Chapter 493: Finding A Generous Patron
Mo Beihan grew even warier as he saw the girl’s calculating expression. His own expression grew chilly.
There was a hint of a cold smile on his lips when he said, “As far as I know, you and Yao Yao aren’t really friends! Your parents have had such a bad fight, you should stay home and take care of your mother!”
With that, Mo Beihan walked off.
Sun Mei’s expression stiffened!
“I... sigh...”
Everyone was surprised by her panicked expression.
Sun Mei was not on good terms with Gu Qingyao. She had always been trying to please Gu Ruoqing!
Everyone knew that.
Now, her mother had been beaten so badly, and she wanted to look for Gu Qingyao for a chat?
Wasn’t that strange?
Sun Mei’s expression grew even stiffer when she saw everyone’s looks.
But she had no choice. She must find a way to marry into the Gu family as quickly as possible.
Her family had nothing left. Her life would be unpleasant if she remained with them. Now her grandparents lived with them too and someone had to take care of them. Her parents fought every day and her four older brothers did not do anything.
Who would do all the housework?
All this had just happened, but Sun Mei could predict what her future would soon be like.
Laundry, cooking, everyone’s clothes, taking care of her grandparents. When her mother could not complete these household tasks herself, she would certainly have to help.
She had never suffered in her life. In the past, her family had lacked for nothing and everyone had doted on her. But now...
They barely had enough food. Who would dote on her?
The spring planting was about to begin, and everyone would have to go down to the fields to earn work points. Then all the housework would fall on her. What would she do?
What worried her the most was if her brothers married. If her family grew desperate, she was afraid they might casually marry her off in exchange for some resources.
She must marry into the Gu family as soon as possible so that she could have a good life.
Mo Beihan was now a long way away. With her own parents fighting like that, Sun Mei was too embarrassed to simply go over, so she brought her parents home before starting for the Gu house.
When Mo Beihan reached the Gu house, he put the things down.
When Gu Fangting saw that Mo Beihan had brought them so many nice things again, she gave him a thumbs-up. “Brother-in-law, you’re so capable!”
In these times, only a capable man could produce so many things.
Most importantly, Mo Beihan could bear to part with them, which showed that he had even more than that.
Mo Beihan smiled. This girl was so likable!
She kept calling him ‘Brother-in-law’, which pleased him.
Mo Beihan smiled and took a packet of beef jerky out of his coat and handed it to Gu Fangting.
“For you. It’s the new year, so I’m giving you some snacks.”
Gu Fangting’s eyes brightened. She thought it was just a simple snack! But when she opened it and saw that it was beef jerky, she was shocked!
“This... Brother-in-law...”
Mo Beihan laughed at her shocked expression. “Don’t tell anyone! Hide it and eat it yourself.”
In these times, meat was very rare, much less beef jerky, which was just a snack. Who would be so extravagant as to use beef jerky as a snack?
Gu Fangting was shocked by Mo Beihan’s generosity!
Mo Beihan said, “This is for you. There are some other snacks in the parcel which you can share with Little Six and Little Nine. I have other things for your older sister. Where is she?”
Gu Fangting gulped. “She’s in her room! I think she’s making clothes.”
Mo Beihan went to look for Gu Qingyao.
