The noisy music blared again, Zhu Yuzhen had turned the tape recorder back on and resumed her dance practice. 

Gu Jianshe dressed his younger son, put him back in the crib, and turned off the tape recorder once more.

This time, Zhu Yuzhen was completely enraged. 

“If you want to cause trouble, do it in your own house, don’t make a scene here! Go, go, go! take Xiaowen and Xiaowu with you! You say that I can’t raise them well, then you can just raise them yourself!”

Furious, Zhu Yuzhen shoved Gu Jianshe toward the door. 

She was thinking about how she was going to outshine that old hag at tomorrow’s dance practice, yet her son was holding her back. 

She had worked so hard to help him raise two grandsons and hadn’t even gotten a single ‘thank you’. And now he was blaming her for letting his wife die back then? 

Hmph! It was him who signed the papers himself! She’d only given a suggestion, and she wasn’t the one who made the final decision, so why should she take the blame? 

“You’ve lost your damn mind! All you care about every day is dancing, you ignore your grandsons, you don’t cook, you don’t do housework. I think you’re possessed!”

Gu Jianshe was furious too. He handed over eighty yuan a month for the living expenses, yet he didn’t even get a single hot meal, and he still had to take care of his own son. Was he paying that eighty yuan for nothing?

If he still had a wife, eighty yuan would be enough for hot three-dish-one-soup meals every day. 

His son would be cared for, and he could focus entirely on his work. 

The only reason he hadn’t been able to outcompete Gu Ye these days was because he’d been dragged down by this never ending family troubles. 

Gu Jianshe’s heart gave a thump, it was time to get married.

Rather than giving his mother eighty yuan every month, he might as well marry an honest, obedient wife. 

That would solve all his current problems, and at night, he would also have a warm bed to return to.

The more he thought about it, the faster his heart pounded. He couldn’t wait to find someone to arrange a match right away.

While Zhu Yuzhen and her son were still shoving each other at the door, plenty of neighbors in the corridor were pointing and whispering.

Gu Jiefang returned from work, hands clasped behind his back, humming a tune. 

From a distance, he heard his son’s voice, and his heart tightened. He quickened his pace to the door.

After hearing the whole story, his face turned as black as ink. 

Looking at the pigsty of a home, the young grandson crying so hard that he could barely breathe, and Zhu Yuzhen with not the slightest sign of remorse, Gu Jiefang felt his temper boil over.

“Go inside!”

Gu Jiefang gave the order, grabbing Zhu Yuzhen and dragging her into the house. 

With a bang, the door slammed shut, and before long, yelling and crying could be heard from inside, both were Zhu Yuzhen and the child’s voice, overlapping like a strange symphony.

The crowd in the corridor listened with great interest. 

The Gu family had been lively lately, there was drama to watch every day. But Zhu Yuzhen had brought it on herself. 

Who did she think she was, she was an old woman, but still trying to dance? 

Hmph, so shameless, she deserved a beating!

It was a few days later that Chu Qiao heard about the Gu family’s farce. 

Some of the factory wives at the textile factory where Zhu Yuzhen worked had connections to the machine tool factory.

Saying Shanghai was small, it couldn’t be said to be small. But for saying it was big, it was also not really big. Words traveled fast, and the Gu family’s messy business quickly reached Chu Qiao’s ears.

“Oh my goodness, Gu Jianshe’s mother is all dolled up now, looking like some old witch, she’s even drawing her eyebrows and putting on lipstick! Over fifty years old granny and wearing a bright red bat-sleeve top with tight fitness pants, her butt stretched so tight that you could see the outline, swaying side to side as she walked. She’s completely lost her dignity, so shameless!”

“Could it be that she’s got something going on outside? Otherwise, why would she suddenly start dressing up at her age?”

As soon as that was said, the group of women fell silent, but only for a few seconds before the gossip exploded again.
