Gu'er looked at Li Hua. She appeared calm on the outside, but inside, she was in great pain.
"Mom, what if I don't agree?"
The color drained from Li Hua's face at Gu'er's words.
"You dare disagree! If you don't listen to Mom, I'll get Dad to come here and beat you to death!" Zhou Cai shouted.
"Did you hear that? He said he'll have his father come beat me to death. Is that what's in store for me? I don't want to say any more about it. I've told you before that I've cut all ties with the Zhou family. You are my mother, and it's my duty to provide for you. But *they* have nothing to do with me. Considering how they used to bully me, it's a blessing I haven't sought revenge, yet they still expect me to be good to them? I'm done talking. If they have things here, tell them to pack up and go."
Gu'er didn't want to speak further; it was too heart-wrenching.
"Zhou Gu'er, are you really this heartless? You really can't stand to have us here? I'm begging you, and you still refuse?"
