bad marriage

Chapter 5

Gu's mother bit her lip, and Gu Yining pressed her mother's waist softly.

Gu's father saw that Gu's mother was loose, and pulled her: "My mother has such a temper, don't you know that, she is saying that we are here to ask for help..."

Gu's mother was reluctantly pulled back by Gu's father. Although Gu Yining was young, she had winks and didn't say anything. Gu Haitao had no brains and yelled: "I won't go back, I won't go back..."

Papa Gu put on a tiger face: "If you are screaming, I will cut you..."

Seeing that his mother was silent, Gu Haitao's voice became weaker and weaker.

Gu's father took Gu's mother's hand and walked back, while ordering: "You should treat An Ning better when you go back. An Ning grows up by the old lady's side, and the old lady will naturally love her more, so it is convenient to ask for money..."

Mother Gu gritted her teeth, and was dragged back into the yard by Father Gu.

After all, Gu Haitao was a child, he didn't see it when he entered the door, but now he saw chickens and ducks all over the yard, and he said greedily, "Mom, I want to eat chicken..."

Father Gu led his wife into the door. The old lady kept a cold face and didn't say a word.

Gu's father pulled away from Gu's mother, smiling all over his face: "Mom, she has been taught by me, you should always be a big adult and don't be as knowledgeable as her, we will always apologize to you..."

Mother Gu turned her face away unwillingly, not looking at the two people on the kang.

Father Gu sat on the kang, looked at Gu An Ning in Grandma Gu's arms, and smiled softly: "An Ning, it's Dad..."

Gu Anning didn't speak, the atmosphere was a bit cold, Gu's father hurriedly tugged on Gu's mother's sleeve: "Don't you always talk about An Ning at home, you don't know how tall and how old she is, why don't you say a word when you meet?"

Gu Anning's back was a little stiff.

Grandma Gu sighed, she was a child after all, she breathed a sigh of relief, and her face softened: "You are almost the same, both of you are your children..."

Papa Gu laughed along: "Mom, what you said is that she came back this time because she was talking about missing her daughter..."

Grandma Gu reluctantly nodded. She felt that Gu Anning was their own child after all, and no matter how cruel the parents were, it was impossible for them to deny the child. After all, they hadn't been around for so many years, so there must be some birthright, Grandma Gu told herself in her heart.

"Have you eaten yet?" She got off the kang.

Gu's father sat on the kang and opened his arms to Gu Anning. Gu Anning hesitated, Gu's grandma pushed Gu Aning, Gu Anning stood up and took two steps, and then sat in front of Gu's father. Chung, it is his child after all, touched Gu Anning's face: "Call me Dad..."

Gu Anning yelled in a mosquito-like voice: "Dad..."

"Hey..." Papa Gu responded.

Grandma Gu crossed the threshold and went out to prepare meals for them. Papa Gu winked at Mama Gu, and Mama Gu followed reluctantly.

"Mom, let me help you..."

Grandma Gu looked at her daughter-in-law's nose and eyes, so she didn't bother to look at her old face.

"Go into the house and talk to An Ning. I haven't seen you in so many years. Thanks to you being a mother, the meat that fell from your body..." Grandma Gu said as she squatted down and started to light the fire in the big stove.

Gu's mother twisted her buttocks but remembered her son's words: "Mom, Haitao wants to eat chicken..."

Grandma Gu sighed: "I'll kill you right now, go in, you'll be covered in dust outside..."

Mother Gu thought to herself, even if you asked me to stay, I would not stay.

Gu's mother entered the room, Gu Anning looked at her a little timidly, Gu's father pushed her: "Anning, it's mother..."

Of course Gu Anning knew it was her mother, but thinking of the impatience in her eyes before, the hopeful eyes dimmed in an instant.

Gu's mother couldn't bear to see other people moaning like this, with a cold face, as if frost could be scraped off her face.

"I'm your mother, what are you afraid of me doing?"

Papa Gu was pushing Gu An Ning's back, and An Ning walked over slowly.

Gu's mother looked at the way she was holding back her tears, and her unhappiness came out again: "Am I dead or something happened? Why are you crying?"

An Ning lowered her head, her heart trembling slightly.

Papa Gu waved his hand, hugged Gu Anning in his arms again, and comforted her: "Your mother has that temper, you just get used to it..."

Gu Yining looked at the way her father was hugging Gu An Ning, with a look of uneasiness on her face, she walked to her mother, her body softly pressed against her waist: "Mom..." She spoke in a delicate voice.

Gu's mother looked at her eldest daughter's face, as long as she saw her eldest daughter's face, she felt in a good mood.

The fortune teller said that Yining was the concubine's fate.

Of the three children, Gu Yining looks the most like her mother. She has been a little beauty since she was a child, whoever praises her. The youngest Gu Haitao looks like her father, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, while the second child, Gu Anning, looks like her deceased grandfather. It is also strange that it will be passed down from generation to generation.

"What's the matter? Is it cold?" Mother Gu asked her daughter, it would be bad if her hands and feet got cold.

The girl's skin and hands and feet are so delicate, and Yining wears very little, so her heart aches to death if she gets frostbitten.

Gu Yining moved her nose and beckoned to her mother gracefully. Mother Gu bent down and put her ear on the eldest daughter's lips.

Gu Yining pressed her mother's cool cheek tightly: "Mom, I want the necklace around her neck..."

Mother Gu patted her daughter on the shoulder, this matter should not be rushed, but take your time.

Gu Yining didn't get her mother's answer, so she was a little angry, at least two taels of pork could hang on her small mouth.

Gu An Ning got down from the kang, and moved the kang table onto the kang with some difficulty. When Gu's father saw it, he looked at Gu Yining happily and said, "Yining, see how sensible your sister is, learn from me..."

Gu Anning was a little embarrassed to hear her father's praise and went out to help grandma.

Gu Yining muttered softly: "Who will learn from her..."

Gu's mother took off her shoes and got on the kang. When Gu Yining saw her mother on the kang, she also took off her little leather shoes, and then put her leather shoes on the edge, and put them neatly together. Then she looked at her white socks and stood there. I can't get my feet off the edge.

Mother Gu tore off the quilt that Grandma Gu was sleeping on and threw herself on the kang. Gu Yining pouted, stepped on it, and then sat down.

Grandma Gu was killing chickens outside. Gu Anning scooped water from the cauldron and poured it into a silver basin. When Grandma Gu came in, she had already adjusted the temperature of the water.

Grandma Gu sighed, the whole family in the room was waiting to eat, how could there be such a difference?
After finishing the work at hand, Gu Anning took the firewood from the back and added fire to the big stove.

"Go inside, it's cold outside..." Grandma Gu said.

Gu Anning just smiled and continued.

When Grandma Gu finished the meal, the family in the house had already slept to the west, and the four of them lay on the kang, sound asleep.
