming to their house, he looked at his eldest brother with a puzzled look on his face.

The eldest boy's attention was all on his mother and he didn't notice the look in his younger brother Baba's eyes.

The second child slid off the bed and walked over to the eldest child. Without looking at Lin Zhao, he spoke to his brother: "Brother, why is she in our room?"

In the past few years, the twins were raised by their mother Gu. Lin Zhao didn't pay much attention to them, and the children were not very close to her. However, children are born to be attached to their mothers. When Lin Zhao was injured, they protected her first. As long as their mother gave them a good look, they couldn't help but want to be close to her.

When Lin Zhao heard Erzai's question, she reached out and pulled his face hard, making Erzai cry out.

"Mom!" Considering his sleeping younger brothers and sisters, Erzai wanted to shout loudly but held back. The little boy's face turned red with anger, but his face was dark, so it was hard to see.

"What are you whispering about? And you're saying it behind my back." Lin Zhao half bent down and asked with a smile.

The moment she let go of her hand, Erzai pushed her angrily, but he remembered that his mother was injured today, so he didn't use much force. He grunted and ran out the door.

The eldest son had a good relationship with his younger brother, and fearing Lin Zhao would be angry, he hurriedly explained on the second son's behalf, "Mom, don't be angry with the second son. The second son didn't mean it."

Lin Zhao waved her hands, still smiling: "The angry and embarrassed Erzi is so cute."

The eldest cub was stunned in place. Then he realized that his mother was praising the second cub for being cute. His heart felt a little depressed because his mother had never praised him before...

Lin Zhao didn't notice the eldest son's mood and walked closer to the wooden bed. The bedding on the bed was black, and the thin blanket covering the twins was colorful, made of cloth of different colors, with yellow stains on it.

"Third and fourth cubs are starting to stink," she said.

Erzai, who had taken two sweet potatoes from the kitchen, glared at Lin Zhao angrily when he heard this. A fragility flashed in his eyes, and he shouted, "Grandma is at work and doesn't have time to help us wash. You can't ignore us or look down on us!"

After he finished yelling, he felt regretful and confronted her with his neck stiff and eyes red.
