Chapter 556: Chapter 557: A Group of Gossiping Women

As Ma Xiulian wiped the table, watching her son, she felt so proud.

Her son was indeed good-looking, otherwise wouldn’t have caught the eye of a city girl!

So, she laughed and said, "Exactly! People are judged by their clothes and a horse by its saddle. Now that you’ve changed into new clothes, your spirits have certainly lifted! Go on then, remember to buy a bag of flour and cut seven or eight pounds of fresh pork when you return."

She was thinking about making dumplings for breakfast the next morning. It’s been a while since she made dumplings for her little granddaughter.

"I got it." Chen Jianjun nodded and then walked out with steady steps.

After Ma Xiulian finished cleaning the table, she proceeded to butcher chickens and rabbits for lunch.

Soon after, several of her daughters-in-law came to help with the cooking.

Gu Tingyun and Helian Qiao walked hand in hand down from the back hill, encountering a group of gossipy women discussing the Chen family. When they saw Guibao, they curiously asked, "Guibao, we heard your father’s girlfriend is visiting your home today, is that true?"

Helian Qiao nodded innocently, "Yes."

At her words, the group of women instantly became more enthusiastic, pelting her with words from all sides.

"Once you have a stepmother, it’s the same as having a stepfather. When your father has his own biological children, especially a younger brother, he won’t like you as much anymore!"

"That’s right, all the meat, sugar, and delicious food at home will belong to your younger siblings. The new clothes will also be theirs, you might not have any new clothes to wear in the future."

"In the future, you won’t be able to go to school. You’ll have to stay at home to look after your younger siblings, help with laundry and cooking..."

Gu Tingyun covered Guibao’s ears as soon as he heard the first sentence. He was afraid these words would hurt her.

"What are you doing?" Helian Qiao blinked her big eyes and asked in a sweet and milky voice.

Gu Tingyun replied seriously, "Guibao, don’t listen to them. None of what they are saying is true!"

"I know!" Helian Qiao answered in her soft, tender voice.

She was so smart and capable that even if she had younger siblings, her dad would still like her the most!

Seeing that Guibao was not upset, Gu Tingyun finally released his hold on her ears, and held her little hand again.

He wanted to take her away from these annoying women!

But someone kept nagging, "Guibao, don’t go! Listen to your auntie say—"

Before she could finish her sentence, Master Gu gave her a cold glance. This sudden gaze made her scalp tingle and sent a chill rushing down her spine.

Her mouth hung open, but she didn’t dare to utter a word.

Only after the two walked away did she dare to gulp a breath of fresh air.

Master Gu, from being around Guibao of the Chen family for so long, had become quite strange himself.

Helian Qiao didn’t take this matter to heart. Holding hands with Gu Tingyun, she hopped and skipped towards home.

When they reached the village entrance, they met Chen Jianjun who had just returned.

She tugged at her small voice, tenderly calling out, "Daddy!"

Chen Jianjun, whose hands were full, immediately switched everything to one hand, strode over, and with his free hand hugged her firmly.

Lu Xiaofen also walked over, softly asking, "Guibao, do you remember auntie?"

She liked this plump, engaging, and clever little girl very much.

Helian Qiao replied in her milky voice, "I remember, you’re Auntie Lu from the hospital."

Lu Xiaofen broke into a happy smile, "Guibao has excellent memory!"

After saying that, she took red date cakes from her bag and gave one to each, Helian Qiao and Gu Tingyun.
