It was impossible to keep the matter about Gao Huaihua a secret, especially from Gao Dachui. After all, he was the head of the family, and some decisions had to be made by him.
Sister Kui called Gao Dachui into the inner room and explained the situation to him. Gao Dachui exploded with anger at that moment. He took off his shoes and gave Gao Huaihua a thorough beating, shouting as he did so, "How can you be so shameless? Is this how your mother and I raised you? Huh? We work ourselves to the bone out there, and this is how you repay us? Tell me, who is that man? Just wait until I break his legs!"
"Calm down, Head of the Family. Keep your voice down," Sister Kui said, though she was also angry. She tried to persuade Gao Dachui to cool off. Although Gao Dachui was furious, he listened to Sister Kui and realized that things couldn't escalate any further.
The situation outside was tense, and they were particularly strict about misconduct. If someone got caught in a scandal, they would be exiled. This would also affect their son at home.
Gao Dachui's voice lowered, but the commotion had already attracted the attention of their neighbors in the courtyard. Especially Gao Huaihua's cries were loud enough for everyone to hear.
"Dachui! What’s going on? Why are you hitting the child?" Ji Baozhu, who lived next door, stood at her door and asked.
"Yeah, Dachui, what’s so hard that you can’t talk it out? Why resort to hitting the child?" Guihua Auntie chimed in. "Huaihua, come here to Auntie. Poor thing, you're already such a big girl; how can you still treat her like this?"
Sister Kui stepped out with a forced smile to explain to everyone, "It's just that the child isn’t listening and has upset her father."
In truth, everyone knew it wasn’t quite like that; they had all heard Gao Dachui's loud words earlier. After all, when he was furious, his voice could be heard from far away. Although he later lowered his tone after Sister Kui reminded him, in such a crowded courtyard, there was no way to keep things quiet. If someone sneezed inside their house, the neighbors could hear it.
Moreover, Gao Huaihua's retching sounds were unmistakable; people in the yard had seen it all happen. With Gao Huaihua's vomiting combined with Gao Dachui's explosive anger, everyone could easily guess what had transpired without needing any further details.
This was a serious matter; while everyone had their suspicions in their hearts, no one dared to speak out openly.
Only Zhou Xiaoying and Ke Xiaomei had some conflicts, and at this moment, seizing the opportunity, she whispered, "Who doesn't know? It's definitely that Gao Huaihua who shamelessly came back with a bastard child."
I had long seen that Gao Huaihua was not a good person, and now it was proven true. I wonder what face Ke Xiaomei has left to show off in front of me.
In fact, there was no deep-seated hatred between Zhou Xiaoying and Ke Xiaomei; their relationship had been quite good in the past. They were of similar age, and both had given birth to daughters initially. So in the entire courtyard, they often spent time together.
However, when Zhou Xiaoying had her third child and gave birth to another girl, Ke Xiaomei had a son. The gap between them suddenly became apparent.
Ke Xiaomei immediately felt proud and began to boast. Usually, she would avoid Han Shengnan, who had two sons next door, but now she would occasionally approach her to talk about how much her son could eat or how strong he was.
Heaven knows where she saw strength in her son who had just finished his confinement! Meanwhile, Zhou Xiaoying was unfortunate; she ended up having yet another daughter for her third child.
