Chapter 37: Returning Home at Night_1

Gu Xiaobei couldn't just stay silent, so he had to console Chen Qiumei, "Mom, don't be angry anymore. It's not like my brother doesn't care about you. Dad's home alone, you should go back and see him."

Chen Qiumei cried, and then fell silent. Gu Xiaodong was also extremely frustrated. After sitting for a while without saying goodbye, he got up and left.

Gu Xiaobei wanted to leave too, but he was afraid that if he did, mother and daughter-in-law might start quarreling again.

Chen Qiumei stopped crying when she saw her son leave and said angrily, "If I go back like this and people ask me if I have a grandson yet, won't the neighbors laugh at me?"

Gu Xiaobei stopped persuading and just leaned on the sofa. After all, his stepmother was like an indestructible cockroach, bound to bounce back in no time.

Sure enough, before long, Chen Qiumei said, "I don't know if your brother will come back for dinner tonight, I'd better go buy some groceries."
