Wen Tang and her best friend Chi Yue stumbled upon a true and false heiress novel on a fiction website. Unlike typical stories of this trope, the two heiresses weren’t pitted against each other�...
Chapter 6 What About You?
When Zhong Meixian saw her leaning over to look at the courtyard wall, she remembered that she had wanted to marry her grandson before, so she coughed twice and said, "Ahem, since you are marrying Yan Li, you should live a good life and stop thinking about those unnecessary things."
Wen Tang didn't react and just nodded.
Seeing that she was still honest, Zhong Meixian felt relieved.
It’s okay to be lazy for now, but once her son leaves, she will be able to discipline him well.
Wen Tang soon saw his best friend. The two of them had a tacit understanding for many years. They only needed to look at each other and knew that the other had slept well, so they didn't say much.
After all, according to the characters in the book, they have a grudge against each other and are rivals.
Lin Jingshen led people to the kitchen to heat up the food.
Because the man Gu Jinfeng married lived next door, she had to cook at Gu's house over the years to take care of her mother, and the two families ate together.
If it weren’t for yesterday’s banquet, the Lin family’s kitchen would not be open because there were too many people and the fire couldn’t be turned on.
So this time Lin Jingshen took Chi Yue to the Gu family's kitchen.
In the kitchen, Gu Yanli had just heated up the rice and was walking out with it. When he saw Lin Jingshen and his wife, he immediately stepped aside.
Lin Jingshen wanted to say hello to him, but he didn't have time.
Because Gu Yanli had already raised his head and asked Wen Tang, "Where do you want to eat?"
"I'm fine with anything," Wen Tang replied obediently and politely.
Gu Yanli said, "Then let's eat in the main hall!"
When Gu Yanli passed by Zhong Meixian with the bowl in his hand, Zhong Meixian couldn't stand still again, "Where did you get the eggs?"
In Zhong Meixian's opinion, white flour buns are not good enough to eat, and we also need to make an egg?
But in Gu Yanli's opinion, if he didn't eat the egg, he would be so angry that he would die tonight.
Only after he is nourished can he stop being irritable.
"The place where you put the eggs is not a secret place," Gu Yanli replied directly.
Zhong Meixian stomped her feet in anger again.
In the end, I just adopted the attitude of out of sight, out of mind, and went to sit at the gate of the yard.
I'm just waiting for my daughter to come back so I can complain to her about this terrible daughter-in-law.
When her daughter came back, she found something even worse: her daughter-in-law was not only lazy, but also greedy. She only ate the egg and did not eat the white flour bun.
Lin Jingshen was a bit dull, not as cunning as his uncle. He was honest and just heated up the rice left for his wife. He didn't even mention putting an egg under the sieve.
Chi Yue ate half a steamed bun, some porridge, and some vegetables.
After Wen Tang ate the eggs and vegetables, he drank some porridge and felt full. He had no appetite to eat the steamed buns anymore, so Gu Yanli brought the steamed buns back.
Zhong Meixian, who was sitting at the gate of the yard waiting for her daughter, saw the big white steamed bun in the bowl at a glance.
She immediately couldn't sit still, "Are the good steamed buns not tasty anymore?"
Before she could say something else, she saw her dark-faced son pick up the steamed bun and start biting it. He finished half of the bun in just a few steps and ate all the food directly in the kitchen.
In the kitchen, Chi Yue ate later and was still eating.
Gu Yanli took the bowl to the well, drew some water, and started washing the bowl.
Wen Tang ran over and squatted there, holding his chin with both hands, smiling and blinking his long eyelashes, and asked Gu Yanli, "Brother, can I wash the dishes?"
Gu Yanli's grip on the bowl tightened, and he washed the dishes faster, his voice becoming deeper. "No, I'll finish soon."
Wen Tang continued to blink, "Brother, you are so kind."
“Crack!”
A crisp sound was heard, and Gu Yanli and Wen Tang both looked at the cracked bowl and fell silent.
Wen Tang: Men are really strong, they can break a bowl with their bare hands. If they were to break me...
The train in his mind was running too fast, and Wen Tang was aware of blushing.
Gu Yanli stood up silently, then walked to the courtyard wall and looked outside. There was no one there.
"Swish," and he threw the cracked porcelain bowl away.
He just said that he was too anxious!
It was really too annoying, making him feel like going crazy.
He had to pull out the bed in the afternoon, and when it got dark, the new bed had to be pulled back.
Then come back and continue washing the dishes.
This time the bowl didn't break again.
Because Wen Tang was obedient and didn't call him brother anymore.
She was not familiar with the place. After Gu Yanli washed the dishes and went to the kitchen, she followed him.
Then I saw Chi Yue preparing to wash the dishes.
Lin Jingshen said, "Xiaoyue, I'll boil some hot water for you to wash the dishes. It's a bit cold."
In fact, for Chi Yue, it was not a problem of cold weather, but the stove in the countryside, which she was not very good at cleaning.
Just at this time Wen Tang came.
Wen Tang saw her predicament at a glance, crossed his arms, and began to "taunt" her, "Oh, the man you married is not that good. This is the first time you eat at his house, and you still have to wash the dishes?"
When Gu Yanli heard Wen Tang's words, there was no change on his face, but his back suddenly straightened even more, and even when he put down the bowl, his waist was stretched straight.
Lin Jingshen looked up and saw his uncle put down the bowl. He was not really stupid, so what else did he not understand? He stood up and said quickly, "Xiaoyue, you go sit outside too, I'll wash it."
Chi Yue and Wen Tang looked at each other, and both saw satisfaction in each other's eyes.
Chi Yue also replied to Wen Tang, "You make it sound like you're the only one who can get married."
"Tsk," Wen Tang sneered, turned around and followed Gu Yanli out of the kitchen.
Wen Tang followed behind Gu Yanli and asked, "How many days do you have for your wedding leave?"
"Ten days!"
"Oh, that's quite a long time!"
Wen Tang thought, no wonder there was a chance to save the original heroine.
Gu Yanli was thinking, "You..."
He wanted to ask whether Wen Tang was willing to follow him to join the army.
He is the battalion commander and can bring his family with him.
If you follow the army, life may become a bit boring.
There are people from all over the world living in the family compound, and Wen Tang may not be able to get along with them. Her life will definitely be boring. Besides, if she gets pregnant in the future and he gets busy, there will be no one to take care of her.
So Gu Yanli didn’t know whether he should mention it or not.
In their army, there are many family members who are unwilling to follow their men because they are bored and have no one to know, so Gu Yanli doesn't know whether Wen Tang is willing or not.
If she didn't want to, would Wen Tang be angry if he mentioned it?
He hesitated for a moment, then heard her mother yelling at the gate, "Hey, it's already noon?"
"I thought it was just eight or nine o'clock. Are you all back for dinner?"
When Gu Yanli turned around, he saw his eldest sister, his father, and his brother-in-law, some carrying hoes and some carrying shovels, coming back together.
Obviously he came back for lunch.
Gu Jinfeng was the first to arrive at the door, carrying a shovel. She put down the shovel and said, "What do you mean it's eight or nine o'clock? I've been working for half a day."
"Oh, not eight or nine o'clock? Some people have just woken up," Zhong Meixian said the last sentence not very loudly, but made sure that Wen Tang, who was standing in the yard, could hear it.
Chi Yue, who came out of the kitchen, also heard it.
Wen Tang raised his chin towards Chi Yue and said, "I'm talking about you!"
Zhong Meixian "..."
