Chapter 266 Pastries

afternoon

As it was nearing the end of the workday, Gu Yihan suddenly slapped her forehead.

When I thought about buying a birthday present for Hao Hao, I also bought two boxes of pastries and face cream for Grandma Gu.

She almost forgot.

She quickly opened the drawer, took out pastries and face cream from her handbag, stood up and walked over to Hu Shan.

She smiled and said, "Sister Shan, thank you for your hard work!"

Hu Shan glanced at Gu Yihan and smiled slightly.

He reached out and took the pastries and face cream, jokingly asking, "Did you buy peach shortbread and glutinous rice strips for your grandma again?"

Gu Yihan smiled with her eyes crinkling and nodded, saying, "Sister Shan, just like before, invite her to your house for a meal."

It wasn't that she was stingy and wouldn't let Grandma Gu take it back to eat; it was just that she was worried about taking it back.

Grandma Gu couldn't keep these pastries, nor could she eat them herself.

After all, ordinary families couldn't afford to buy pastries and snacks. Not only were they expensive, but they also required food coupons.

As Hu Shan put the items into her crossbody bag, she said, "Don't worry, just like before, Gu Meng won't find out."

Gu Yihan was the most filial granddaughter she had ever seen, ever since Grandma Gu went to the tenement.

She not only inquired about the other person's situation every few days.

She also often bought pastries and kept them at her own home, fearing that Grandma Gu might be mistreated and go hungry at Gu Meng's house.

Thinking of Grandma Gu's repeated instructions.

Hu Shan sighed and said, "Xiao Han, you're being too cautious. That's Gu Meng's own grandmother."

Gu Yihan smiled and didn't argue, saying, "Sister Shan, has my grandma changed since I first went there?"

Upon hearing this, Hu Shan thought back carefully and realized that she had indeed changed a lot; she was darker and had lost a lot of weight.

She glanced up at Gu Yihan, gave an awkward smile, and then fell silent.

Seeing that Hu Shan remained silent, Gu Yihan sighed and returned to her seat.

She knew all too well that Gu Meng was selfish, petty, and stingy.

Although it's not as extreme as making Grandma Gu go hungry three meals a day or nine meals a day for three days.

But Gu Meng is capable of going hungry every single day.

Wang Guixiang looked at Gu Yihan's actions and said with a smile, "Xiaohan is so good to your grandma."

“No one is even at your house helping to look after the child, yet you still buy her food.”

Upon hearing this, Gu Yihan paused for a moment, then shifted her gaze to Wang Guixiang.

He asked in bewilderment, "Does not helping to take care of the children mean one cannot be filial?"

In this day and age, even if someone doesn't want to be filial, they won't say it out loud. Is Wang Guixiang stupid?

How dare you say such things so openly!

"No, that's not what I meant," Wang Guixiang quickly waved her hand and shook her head.

Gu Yihan is deliberately digging a hole for herself. If she says yes, wouldn't that prove that she is unfilial?

This is outrageous!

Upon hearing this, Zhang Limin lowered her head to look at the account book, a slight smile playing on her lips. Wang Guixiang's forgetful mouth would get her into trouble sooner or later.

...

On her way home from get off work, Gu Yihan encountered Lan Cao, who was walking alone.

He kept his eyes fixed straight ahead, pretending not to see her, and rode right past her.

When Lan Cao saw Gu Yihan riding a bicycle, she paused for a moment, then suddenly exerted her strength.

He called out, "Xiao Han."

He quickly caught up with her, reached out and grabbed the back seat of her bicycle tightly, pulling her backward.

Gu Yihan found that the bicycle was not moving. Unconvinced, she pedaled hard twice, but it still didn't budge.

A flash of displeasure crossed his eyes. After getting out of the car, he turned around and gave Lan Cao a cold look, then said in a cold voice, "Let go."

The orchids shook their heads like rattles.

He said anxiously, "Xiao Han, could you please tell Deputy Battalion Commander Wang that I'll be waiting for him at the entrance of the family compound?"

She waited for several hours at the gate of the family compound yesterday, but Deputy Battalion Commander Wang did not appear, and she did not know whether he had raised the money or not.

Upon hearing this, Gu Yihan snorted coldly in her heart, knowing that interfering in other people's affairs would bring divine retribution.

He sneered, "What does this have to do with me?"

Lan Cao paused for a moment, then looked at Gu Yihan: "Don't you already know about my relationship with Deputy Battalion Commander Wang?"

Gu Yihan was amused by Lan Cao's antics. Knowing their relationship, she felt obligated to help him.

What kind of robber logic is this!

He glanced at her, nodded, and said, "Okay, let go."

Lan Cao was happy to see that she had agreed and let go of her hand.

Taking advantage of Lancao's momentary lapse in attention, Gu Yihan suddenly shoved her away.

Before the other person could react, he sped away on his bicycle.

Lan Cao stumbled after being pushed by Gu Yihan, but after she straightened up...

Looking at her back, I knew I had been deceived.

Enraged, she gritted her teeth and said, "Once I remarry Deputy Battalion Commander Wang, I'll throw manure into your yard every day!!!"

large courtyard

When Hu Shan got home, she saw Grandma Gu washing her diaper at the public tap, and a pang of heartache flashed in her eyes.

He quickly walked to her side.

She whispered in her ear, "Grandma Gu, Xiao Han bought you some pastries again. Come to my house when you're done."

Upon hearing this, Grandma Gu's nose tingled, and tears almost welled up in her eyes. With a heavy nasal tone, she softly murmured, "Mmm."

Knowing that his granddaughter cared about him all the time, he felt both guilty and sad.

It was her fault; she took care of Gu Meng when Hao Hao needed someone the most.

Hu Shan glanced at Grandma Gu, who was silently washing the diaper ring, sighed, shook her head, and turned to go back to her own home.

After washing the clothes, Grandma Gu didn't have time to rest. Before the child woke up, she had to quickly cook dinner.

I had only cooked half of the meal when someone exclaimed, "Wow!"

Loud crying reached the kitchen, while Grandma Gu was still cleaning up.

Just then, Qin Shou casually entered the house, but upon hearing his son's cries, his expression immediately turned cold.

Upon opening the bedroom door, he saw his son immediately climb to the edge of the bed.

Startled, he rushed forward and caught his son just as he fell to the ground.

Qin Shou held his son in his arms, stroking his head and muttering softly, "Stroking him won't scare him."

His heart was still pounding; his son had almost fallen off the bed.

Filled with anger with nowhere to vent, he turned and strode out of the bedroom, heading towards Grandma Gu in the kitchen.

He roared, "You old bastard, are you stuffing your ears with donkey hair? Didn't you hear my son crying?!"

When Grandma Gu heard Qin Shou call her an old hag, she turned ashen with anger and slammed the spatula in her hand to the ground.

As she walked, she wiped her hands on her apron, glanced at Qin Shou in the living room, and said coldly, "I'm cooking!"

"If you don't cook, will your family starve?"

Qin Shou saw that Grandma Gu was completely unaware of her mistake.

He angrily retorted, "You think cooking means you can leave the child in bed all by yourself!"

"Do you know that if I hadn't come back in time, my son would have fallen off the bed!"

"What's all the noise about?"

Gu Meng hadn't even gotten home when she heard Qin Shou shouting, and she said irritably.
