Gu Chengyu thought, she's still his own mother, it shouldn't be likely that she would abuse her, maybe she just makes her do more work.
He never imagined that after seeing Sanya today, he'd realize all the talk about tigers not eating their cubs was just that—talk.
Sanya used to look quite fair-skinned, but now her skin looked dark and yellow, and she wore a cotton outfit. It should have been her mother's old clothes, altered to fit her, but it was ill-fitting, with several places damaged.
The second household had long started wearing silk and satin, yet Sanya was still picking through He's old clothes to wear.
The Gu Family was living quite comfortably now, and even the second branch could get about a thousand taels of silver in dividends each year, so why was the daughter dressed so poorly? It was comparable to the days when the Gu family barely had anything to eat or drink.
