Chapter 3 The Stolen Treats
The young Gu Yuan pouted, full of resentment.
"Who made you so stingy? Zhu Xiuqin made Malted Milk for us and gave us candy. You're the only one who hides it and won't share."
"Shut up." Gu Cheng glanced at me and quickly scolded Gu Yuan.
I opened the cabinet and saw that the wedding candy and Malted Milk I had bought for the marriage were all gone.
Gu Cheng looked a bit uneasy. "I will buy some more in town tomorrow. It won't delay our wedding."
I was angry inside. I raised my hand and slapped Zhu Xiuqin twice.
"You stole from my house to do favors for others?"
Zhu Xiuqin covered her face and stammered an explanation.
"It was all a misunderstanding."
She was used to acting weak in front of Gu Cheng, so she did not dare to fight back.
This was my advance interest for the suffering I endured in my previous life.
A flash of ruthlessness crossed Gu Cheng's eyes, but he forced it down.
It looked like he still hoped that after he left, I would treat his brother and sister well. He did not dare to offend me.
"I allowed this," Gu Cheng said reluctantly. "Don't blame Zhu Xiuqin."
Under Gu Cheng's eye signal, Gu Yuan and Gu Fang reluctantly apologized to me.
"Song Xiaoya, we shouldn't have said that to you. We're sorry."
I kept a cold face. "Since you live under someone else's roof, you should act like it."
"You!" Gu Cheng stood up abruptly, staring at me with dead eyes.
"Song Xiaoya, we have lived together for so many years. Don't we have any affection at all?"
Heh, he also knew we had affection before.
Zhu Xiuqin kept signaling to Gu Cheng with her eyes. Only then did the coldness in his eyes gradually fade.
He forced a helpless smile at me.
"Song Xiaoya, they are still young. They will definitely change in the future."
I was about to leave anyway. Whether they changed or not had nothing to do with me.
At that moment, someone outside called Gu Cheng's name. I recognized the voice as Brother Ma, the moneylender from the same village.
After all, in my previous life, he had come to my door many times with the huge IOUs signed by Gu Cheng to collect the debt and threatened me viciously.
Just hearing his voice would make me panic reflexively.
While I worried day and night about the debt, Gu Cheng was enjoying good food and drinks in the south with Zhu Xiuqin.
Gu Cheng glanced at me nervously and hurried outside. "It might be someone from the factory. I'll go check."
Through the window, I saw Gu Cheng give Brother Ma a hand signal.
He had borrowed even more money than in my previous life.
Perhaps because I had not been as submissive lately as in my previous life.
He held a grudge and wanted to punish me on purpose.
He had borrowed ten thousand yuan plus extremely high interest. The average annual income was only two hundred yuan.
