Chapter 1243: Borrowing Your Auspicious Words
Mrs. Chu had been on edge ever since she returned from the town.
Gu Jianghai was worried, too.
Having heard what Su Yunjin had to say, Mrs. Chu and her husband Gu Jianghai exchanged a glance, both finding her point reasonable, and decided not to dwell on the matter any longer.
Gu Jianghai was furious.
With Gu Hengniang causing such a scene today, Gu Jianghai had no intention of recognizing Gu Hengniang as his sister anymore. Strangers wouldn’t have even dreamt of making a scene in their shop; yet Gu Hengniang, his own sister, had done just that, ruining the business he and his wife worked so hard to keep running.
Furthermore, Gu Hengniang’s request to borrow money infuriated both Mrs. Chu and Gu Jianghai. They slaved away for a whole month and could barely make fifty silver coins, yet Gu Hengniang had the audacity to ask him and his wife for fifty silver to buy Wan Da’an a birthday present?
In the past, Gu Jianghai and Mrs. Chu couldn’t even afford to eat meat on their own birthdays. Now that they could, the most they would spend was a few dozen copper coins for a good meal.
Gu Hengniang had the nerve to ask for fifty silver to buy a jade pendant? Gu Jianghai had no spare money to buy Wan Da’an a jade pendant for her, and even if he did, he wouldn’t.
He and his wife were working hard to save for their daughter Aluo’s dowry, not to buy jade pendants for Gu Hengniang to gift to Wan Da’an.
"Brother, sister-in-law, what Second Sister did this time is unforgivable. From now on, I, Gu Jianghai, will act as if I never had such a sister," Gu Jianghai declared, his nature straightforward, his senses of love and hate clear. Gu Hengniang had truly hurt him today, and he was done with her.
Gu Ya had already cut ties with Gu Hengniang today, and Gu Jianghai had no intention of acknowledging such a toxic sister ever again. Su Yunjin wholeheartedly agreed; the less they had to do with someone like Gu Hengniang, the better.
