The roads were slippery on a snowy day and Jiang Yingqiu was not in good health thus Gu Chonghua told Gu Jinfeng to help send the child back.

When Gu Qingyao and Gu Jinfeng came out, they happened to see Li Dahai outside the yard.

Gu Qingyao squinted her eyes immediately and said in a cold tone, “What are you here for?”

Li Dahai had not eaten anything for an entire day. His family had already been in huge chaos since yesterday and he seriously could not withstand it and thus roasted two sweet potatoes to eat. The two sweet potatoes that he ate since yesterday lasted him until now.

There was no one in his house to cook and he was taking care of his mother at noon. Those people did not call him when they were eating and when he reached there, all the food was eaten up already.

Afterward, they suddenly began fighting for some reason and ended up dragging the topic of Gu Yunshuang into their quarrel.

They said that if she had not left, the family would not have ended up in this state.

They scolded her for being too “princess” and unfilial. Didn't Mother just tell her off with a few sentences? She actually said she wanted a divorce. Such a woman should die instead of causing the Li family to be in such chaos now.

These few days, Li Dahai's life had been very tough. No one washed his clothes nor st.i.tched up the frays on his clothes that were a result of labor. When he turned in at night, his bed was ice cold as there was no one to heat the kang bed-stove.

The kang bed-stove in the house was always cold.

His body slouched listlessly from a day without food.

He had never lived this way before and suddenly felt that what his family said was logical. Had Gu Yunshuang not left, the Li family would not be such a mess right now.

After so many years of upbringing by the Li family, Li Dahai had been completely raised with the wrong values. In his thinking, he instinctively would not find fault in his family members as this way of thinking was instilled in him since young.

Thus now, he could only blame Gu Yunshuang.

Li Dahai shuddered from the cold as he looked at Gu Yunshuang. “I'm here to bring Yunshuang back. The house is very busy right now…”

“What has it to do with my aunt whether your house is busy or not? Li Dahai, is your brain not functioning? My aunt has already divorced you. Quickly get lost. Don't appear in front of my house ever again.”

Unwilling to talk to such a clueless person, Gu Qingyao simply interrupted him and chased him away.

Li Dahai frowned. “How could a child like you speak to me in this manner? Your aunt and I have been husband and wife for ten over years…”

“Who do you think you are? Why can't I speak to you in this manner? Don't all your nephews speak to you this way in the Li family? Is there a problem?”

Gu Qingyao's expression was cold and she was reluctant to see such a person. “And you still have the nerve to mention that you and my aunt have been husband and wife for ten-over years? My aunt has been slaving for the Li family for so many years but you never showed any concern for her. You all caused her to have three miscarriages and the last one was even personally caused by you.

“Have you ever cared for my aunt when she was in confinement? The child is already miscarried but you never spoke about it. A cold and heartless person like you deserves to be alone. Get lost quickly. Don't think that the ladies of the Qing River Brigade are easy to bully. I will call the brigade leader over if you dare to come again.”

The Gu Qingyao in the previous life was rather timid.

On one hand, girls were naturally shyer and on another, it was because of the Gu family's cla.s.s status. That time, Gu Qingyao was definitely not as bold as now as she was afraid that causing trouble would implicate her grandparents.

But the current Gu Qingyao was different.

After experiencing so many years in the past lifetime, she knew that such days would eventually be over and thus her temper grew. When facing Li Dahai, she would not be polite at all.
