CHAPTER 362: CHAPTER 362: VAMPIRE

The only place Gu Chunxia could run to was her mother’s home. Zhao Jianshe had followed her all the way here, and although he had prepared himself mentally, seeing Gu Chunxia beaten like this still pained him as if something was tugging at his heart.

When he saw the injuries on his son’s back, Zhao Jianshe’s eyes turned red.

"Alright, let’s sleep for now," Gu Chunhai said, seeing him like this felt somewhat satisfying, but everything depended on Zhao Jianshe’s plans the next day.

A calm night allowed him to quietly consider how to handle the situation moving forward.

This was also a chance given by Gu Chunhai to Zhao Jianshe.

By the next morning, Gu Lingling and Zhao Jingmiao had already prepared breakfast early. Zhao Jianshe hadn’t slept all night, with panda eyes he attended to Old Sir Gu’s washing up, and helped Gu Chunxia wash up as well.

Old Sir Gu’s attitude toward him was decent; after all, this son-in-law used to and still behaves pretty well.

After breakfast, Zhao Xuefei was sent to rest in a room on the side. Gu Lingling and Zhao Jingmiao tidied up the kitchen, while Gu Chunhai and others sat on Old Sir Gu’s kang to discuss matters.

"Tell us, what do you have in mind?" Gu Chunhai asked indifferently.

"I didn’t expect they would be so cruel," Zhao Jianshe said, squatting on the ground with his head buried, not getting on the kang.

"Now you know, what do you plan to do?" Gu Chunhai frowned at Zhao Jianshe, clearly displeased with his earlier remarks.

All these years, how could he not know what attitude his family had toward Gu Chunxia?

"Dad, Chunhai, don’t worry, I will never let Chunxia and the kids suffer again." Zhao Jianshe raised his red eyes and said, "I... after the New Year, we’ll separate from the family."

"What if your mother and brother disagree with the separation?" Gu Chunhai asked.

He had privately inquired with Zhao Jingmiao yesterday, finding out that this couple worked for the Zhao Family like old oxen from dawn to dusk without any reward. How could Old Mrs. Zhao and Zhao Jianfeng possibly agree to let them separate easily?

If the family split, who would they use as free labor?

"No matter what they say, I must separate this family," Zhao Jianshe said firmly. "If they don’t agree, I’ll go find the village chief and my great uncle to enforce the separation."

Each time Zhao Jianshe recalled this moment, he couldn’t help but marvel at it; it was precisely because of this assertiveness for the first time in his life that changed the fate of himself and his family.

This was the first time in his life from childhood to adulthood that he had made such a strong decision.

"Alright," Gu Chunhai said. "My sister can recuperate at my place first. Since the family separation is inevitable, there’s no difference between doing it sooner or later, no need to wait until after the New Year."

"You should stay here these few days, after the fifth day of the new year, I’ll go back with you and separate the family," Gu Chunhai said. "In the meantime, think about how to divide this family."

Zhao Jianshe was too honest, easily outmaneuvered by his scheming brother and sister-in-law, plus the utterly unreasonable Old Mrs. Zhao, going back was practically a death sentence for him.

That’s why he had to accompany him, and he had to help divide the family for his sister.

"Don’t worry," Gu Lingling said to Zhao Jingmiao from the kitchen. "This family will definitely split."

Zhao Jingmiao nodded, "Let’s hope so."

The people in their family were simply terrifying. If Second Uncle could help them separate the family, that would be great. Honestly, she was truly scared of going back to that home.

They’re like a bunch of vampires!
