Rebirth: Divine Doctor, Sweet Wife

Panda Novel

Gu Qingyao could not hide the smile lurking at the corner of her lips.

She could not help it. Girls just liked sweet talk, and Gu Qingyao was no exception. Everyone enjoyed being cajoled by the person they liked. Gu Qingyao was delighted that Mo Beihan was treating her like this!

“I… I’ve reached my place!”

They had been walking along a common stretch of road, and then they should have gone their separate ways. But Mo Beihan had continued walking with her until he had sent her all the way home.

Mo Beihan handed the basket to her and said, “I have to attend to some matters for the next few days. When I’m ready, I’ll come for you and we can go up the mountain together.”

“Mhm!”

She entered the gate and turned to close it. Mo Beihan was still standing there, silhouetted against the setting sun. She faced the light and the rays of the sinking sun fell on her delicate and tranquil face. She looked charming.

As he looked at this attractive young girl, he wished he could draw her into his arms and cherish her. She would finally belong to him in this lifetime!

…

Gu Qingyao returned to find that Gu Ruoqing and Zhang Xiaohui were home. They were in their room, talking about something.

Gu Qingyao’s lips twitched, but she went to her own room without saying anything.

Her grandparents were still working in the cowshed and had not yet returned. After some thought, Gu Qingyao went to look for her grandparents.

It was already evening, and it was time for dinner. Gu Qingyao would bring them something to eat.

Half an hour later, Gu Qingyao returned to her own room and sat on the bed, knitting.

She was knitting two sweaters for Mo Beihan. One was black and the other was gray.

The black one was already completed. The gray one only lacked its sleeves.

When it was almost dark, she went to the kitchen to boil water. Her grandparents returned just as the water boiled. After Gu Conghua and Wen Ruyu washed up, they went straight back to their room to rest.

Gu Qingyao tidied the kitchen and brought some water back to her room. She went straight to bed after a wash.

Zhang Xiaohui and Gu Ruoqing were surprised to see that all was quiet outside. They came out to take a look. There was no one in the kitchen. They rushed in and found there was nothing to eat, and no hot water either!

Gu Ruoqing was shocked. “This… Mother, where’s our dinner?”

They had been chatting in the room, waiting for Gu Qingyao to come back and make dinner! When Gu Conghua and Wen Ruyu returned, they assumed that Gu Qingyao would soon call them to dinner. But they had waited and waited, and now that they came out to take a look, they realized the pots were empty. Everyone had gone to bed.

Zhang Xiaohui was infuriated. “How disgusting. That little bitch is getting more and more out of hand. She’s not even cooking dinner!”

Zhang Xiaohui angrily ran to pound on Gu Qingyao’s room door. “Gu Qingyao, come out and cook dinner for me right now.”

With Gu Yunshen away, Zhang Xiaohui was not afraid of anyone, and she had become very bold.

Gu Qingyao lay on her bed. Her lips arched as she grunted coldly. She knew that Zhang Xiaohui would certainly make trouble.

“What’s the matter?” she shouted impatiently. “It’s dark. What else is there to do except sleep?”

Zhang Xiaohui was outraged. “How can you sleep without eating dinner? Get up!”

“We don’t have enough food, so we’re not eating dinner. Anyway, you don’t work at all. Why do you need so much food? Many of the families in the brigade are only eating one meal a day now. What is there to eat? Go to sleep. We’ll talk about it tomorrow.”

Zhang Xiaohui: “…”

Gu Ruoqing: “…”

“Come out! Come out right now…”

No matter how hard Zhang Xiaohui pounded on her door, Gu Qingyao remained silent. Anyway, there was no food in the kitchen. Zhang Xiaohui did not dare to smash anything there, so Gu Qingyao was not worried.
