"I heard that you caused the Pei family to split up before you even got married, and now you've even caused the eldest brother of the Pei family to divorce. You're pregnant, and don't you think twice about the child? With a child, there will be more expenses to pay for. Can you eat these cookies? Your husband is the only one working, and you don't know how to save money?"
Gu Qingmeng: ...
She made the cookies herself, why can't she eat them?
No, who the hell is this? How dare he interfere in her family's affairs? This person knows a lot about the Pei family's affairs. I don't think there is such a person among her relatives, right?
Even if there is, it doesn't stop her from scolding people. She is not the kind of person who will allow herself to be wronged.
"Who are you? You must have eaten too much during Chinese New Year! You know whether the Pei family split up or not, but don't you know that it was my mother-in-law who initiated the split? It's perfectly normal for a tree to branch out. As for whether I care about my children or not, that's none of your business. Since you know me, you should have heard that I'm an educated youth, and my parents give me a monthly subsidy, so I can support my children even if they don't do anything."
"My husband is happy to support me, but he enjoys watching me spend money. Also, I don't know you, and I didn't invite you to my house. Please leave."
Gu Qingmeng didn't give the other person any face. This was the first time she met this person. He came to her house to cause trouble during the New Year. If it weren't for her big belly, she would have given her a couple of slaps.
"You...you actually chased me away. Do you know who I am? I'm Pei Xinghe's high school classmate, humph!"
Gu Qingmeng: ...
"Oh, it's a classmate! My mother-in-law doesn't care about me, and you, a classmate, dare to point fingers at me? Judging from your appearance, you must be married! What, you had a crush on my Xinghe back then! Now you see that I'm uncomfortable, but you have to endure it even if you're uncomfortable. My Xinghe looks good, and he will definitely forget you a long time ago."
"You...what are you talking about?"
The woman seemed to have been stepped on the tail, and her words became confused in an instant. She came here with her sister-in-law today. If her husband heard that she had a crush on Pei Xinghe, she would have no good days.
It was also her fault. She was a little too excited when she knew that Gu Qingmeng was Pei Xinghe's wife.
"Sister Qingmeng, don't take my sister-in-law seriously. She's crazy. I made you angry on New Year's Day. I'm sorry! I'll take her back now." Sister Liu's face turned red with anger. She was the one who brought Wang Li here, and she didn't expect this to happen.
"Who's crazy? Gu Qingmeng, aren't you just beautiful? There will always be a day when you are not beautiful anymore." Wang Li stared at Gu Qingmeng viciously, wishing she could scratch her face.
She did have a crush on Pei Xinghe. There were a few people in school who didn't like Pei Xinghe. After all, there was no one in the whole school who was more handsome than him. But she would not admit that she had a crush on him?
"Xiao Liu, take the person away quickly. What kind of nonsense is this during New Year's Day?" Mrs. Li said with a dark face.
"Heh! I will still be the most beautiful old lady when I am old. Even if I am not beautiful, I have money. What kind of person can't you find with money? Maybe I can even replace him!" Gu Qingmeng sneered.
Gu Qingmeng's words shocked everyone. They had never thought of changing men.
However, after this incident, everyone could not stay any longer and asked to leave. Han Qiongyin also frowned and looked at Gu Qingmeng with peace of mind, fearing that she would be sad because of overthinking. She was relieved when she saw Gu Qingmeng shaking her head at her.
In the end, only Sister Li did not leave.
Gu Qingmeng learned from Mrs. Li that the woman was called Wang Li, the youngest daughter-in-law of the Liu family. The couple lived in the city and seldom came back.
She secretly wrote down the woman's name and planned to have a good talk with her when Pei Xinghe came back.
"Qingmeng, I have something else to ask you. Is a recipe valuable? I mean, an old recipe." Sister-in-law Li asked in a low voice.
Among the people she knew, only Gu Qingmeng was the most knowledgeable, and they had a good relationship, otherwise she would not have asked this question.
Gu Qingmeng and Han Qiongyin looked at each other. They both liked to study food and were very interested in recipes, but she was not a sucker.
"Sister Li, do you have an old recipe book? If you find a chef, maybe you can sell it for some money. Otherwise, it's just like waste paper."
Gu Qingmeng glanced at Sister Li and continued, "Sister-in-law, you know I like to study food. I wonder what kind of recipe you have. If it's suitable, how about selling it to me?"
Just as Gu Qingmeng finished speaking, she saw Sister Li take out a cookbook and hand it to her. She was so quick that she thought she was hallucinating!
"That's it, sister Qingmeng, take a look! If you like it, just pay for it."
Sister Li guessed that Gu Qingmeng would like it, so she brought a copy with her. If her eldest daughter wasn't getting married, she wouldn't have the nerve to ask about this.
She wanted to give her daughter more dowry money. This was the last thing she could do for her daughter as a mother.
Gu Qingmeng was stunned for a moment before she picked up the recipe and started to read it. The recipe paper was a little yellowed and the words inside were in traditional Chinese characters. It was indeed an old recipe.
The recipe on the menu was for nourishing soups. She had never heard of some of the ingredients, and some soups were very complicated to make, requiring stewing for more than ten hours. However, each of these soups was the chef's secret weapon.
She can use these when she makes private dishes in the hotel in the future. Although the recipes are precious, they are really worthless now.
"Sister Li, here are a few nourishing soups I could use. I can give you five dollars for the recipe. Please consider it."
Gu Qingmeng was about to return the recipe to Sister Li when she saw Sister Li running away. She said as she ran, "Okay, just five dollars. I have more at home. You wait for me to go back and get it."
Gu Qingmeng: ...
Half an hour later, Gu Qingmeng stared at the seventeen cookbooks on the table in a daze. These recipes were very messy and included all kinds of recipes. The person who collected these recipes must be a chef!
She knew that the chefs were divided into different groups at that time, and they all had their own unique skills and recipes, including a book of Tan family dishes.
"Mengmeng, put these recipes away." Han Qiongyin reminded Gu Qingmeng to hide the recipes.
These old things are difficult to find.
Gu Qingmeng also reacted. She took the recipe back to the room and put it into the space. Sister Li did not pay attention to the preservation of these recipes, and some of them had been eaten by insects.
