Chapter 502: Disillusionment

Gu Qingyao looked rather annoyed as she continued, “Little Six and Little Nine are still at home, and my grandparents are getting on in years. If my father remarries and has another two children, there will be four children at home. How can my father possibly care for all of them by himself?

“If their granddaughter-in-law doesn’t come back to take care of them, who will?”

Sun Mei: “…”

She sat there dully. Her brain was buzzing, and she didn’t know what to think.

All she knew was that she had been disillusioned. What Gu Qingyao had described was a far cry from what she had imagined!

Remain in her hometown?

Take care of children and serve old people?

And wouldn’t she have to work in the fields for work points?

Then wait on a large family?

Sun Mei felt as if the sky had fallen. She sat there, ashen.

Gu Qingyao’s lips curled in a cold smile. You dare despise my older cousins? I’ll give you a good scare!

Beside her, Mo Beihan almost burst out laughing. His Yao Yao was just too adorable. Hahahaha!

Jiang Xun and the other children gaped!

Their grandmother and young uncle had told them that Sun Mei had designs on the Gu family, and they must beware of her machinations and not allow her to coax them into bringing her into contact with their uncles.

So they knew what was going on and what Sun Mei was thinking.

The younger ones might not understand entirely, but the older ones like Jiang Xun and Mo Chengrui certainly did.

They had not expected Young Aunt to come up with this! Gosh! She had smashed Sun Mei’s dreams. Look! She was pale with fright!

Auntie was awesome!

Sun Mei could not accept it. She grabbed Gu Qingyao’s arm. “No! It’s not like that. Your family… they… even if the old people need to be taken care of, it should be their daughter-in-law’s job. How can they ask their newlywed granddaughter-in-law to take care of them?

“Also, would your older cousins abandon their wives in their hometown right after the wedding? They’re always away; won’t that mean they’ll be separated soon after they are married?”

Gu Qingyao frowned. She looked increasingly annoyed with Sun Mei.

“What business is it of yours? Let go of me. Really, why are you so concerned about my family’s business? How can their daughter-in-law take care of them? My second aunt has a good job in the city, how can we ask her to come back? Doesn’t my Second Uncle need someone to take care of him?

“But if they find a city girl, it might be troublesome to ask her to remain here. After all, city girls might not know how to farm. So Second and Fourth Brother are thinking of finding a girl from their hometown. Then she can simply continue living here, take care of the old folks, help feed the cows and clean the cowshed. When it’s time to work, she can even work in the fields to earn work points. Then she can also bring up the children and do the laundry, cooking, and the other chores.”

Sun Mei: “…”

“If my father marries again, he will have to support his family and young children. His burden will be very heavy. My second aunt must stay in the city, so she can send the money she earns back to help out with the household expenses.”

Sun Mei said, “But your third aunt doesn’t have a job, right? Ask her to come back.”

Gu Qingyao said irritably, “Didn’t I just say that my third uncle’s family is not doing so well? They have young children to care for and two sons who need to get married. Even my third aunt has to go to work to earn money. How can she come back?”

“You said you’ll go over to take care of the children!” Sun Mei screamed.

Gu Qingyao was infuriated. “I’m getting married too. You must be crazy! How can I help my third aunt to take care of her children when I’m married?”

Sun Mei: “…”

Of course Gu Qingyao could not.

There were already so many children and an invalid in the Mo family. When Gu Qingyao got married, she would have to stay here and take care of the entire large family!
