Rebirth: Divine Doctor, Sweet Wife

“You…” Zhou Ping was taken aback. She had not expected Gu Qingyao to be so unyielding.

It was true that the family doted on this girl, but Zhou Ping knew her character.

The girl was gentle and quiet. She was shy by nature, and very obedient.

This girl had come to her house and ate her food and lived with her. All she had to do was cook and take care of the children. Today, Mo Beihan had moved house, and she had gone out for the whole day, causing her two children to go hungry. How dare she answer back when Zhou Ping reprimanded her a little?

Zhou Ping was enraged. “How dare you! Yao Yao, why were you asked to come here? What have we asked you to do during your long stay here? This is the city. You don’t have to farm and be exposed to the elements. You can enjoy the breeze from the electric fan every day, and you get three meals every day without fail.

“All I’m asking you to do is to cook a meal, and you’re feeling wronged? You can help since Mo Beihan is moving house, but do you need to stay away all day? Don’t you know there are two children at home waiting for food?”

Gu Qingyao’s expression was cold. “You haven’t answered me yet. Isn’t your leg better? Can’t you cook a meal?”

“You…”

This girl would not back down and insisted on arguing with her. Zhou Ping was furious and this time, she was really outraged. Her temper was sparked by going hungry all day.

Just at that moment, the door opened, and Gu Jinlin and Gu Yundong came in.

Coincidentally, the two of them had gotten off work early. Since Mo Beihan was home, the two of them had hurried back.

Gu Jinlin saw Mo Beihan and Gu Qingyao standing at the doorway, but did not realize that something was amiss.

“Beihan, you’re back! Why are you standing at the doorway? Is your house ready yet? Have you eaten? Stay for dinner.”

When Gu Jinlin and Gu Yundong entered, Zhou Ping was filled with rage. She ignored what Gu Jinlin said to Mo Beihan, and spoke out.

“You’re back just in time to teach this girl a lesson. She’s been out all day and the two children are crying from hunger. It’s so late, but she did not come home to cook.

“I reprimanded her a little and she dared to argue with me. Look at her. A young girl going out all day. It’s so late, should you still be out? I thought you would not come back tonight!”

The moment she spoke, even Gu Jinlin and Gu Yundong’s expressions changed, much less Mo Beihan.

“Mother, what are you saying?”

His younger cousin was a good girl. Didn’t she just go out for a while? Was it so serious?

Gu Yundong frowned and looked at her. “Why are you in such a temper? Who has offended you?”

Zhou Ping said angrily. “Who has offended me? Who else but her?”

A cold light glinted in his eyes as Mo Beihan looked at Zhou Ping. He said, “Today, I moved and had to set my house in order. Yao Yao went to help me. We cleaned the house and went to buy some daily necessities. We’ve been cleaning all day, so I did not let Yao Yao go home at noon to cook; she just ate at my place. When we finished this evening, I brought her out for dinner before bringing her home.

“Aunt, Yao Yao is my fiancée. It has only just gotten dark and she has been working hard with me all day. Is it a problem if I bring her out for dinner before sending her home?”

Zhou Ping’s mouth twitched as she looked at Mo Beihan’s imposing expression. She was temporarily at a loss for words.

Gu Jinlin and Gu Yundong looked at Zhou Ping.

At that moment, Little Seven and Little Eight came out of their rooms. Children were a lot simpler. They did not really know what their mother was thinking. They just spoke the unvarnished truth.
