“Go home. In the future, don’t eat anything that woman gives you.”
Gu Ye was too lazy to watch the show, so rode his bike away and said to those brothers.
He was going to work a night shift last night. Before going to work, he had to prepare meals for the two children. He also asked Xu Bilian to warm them up for the two children to eat at night. But this woman was too lazy to even move. She just gave the food from the refrigerator to the two children directly. Dabao was fine, but Xiaobao was in a mess. Fortunately, it was not too serious. He was fine after taking medicine.
All of the goddamn things that Xu Bilian had done to the two children, Gu Ye remembered all of them. This time he planned to settle all the accounts together.
“Understood.”
The brothers answered obediently. Zhou Dabao couldn’t help asking, “Uncle Gu, are you going to retire (xiu)1 that woman?”
1xiu (休) : the meaning is also a divorce. But it was usually used in ancient times, to divorce a wife or retire a wife, generally whoever had the ability had the final say, and the divorce was not in an equal status
The woman in his mouth was Xu Bilian. At first, he politely called her auntie, but Xu Bilian was not good to him and his younger brother. So Zhou Dabao was too lazy to call her. He just called her ‘that woman’.
“It’s a divorce (lihun)2. Now it’s a new society, not retire (xiu).” Gu Ye corrected.
2li hun (离婚) : the meaning is a divorce. It is used in this modern society. As in modern society, the status of men and women gradually become more equal, not like in ancient times.
No matter how much he disliked Xu Bilian, he couldn’t use the word ‘retire’. It was too disrespectful to women.
Zhou Dabao thought for a moment and then asked, “Do you want to marry Aunt Chu Qiao?”
Uncle Gu looked like he couldn’t wait to look at the pretty auntie just now. Even the dogs on the roadside would know his mind.
Gu Ye’s face was hot, and he was a little embarrassed. Could it be that even a little child could see his mind?
“What do you, a little kid, care so much about? Just go back to study, you will be in the second grade soon. If you don’t study well, I will beat your ass!”
Gu Ye scolded fiercely. He was a little angry because he was ashamed. Zhou Dabao in the back seat rolled his eyes. Every time adults couldn’t win a debate, they would talk about studying, which was really annoying.
Zhou Xiaobao on the front bar said, “I like the pretty sister.”
The pretty sister’s snacks were really delicious, and she looked so good when she smiled, just like a fairy in the sky, her body was also fragrant. He liked it.
“‘Call her Auntie.” Gu Ye corrected.
“Sister.”
Xiaobao snorted and shouted stubbornly. He liked to call her sister, not auntie.
“Stinky boy, you are so impolite!”
Gu Ye was annoyed. He raised his hand and gave the little boy a shudder. He didn’t even use any strength. Xiaobao screamed. Gu Ye laughed loudly and rang the bell again to remind the pedestrians ahead to make way.
The laughter of three of them, together with the sound of the bell, slowly faded away. But the men and women on the opposite road were still quarreling.
“Jianshe ge, why do you want to date other women? I will divorce Gu Ye.” Xu Bilian was very aggrieved. Even though Gu Jianshe didn’t like Chu Qiao, she was still unhappy.
Because Gu Jianshe was still going on a blind date with another woman, even after sweet talking to her in bed yesterday and doing those bashful things. Xu Bilian didn’t blame Gu Jianshe for being ruthless, but she only blamed the seductress for being too despicable.
Gu Jianshe was extremely impatient, but he tried not to show any signs of it. He smiled gently and said softly, “Bilian, I am also powerlessly forced. Even if you got a divorce, Grandpa won’t agree with us. You married Gu Ye, who is my uncle. I have to call you aunt. Not only would my grandfather disagree, your grandfather wouldn’t agree as well.”
Although he liked Xu Bilian’s enthusiasm on the bed, it was nothing more than that. Marrying her is impossible. He wouldn’t do things that will ruin his future. Only a fool would do things, such as marrying his ex-aunt!
