As soon as He Danhua left, Mrs. Chen rushed towards Gu Yumei, grabbed her hair, and gave her two resounding slaps.
Gu Yumei was stunned, looking at Mrs. Chen with a face full of disbelief. After a moment, she burst into tears and pointed at Mrs. Chen, scolding, "You, you dare hit me, you are not my mother, what right do you have to hit me? I didn't do anything wrong, woo woo woo..."
Mrs. Chen laughed angrily, pointing at the handkerchief in her hand, she berated, "Didn't do anything wrong? What's this then? Do you know this handkerchief was bought by He Cui'er's brother? You even dare to accept it? Are you trying to become someone's stepmother?"
He Cui'er's brother, He Minzi, was twenty-six this year. He had married before, but his wife died in childbirth two years ago, leaving behind two sons.
"The He family is busy arranging a marriage for He Minzi. Now, in receiving a handkerchief bought by He Cui'er's brother, if word spreads, it will be taken as a secret engagement."
