Chapter 157: Encounter Again
Gao Hong seemed to let out a sigh of relief and quickly left.
When she got home and barely stepped through the door, Mrs. Cui pulled her over and demanded, "Well? Did that woman say anything?"
Mrs. Cui, who worked tirelessly all year round and had strong hands, didn’t even let Gao Hong admit she was in pain despite it being severe. Gao Hong nodded hastily, "Mother, she...she did say, I made things clear to her. She didn’t pursue the matter further, just said that in the future I must tell her..."
Hearing what she wanted to hear, Mrs. Cui let her daughter-in-law go, but couldn’t help venting, "It was just a bit of water from her, and she had to get stingy about it. Beautiful women are always the cruel ones. Such a person, you should keep your distance from her in the future!"
Gao Hong bowed her head, "I understand, Mother. I’ll get some water for you to soak your feet."
Mrs. Cui hummed indifferently, instructing her, "Call the two boys back and give them a bath."
Gao Hong, not daring to delay, ran out again to find them.
Soon she returned with Dabao and Er Bao, but Er Bao’s crying was almost loud enough to lift the roof.
Anger crossed Mrs. Cui’s face as she grabbed a shoe sole and threw it at Gao Hong, "You’re going to be the death of me, making my nephew cry. I’ll beat you to death today, you cruel-hearted creature! You resent me, don’t you? Taking it out on my precious grandson? You ungrateful wretch, do you think I would bother coming if it weren’t for the fact that you’re not showing more of that pregnancy? Why did you even bring my nephews along?" She continued to rant and lunged forward to hit her.
Gao Hong didn’t dare dodge, bearing the first hit from the shoe sole, she hurriedly said, "Mother, it’s not what you think, it’s because Er Bao wanted some candy."
