After a chubby wife with a child undergoes a remarkable transformation, her beauty becomes the talk

It started not long after Gu Xiaohua married Zhang Chenggang.

Initially, Zhang Chenggang was acting on his mother's orders, believing that women wouldn't listen unless they were beaten, so he seized every opportunity to punch and kick Gu Xiaohua.

They even deliberately placed the ink in places that couldn't be seen, to prevent the Gu family from noticing.

Later, Gu Xiaohua became pregnant, and it turned out to be a girl.

The mother said it was unlucky to carry a girl, which completely triggered Zhang Chenggang's violent tendencies, and the child was aborted.

The reason this child was able to stay was because the sex couldn't be determined at the beginning.

Gu Xiaohua couldn't resist, but that only brought him more severe beatings. They wouldn't feed him, leaving him with no strength to fight back.

Gu Xiaohua did consider asking for help, but after Zhang Chenggang found out, she was beaten again.

That time, Gu Xiaohua almost lost half her life.

Zhang Chenggang later threatened Gu Xiaohua that if she dared to tell anyone, he would immediately sell her to the mountains, where she would never be able to escape.

Gu Xiaohua dared not resist. She knew that Zhang Chenggang was capable of such beastly acts, so she could only swallow her anger and suffer in silence.

They just silently endured it.

Upon hearing all this, Gu Youcai wished he could take a knife and exchange his life for Zhang Chenggang's.

It was Shen Lu's timely presentation of Zhang Chenggang's guarantee that calmed Gu Youcai down.

In the afternoon, Gu's mother brought half a pound of brown sugar to visit Gu Xiaohua.

Gu Xiaohua received ample care and recovered very quickly; by the afternoon, she was already able to hold her child.

When Gu Xiaohua saw her own mother, she didn't react much.

Her face showed a detached indifference that seemed to have seen through everything. She had known since childhood that her mother did not love her, but she was only accepting it now.

After giving them a perfunctory response and looking at the child, Gu's mother finally revealed the purpose of their visit.

"Look at you, you're all alone and can't take care of yourself during your postpartum period. Here's what we'll do: give me thirty yuan a month and I'll take care of you."

Gu Xiaohua's heart, which had finally warmed up, suddenly felt like it had fallen into an icebox.

This is her own mother, and she's talking to her about money!

She didn't keep a single penny of the 300 yuan dowry she received for her wedding; it was all held by her mother.

After that, her mother used various excuses to get her to bring money home.

This is precisely why she didn't even have the courage to resist when Zhang Chenggang hit her.

"Go! You all go!"

Gu Xiaohua was agitated, her face flushed red.

Just then, Shen Lu and the two little ones arrived with lunchboxes.

Mother Gu knew she had gone too far, and seeing Shen Lu arrive, she felt embarrassed to stay any longer and slunk away.

"Auntie, don't cry, we've come to see you and the children."

With Shen Lu, Xiao Yu, and Xiao Ze by her side, Gu Xiaohua's emotions gradually stabilized.

Xiao Yu and Xiao Ze had been eagerly anticipating their aunt's baby ever since they heard it.

Shen Lu couldn't refuse them, so she had to agree to let the two little ones take a peek.

"Auntie, is this child a little brother or a little sister?"

Gu Xiaohua, having been healed by Xiao Yu and Xiao Ze, asked with a smile.

What does Xiaoyu think?

"I guess it's a little brother, a little man like my brother and me."

When talking about her child, Gu Xiaohua radiates maternal glow.

"They are little boys, just like you two."

"Really? I have a little brother!" Xiao Yu's eyes lit up.

He always wanted a younger brother so he could take him up the tree to steal bird eggs and down into the water to catch loaches.

Of course, he will guide his younger brother to become a real man.

Gu Ziran was excitedly making a list of what he wanted to do with Gu Xiaohua's son.

At the time, Shen Lu was worried that Zhang Chenggang and the others would keep pestering Gu Xiaohua after learning that she had given birth to a boy, so she specifically explained the situation to the doctor and asked her to tell the outside world that she had given birth to a girl.

Because Shen Lu was someone the dean had arranged, the doctor made an exception and allowed this situation.

Gu Xiaohua also understood her good intentions.

The two little ones were playing with the newborn, while Shen Lu and Gu Xiaohua chatted idly.

Shen Lu took out the written agreement that Zhang Cheng had just made from her pocket, along with the thousand yuan she had just collected.

"You must keep this money and the receipt safe; they are your capital to turn your life around."

Gu Xiaohua took it, and tears welled up in her eyes as she looked at Shen Lu.

"Thank you, Second Sister-in-law. I really couldn't have survived without you."

Shen Lu gently shook her head: "I should be thanking you. It's all thanks to you for taking care of Xiao Yu and Xiao Ze for so long. By the way, what are your plans for the future?"

"I don't know," Gu Xiaohua shook her head.

Gu Xiaohua gave a wry smile: "I have two children at home, and I don't know how I'm going to go to work."

Shen Lu held Gu Xiaohua's hand.

Have you ever thought about the college entrance exam?

"The National College Entrance Examination?"

Gu Xiaohua looked confused and couldn't understand Shen Lu's meaning for a moment. What did the college entrance examination have to do with her?

"Knowledge changes destiny; you can go to university." Shen Lu looked into Gu Xiaohua's eyes.

Gu Xiaohua's eyes widened. How could someone who hadn't even graduated from high school do this?

Moreover, the situation at home is still like this.

Gu Xiaohua's gaze darted away, her voice somewhat deflated: "I'm already a mother of two, how can I go to university?"

"Why not? The college entrance exam is for the whole society. Do you really want to live like this for the rest of your life?"

Gu Xiaohua's current situation is that she can only take care of her children in her hometown, working the land from dawn till dusk for the rest of her life. Raising two children is a hundred times more difficult for her than for other women.

As someone who had been treated kindly by Gu Xiaohua, Shen Lu was unwilling to see her live such a mediocre life.

"Just tell me if you want to go to university, and don't worry about anything else."

Gu Xiaohua answered almost without hesitation: "I want to!"

She also wanted to change her own life and create better living conditions for her two children.

"Okay, I'll go find you some books. Tomorrow, I'll have your brother take you home. We'll spend some money to hire a woman to help you during your postpartum period. That money should be enough to support you and the baby for the next two years."

"From now on, besides taking care of the children, you can focus on reading and doing exercises. Ask me if you don't understand anything."

Although this body is not good at studying, Shen Lu's grades were better in her previous life. However, since she has changed so much, her good grades will not arouse too much suspicion for the time being.

"Hmm..." Gu Xiaohua also knew that she wouldn't have any learning opportunities in front of her mother.

When Shen Lu got home that evening, she thought about what Gu Xiaohua wanted to learn.

According to her own account, she had excellent grades in junior high school and had a solid foundation in her studies, but her mother insisted that she drop out of school, which is why she didn't continue her studies.

Therefore, Gu Xiaohua shouldn't find it particularly difficult to learn.

Shen Lu plans to go out on the street the day after tomorrow to see what high school books and workbooks she can buy for Gu Xiaohua.

Shen Lu had been helping to take care of Gu Xiaohua lately, neglecting the feelings of the two little ones. She spent a long time playing with them in the yard that evening.
