Nianyang's dark eyes flickered. She glanced at Gu Yuandao, who was engrossed in his porridge and had no intention of speaking up for Nianyang.
It seemed that the Host's father was even more indifferent to the Host than she had imagined. She had thought that after the beating yesterday, no matter how much he ignored his youngest daughter, he still had to put on a show. Who knew that he would still not change?
Seeing that Nianyang lowered her head and did not speak like before, Wang Ying was certain that Nianyang was still the soft bun that she could torture. She said even more arrogantly, "You brat, don't think that you can continue to study in Year Three next semester just because you complained in front of everyone yesterday. Don't even think about it with your stupid brain. We won't spend a single cent on you. Go and withdraw from school on another day. As for the things you asked for from your sister yesterday, I'll return them to her later. You're just a vulgar wild girl. You're not worthy of using the same things as your sister…"
Before she could finish speaking, the dining table in front of her was kicked to the ground by Nianyang. Gu Youlan screamed in fear and the half-peeled egg in her hand fell to the ground and smashed into pieces.
Nianyang clapped her hands. "Since you didn't prepare breakfast for me, then let's all not eat!"
Looking at the mess on the ground, Gu Yuandao, Gu Youlan, and Wang Ying stared at Nianyang in shock. Was she possessed?
Their second daughter, who had always been weak and useless and had been controlled by them, suddenly became such a shrew?
If not for the familiar face in front of them, they would really think that the girl in front of them was a different person!
"Little b*stard, you're going against the heavens, aren't you? I'll beat you to death today!"
When she came back to her senses, Wang Ying's eyes turned red. She grabbed the broom and pounced over, wanting to hit Nianyang. The ground was covered in food that was worth a few yuan. It was ruined by the jinx just like that. Her heart ached!
Nianyang smiled and stood rooted to the ground. "Okay, Mom, if you want to hit me, hit me. As long as you dare to touch a single strand of my hair, I'll immediately go out and tell the neighbors that not only are you not giving me food, but you're also hitting me—"
With that, Nianyang blinked her big innocent eyes and looked at Gu Yuandao. "Dad, if the neighbors know that you let my mother bully me like this, do you think you can continue working in the factory?!"
Gu Yuandao's face turned pale when he heard this. He required the mayor's help to get his job at the factory, and the mayor was in charge of managing the order of disputes in the countryside. The most taboo thing was family discord. If the mayor found out that their family did not give their youngest daughter food and even hit her, he would definitely not be able to keep his job!
"Enough, b*tch, stop!" Seeing that the broom was about to land on Nianyang, Gu Yuandao quickly reached out and snatched it from Wang Ying's hand.
Wang Ying looked like she wanted to eat someone up. "Old Gu, didn't you see that this wild girl spilled our food? You risked your life to earn it. This wretched girl didn't give us a single cent and still dares to waste food. Why aren't you helping me teach her a lesson? Why are you stopping me?"
Nianyang provoked, "Dad, why does Mom keep calling me a wild girl? Doesn't a wild girl mean a child without a father? Isn't Mom cursing you?"
Gu Yuandao's face darkened instantly. Wang Ying was so angry that she was about to go crazy. She raised her hand at Nianyang. "Wretched girl, what nonsense are you talking about? How dare you sow discord? I'll kill you…"
Gu Yuandao glared at her and growled, "From now on, if you dare to touch a single strand of Yangyang's hair, I'll divorce you!"
Wang Ying's face instantly turned pale with fear. In this day and age, divorced women would drown in spittle. Old Gu actually wanted to divorce her to protect the jinx?
Gu Youlan bit her lip and thought, 'Gu Nianyang has really changed. She actually dared to sow discord between my parents. Will I still be able to get any benefits from Gu Nianyang in the future?'
Seeing that Wang Ying had settled down, Gu Yuandao turned to Nianyang and said, "Yangyang, Dad has already helped you teach your mother a lesson. From now on, you'll have food every morning. Don't tell anyone about what happened just now. Be good."
Nianyang agreed obediently, but she was thinking about a problem.
This Wang Ying hated the Host because she had suffered a lot when the Host was born and because she lost her family's land. But why did Gu Yuandao ignore the Host so much?
Even if the Host was not as smart as Gu Youlan, she was still his flesh and blood. There was no reason for him to be so heartless as to let his eldest daughter eat and drink well and let his youngest daughter be worse than pigs and dogs.
Could it be that the original owner of the body was not a child of the Gu family?
The reason why Nianyang thought that way was because she could tell that Wang Ying was a little aggressive. She was indeed a feudal woman. She would not have cheated on Gu Yuandao, let alone raise someone else's child.
Therefore, the only explanation was that Nianyang might have been adopted by Gu Yuandao behind Wang Ying's back. After all, when Wang Ying gave birth to the original owner, it was difficult for her to give birth. At that time, it was very easy for the child to die. Perhaps Wang Ying's original child was already gone. The prideful Gu Yuandao brought back someone else's child to avoid being criticized.
However, these were just guesses. If she wanted to know the truth, she could only do a paternity test by refining medicine when she earned ten health points and could use the laboratory.
"Someone, come quickly. Widow Jin's son has been bitten by a poisonous snake!" A panicked scream suddenly sounded outside the door. Then, the neighbors rushed out.
