Second Brother Gu was pushing his stall, thinking about how much money he could make tomorrow, so he didn't hear the gossip.
Mr. Su and Mr. Gu are two men of similar age and have many common topics, so they had a great time chatting.
Su's mother rode her scooter back to cook. She wanted to make the most delicious dishes for her daughter-in-law and her family.
Gu Jiaojiao pushed Su Shuoci and listened to the gossip of the crowd behind them. No matter whether it was good or bad, it did not affect their mood.
They were a young couple who had just fallen in love, and all the gossip was praising them.
Those who knew Gu Jiaojiao in the compound had watched her grow up despite being weak and unable to take care of herself.
The girl has been quiet and gentle since she was young, and everyone thinks she will be graceful and elegant when she grows up.
But when he was seventeen, he became crooked. Not only was he ungenerous, but he also became unreasonable, causing unrest in the Sheng family.
"It turns out we were all wrong. Gu Jiaojiao is still that quiet and gentle girl, and the Sheng family's real daughter is the unreasonable one."
"Why do you say that? Do you know anything?"
"My colleague lives next door to the Sheng family. She said that the Sheng family has been in turmoil lately."
"Really? Could it be that we really have made a mistake?"
"It's absolutely true. The eldest son of the Sheng family hasn't been home for a week. He used to come home every weekend."
An aunt whose daughter likes Sheng Shijing said this with dissatisfaction.
"No way, is your colleague the stepmother of the Dong family? She is Madam Sheng's mortal enemy."
"Even though they are sworn enemies, Ren Xiaofang wouldn't lie. She said the third child of the Sheng family even secretly visited the Su family."
"Why did he have to go secretly? Couldn't he have gone in broad daylight?"
"Oh! You don't understand. They've severed ties, haven't they? It would be embarrassing to go there in broad daylight."
"In my opinion, it's not that he's embarrassed, but he's probably afraid that his sister will make a fuss."
At this time, everyone's favorable impression of Gu Jiaojiao soared, and many people followed suit and criticized the real daughter of the Sheng family.
"Keep your mouths shut. If you don't know the truth, don't talk nonsense on the street."
A girl's angry roar interrupted the gossiping crowd, and everyone turned around and saw it.
Sheng Xinglian and a group of followers were behind the crowd. They heard that she was furious and wanted to cry but didn't dare to.
Xiaoyu had snacks to eat these two days when she helped Sheng Xinglian talk, especially an egg yolk pastry.
The moment you put it in your mouth, the crust is crispy and breaks into crumbs when you chew it. The egg yolk is salty and fragrant, and the sweet filling makes you reluctant to swallow it.
Sheng Xinglian and Song Zijin tasted the forbidden fruit. Song Zijin had just started eating meat and was addicted to it, so he generously bought her some egg yolk pastries.
"Where are we talking nonsense? It was Ren Xiaofang from the Sheng family next door who said that. If you don't believe me, you can ask her."
An aunt who didn't know Sheng Xinglian retorted loudly.
"Before, when the real daughter of the Sheng family didn't come back, Ren Xiaofang didn't say that the Sheng family was in turmoil."
"Wuwu... Wuwu... I shouldn't have come back and I shouldn't be living in this world. Even if I'm alive, it's a mistake... Wuwu..."
Sheng Xinglian was really sad and crying this time. She had been waiting sweetly for Song Zijin to bring her some cold noodles this afternoon.
It’s not that she wanted to eat cold noodles so much. After all, she had lived a wealthy life for ten years in her previous life and had everything she wanted to eat!
All she wanted was Song Zijin's infatuation and attitude towards her, but she didn't see Song Zijin until school was over.
Yesterday they tasted the forbidden fruit. Song Zijin waited for her at the school gate after school and reluctantly sent her downstairs.
This afternoon, they went to the small woods behind the school to be affectionate again. Song Zijin said that he skipped classes in the afternoon to buy her some cold noodles.
She waited until school was over but didn't see Song Zijin, which made her feel very uncomfortable and angry.
How could she not cry when she heard gossip that was unfavorable to her on the way?
Everyone's gossiping is just boring, no one has to talk about it in detail.
Seeing the real daughter of the Sheng family crying heartbrokenly, everyone quickly walked towards other forks in the road.
Some people even said unconvincedly as they walked away: "We didn't provoke you, you are the one crying."
"That's right, you started crying when we just told you a few truths. Do you bully Gu Jiaojiao like this at home?"
They can't afford to offend the Sheng family, and that's why they gossip secretly to maintain psychological balance.
In particular, there is the Song family, who are their bread and butter. The supply and marketing cooperatives and state-owned restaurants in the compound are all managed by the Song family.
But everyone knows that the law does not punish the masses, and there is no crime in gossiping with many people.
It would be hard to predict what would happen if they were caught alone, so in a moment, only Sheng Xinglian and her followers were left on the road.
The followers were all teenage girls. Although they were usually fierce, they didn't dare to directly fight with the women.
Everyone hurriedly helped Sheng Xinglian wipe her tears, "Sister Lian, please don't cry. I feel like crying when you do this..."
"Gu Jiaojiao will be coming to school the day after tomorrow. We'll settle the score with her then."
"Time flies so fast! Gu Jiaojiao's two-week wedding leave is about to expire."
"Wuwu... Stop talking, I'm going home first."
Sheng Xinglian stomped her feet and ran away, too lazy to listen to the empty talk of these stupid people.
She should go home and ask the idiot whether he had beaten Gu Jiaojiao. Judging from the idiot's stupidity, even if he didn't beat her, he would at least scold the bitch severely.
When Gu Jiaojiao and the others returned home, Su's mother had already cooked several dishes and Gu's mother had stewed the chicken soup.
It was still the same old habit. Everyone quickly washed their hands, ate, and counted their money. Su Qinchun served everyone a bowl of chicken soup according to Gu Jiaojiao's instructions.
Chicken soup with ginseng is not delicious, but everyone knows that ginseng is expensive and good for the body.
Brother Gu and Old Man Gu didn't recover so quickly in two days. Their physical foundation was severely depleted, and they still had to rely on Chinese medicine and diet therapy to slowly make up for it.
Gu Jiaojiao injected him with high-quality nutrient solution, so they were in a good mood and everything tasted delicious.
"Jiaojiao, you are too thin. Drink more chicken soup." Mother Gu lovingly scooped a spoonful of chicken soup from her bowl and gave it to Gu Jiaojiao.
"No, this chicken soup tastes just okay. You have to share it in portions. I don't want to drink more than one sip."
"Haha... I think it tastes delicious." Mr. Gu was telling the truth.
"Then please help me drink my portion, Grandpa." Gu Jiaojiao immediately joked.
"Jiaojiao~ You said that drinking more or less is bad for your health."
Su Shuoci was afraid that his wife would drink less, as it would be bad for her health.
"Haha... drink from your own bowl." Father Gu laughed out loud.
The soup cannot be given up, but the dishes can be given up. However, the portions cooked by Su's mother are very large, so even if more is given, everyone will be full. The Su family drinks soup and eats dishes happily.
After lunch, Dong Qihua and his son went to work immediately, and then turned a corner to go to Su's house for a delicious meal.
Dinner was not good, so I went to Su's house for free meal. I found my own food hard to swallow.
Dong Qihua left some spicy strips for the meal. Dong's father could only watch helplessly, thinking about asking his nephew and son-in-law for some spicy strips for lunch tomorrow.
