Chapter 76 77. Making a fool of oneself

Gu Wenheng was helplessly dominated by the two women. Sitting next to the fire and wrapped in a quilt, he looked both funny and pitiful.

Jin Qianqian tried her best not to laugh out loud; the pitiful look of her senior was particularly funny.

"Bad girl, laugh if you want to," Gu Wenheng said unhappily, "Don't you think about who hurt me?"

Jin Qianqian immediately spoke up for herself, "You can't wrongly accuse a good person, and such a kind and considerate person.

Look at the treatment you have received. It is full of my and my love for you. You should enjoy it now."

Gu Wenheng, "How about we switch seats? I think you deserve to enjoy it more than me."

This forced me to sit by the fire, wrapped in a blanket and sweat, which was almost like taking a sauna.

I don’t know what this old lady is thinking. She is not a three-year-old child. Will this trick really work?

Jin Qianqian raised the wild vegetables in her hand and said, "No, that won't do. I just picked so many wild vegetables nearby. Let's make some wild vegetable pancakes to eat in the evening. Today I'll let you taste my cooking skills."

Taking advantage of the few days they had disappeared, they also took the opportunity to bring out some grains, and now they could openly improve their meals.

"Why don't you go ask mom? Don't waste it. The old lady will definitely nag about it when the time comes." Gu Wenheng tightened the quilt around himself when he thought of that scene.

"How can this be a waste? Don't forget, even though we didn't cook much during this trip, I still remember the order in my mind," Jin Qianqian leaned her head close to his ear, "Don't worry! I secretly looked through the recipes I collected, so there won't be any big problems."

Gu Wenheng: "…" Then what about the small problem?

Jin Qianqian paid close attention to the changes in his facial expression. The villain in her heart had already burst out laughing. This senior student was really funny. You know, although she was hungry for one meal and full for another back then, at least she didn't starve to death.

"Seventh brother's sister-in-law, didn't you say there was no food left? Where can this come from?" Li Xiaohua was holding up the freshly washed wild vegetables, her eyes full of jealousy.

Seeing her mother-in-law busying around for them before, they must have cheated her!

Jin Qianqian mixed the noodles in her hand and said, "It's a rare opportunity to have a refreshing meal, so I'll take out the black noodles I bought in the city and splurge on them for once."

"Did you buy things in the city?" Li Xiaohua opened her mouth slightly. Why didn't they think of this at that time?

"Of course, it's a rare opportunity to go into the city, so we have to gain something.

Although the soldiers were looking for him everywhere, we still got a chance to do so, which gave us another chance to survive."

Liu Liu also came over at this time, her tone full of sourness, "It seems that the seventh brother's wife is really hidden, and I don't know how much dowry she has hidden. You see, the sisters-in-law have no knowledge. How about you take it out and open our eyes?"

"Isn't this bad?" Jin Qianqian raised her flour-covered hand and covered her mouth in pretended surprise, "If the sisters-in-law see me, they will feel even more uncomfortable, and my sin will be even greater.

Besides, what woman doesn't have one or two dowries? I haven't met many sisters-in-law to teach me about this, so I won't show off here and make a fool of myself."

Li Xiaohua: "..." When did Jin become so sharp-tongued?

Liu Liu: "..." I really want to tear her smug face apart.

Jin Qianqian was humming a song they didn't know while happily kneading dough with her hands. She was really angry with everyone and everything. Anyway, if they were unhappy, she would be happy too. This feeling was really damn good.

Gu Wenheng kept his eyes closed the entire time. If it weren't for the upturned corners of his mouth, people around him would have thought he had fallen asleep.

Li Cuicui watched the sisters-in-law bickering the whole time, rolling her eyes a few times but not saying a word.

"What are we going to eat today?" Gu Dashi asked expectantly, "We are close to the water now, how about we stew some meat?"

"What kind of meat do you want to stew? We've been walking all day. You may not be tired, but I am. Lao Qi and I were the ones who carried everything. Now that you have free time, not only do you not help, you are also here giving orders. If you want to eat, get it yourself." Li Cuicui casually put the wild vegetables into the pot, and the unique aroma of the wild vegetables immediately diffused in the air.

Gu Dashi, "I'm still injured, and Old Seven and the others gave me meat to nourish my body. I just ate it dry before, and now I can finally drink some meat soup, and you're still making excuses."

Li Cuicui was too lazy to pay attention to him. She threw a few grains of salt into the pot and distributed a bowl to each person. Anyway, this was the food for today and they could eat it if they wanted.

Gu Dashi hadn't had vegetable soup for a long time. Unable to resist the temptation of the smell, he grabbed the bowl and started drinking it in small sips, regardless of the burn.

Jin Qianqian put the baked pancakes in a bowl, and Gu Wenheng moved a relatively flat stone to serve as a temporary table.

"Take a small bowl and give two to mom and dad!" The pancakes were a little big, so one should be enough for each of them.

Gu Wenheng stuffed the bowl directly into her arms, "Shouldn't you be the one to do this kind of good thing?"

Jin Qianqian, "......?"

"Don't forget the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law. Although the old lady is a bit aggressive, she is protective of her children. If you catch her eye, she will definitely protect you well." After Gu Wenheng finished speaking, he blinked mysteriously, and the meaning was self-evident.

Jin Qianqian: "..." Is she that bad? Does she have to be protected by an old lady?

Looking at Li Cuicui who was silently drinking wild vegetable soup, Jin Qianqian couldn't help but smile. If this old lady lived in modern times, she would also be a principled old lady.

She said that she would not interfere in her son's family affairs after the division, and she really did it.

"Then you eat first, I'll send two over to them."

"I'll wait for you," Gu Wenheng moved the fire nearby towards this side. It was already late autumn, and the temperature felt much lower when sitting by the lake.

"Dad, Mom, I made some multi-grain cakes. Please help me taste them." Jin Qianqian squatted down and placed the bowl in front of them.

"You can just eat it yourself, why bring it to me?" Li Cuicui said with a straight face, "We still have a long time to live, don't be so extravagant."

Jin Qianqian: "..." This is so different from what I imagined. Shouldn't I greet her with a smile and say hello, I'm fine?

Gu Dashi took the bowl and took a bite of the cake. "This is what their sons and daughters-in-law should be filial to us. You old woman, I gave it to you and you're still making noises."

Li Cuicui snorted, forcing herself not to snatch the bowl away, "Filial piety also has its time, we old couple still have food, why should we take advantage of them.

Have you forgotten that they just gave us so much meat? We haven't even started eating much yet. How can we rely on them to support us?"
