Wealthy Beauty in the 60s-Chapter 450 - 452: Go Ahead and Test the Limits of the Gao Family

"Mom, it was my mother-in-law who gave me these prescriptions, she must be trying to kill me to make room. If I die, Zhiguang will be free to marry another woman," Gao Yongfang wept bitterly.

"After Xiao Mei turned two, I told you that you’d have children eventually if you were healthy, but you were impatient and took random medications. Knowing your mother knows a thing or two about medicine, you should have at least brought them to me to see if they were safe. You don’t even trust your own mother anymore, and now she really can’t be concerning herself with whether you live or die."

Having said that, Zheng Xianghong waved her hand, "Go back. Your body’s already ruined, and I am powerless to help. If you don’t want to divorce, there’s nothing we can do for you. Don’t even think about relying on Jiazhi; Jiazhi doesn’t owe you anything and won’t do anything for you."

If only Gao Yongfang could stand up for herself and not disappoint her family like this, her parental home would never have stood by and watch her suffer domestic violence. Had they known Gao Yongfang was in such a state, they would have intervened at the Feng family long ago; they wouldn’t have allowed the Fengs to treat her this way.

Gao Jiazhi stood up and said, "Let me take you back."

Gao Yongfang looked at Gao Guoqiang and Zheng Xianghong kneeling and not following, begging as she kowtowed, "Dad, Mom, I beg you, I’m kowtowing to you. I don’t want to divorce Zhiguang, please help me."

Gao Yongfang was dragged away by Gao Jiazhi, but she kept turning back and shouting to her family, "Dad, Mom, sisters, I know you don’t understand me, but I will never divorce. I will not give Zhiguang a chance to marry another woman."

Everyone was speechless, watching Gao Jiazhi and Gao Yongfang leave.

And Gao Jiazhi, all the way back, tried to reason with Gao Yongfang, but she was stubborn; her unwavering thought was that alive she belonged to the Feng family, dead she would be a ghost of the Feng family. She even hoped Gao Jiazhi would back her up, just so she wouldn’t have to divorce, otherwise, she claimed she would die.

No matter how much Gao Jiazhi pleaded, it was in vain. Upon arriving at the Feng family’s place, they overheard the Fengs discussing how to divorce Gao Yongfang, utterly disregarding Xiao Mei at the side and saying some really nasty things about Gao Yongfang: "A hen that lays no eggs, a sow that births no piglets, worthless bitch, just get rid of her."

Hearing this enraged Gao Jiazhi, who couldn’t restrain himself and ended up beating Feng Zhiguang up.

The Feng family shouted out in shock, not expecting Gao Jiazhi to suddenly appear, glaring viciously at Gao Yongfang.

Gao Yongfang shrank back to the doorway, afraid the Feng family would hit her, but when she saw Gao Jiazhi fiercely beating Feng Zhiguang, she hurriedly yelled for him to stop.

The Feng family was also screaming and cursing, yet no one dared to intervene; Gao Jiazhi looked like he could handle himself, as he beat Feng Zhiguang who was howling in pain, even causing what sounded like a bone to break. 𝓯𝓻𝒆𝙚𝒘𝓮𝙗𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝒍.𝙘𝓸𝙢

The Feng family was clamoring to sue Gao Jiazhi for assault, crying outrage while Gao Yongfang, in contrast, rushed forward, pulling at Gao Jiazhi, "What are you doing hitting Zhiguang? He’s your brother-in-law, stop it right now!"

Gao Yongfang instead scolded Gao Jiazhi, angrily accusing him and even started hitting Gao Jiazhi herself.

The Feng family cursed at Gao Jiazhi, talking about calling someone to arrest him while Gao Yongfang joined them in denouncing Gao Jiazhi.

Gao Jiazhi said, "Fine, call someone to arrest me then. But I’d like to ask, who inflicted the injuries on my sister? Whoever did it will answer to me."

"This is none of your business, Jiazhi, you shouldn’t have beaten your brother-in-law like that, you’re too cruel, how could you do this." Gao Yongfang, supporting Feng Zhiguang, was pushed away by him, yet she still faced Gao Jiazhi with dissatisfaction.

Gao Jiazhi looked at Gao Yongfang in disbelief, it was she who had asked him to support her, and didn’t she feel anything about what the Feng family was saying about her?

"Are you deaf, or is your head filled with water? Didn’t you hear what they were saying about you?" Gao Jiazhi couldn’t believe it, even though he had felt that Gao Yongfang had changed a lot since marrying into the Feng family, he had never imagined she would change this completely.

Gao Yongfang sadly hung her head, looking every bit the sinner.

Gao Jiazhi now no longer wanted to hit Feng Zhiguang; he wanted to hit Gao Yongfang, to knock some sense into her. If Gao Yongfang were not his sister, if Gao Yongfang were not a woman, he might have actually hit her.

But now, looking at Gao Yongfang, Jiazhi felt completely powerless and said coldly to her, "Fine, I’m going back. Whether you live or die from now on has nothing to do with me."

Having said that, Gao Jiazhi looked sharply at the people of the Feng family and said, "The Gao family has ignored you all these years because you were considered insignificant. You can try it out, see what happens if she dies, or if anything happens to Xiao Mei. Just try to test the limits of the Gao family."

After finishing his words, Gao Jiazhi turned and left. Feng Zhiguang slapped Gao Yongfang across the face, to which she meekly did not dare utter a word. The Feng family said nothing, while her daughter Xiao Mei watched coldly, her face filled with indifference, as if everything that happened in the Feng family had nothing to do with her.

Now, Gao Yongfang’s daughter Xiao Mei was sixteen, but she had hardly attended school, and was now working as a temporary worker in a factory, her hands covered with thick calluses. Her gaze followed Gao Jiazhi’s retreating back but she did not chase after him.

The Feng family also knew that the Gao family nowadays was different from the past, so they did not press the issue, but they were not so friendly towards Gao Yongfang.

Especially knowing that Gao Yongfang had gone home to complain, Feng Zhiguang gave her another beating on the spot. Gao Yongfang was covered with bruises and still had to drag her injured body to the kitchen to cook.

Xiao Mei was already in the kitchen. The mother and daughter were now like servants of the Feng family, although Xiao Mei at least had a job in the factory, and the Feng family was considering marrying her off well, so they did not treat her like they did Gao Yongfang.

However, Xiao Mei had seen from a young age how her family treated her birth mother, and how her mother was so submissive. Without having given birth to a son, her head hung lower and lower, her spine never straightening, like a criminal in the household.

Being born into such a family, Xiao Mei had learned to be indifferent very early on, not just towards her grandparents and father but even towards Gao Yongfang, her mother, she felt little.

When Gao Yongfang entered the kitchen and saw Xiao Mei, she did not show the same submissive demeanor she had in front of the Feng elders and Feng Zhiguang. She confronted Xiao Mei directly, "You’re just starting to boil water now, what have you been eating? Dinner isn’t even ready, what’s the use of having a daughter like you?"

As soon as Gao Yongfang finished speaking, Xiao Mei did not talk back, and from outside the kitchen, Mrs. Feng spoke up, "A chicken that doesn’t lay eggs, what right do you have to scold my Feng family’s granddaughter? No matter how bad Xiao Mei is, it’s not your place, you chicken that doesn’t lay eggs, to discipline her."

Gao Yongfang immediately silenced herself, not daring to make a sound.

Xiao Mei looked at Gao Yongfang with a scornful expression. Her mother was always one to bully the weak and fear the strong, not daring to let out a peep in front of her grandparents and father, only yelling at her and taking out her frustrations on her.

As soon as Gao Yongfang saw her daughter’s expression, she glared and wanted to scold her, but mindful of the people outside the kitchen, she could only warn in a low voice, "You unfilial girl, I’m your mother. Do you look at your mother that way? Aren’t you afraid of being struck by lightning?"
