Chapter 97: 091 Gao Yuzhu_2

Tian Chunfang could only be described as a pitiful but detestable woman, hoping that a man could see the remaining value in her and treat her well. She never considered what would happen after her value was completely drained, what would the consequences be?

Gao Yuzhu didn’t ask Gao Hongmei anymore, Tian Manjin had just finished explaining everything. Filled with hatred, he picked up a broom and launched himself at Gao Hongmei, beating her while lowering his voice and cursing, "How have I told you to behave? I told you to mind your own business, not to provoke Tian Sisi. Even I, your father, wouldn’t dare to mess with her. Have you grown wings? Huh?"

Gao Hongmei cried out in pain, calling for her mother, but Tian Chunfang dared not save her, only able to helplessly cry out from the side, "Enough, enough!"

Upon hearing that the Tian Family caused trouble at the door, Mr. Gao, Gao Shaoyue, was frightened and rushed over from his eldest son’s place. As soon as he entered, he heard his younger son beating his granddaughter and shouted angrily, "Yuzhu, what are you doing? Do you think our house has been too peaceful for too long?"

"Dad, stay out of this. I have to beat this little beast to death today, to prevent her from causing any bigger disasters in the future."

"If your daughter is a little beast, then wouldn’t I, your father, be an old beast? You’re cursing me! Hong Mei is just a child, what does she know? It’s all because of how you adults taught her. You better reflect on yourselves first." Gao Shaoyue said this while directing his words at his daughter-in-law, Tian Chunfang.

He couldn’t stand his daughter-in-law one bit, thinking how good-looking his own Gao Family members were, but this daughter-in-law and her daughter look like black bears. Originally, he was firmly opposed to his younger son marrying this woman, but his son was determined, and he couldn’t stop them. After marrying Tian Chunfang, she did bear two grandsons, and both turned out to look like the Gao Family, which comforted his heart somewhat.

But then she bore a daughter who turned out black like charcoal, a spitting image of Tian Chunfang. It was bad enough that the granddaughter was unsightly, but she was also as foolish as her mother, making a joke of herself in public, truly a disgrace. As a granddaughter of the Gao Family, he could bear with her, but he was less generous towards Tian Chunfang, blaming her faulty bloodline.

Tian Chunfang secretly rolled her eyes. She knew very well that her in-laws looked down on her, who wouldn’t be aware? But they were Yuzhu’s parents, so no matter how dissatisfied she felt in her heart, it wouldn’t be appropriate for her to make a scene. She would just try to avoid seeing them as much as possible, since they didn’t live together anyway.

Gao Yuzhu was very filial to his parents. Seeing Mr. Gao speak up, he stopped and with an apologetic smile, asked his father to sit down, then gestured to Tian Chunfang to make tea. Tian Chunfang curled her lip, reluctantly and grudgingly went to make tea.

"Yuzhu, I told you first thing in the morning, not to deal with the Tian Family. We are eggs, they are rocks. What good can come from an egg hitting a rock? You just don’t listen, insisting on competing." Mr. Gao patiently advised his younger son.

Of course, he was not willing to accept this. Once upon a time, the Gao Family was a respectable family in their old home, and if not for war and natural disasters making life unbearable, what would have forced them to flee to Yuequan Village to live under someone else’s roof? But when living under another’s roof, one has no choice but to bow. Having come to this point, they needed to focus on making their own lives better before anything else. Now it seems that moving to Yuequan Village at least had one benefit: it whitewashed their reputation. If they were still in their old home, they would be wealthy or middle farmers.

"Dad, just wait and see, it won’t take many days before our Gao Family can walk with our heads high in Yuequan Village again!" Gao Yuzhu still spoke honestly in front of his own father.

Mr. Gao looked at his younger son with hesitation. He had two sons; the elder son was honest and married an amiable woman, doing nothing but drudging in the mud all day. But this younger son was sharp-witted, so Mr. Gao placed all his hopes on him to restore the Gao Family’s former glory.

Gao Yuzhu whispered into his father’s ear, and after hesitating for a while, Mr. Gao said with indecision, "It seems a bit far-fetched, Yuzhu. It’s better to be cautious. If it doesn’t turn out well, we might not be able to stay in Yuequan Village."

"Dad, don’t worry too much. Even if it doesn’t work out, with my brother-in-law covering us in town, who would dare to drive the Gao Family away?" Gao Yuzhu wasn’t worried at all. His brother-in-law had been promoted recently, what was there to fear? His father was a man who feared the wolf in front and the tiger behind, not someone who could achieve great things.

Mr. Gao was still somewhat concerned, but he knew his younger son had grown headstrong and would no longer listen to him, so he could only repeatedly caution and anxious, returned to his elder son’s home.

Tian Xinhua was distracted throughout the afternoon’s work, feeling that something was off, yet he could not pinpoint what it was. Suddenly, his eyes lit up. That’s it, how could he have not thought of it? Dropping the firewood cutter at hand, he rushed toward Tian Qinghua and yelled, "Later, you move my firewood home."

Without waiting for Tian Qinghua to reply, he ran towards the area where the Old Man was working. He remembered that the Old Man was herding cattle at the foot of the mountain that afternoon. Tian Xinhua headed towards the lush grassy slope and sure enough, saw the Old Man and Tang Tieshan cutting grass nonstop, with four large water buffaloes leisurely grazing on the lush grass, their tails waving continuously, and occasionally letting out a "moo" sound.
