Chapter 517: Chapter 518: Overnight at Guibao’s House

If they stepped in to plead, they certainly would have been beaten as well.

They could only sigh inwardly, lamenting that their younger sister shouldn’t have foolishly listened to her mother-in-law and sold her daughter.

The elder Chen couple were so kind to their daughters and daughters-in-law, they had always been envious of their younger sister who was lucky to marry into such a decent and upright family.

"What are you still standing there for?! Hurry up and move those grains, oil, flour, and meats into the kitchen!" Old Lady Li arrogantly ordered her daughters-in-law.

This time, she not only got items but also a hundred dollars, which made her quite satisfied.

"Understood, Mother." The daughters-in-law replied quietly, stepping forward to move the grains, oil, flour, and meats into the kitchen.

Old Lady Li followed them, supervising them as they locked everything away in the cupboard, pocketing the key before leaving. Then she saw Li Chunhua still sitting in the yard sobbing.

Her face sunk immediately, and she began to scold again, "All you do is cry, you bring bad luck! Don’t think about lazing around, get up quickly and wash all the clothes; we don’t feed freeloaders here!"

The thought of having another mouth to feed at home made her angry, and she harshly kicked Li Chunhua.

"If you don’t finish washing, you won’t eat!"

Tears streamed down Li Chunhua’s face even more fiercely after hearing this, but she didn’t dare delay any longer, and quickly got up to fetch the dirty laundry from the house to wash.

She knew her mother wasn’t joking. Even though she had just taken a hundred dollars and food from her hand, she would indeed withhold food from her!

She labored to draw water from the well and pour it into the basin. The moment her hand touched the water, she shivered from the cold and immediately withdrew it.

The well water was always cold, even in the height of summer it never warmed, making a bath on a hot night refreshing.

But in winter, the well water could chill you to the bone.

In the old Chen family, when they didn’t have river water, they would draw well water in advance and leave it to disperse the cold air.

On particularly cold days, they would even add some hot water.

And for the past two years, all the laundry chores were dumped on Sanni, so it had been a long time since she had washed clothes in the winter.

But here in the Li household, if she didn’t wash the clothes, she would be beaten and starved.

A sudden sadness took hold of Li Chunhua. She felt a rush of heat behind her eyes and tears fell again, but she had no choice but to endure the bone-chilling cold and begin washing the laundry.

In the evening, Jiang Manyun was on her way to pick up her son. She parked her bike at the door and called, "Tingyun!"

Gu Tingyun walked out of the house with Helian Qiao. "Mom, I want to have dinner at the Chen family’s house before coming home."

He wanted to spend more time with the little hamster.

Not long ago, Gu, who was always sensible and seldom bothered others, had taken the initiative to ask if he could stay for dinner.

Jiang Manyun knew that he was still missing playing with Guibao from the previous afternoon, so she joked, "Then you might as well sleep over at Guibao’s house tonight."

To her surprise, Gu Tingyun actually turned his head to look at Helian Qiao and asked her seriously, "Guibao, is that okay?"

He was somewhat excited. After all, he had never stayed at Guibao’s house before.

"Sure!" Helian Qiao nodded in agreement.

The bed was big anyway, it wouldn’t be cramped and she used to sleep with the big bad dragon often.

This way, they could have a snowball fight first thing in the morning.

Jiang Manyun:...

"You still need to ask Grandma Chen." She replied helplessly.

Even if he said he wanted to be the Chen family’s grandchild at that moment, she probably wouldn’t be too surprised.

After all, her son really likes Guibao a lot!
