Back to the 60s: The Struggle Career of a Charmed Wife-Chapter 1690: Withered Wood Meets Spring 2

The onlookers unanimously looked at Shen Xiufen, who was still sitting on the ground and not getting up.

Feng Qingxue immediately noticed this phenomenon.

The person speaking ill of Dr. Gu turned out to be her daughter-in-law?

Disregarding her dusty appearance, she had a round, smooth oval face, with delicate eyebrows, bright red lips, and white clean skin. At first glance, she seemed like a refined and shy person, but who would have thought her words and behavior were so rude and unruly. Feng Qingxue also recalled the filthy language she used while insulting Dr. Gu earlier, it was truly unbearable to hear; it’s true that appearances can be deceiving.

"What are you looking at? What are you looking at?" Shen Xiufen spoke viciously, her pretty almond-shaped eyes flashing with acrimony as she glared at Dr. Gu, "Don’t expect us to take care of you in your old age!"

Before Gu Xiuying could speak, the bystanders were already displeased.

"Shen Xiufen, what kind of talk is that?"

"Exactly, Dr. Gu is your mother-in-law, she painstakingly raised her son to marry you into the family, aren’t you afraid of karma?"

"As a daughter-in-law, it’s not like you have a wicked mother-in-law, Dr. Gu has always been good to you all these years. Without her subsidies, could you be living so comfortably?"

Someone directly muttered, "The real daughter-in-law isn’t even as filial as the niece-in-law!"

Shen Xiufen cursed, "What business is it of yours? Who asked you to speak, aren’t you afraid your tongue will rot?"

Dr. Gu’s face was cold, with her back straighter. She never expected her son to forget his mother after getting a wife to take care of her, especially a daughter-in-law who didn’t come from her womb?

"Don’t worry, Shen Xiufen, I have the state to take care of me, I won’t starve!" Dr. Gu said word by word, each word like a knife, then turned to her little granddaughter, "Minmin, are you coming with me? Tomorrow I’ll go to work, you and your sister will go to school, live and eat with me. I’ll take care of you both until you are married, no need to tolerate hunger anymore."

Gu Min hugged her arm, her thin little face marked by fingerprints full of longing, "Grandma, I’ll go with you!"

Seeing a flash of relief in Dr. Gu’s eyes, Shen Xiufen flipped up from the ground, reaching out to grab Gu Min, "You damn girl, say one more word and see if I don’t peel your skin!"

Dr. Gu pulled Gu Min away from Shen Xiufen’s actions, with a gaze like ice and snow.

"Shen Xiufen, if you dare come any closer, believe that I’ll go straight to your mother’s house to demand money, no matter how much you’ve subsidized them over the years. Ten years ago they took five hundred yuan from me with a promissory note written in black and white!"

Shen Xiufen cowered a bit, her hands paused.

Dr. Gu snorted coldly, pulling Gu Min and Feng Qingxue as she walked into a two-story building near the entrance of the family quarters.

Feng Qingxue, full of questions, silently followed her into the gate. A middle-aged woman squatting and doing laundry immediately stood up, "Auntie, you’re back? Shen Xiufen didn’t bother you much, did she? I said I should come with you to pick up Minmin, but you wouldn’t let me."

Dr. Gu nodded and turned to Feng Qingxue, "Qingxue, this is my niece-in-law, called Xu Xiaoman. My nephew Gu Tian is older than both Lu Jiang and Gu Qing, just call her sister-in-law. I’m currently living at their house; once my work is settled, I’ll move to the dormitory, then we’ll be close."

"If you stay at the dorm, old Gu and I would be scolded to death; it’s not like our home doesn’t have a room for you," Xu Xiaoman said, then noticed the unfamiliar woman, quickly wiped her wet hands, her face marked by weather, dark and rough yet full of enthusiasm, "Auntie, who is this lady? I haven’t seen her before."
