Chapter 118: Old Madam Zhang’s Robbery

The married ladies at that age all braided their hair. It was easy for Old Madam Zhang to grab her hair. She pulled back her hair and beat her constantly. She did not even care where she was punching. Zhang Xiaohui’s back, shoulder, head and even her face were punched. She screamed and pleaded for mercy.
“You bastard! Your elder brother is injured, do you know that? You don’t come and visit us? We’re living such a hard life. How dare you go to the town and buy new clothes, new shoes? When did you become so capable? I’ll beat you to death!”
Zhang Xiaohui could not do anything to Old Madam Zhang. She could only plead for mercy.
“Mother! I didn’t. Please, stop! I didn’t…”
Gu Ruoqing’s first reaction was to separate her mother and her grandmother. Instead, she immediately went to her room to hide the stuff they bought.
Her second and third aunt saw her action and followed her. The moment when Gu Ruoqing stepped into her room, the both of them entered as well.
“Yo! What’s wrong Qingqing? Are you terrified by your grandmother? Why do you hide in the room?”
“These are the things you bought in the town? I heard that you even went to the city? Let me take a look!”
Both her second and third aunt were not some kind souls. Before Gu Ruoqing could react, they grabbed the things from her hand.
“Let me see what this is. This is all good cloth!”
“Aunt…” Gu Ruoqing panicked and was not willing to let go.
However, her second and third aunt did not care about her opinion.
Her second aunt’s surname was Yang, and her full name was Yang Chaodi. She shouted towards the outside, “Mom, sister bought so many goods back! People in the brigade were telling the truth. Come and take a look!”
Gu Ruoqing totally panicked. She tried to grab everything back and hide them.
The Old Madam Zhang heard that and let go of Zhang Xiaohui. She then immediately dashed into the room and saw Gu Ruoqing trying to snatch the cloth with red checks. She walked over and slapped Gu Ruoqing.
“Little bitch. Why do you need such things for? Fuck off!”
Old Madam Zhang would not pity Gu Ruoqing. She slapped her with full force. She was not good at anything besides quarreling and beating people.
“Ah…”
Gu Ruoqing screamed. She was swung to the side by Old Madam Zhang’s slap. Zhang Xiaohui came in and held her.
At the other side, Old Madam Zhang and two of her daughters-in-law snatched everything from Gu Ruoqing’s hands and continued to dig for more.
There was not much furniture. It was easy to look for things. There was only one cabinet inside Gu Ruoqing’s room. All her things were placed inside.
All the clothes and knitting wool were dug out. The three of them’s eyes sparkled as they saw the good stuff.
“No, the wool…”
Gu Ruoqing cried out. She would have nothing if her grandmother and her aunt took it all away.
However, Zhang Xiaohui grabbed her and did not allow her to go over.
“Mom…” Gu Ruoqing’s tears flowed down her face. But Zhang Xiaohui said, “That’s your grandmother!”
“But…”
“Come back with me to do your job! Your elder brother is still on the bed! Go now!”
