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, âStay a few more days. We need to ensure there are no other issues before you leave. Donât worry about the money. Lin Cheng is working, and Su Shen and I are here too. Even if you donât work in the future, itâs okay. Besides, if you leave the hospital before youâre fully recovered, it will cost even more. Mom, donât you agree?â
Mrs. Lin, catching her daughterâs 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.
âGu Zi, youâre really here. Letâs talk outside,â 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, âUncle Gu, what do you want to discuss? Just say it.â
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, âI intended to save you some face, but since you donât seem to mind, Iâll just say it. Since ancient times, there has been no rule that a newlywed woman should be the head of the household. Itâs a sign of lack of upbringing. Which woman doesnât 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.â
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, wasnât she bringing shame to the Gu family as well? They couldnât 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 Ziâs previous judgment of him.
Seeing Gu Zi being lectured, Lin Miao couldnât help but feel pleased. She said to Gu Zi with a heartfelt tone, âSister, Lin Jie may have been a bit stubborn and always bullied me when we were young, but heâs not a bad person. Iâve 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?â
Lin Miaoâs 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 couldnât 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 shouldnât judge a book by its cover.
Zhang Mei handed Lin Miao a tissue to wipe her tears and also tried to persuade Gu Zi, âLittle 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, youâll ruin several families. What will your little uncle and aunt do? What about the
girl whoâs about to get married to mmc Be Kina, child.â
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 didnât 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 wouldnât have started accusing her.
At first, Gu Zi thought it was Lin Miaoâs instigation that had estranged the Gu family couple from the original owner. But today, she seemed to understand
that it wasnât the case..
