Chapter 770 - 766: Weakness
Women fear having their hair pulled more than anything, and Sun Yeshu was no exception.
Besides, Gu Jiaojiao was a ruthless woman who meant every word she said. The moment fear struck, Sun Yeshu let go of Gu Jiaojiao’s leg.
Once free, Gu Jiaojiao immediately took several steps back, putting distance between herself and Sun Yeshu.
She had no desire to be disgusted by her a second time.
"Sun Yeshu, we haven’t seen each other in days. The moment we do, you’re screaming bloody murder at me. I hit you in self-defense."
’I couldn’t just watch Sun Yeshu attack me and stand here like an idiot taking a beating! Impossible. Absolutely impossible.’
Hearing this, Sun Yeshu glared at Gu Jiaojiao, flustered and furious.
"It’s all your fault I had to come back to my parents’ house! You’re the reason my uncle’s family split from ours! Now everyone is calling me a jinx, and it’s all your fault! You’re the real jinx!"
It had been a few days since the Sun family had split. At first, Sun Yeshu hadn’t paid it any mind. She had even thought it was a good thing.
With her uncle’s family gone, there were so many rooms in the house. She could finally move into a bigger one.
And at the beginning, things were indeed great. Everyone at home was quite pleased.
But later, things took a turn for the worse.
Before, there were the two daughters-in-law from the eldest branch, her own elder brother’s wife, her aunt, and her mother, Mrs. Sun—five women to do the housework.
Now, the eldest branch had moved out, and her sister-in-law had gone back to her own family, intending to file for divorce.
All the household chores fell onto Mrs. Sun’s shoulders alone.
She hadn’t felt it before, but now, having to do farm labor every day on top of all the housework, her body clearly couldn’t take the strain.
As if that weren’t enough, she still had a daughter at home who expected to be waited on hand and foot. Before, Mrs. Sun had the time and leisure to coddle her. But now, she was being worked to death. Seeing her daughter eating and drinking well while stirring up all sorts of trouble, she finally lost her patience for the first time.
She started forcing Sun Yeshu to do housework.
She was pregnant, not disabled, after all.
If she couldn’t do heavy lifting because of the pregnancy, she could at least wash the dishes!
Washing dishes led to sweeping the yard, which was soon followed by chopping grass to feed the chickens.
Sun Yeshu felt utterly pathetic. Every day was as bitter as medicine, and she blamed Gu Jiaojiao for all of it.
So when she saw Gu Jiaojiao walking past her family’s gate, Sun Yeshu could no longer hold back and charged right out.
Before Gu Jiaojiao could get a word in, Mrs. Sun, who had walked into the yard and heard her daughter’s tearful accusations, decided she had a very good point.
She rushed forward. "It’s all your fault, you little bitch! If it weren’t for you, our Sun Family would never have split up!"
"This isn’t over!"
With that, she turned and shouted into the house.
Work had just ended for the day, and her two sons were both home.
Hearing their mother’s shout, they came outside to see Mrs. Sun pointing at Sun Yeshu.
"Gu Jiaojiao beat your sister up like this, so you go and do the same to her. We’re a reasonable family, so don’t be too rough when you hit her."
Gu Jiaojiao frowned as the two large men actually started walking toward her, looking ready to strike.
’Scaring other women was one thing, but she really couldn’t win a fight against two tall, sturdy men who did farm work for a living.’
"Jiaojiao."
Just as the situation was about to escalate, a familiar voice called out. Gu Jiaojiao followed the sound and saw Leng Yuan walking over from the side.
The moment the Sun Family saw Leng Yuan, their expressions immediately turned guilty.
’When did Leng Yuan get here? How did we not see him? If we had known her man was here, we wouldn’t have advanced just now. What should we do now?’
Leng Yuan’s reputation as a "God of Slaughter" wasn’t just for show. No one in the entire Qingshan Team wasn’t afraid of him.
Now, a single cold glare from him was enough to scare the souls right out of the Sun Family.
