Chapter 317: Gave Birth To A Daughter (3)

At the same time, at the Qing River Brigade, the Gu family finally received a letter from the eldest uncle, Gu Yunjing. They had already reached the north-east and settled down.
The whole family was together and safe and sound!
Everyone sighed in relief.
Seeing the address that was left on the letter, Wen Ruyu hurriedly packed some stuff for Gu Qingyao to send to them.
It was a foreign and remote place. God knows how much they would have to suffer.
Wen Ruyu’s heart ached dearly.
However, Gu Yunshen stopped her from sending too many things. Eldest Uncle and his family had just moved over and everyone was still unsure of the situation there. To play safe, Gu Yunshen told Gu Qingyao to send a few things only.
Gu Qingyao went to town. After pondering for a long time, she sent two catties of rice, one catty of flour, five catties of cornmeal, one catty of dried potato and one packet of dried vegetables.
She contained them with small cloth bags, which she had plenty of to contain all sorts of food for trading.
The supplies in her interspace had modern packaging and those rice, flour and whatnot were packed in large quantities using sacks. Nothing was packed in five or two catties and Gu Qingyao had to individually measure and split the quantity from the large sacks.
After sending it to the address, she went to find out about the Wang family’s situation.
She knew that Wang Guozhu only had that one small courtyard thus she reckoned that the Wang family would live there after being chased out from that house.
She took a look and saw that Liang Zhaodi was beating Zhang Xiaohui in the courtyard. “Useless thing. You can’t even wash clothes properly. You ate so much of my things and ended up giving birth to a girl. And you’re still thinking of eating? Dream on. Work!”
Gu Qingyao was taken aback!
Girl?
The child was already born?
And it was a girl?
Peeking from the cracks of the door, indeed, Zhang Xiaohui’s stomach was gone but she aged a lot and appeared extremely haggard.
Gu Qingyao had no sympathy for Zhang Xiaohui as it was all her own doing.
However, she was indeed quite surprised. She did not expect that in this lifetime, Zhang Xiaohui gave birth much earlier and the child was actually a girl. It should be known that in the previous lifetime, after getting together with Wang Guozhu, she did give birth to a boy.
It seemed that even the Heavens were sick of her already!
Zhang Xiaohui was already numb to such beatings and swearing but she still remembered Gu Ruoqing’s matter. She begged, “Mother, I’m begging you. Let me look for Qing Qing! She has already been missing for half a month. I want to look for Qing Qing. Ahh!”
“Shut up!” Liang Zhaodi slapped Zhang Xiaohui’s head. “I’ll look for that girl. I don’t believe that she can live outside for her entire life as a lady when she has nothing. She will naturally return when she’s about to die from hunger.”
“Don’t worry. I will look for her and marry her away immediately once found.”
“No… That must not be! Mother, she cannot marry into that family… Ahhh…”
Before Zhang Xiaohui finished her sentence, she met with Liang Zhaodi’s vicious beatings once again.
Gu Qingyao frowned as she listened from outside. Gu Ruoqing was missing?
How could a well and alive person be missing?
It was hard for a lady to live outside in this age. Without work, salary and food, she did not even have anything to eat.
She had already been missing for more than half a month?
Gu Qingyao listened from outside for a long time but did not hear any useful information. Who knew if Gu Ruoqing would bother the Gu family again when she is driven to a corner? But given her prideful and arrogant character, Gu Qingyao reckoned that she would not have the face to look for the Gu family.
But just in case, she still wanted to know where Gu Ruoqing was.
Thus, she looked for Chen Jin and asked him to take notice of it as he was well-informed.
