CHAPTER 484: CHAPTER 483: WHERE’S YOUR TAKEOUT?

Mrs. Zhen heard, suddenly let out a bitter laugh and shook her head.

In the past, she had so many words she wanted to say but couldn’t! Today, she finally managed to spill everything, yet the Gu’s either made excuses for themselves or found reasons for their daughter!

In any case, they never took her difficulties and sufferings to heart.

Since the days have come to this, what’s there left for her to look forward to if she continues like this?!

"Gu’s, you’re truly disappointing! I’m already at such an age, and I almost lost my life giving birth to a son for you! And after the child was born, you changed your face! You treated me like an ox and used me! Do you freaking have any conscience at all?!"

Just now, when Mrs. Zhen said a few words about Gu Qing, Gu’s father was already unhappy!

Now hearing Mrs. Zhen suddenly turning the spearhead towards him, he was naturally even more displeased!

He immediately retorted, "Who lacks conscience? I think you’re the one without conscience! If it weren’t because of you, would my leg have broken?! Would the restaurant’s business be affected?! Just asking you to do some house chores and take care of a child, and you freaking complain so much! If it wasn’t because you had no milk, would the child cry all day and night right after being discharged from the hospital?! I gave you supplements thirteen times, and no milk came out! Instead, a bunch of complaints came out!"

Mrs. Zhen, not to be outdone, said, "My leg broke because of me?! Then whose fault is it that I had severe bleeding giving birth?! Mr. Gu, don’t forget! Because of you, I freaking had to have my uterus removed! And is it because I had no milk that the child cried? Or because he was hungry?! Even after drinking milk powder and being full, wouldn’t he continue crying anyway? Besides, why do I still have no milk after so long, don’t you freaking have a clue?! Isn’t it all because you and your daughter keep upsetting me every day?! Making me cry every day!"

Gu’s father, having listened to Mrs. Zhen’s grievances for a long time, can’t listen to her complaints anymore!

So he suddenly stood up from his chair, picked up his crutches, and started moving towards his room.

And while moving, he said, "I think you’ve just been spoiled rotten! From now on, just stay honest at home taking care of the child! Things like pig’s feet and carp, I won’t let Little Gu’er bring them anymore! Anyways, they’re not useful! The child can just drink formula from now on!"

But Gu’s father wanted to avoid, Mrs. Zhen, however, did not want to let him go!

She followed him and kept talking non-stop!

Because she had completely entered the mode of speaking her mind, at this moment, she was completely unreserved! To put it plainly, she had started to give up and break everything! She no longer wanted to continue living like this and didn’t want to reconcile with Gu’s father at all!

"I’ve been spoiled rotten?! Ha! That’s the biggest joke! Who spoiled me? You did? What did you spoil me with?! Did you spoil me with food or drink? I think you’re just used to me working all day for you! Moreover, why should I just obediently stay at home taking care of the child?! I’m not a nanny you hired! You think that preventing Xiao Gu from delivering pig feet and fish, I won’t go buy them myself?! What, after eating for just a month you’re starting to feel the pinch on money and things?! Why didn’t I see you worried about me?! Besides, haven’t I earned enough money with my delivery work? Do you really need to be so stingy toward me?!"

Actually, what Mrs. Zhen said at the beginning of her grievances was somewhat reasonable, somewhat able to move the heart. At least, the reason Gu’s father refrained from arguing further was because of some guilt arising from those words.

Unfortunately! Mrs. Zhen, in the heat of anger, slipped up! The last two sentences unintentionally revealed her deepest true feelings! As soon as these two sentences ended, Gu’s father’s face visibly sank!

He slowly turned around, gritting his teeth and repeated, "Your delivery?!"

Mrs. Zhen opened her mouth wanting to answer—Isn’t it true?!

But before she could say it, Gu’s father raised his voice, "I’m telling you, Cheng Yan’er! Don’t freaking let me hear that sentence again!"

"I, the Gu Family’s delivery, have nothing to do with you! You really think those few pieces of rough-paper-that-is-harder-than-wiping-your-ass are your merit?! Without your few pieces of useless paper, the Gu Family’s delivery can still operate just fine! From now on, stop freaking talking to me about this!"

——

After Gu’s father slammed the door and left, Mrs. Zhen stood in place, stunned for a long time.

Then, she suddenly walked into the bedroom and placed the child from her arms onto the bed.

Even though the sound of the baby’s loud crying filled her ears, she didn’t reach out her hand to comfort him!

Instead, she just stood there, staring straight at the bed.

As she watched, the child on the bed, probably tired from crying, finally stopped after a long time.

Seeing this, Mrs. Zhen did not show any signs of relief, but suddenly squatted down and began sobbing loudly, leaning on the edge of the bed!

What sin had she committed!

It seemed like ever since she became pregnant with this child, everything and everyone around her had started falling apart!

Her daughter suddenly became heartless and uncompromising! Not only did she completely ruin the relationship with the Gu Family, but she also forced Mrs. Zhen to choose sides.

Her most filial elder son couldn’t be of any help either! Later, he sided with his sister, causing constant upheaval, and now, it was almost as if he had cut ties with her.

Her husband changed from being attentive and considerate to acting like a grumpy old man! Always expecting her to cater to him, he was always finding fault with her.

And the stepdaughter... that was even worse!

With dark circles under her eyes, Mrs. Zhen seemed determined to cry out all her grievances and sadness, crying loudly before quieting down, and then crying loudly again, until the child on the bed joined her in crying. Only then did she gradually stop.

With her face still streaked with tears, she picked up the child to comfort him as usual.

While comforting the child, she leaned back against the headboard and zoned out, too exhausted to even think about sleeping.

After a while, the child finally stopped crying too.

The entire bedroom was once again filled only with Mrs. Zhen’s monologue.

"... My child! You must never be like mom! Stop crying so much! It’s bad for your throat! And even if you cry, no one will feel sorry for you, so what’s the use of crying so loudly!"

As Mrs. Zhen spoke, she encased the whole bed with blankets and pillows, and then gently, tentatively placed the child who had already been asleep for a while towards the middle of the bed.

Unexpectedly, this time it went surprisingly smoothly, and she managed to lay him down in an instant!

But as Mrs. Zhen straightened up, there was not a trace of happiness on her face, her expression instead grew even more solemn.

After tucking the child in with a thick blanket, she suddenly walked to the window and pushed it open...
