"What do you mean?"
Gu Lingling asked in confusion.
"That old woman getting beaten is Guo Chundan's mother‑in‑law." The old man shook his head. "She's a fool."
Back when Wang Xiaoqian was still not Guo Chundan's wife, she brought that crazy old woman back from the mountains when she was a kid. Wang Xiaoqian herself was an orphan; even though the old woman was a bit slow in the head, at least she was company. The two of them, mother and daughter, had depended on each other all these years.
When she was young, Wang Xiaoqian actually looked pretty decent.
But precisely because she was an orphan and had a crazy old mother, she caught Guo Chundan's eye. Then he hounded her shamelessly and forced it until he married her.
Of course, when Wang Xiaoqian got married, she had to bring her old mother along.
