Chapter 246 Big Sister Says Liars Get Struck by Lightning
Gu Feng felt a sudden surge of irritation and oppression. Was such strife not commonplace? A perfectly good day was ruined; everyone seemed determined to stir up trouble instead of living in peace.
He was well aware of the household affairs—there wasn’t a single soul who could ease his mind.
He couldn’t be bothered with the petty matters among the women. With a huff, he threw down his chopsticks and barked angrily, "This family will be the death of each other one day, with elders that don’t act their age, and the younger ones without any respect for their betters."
Having said that, he stormed out in anger.
Matriarch Huang saw that his bowl still contained half a bowl of rice and frowned, "Old man, at least finish your meal before you leave!"
"I’ve had enough!" Gu Feng retorted irritably.
With Gu Feng gone, Huang Xiangwen spoke more confidently.
The person she feared most in the family was this old man.
Without Gu Feng, she gave Gu Xiaoqing a smug look before slowly starting, "Ah, how could I let Qianqian do any chores? This child is just too kind-hearted and feels bad if she doesn’t contribute. Today, she went to the river to wash clothes by herself. Seeing Erya going to wash clothes as well and noticing Qianqian didn’t have much to do, I asked Erya to help. Who would have expected Erya to become upset? She left the clothes unwashed, slammed the door, and cursed us all..."
Unable to tolerate the twisting of truth, Gu Xiaoqing’s voice raised in anger, her neck flushing red, "Second Aunt, I remember my elder sister saying that people who lie will be struck by lightning. I don’t think she was right though, otherwise some people who always lie and spout nonsense would not be living so well still, right?"
"Erya!" Perhaps it was the mention of Gu Youyou that provoked her, but Matriarch Huang suddenly lashed out, "How dare you speak to your elders like that? You haven’t picked up anything good, just bad habits from that demon of a girl."
