Chapter 2: Simply possessed by a ghost

"Mother, does your head hurt?" Gu Da Cai felt his mother's expression was very strange, thinking her head had been broken, and his face was full of worry.

He was just over five years old, his face was thin and small, there wasn't two taels of meat on his body, and his sleeves and knees were covered in large patches. This attire was very common in this era and wasn't a problem, but to Lin Zhao after awakening, it was evidence that she had treated her son poorly.

Lin Zhao felt that she, before awakening, must have had water in her brain. Holding Gu Chenghuai's bankbook and receiving a "large sum" of allowance every month, she couldn't bear to spend it, raising her cubs like this. She really deserved to die.

And this room, not only did it shed dust every day, but there was nothing valuable in it. Except for not leaking wind, even a thief would be too lazy to enter. Before she got married, she wasn't someone who couldn't bear to spend money. How did she become so stingy after giving birth to cubs?!

Lin Zhao simply despised herself to death!!

She was bursting with maternal love right now, feeling that her cubs were good everywhere, and touched Gu Da Cai's face, which had no meat on it.

"It doesn't hurt, Mother is fine."

What good cubs! In this life, she must make her cubs happy and joyful, let them have a beautiful childhood, and become the most handsome cubs in the whole commune!

Gu Da Cai widened his eyes. Mother touched his face; did Mother like him now...?

The little guy blushed with happiness, looked at Lin Zhao, and the corners of his mouth secretly curled up, like a little cat that had stolen a dried fish.

Gu Da Cai endured his shyness and asked: "Mother, are you hungry?"

Lin Zhao had a headache and no appetite, so she shook her head: "It's okay, where is Ercai?"

"Ercai is coaxing the younger brother and sister." The boy-girl twins, who were over a year old, were taken care of by Gu Da Cai and Ercai. Gu Da Cai didn't feel anything was wrong.

Lin Zhao felt ashamed.

She was really not a qualified mother. Before awakening, she must have been possessed by some strange thing!

"Let's go, let's go see."

Gu Da Cai was full of doubts, but since Mother cared about his younger brother and sister, he was still very happy.

While things were harmonious here, the Gu family's old house was turned upside down—

Gu Mu returned home and told the whole family about the demands Lin Zhao made.

Gu Xing'er exploded instantly, saying excitedly and angrily: "Why does that woman have the right? That's my third brother's money; why doesn't she have the right to spend it on me! I want to tell my third brother that his wife is bullying his own sister!"

Of the three conditions, she could endure the other two, but she couldn't endure the one about not giving her money.

Gu Mu had wiped Gu Xing'er's butt many times over the years and was truly tired. She followed up: "Go, go now. Call, send a telegram, tell your third brother that you pushed his wife and the mother of his children to the ground, pushed a big bump on her head. Go tell him."

Gu Xing'er didn't dare to go. Her third brother changed after marrying that demon Lin Zhao and was no longer the third brother who pampered her in everything.

"Mother, I'm the one you gave birth to." Gu Xing'er was full of grievances and argued loudly, unconvinced: "Lin Zhao is my third sister-in-law; what's wrong with me eating a bowl of her egg custard? It's that fox spirit's fault for not giving it to me; she deserves to hit the wall."

Before she finished shouting, only a slap sound was heard. Gu Mu gave her a big slap, slapping her face to the side, and a red slap print appeared on her face, which was still considered fair.

Gu Mu was so angry that she couldn't stop herself from spitting out whatever came to mind.

Was the word "fox spirit" something that could be said out loud? Did she want to be taken away!?

At this time, Gu Fu, who had always been silent, stiffened his face and said coldly: "You've studied until it went into a dog's stomach! You don't need to go to school anymore; come back and work!" He made the final decision.

"Mother, you hit me; Father, you won't let me go to school; I hate you!" Gu Xing'er shouted, ran back to her room, and cried very loudly, cursing with unclean words.

Gu Fu was extremely angry: "Let her go hungry for two days; no one is allowed to send her food."

He looked at Gu Mu: "Especially you."

"The school couldn't teach her how to be a person, so we will teach her!" Gu Fu was both disappointed and heartbroken.

Gu Eldest Sister-in-law Huang Xiulan and Gu Er Sister-in-law Zhao Liuniang were cleaning the kitchen, their hands busy without stopping. Gu Er Sister-in-law couldn't help but say: "Eldest Sister-in-law, do you think Little Sister-in-law can still go to school?"

Huang Xiulan glanced outside and whispered: "I'm afraid it's difficult."

It was the first time the mother-in-law had slapped a younger generation; it seemed she was truly angry. When an honest person gets angry, it's quite scary.

Zhao Liuniang laughed gloatingly, feeling from the bottom of her heart that the little sister-in-law was stupid: "It's right not to go to school. With that brain of hers, even if she went for another hundred years, it would be useless."

"Restrain yourself." Huang Xiulan reminded her. After all, she was the biological daughter of the father-in-law and mother-in-law. The two old people could say whatever they wanted, but they couldn't.

Zhao Liuniang stopped talking and washed the bowls with plant ash, humming a little tune, in a very good mood.

?

Gu family's third branch earthen house.

Lin Zhao entered the cubs' room. As soon as her right foot stepped in, dust fell from the ceiling, coincidentally landing on her head.

"..."

Speechless.

Lin Zhao brushed the dust off her hair with her hand, confirming once again that she must have been possessed by a ghost before awakening.

Even before she got married, when her maiden family was poor as a church mouse, she would have demanded her father find a way to make the house look decent, and would never have been so sloppy.

These few years were truly like a dream.

Ercai saw that his mother actually came to their room, showing doubts, and looked at his big brother.

Gu Da Cai's attention was all on his mother, and he didn't see his younger brother's expectant gaze.

Ercai slid off the bed and walked to Gu Da Cai's side. Without looking at Lin Zhao, he talked to his brother: "Brother, why did she come to our room?"

These few years, the twins were raised by Gu Mu. Lin Zhao didn't pay much attention to them, and the children weren't very close to her. But children are born to cling to their mothers. When Lin Zhao was injured, they protected her the first time. When a mother gives them a slightly better look, they can't help but want to get close to her.

Lin Zhao heard Ercai's question and reached out to pull his cheek hard, pulling Ercai until he wailed.

"Mother!" Considering the sleeping younger brother and sister, Ercai wanted to shout loudly but held it back. The child was so angry that his face turned red, but he was dark, so it wasn't very visible.

"What kind of small talk are you saying, and behind my back too." Lin Zhao bent down halfway and asked with a smile.

The moment she let go, Ercai pushed her angrily. After all, remembering that his mother was injured today, he didn't use force, snorted angrily, and ran out the door.

Gu Da Cai had a good relationship with his younger brother and was afraid Lin Zhao would be angry, so he hurriedly explained for Ercai: "Mother, don't be angry with Ercai; Ercai didn't mean it."

Lin Zhao waved her hand, still smiling: "The angry Ercai is really cute."

Gu Da Cai stood frozen in place, reacting that his mother was praising Ercai for being cute. His little heart felt a bit stuffy; Mother hadn't praised him yet...

Lin Zhao didn't notice Gu Da Cai's emotions and walked near the wooden bed. The bedding on the bed was black, and the thin blanket covering the twins was colorful, made of different colored cloths stitched together, with yellow stains on it.

"The third and fourth cubs are about to stink." She said.

Ercai, who had taken two sweet potatoes from the stove, heard this and glared at Lin Zhao angrily, a flash of fragility in his eyes, and said loudly: "Grandma is working, no time to help us wash, you don't care about us, but you're not allowed to dislike us!"

After being fierce, he felt regretful, stiffened his neck, and confronted her with red eyes.
