Chapter 81: Being kicked out

Because it was the staff dormitory of the supply and marketing cooperative, the distance was not far, and the grandparents and grandchildren arrived there in no time.

In Gu Wan's opinion, this house is very shabby, but at least it is a brick and tile house, which is much better than the adobe house in the countryside.

It’s no wonder that people are proud of being city dwellers these days. After all, living conditions in county towns are better than in the countryside.

But in Gu Wan's eyes, this narrow tube-shaped building cannot be compared with the large mansions with independent entrances in the countryside.

This tube-shaped building has a total of six floors. They had already inquired before and found out that Gu Xiang lives on the third floor.

After going upstairs, I saw a long corridor with several doors at a glance, and there was a table in front of each door.

There are cooking pots or bowls and chopsticks on the table, and honeycomb coal stoves and other things under the table.

Most of the people in the county town use coal stoves, which are more convenient for boiling water than earthen stoves in the countryside.

I heard that many girls live in one room in the dormitory. Do they have to live and cook for themselves?
The grandparents looked at each other, unable to imagine that Gu Xiang actually lived here now.

There is a public washing pool next to the stairs, which should be a place for people living here to use water together. Then there is the public toilet, which is shared by all...

The two of them had just stopped and hadn't observed for a while when they saw Gu Xiang walking out of the innermost room.

He was holding a bowl with rice in it, as if he was going to wash the rice and cook it?
But the first person he saw was his mother. Not only was she an old lady, but she also brought her niece, whom Gu Xiang had only met once.

The surprise on Gu Xiang's face was very obvious, and she immediately stepped forward, "Mom, Wanwan, why are you here?"

What a pity, in contrast to her happiness, the old lady's face was terribly gloomy.

Shi Guixiang was really angry, even though she didn't know what was going on.

One thing is obvious: there are problems in my daughter's marriage.

But such a serious thing happened to her that she didn't even live in the Sun family anymore. Why didn't she tell her family members a single word of this?

Did Gu Xiang also feel that her family members were from the countryside and had no abilities, so she didn't want to tell them when something happened?
I don’t know if it was because she was holding back her anger, but the old lady thought more and more that it was weird. She almost felt that her daughter was not her own family and had been lost to someone else.

So when faced with Gu Xiang's smiling face, Shi Guixiang glared at her unhappily, "Why are you living in the staff dormitory?"

As a result, Gu Xiang fell silent for a moment.

Seeing that she was still in this state, Shi Guixiang became even angrier and shouted, "Gu Xiang, I don't think you regard me as your mother, do you? Tell me the truth, what happened between you and your uncle? Why did he drive you out?"

"No." Gu Xiang waved her hands repeatedly, "No, I want to live in the dormitory building on my own, so it will be convenient for me to go to work."

Bullshit, the old lady didn't believe a word her daughter said.

I have been living in Sun's house and working in the supply and marketing cooperative for several years. Why do I suddenly feel it is inconvenient?
"What time is it now? Did you have lunch or dinner?"

"I don't have work in the afternoon anyway, so it doesn't matter if I have lunch later."

Then she wouldn’t have to eat at night, and every meal she could save was a good one. However, Gu Xiang just kept this to herself.

There were people coming and going here, especially in Gu Xiang's dormitory where someone was resting.

Now, hearing the old lady's loud voice, he became unhappy and muttered a few unpleasant words.

Gu Xiang quickly apologized, this was indeed not the place to talk as there were too many people and too many gossips.

She simply packed up and took the old lady and her niece out of the building. But standing on the street in the county town, Gu Xiang was a little confused and didn't know where to take them to talk.

The most important thing is that she only has a few cents left and it is still several days before this month's salary is paid.

Gu Xiang suddenly felt a little uncomfortable when she thought about it. She felt that she had lived in vain for the past twenty years!

In fact, she has been married and lived in the county town for several years, but after getting married, she has to work during the day.

When she returned home in the evening, her parents-in-law, husband, sister-in-law, and the whole family were waiting for her to serve them.

Everyone in the village said that she was lucky to have married into the county town, and her in-laws also arranged a job for her, a stable job.

But is your life good?
Gu Xiang, who was standing on the street, was so confused that she didn't know how to distinguish the matter. The main reason was that she herself didn't understand why her marriage had become like this.

Including the county town where she had lived for several years, she was actually not familiar with it at all.

Gu Xiang had neither the time nor the opportunity to wander around the county town as she had little money.

When Sun Qiwen first wanted to marry Gu Xiang, his parents did not agree at all.

After all, Gu Xiang was from the countryside. Even though she was a rare girl in the countryside who graduated from junior high school, she was still a lowly country girl in the eyes of the old couple of the Sun family.

Unable to resist their son's liking for her, and knowing that there was no other girl of the right age who was better than Gu Xiang and suitable for Sun Qiwen, the two elders had no choice but to accept it.

Not only did he agree to their marriage, Sun's father also used his connections to arrange a job for Gu Xiang at the supply and marketing cooperative.

But because of this, Sun's mother felt that Gu Xiang was marrying above her station, and not only did she have to hand over her monthly salary as soon as she entered the family.

She did not slacken any housework, but the whole family looked down on Gu Xiang and bullied her in various ways.

At the beginning, with Sun Qiwen's protection, she was able to live a good life. At that time, Gu Xiang was content with love.

On the contrary, the sister-in-law of the Sun family, who is about the same age as Gu Xiang, works in a food factory.

As a result, every day when she came home she kept complaining about being exhausted. Not only did she not cook, but even Gu Xiang had to wash Sun Damei's clothes.

But Sun Damei's monthly salary is completely in her own hands.

Gu Xiang lived like this for several years. Not only did she not have a penny, but for various reasons, she rarely slept with Sun Qiwen.

They have been married for several years but still have no children. Naturally, it is Gu Xiang's fault. She is often pointed at by Sun's mother and scolded as a hen that can't lay eggs.

Sometimes she feels aggrieved. It is the same as having no man at all. It would be strange if she could have a child.

Gu Xiang didn't know how to tell her mother about this.

In fact, when she first started dating Sun Qiwen, her mother advised her that although city boys might look easy to marry, life might not be easy for them.

At that time, Gu Xiang was young and ignorant, and he had a quarrel with his parents.

She even said to her mother viciously: "Mom, your daughter is going to marry in the city and you still say such things. Don't you want to see your daughter marry well?"

Her mother also had a stubborn temper, and because her parents-in-law always looked down on people, her parents would never go to the Sun family for a drink of tea even if they went to the county town.

As it turned out, what her mother said was right. A country girl would not have a good life after marrying into a county town, and she was driven out by her husband's family.
