Chapter 268: Eldest Sister's Mother-in-Law

On the way back to the city from the Diaojiaolou Miao Village, the atmosphere in the carriage was very depressing.

Gu Jiayue tried to open her mouth several times to ease the atmosphere, but was glared back by her second brother in the end.

Gu Huangtai sighed, "I know you all think I'm too soft-hearted, but put yourself in his shoes. His resentment and resentment were indeed caused by your mother and me."

"Oh, what a great Holy Father of All Heavens!" Gu Yuchuan sneered expressionlessly.

Gu Huangtai looked embarrassed. Ever since his son recovered from his illness, he, as a father, was actually a little afraid of him.

How should he respond to this?

Forgive Li Ah Yang for being a bit of a saint, but he is really pitiful. His good wife suddenly ran away, and no girl is willing to marry him for so many years.

Everyone has a twisted mind, right?

The atmosphere in the car became even more tense, as if time had been slowed down. Gu Jiayue looked several times but still hadn't reached Taohua Village.

Finally, the entrance of Taohua Village finally appeared before our eyes.

Gu Jiayue breathed a sigh of relief. "My legs are a little numb from sitting for so long. I'll go downstairs and take a walk."

After saying that, he walked out of the carriage.

"Second sister, wait for me, I want to walk too." Gu Zhigeng reacted quickly and stood up quickly.

The two sisters got off the carriage and didn't care whether they were cold or not. They moved their short legs very quickly and reached the door of their home in a short while.

Before I even entered, I could hear the noisy sounds inside. It seemed like there were quite a lot of people.

The two sisters looked at each other and saw exhaustion in each other's eyes.

"Hey, everyone, look who's here? Is it our Principal Gu who's back?" As soon as Gu Jiayue stepped into the door with her left foot, she was grabbed by the hand by an unfamiliar aunt.

Gu Jiayue felt her scalp tingling, and she looked at her aunt who was walking towards her with pleading eyes, asking for help.

The eldest aunt rescued Gu Jiayue's hand. "My dear mother-in-law, my Jiayue doesn't like to be so close to people she doesn't know well."

Oh? Mother-in-law? Could this be my eldest sister's mother-in-law?

This... I've never heard of a new bride bringing her mother-in-law with her when she returns to her parents' home. It was just the next village, and Gu Jiayue had never heard of such a custom.

Liu Shi didn't seem to notice the resistance from her aunt and Gu Jiayue, and she put her arm around Gu Jiayue's shoulders affectionately. "Oh, mother-in-law, you don't know, the moment I saw Jiayue, I felt so close to her, like I was seeing my own daughter. I can't get enough of her."

Gu Jiayue struggled slightly and found that Liu was holding her very tightly, so she was unable to break free.

Awkward.

My aunt rolled her eyes. "We're from the next village, so who doesn't know who? With your family's preference for boys over girls, a seven or eight-year-old girl can be treated like a half-adult, and you still have the nerve to say you cherish her? Pah!"

If I were your daughter, I would cry my heart out.

"Oh, Jiayue, go check on me, did you forget to add water to the pot on the stove?"

With the help of her aunt, Gu Jiayue finally broke free from Liu's clutches and ran into the kitchen, dragging Gu Zhigeng with her.

When I entered the kitchen, I saw my sister-in-law busy at the stove.

"Aunt." The two sisters called out obediently.

The Gu family's younger sister-in-law smiled and waved at the two sisters. "I heard from my eldest sister-in-law that you accompanied your mother back to her parents' home. Why don't you stay for a while?"

The two sisters looked at each other, hesitant as to whether they should say it or not.

The younger sister-in-law also realized the special situation of her third sister-in-law, and it seemed that she would not be able to see her this time.

Why.

Then she quickly changed the subject. "Come and try the sugar-coated glutinous rice cakes I made. Do they resemble the ones your grandma makes?"

The aunt picked up the chopsticks, picked up a piece of golden and crispy sugar-coated cake from the plate beside her and handed it to Gu Zhigeng.

Gu Zhigeng's eyes lit up as he held out his hands to take it. "Thank you, aunt."

"Be good, go play. We don't need your help here." After sending Gu Zhigeng away, the aunt looked outside and whispered to Gu Jiayue, "Did you see your eldest sister's mother-in-law? Stay away from her later."

Gu Jiayue looked at her aunt in surprise. Liu's purpose was so obvious that even her aunt, who didn't care about anything else, noticed it?

The younger sister-in-law continued, "That Liu is not a good person. She smiles on the surface, but she's actually embarrassing your elder sister behind her back. On the day of your elder sister's wedding, guess what? You slept on the floor in front of the child's door! You said you wanted to watch over her child because you were worried your elder brother-in-law wouldn't have any covers to sleep under."

What?

Gu Jiayue suspected that she heard an alien language.

"No, that's not right. Didn't I hear before that Mrs. Liu doesn't like her brother-in-law very much?"

The younger sister-in-law slapped her thigh, momentarily forgetting she was holding a pair of chopsticks, and her thigh rubbed tight, but this did not stop her from gossiping. "That's why I said she was deliberately tormenting your eldest sister. Do you know what they had for New Year's Eve dinner yesterday?"

"What to eat?"

"Eat sweet potatoes cooked with sorghum rice, and a dish of stir-fried sour radish and sour cowpeas."

Gu Jiayue was shocked. This is how they eat New Year's Eve dinner? That's the most important meal of the year. Even if you're poor, you have to scramble two eggs, right?

"That would be fine. Your eldest sister thought it was just a family custom and didn't take it seriously. It was just this one meal. But guess what?"

"What's going on?"

"Your eldest sister got up in the middle of the night and found that the family was secretly eating roast chicken in the kitchen. The whole family was there, but your eldest sister and brother-in-law were not called."

"this...."

We're obviously a family, so why are we acting like we're on guard against thieves? "My eldest sister didn't make a scene?"

"Oh, it's all messed up."

The younger sister-in-law quickly stood up and fished the food out of the pot. "Why didn't you make a fuss? Your eldest sister rushed in and questioned her right then and there. And guess what the old woman said?"

"Hey, why is it burnt? Ah!" The aunt took the time to feel sorry for the burnt sugar-coated rice cakes in the pot, picked them up, and then shouted to her son outside.

Ah Cai came running in from outside. "Mom."

"Well, look, mommy fried some baba especially for you. It's so sweet. Come and have some."

Ah Cai held the darkened plate of poop, feeling a bit speechless. "Mom, I'm not a three-year-old anymore."

The aunt was a little embarrassed, but she still held on. "You kid, I'm your mother, don't you know? You just like to eat over-fried food like this."

"Okay, okay, I love it. I love it." Okay, it's fried anyway, and for a farm boy who rarely sees meat, it's okay if it's a little mushy. It won't kill you. It's better than a mushy wild vegetable dish.

The aunt was satisfied. "Well, go play. Don't give this to your sisters. Bring this plate to them." The aunt handed over another plate of golden and crispy baba.

Ah, I felt that the bitter poop in my mouth became even more bitter.

After seeing Ah Cai off, the aunt continued without stopping, "Guess what the old woman said? She said: 'Oh, I thought you two were tired of eating delicious food and drinking spicy drinks in the city every day, so I didn't invite you.'"

The young girl pursed her lips and imitated Liu's voice in a shrill voice.

You know what, they look 80% similar.

This made Gu Jiayue laugh silently, clutching her stomach. "And then?"

"Then, your eldest sister rushed over and stuffed all the leftover chicken bones into Liu's mouth, letting her eat her fill."

Can it still be done this way?

Gu Jiayue was stunned when she heard this, and couldn't help but silently praise her elder sister.

But then a bit of doubt came over her. "Even in such a state, Liu is still following my eldest sister back to her parents' home? Isn't she afraid that my aunt will tear her apart?"

The young lady smiled mysteriously, "Oh, do you think someone like Liu would do a business without any capital? She is trying to trick you."

"Plotting against me?"
