Chapter 126: Father Gu Is Back (5)
Gu Qingyao had secretly given Zhang Xiaohui something to drink, so she was more hot-tempered than usual. Together with her other symptoms like nausea and fatigue, one could immediately tell that these were signs of pregnancy.
She must make everyone realize this as soon as possible.
Once Father returned, Zhang Xiaohui would immediately ask for a divorce and marry Wang Guozhu shortly thereafter. Then when her pregnancy became apparent, she would not have to explain it.
At that moment, Zhang Xiaohui was extremely short-tempered. Coupled with the fact that Gu Yunshen still had not returned, she was growing truly impatient.
She seized Gu Qingyao’s braid in her hand. Actually, Gu Qingyao had already seen this coming, but did not resist. She pretended to be unable to react in time, but moved her head in the direction of Zhang Xiaohui’s pull, so that it did not hurt much.
But she still screamed.
“Ah... Mother... Mother...”
“Stop it!”
Mo Beihan was right there. He certainly would not permit Zhang Xiaohui to hit Gu Qingyao. The moment Zhang Xiaohui grabbed Gu Qingyao’s braid, Mo Beihan reached over and gripped Zhang Xiaohui’s wrist. Although he gripped her through her thick padded clothes, his force was so great that Zhang Xiaohui immediately let go.
“What are you doing?” Zhang Xiaohui immediately roared in pain.
Mo Beihan pulled Gu Qingyao behind him. “What are you doing? Yao Yao was not doing anything. Why did you hit her?”
“What business is it of yours if I hit my own daughter? Mo Beihan, aren’t you being a busybody? Why? Do you have your eye on this little girl?”
Zhang Xiaohui glanced at Gu Qingyao and snickered, “This girl is quite pretty. Her features are good and her waist is small enough. But she’s so young... What are you doing...”
As Zhang Xiaohui was speaking, Mo Beihan suddenly rushed over, grabbed her by the collar and lifted her off the ground. Zhang Xiaohui was so frightened she started screaming!
“Let me go... let me go...” Zhang Xiaohui was so frightened that she turned pale. She was with child!
This child was her only hope. If anything happened to it, how could she marry Wang Guozhu?
At that moment, Mo Beihan’s eyes glinted murderously. “What am I doing? Can I punch you? Zhang Xiaohui, I grew up with the Gu family brothers whom I treat as my own brothers and I treat the Gu family elders as my own elders. Who do you think you are to speak about me like that? How dare you?”
Mo Beihan was the most outstanding youth among the eight villages situated within ten kilometers of the brigade. His family background was good and he did outstanding work outside. He had no faults, except that he was the only one bearing the heavy burden of raising the two children in his family.
The Gu family had also done fairly well outside. But the Gu family’s greatest failing was its background, so they could not compare to Mo Beihan.
In the past, Mo Beihan had always treated everyone kindly, and was especially courteous towards the Gu family. He left the village to work soon after he reached adulthood. People in his hometown only knew that he was capable, but had never seen him so angry. They were shocked by his imposing manner!
Mo Beihan stood there, holding Zhang Xiaohui in the air with one hand. “You’re used to finding fault with everyone, aren’t you? How can you say such things about your own daughter? You must have a nasty mind to speak so brazenly. I think you’ve gotten into trouble outside. Now that you’re back in the brigade, you still can’t change your filthy nature!”
When Mo Beihan finished speaking, he angrily flung Zhang Xiaohui towards a nearby corner. When Zhang Xiaohui landed, she faltered and retreated a few steps. She only managed to recover her balance when she leaned against the wall. Her hand hovered protectively over her stomach...
