Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
At the hospital, Gu Zi arrived carrying a thermos. She opened it to reveal a homemade crucian carp soup and some side dishes she had prepared for her parents to enjoy.
Mr. Lin expressed his desire to Gu Zi that he wanted to return home. He was not accustomed to the hospital environment and felt uneasy staying there. The fact that he was not earning money but instead spending a significant amount on hospital bills was unsettling for him.
He had spent his entire life laboring, providing for his family through the work of his own hands. Now, the inability to work and be active was terrifying to him. He believed that the sooner he was discharged, the sooner he would recover and be able to return to his normal routine.
Gu Zi comforted him, saying, “Stay a few more days. We need to ensure there are no other issues before you leave. Don’t worry about the money. Lin Cheng is working, and Su Shen and I are here too. Even if you don’t work in the future, it’s okay. Besides, if you leave the hospital before you’re fully recovered, it will cost even more. Mom, don’t you agree?”
Mrs. Lin, catching her daughter’s gaze, quickly agreed.

Just as they were enjoying their conversation, a commotion could be heard outside the ward.
Soon, the ward door was pushed open and a group of people walked in. Gu Shan and Zhang Mei were at the front, acting as if they were the righteous heads of the family. Lin Miao followed closely behind, a smirk playing on her lips as if she was enjoying a good show. Lin Laoyao, his wife, and Old Lady Lin trailed behind.
“Gu Zi, you’re really here. Let’s talk outside,” Gu Shan said as he approached Gu Zi.
Gu Zi looked at him with a slight frown, his self-righteous demeanor irking her. She calmly placed the freshly served soup in front of Mr. Lin before responding, “Uncle Gu, what do you want to discuss? Just say it.”
Su Le was startled by the sudden influx of people and rushed into Gu Zits arms. Gu Zi picked her up and patted her back to soothe her.
Gu Shan stared at Gu Zi for a moment before bluntly stating, “I intended to save you some face, but since you don’t seem to mind, I’ll just say it. Since ancient times, there has been no rule that a newlywed woman should be the head of the household. It’s a sign of lack of upbringing. Which woman doesn’t become the head of the household after enduring years as a daughter-in-law? You should let Su Shen call the police and settle this matter privately.”
Gu Shan believed that such family disputes should be resolved privately, so as to save face for everyone involved.
There are always some conflicts in a family, especially in large ones. Even if there are contradictions beneath the surface, everyone can tolerate them, right?
They should not tear each other apart publicly. Gu Zits actions were simply too disgraceful.
Especially considering that Gu Zi was raised in the city by the Gu family, wasn’t she bringing shame to the Gu family as well? They couldn’t allow her to continue this way.
For a moment, Gu Zi thought she had misheard. Was he trying to make decisions for her?
Gu Zi glanced at Lin Laoyao, who seemed to be playing the role of an innocent bystander.
She thought, her little uncle was indeed a good puppet master. He even thought of bringing the Gu family members to talk to her. This confirmed Gu Zi’s previous judgment of him.
Seeing Gu Zi being lectured, Lin Miao couldn’t help but feel pleased. She said to Gu Zi with a heartfelt tone, “Sister, Lin Jie may have been a bit stubborn and always bullied me when we were young, but he’s not a bad person. I’ve forgiven him. People can change. You should give Lin Jie a chance. Look at our little uncle and aunt, and our grandmother. How can you bear to let Lin Jie go to jail?”
Lin Miao’s words, filled with tears, seemed like the epitome of kindness in the eyes of Gu Shan, his wife, and the uninformed outsiders.
Even the nurse passing by after checking on the patient in the next bed couldn’t help but shake her head. She looked at Gu Zi with cold eyes, thinking how could such a beautiful woman be so cruel? Why was she so insistent on sending her cousin to jail? People really shouldn’t judge a book by its cover.
Zhang Mei handed Lin Miao a tissue to wipe her tears and also tried to persuade Gu Zi, “Little Zi, if you can spare someone, you should. Your cousin is the same age as you and is about to get married. If you send him to jail, you’ll ruin several families. What will your little uncle and aunt do? What about the
girl who’s about to get married to mmc Be Kina, child.”
Gu Zi looked at the Gu family couple, who were morally blackmailing her without distinguishing right from wrong. Her gaze gradually turned icy.
She really didn’t understand. They had raised the original owner, but did they even know what kind of person she was?
If they had even the slightest trust in the original owner, they wouldn’t have started accusing her.
At first, Gu Zi thought it was Lin Miao’s instigation that had estranged the Gu family couple from the original owner. But today, she seemed to understand
that it wasn’t the case..
