Chapter 62: Chapter 62: Persuading Divorce

Granny Gu truly favored Gu Fuqiao the most. After Gu Fuqiao helped her upstairs, even though she maintained a cold demeanor, her tone of voice was completely different from when she was downstairs.

Once she entered the room, she sat on the rocking chair on the open-air balcony and gestured for Gu Fuqiao to sit beside her.

As soon as Gu Fuqiao sat down, she heard Old Mrs. Gu say: "Ah Jiao, are you not mad at Grandma anymore?"

Gu Fuqiao knew that Old Mrs. Gu was referring to the matter of marrying Yan Zhen Guo. If it were the original character, she might still hold a grudge against the old lady, but that would be foolish. Such a good husband, you couldn’t even pray for one. How could she resent that?

Gu Fuqiao shook her head and said, "Grandma, you are the one who treats me the best. How could I ever forget that?"

Hearing this, Old Mrs. Gu couldn’t help but smile and said, "Didn’t you used to think your mom was the best? How come now you’re so good at making this old lady happy?"

What Old Mrs. Gu said was true. Even though Mother Gu favored Ouyang Qing, the original character still liked her. But after reading the diary and discovering the Gu family’s situation, she couldn’t bring herself to like Mother Gu anymore.

The ties of blood and kinship that bound the original character had significantly weakened.

Gu Fuqiao knew that even though she was married, she would still have to visit the Gu family occasionally. As long as Ouyang Qing was around, there would be quite a bit of trouble, and the only one who could help her with all this was Old Mrs. Gu.

Thinking of this, Gu Fuqiao pursed her lips and said somewhat aggrievedly, "Grandma, my mom has always been fond of my cousin. While I like my mom, she doesn’t like me. Why should I continue this?"

Old Mrs. Gu, hearing this, nodded, patted Gu Fuqiao on the head, and said, "Ah Jiao, don’t overthink this. No matter what, Ouyang Qing is just a cousin. Rest assured, no matter how big the issue is, while Grandma is here, nothing will fall apart."

Gu Fuqiao felt a surge of emotion in her heart upon hearing Old Mrs. Gu’s words. It was like her past life; even though she had been pitiful without parents, everything was fine as long as Grandma was around... At this moment, it was as if she had returned to the past.

"In a few days, I’ll have someone from the Ouyang family come and take her away. When I do things, your mother won’t dare say anything," Old Mrs. Gu said beside her.

Gu Fuqiao nodded slightly. Although out of sight, out of mind, she always felt that as long as Ouyang Qing remained with the Gu family, Mother Gu might come to her because of these matters, eventually bringing trouble to her and Yan Zhen Guo.

Such a troublesome cousin should be sent back home as soon as possible.

"Oh, by the way, Ah Jiao, do you have any thoughts about continuing your education?" Old Mrs. Gu’s words took Gu Fuqiao by surprise. Upon careful thought, this body’s original character was only around twenty years old. According to past circumstances, she should be in college. The original character’s family background should at least allow her to receive a university education. However, the Cultural Revolution just ended last year, and not attending university was quite normal.

After all, the original character’s capital status wouldn’t pass the screening.

University students in this era were much more powerful than those later, and receiving some education was certainly better than spinning around doing household chores every day.

Gu Fuqiao, without hesitation, nodded but hesitantly said, "But Grandma, I’m already married, and I haven’t studied for so long. I don’t even know if I can pass."

"You’re the firstborn daughter of the Gu family. How could you not pass?" Hearing this, Old Mrs. Gu smiled and said, "This year’s college entrance exams have already passed. Study well at home for a year, and then take the exam afterwards."

Gu Fuqiao thought this decision was good but also worried about not living separately from Yan Zhen Guo because many couples face trouble due to long-distance relationships. However, a diploma was necessary, so she considered enrolling in a university closer to home then.

Old Mrs. Gu had probably returned this time mainly to have Gu Fuqiao pursue college. She had also brought many high school textbooks for Gu Fuqiao. After putting away the textbooks, Gu Fuqiao said goodbye to Old Mrs. Gu and returned to her room.

But just as she went downstairs and reached the stairway’s turn on the second floor, she saw Mother Gu standing at the doorway.

She knew that if Mother Gu came looking for her, it was no good. So she directly asked, "Mom, what’s up? I’m a bit tired and want to go back to my room to sleep."

Mother Gu, looking at this daughter she didn’t care for, originally felt some guilt. But remembering Ouyang Qing’s tearful appearance today, her heart ached more, and upon looking at Gu Fuqiao again, her heart turned cold.

"Ah Jiao, Mom wants to talk to you about something." Mother Gu looked around, afraid of eavesdroppers, and said, "Come to my room to talk."

To her room? Gu Fuqiao feared there might be a trick!

She shook her head and said, "Mom, let’s not. It’s quite tiring carrying these books around, so let’s just go to my room." After saying this, without giving Mother Gu time to react, she turned and returned to her room.

Mother Gu followed Gu Fuqiao into her room, and after closing the door, she got straight to the point: "Ah Jiao, divorce Yan Zhen Guo!"

Upon hearing this, Gu Fuqiao felt a sense of relief.

Perhaps when she and Yan Zhen Guo last came home, Mother Gu wanted to say this to her. Now, getting straight to the point saved her some trouble, Gu Fuqiao thought.

She placed the book on the table beside her and asked calmly, "Why?"

Mother Gu didn’t expect her usually weak daughter to look at her like this and even ask why, so in anger, she said, "Didn’t you dislike that man doing research? Mom is helping you!"

Hearing that, Gu Fuqiao almost laughed out loud. She gave a cold laugh and said, "Helping me? Then why didn’t you help me when I didn’t want to get married in the first place? Mom, don’t you think you’re being hypocritical?"

"You..." Mother Gu wanted to say something but was interrupted by Gu Fuqiao.

"I don’t want to mention Ouyang Qing’s name. Have you ever thought that if your daughter becomes a divorced woman, what will people say? A fallen woman?" Gu Fuqiao’s words were piercing.

Mother Gu was rendered speechless, but recalling Ouyang Qing’s tearful face, her heart hardened, and she said, "Your sister has some affection for Yan Zhen Guo. She doesn’t have a mother, and as her sister, can’t you let her have him?"

Gu Fuqiao knew Mother Gu was terribly biased, but she didn’t expect her bias to go this far. Even though she wasn’t the original character, she had to admit she was so angry at Mother Gu’s words that she felt like spitting blood.

She took a deep breath and sarcastically said, "I’m really honored to have such a generous mother! I’m tired; please go out unless you want me to go upstairs and repeat what you said to Grandma!"
