back to the past the rise of the false heiress marrying the true tycoon

Vixen

Aunt Chu rolled her eyes and ignored Gu Zi.

Seeing the two children eating quietly, Gu Zi’s expression turned stern, and she questioned in a cold voice, “The Su family invited you here to take care of the children, not to intimidate them!”

Aunt Chu originally did not want to argue with Gu Zi. She slammed her chopsticks onto the table, stood up, and pointed at Gu Zi’s face, saying, “You say I’m intimidating the children? If you’ve got the guts, show me some evidence. We live differently in the countryside; we’re not like you city folks, pampered and afraid of a little hardship!”

Gu Zi let out a cold chuckle and replied, “So, this is how you raise children in the countryside. Alright, I’ll remember that. When I meet your sons and grandsons, I’ll make sure to teach them the same way.”

“How dare you!” Aunt Chu was so angry that she raised her hand to slap Gu Zi’s face.

Gu Zi placed Lele on a chair at the side and raised her hand to deflect Aunt Chu’s hand. Without waiting for Aunt Chu to speak, she continued, “I’m only learning it from you. And when I see them, I’ll be sure to ask them if you also taught them how to commit murder.”

“You!” Aunt Chu was so angry that her lips were trembling. She had thought it through when she was cooking just now. No one had seen her bringing the dog in front of Gu Zi. As long as she refused to admit it, the crime of attempted murder would not be pinned on her. “You’re just talking nonsense. If you keep making baseless accusations, I’ll call the police!”

“Go ahead,” Gu Zi glanced at the dishes on the table and questioned, “I’m curious, Su Shen seems like someone who cares about the children. So why does he only provide them with this kind of food every day?”

“If you’re so great at cooking, do it yourself! Stop talking nonsense and don’t meddle in our affairs. I don’t want to talk to a vixen like you,” Aunt Chu snapped irritably.

“Thank you,” Gu Zi replied with a hint of sarcasm.

Aunt Chu was momentarily taken aback by Gu Zi’s thanks and responded in an annoyed tone, “I was insulting you.”

“I’m thanking you. After all, ugly people won’t be called vixens in their lives. Someone like you will at most be called piggy. In any case, even the pig would be insulted that you’re called after it.”

With that, Gu Zi turned and walked towards the kitchen, carrying Lele with her.

Aunt Chu was so angry that she threw her chopsticks on the ground and gritted her teeth as she looked at Gu Zi’s back.

She had heard about Lin Miao finding her biological parents and the families’ plans to exchange the children. Lin Miao’s biological family had come to take their biological daughter home, but she had refused to leave.

Aunt Chu could understand Gu Zi’s choice at that time. After all, she had become accustomed to a comfortable life, and no one wanted to endure hardships after enjoying a good life.

Gu Zi had a handsome appearance and fair skin. Just by looking at her delicate hands, it was clear she wasn’t accustomed to physical labor!

Su Shen must be out of his mind to marry a woman who couldn’t do anything!

Aunt Chu had intentionally cooked less food. If Gu Zi tried to compete with the children for their share, Aunt Chu would simply complain to Little Su. He would surely kick Gu Zi out of the house.

Aunt Chu sat back down smugly. Seeing that the two children were looking at her, she said unhappily, “What are you looking at? Hurry up and eat!”

Back in the kitchen, Gu Zi gently placed Lele in a chair and said with a tender smile, “Lele, be a good girl and wait here. Mommy will make you something delicious.”

Lele tilted her little head, her grape-like eyes blinking, making her look exceptionally cute.

Gu Zi’s heart immediately softened. How could this child be so sweet and adorable?

The kitchen was a mess, with a large pot on the left side of the stove, some rice and noodles nearby, and only salt, soy sauce, vinegar, with not even sugar for seasoning.

In a corner on the floor, there were some sprouting potatoes and a wilted cabbage.

Gu Zi furrowed her brow slightly. The Su family wasn’t lacking in money, so why were they raising children like this, with only these meager ingredients?

Gu Zi remembered that Su Shen had returned home briefly and left in a hurry after a few words. It seemed he had no time to care for the children.

She glanced around and her eyes fell on a basket in the corner.

Inside the basket, there was an overturned large bowl. When she opened it, she found a piece of pork belly and three eggs. She quickly took them out and discovered fine flour at the bottom.

Why are all these things in the basket?

Gu Zi thought of the food on the table again, and her eyes gradually darkened. It seemed that Aunt Chu had not been honest.

No wonder the three children were so skinny.

Gu Zi took a deep breath and looked towards the dining room, meeting Aunt Chu’s triumphant gaze.

Gu Zi took out the meat and was about to cut it when Aunt Chu ran in like the wind and shouted, “What are you doing?!”
