Chapter 140: No Need To Be So Frightened, I’m Just Reminding You!

“Shut up!” Old Madam Zhang was infuriated!
Gu Qingyao smiled. “Why are you so frightened? Aren’t you poor farmers and true revolutionaries? What good people you are! What are you afraid of? When my father was home in the past, Zhang Xiaohui always stayed at home and seldom left the village. We never heard her say anything about a divorce. Now, my father merely made a trip to help out my third elder uncle’s family, and within a few months, she’s adamantly demanding a divorce.
“You suddenly have so much money and so many belongings. You’d better keep a lower profile! Otherwise, other people might start to gossip. In these times, you can be executed for having an extramarital affair!”
“Shut up! You’re talking nonsense!” Zhang Xiaohui was so frightened she turned pale.
Actually, Gu Qingyao was not exaggerating at all. In these times, conduct was very strictly governed. Extramarital affairs were viewed seriously. If they were caught, they would definitely lose their jobs. Many were sent to prison and if they had committed other crimes, they might even lose their lives.
Because these were extraordinary times. In some matters, there was no possibility of reasoning things out.
Although Zhang Xiaohui had been very happy with Wang Guozhu, in the depths of her heart, she was also terrified. Especially now that she was pregnant, but not yet married, her greatest fear was that someone would find out.
It was no problem if no one found out. But if someone did find out, it would spell disaster!
Old Madam Zhang was also terrified. She was so angry she could not speak for a long while.
In the end, they were all ordinary people. They just wanted an easy life and were afraid of suffering.
Now that Gu Qingyao had a handle on them, they dared not play any tricks. They were, at most, a bunch of scoundrels.
Gu Qingyao continued to smile coolly. “I’m not talking nonsense, I’m just reminding you. We must guard our tongues and not just talk freely. Who knows, one day someone might be upset with you and report you. That would be a disaster!
“Zhang Xiaohui, seeing that you were my mother, I’ll give you some advice. It’s best if you don’t have a lover outside, but if you really do, then whatever you do, don’t get pregnant. Once you’re pregnant, the evidence will be too obvious.
“My father has been gone for almost three months. If you’re pregnant, the child cannot possibly be his. If someone reports you and you are examined by a doctor, you won’t be able to find any excuses. Even if they want to drown you, you will have no recourse.”
The more Gu Qingyao talked like that, the more frightened Zhang Xiaohui grew.
Gu Qingyao looked at the terrified Gu Ruoqing and said, “And you. If your mother’s pregnancy is discovered, you will also be in trouble. After all, you’ve been by her side all this while. That person also gave you good food, nice clothes and other things. You knew about it, but didn’t report it. This means you were condoning your mother’s conduct. Both of you are bad people, you’ll both be drowned!
“Ah… don’t talk rubbish, I didn’t do anything!” Gu Ruoqing was just 15 years old and at that point was inexperienced. She was timid and unsophisticated. The moment Gu Qingyao scared her, her little face turned as white as a sheet, and she started to tremble!
Gu Qingyao laughed and said, “I know you didn’t. Don’t worry. As long as your mother isn’t pregnant, no one will be able to accuse you of anything. But if she is pregnant, then things will be different!”
Mo Beihan: “…”
Mo Beihan was next to Gu Qingyao and personally saw her dealing with the Zhangs.
Mo Beihan laughed when he saw that, with a few words, Gu Qingyao had shut up the entire Zhang family so that they were pale and speechless. His Yao Yao had truly become terrific!
He liked this little wild cat who knew how to bare her fangs and brandish her claws. She was usually so meek and gentle, but the moment she met bad people, she would unsheathe her claws!
How adorable!
He really wanted to… pick her up, kiss her and hug her!
