Hearing the arguing coming from the Gan family's courtyard, Gan Li raised her hand and placed it in front of the door, unsure whether to knock or not.
Furthermore, what do they mean by 'famine'? Who does the Gan family owe money to?
As she was wondering what was going on, the door was suddenly pulled open from the inside, and she came face to face with a woman whose face was covered in tears.
Because Gan Li had the original owner's memories, she quickly recognized the woman in front of her as Zhao Shi, the wife of the original owner's elder brother Gan Mingli.
In the original owner's memory, Zhao was usually quite strong-willed. After being married into the Gan family for decades, she had never cried except when she was in unbearable pain during childbirth.
But now, Zhao Shi in front of me had a red nose and her eyes were swollen like peaches. She had obviously been crying for a long time and looked very pitiful.
Gan Li didn't think anything of it at first, but when she saw the undisguised hatred and disgust in Zhao's eyes as she looked at her, she came to her senses—yes, she had transmigrated!
Today, she is no longer the modern food blogger Gan Li, but Gan, the ultimate young lady from an unknown ancient dynasty!
That troublemaker Zhao was talking about is the real deal!
Gan Li felt a little awkward. Seeing Zhao Shi glaring at her, she felt it wouldn't be right not to greet her, so she stiffly raised her hand and gave Zhao Shi a dry greeting: "Hello, sister-in-law..."
When Zhao saw the people standing at the door, the one leading them was none other than her annoying sister-in-law! Thinking of how her husband had defended his sister so fiercely just now, she felt both angry and bitter. Now that the culprit who had caused their quarrel was right in front of her, Zhao naturally didn't have a good look on her face.
She glared at Ganli and demanded, "What are you doing here?"
Before she could finish speaking, she remembered that her sister-in-law had rushed over early in the morning, not to see her sick father, but to covet her family's secret recipe!
Although her father-in-law rejected her when her sister-in-law came to speak this morning, she had seen through it all after being married into the Gan family for so many years! There was no reason why her parents-in-law, her husband, or even her brother-in-law would show favoritism towards this younger sister.
Plus, this sister-in-law is used to crying, making a scene, and threatening suicide. Now that she's back, she'll probably make a scene and force me to go home and ask for the secret recipe.
Thinking of this, Zhao's expression changed immediately. She stepped forward, blocking the door completely to prevent her from entering, and asked warily:
"You're still not giving up, are you? You've already ruined this family, and now you want to ruin my family too? Let me tell you, I will never give you my family's secret recipe!"
Behind her, Gan Mingli saw his wife walking out and had been following her. Hearing what she said, he was startled and quickly took two steps forward to see what was going on. He then saw that it was his younger sister who had come again.
He was also annoyed by what his younger sister had been doing lately, but hearing his wife speak to their daughter-in-law like that made him feel sorry for her. He nudged her gently and said, "How can you talk like that?"
"How can I speak to her like this?" Zhao was taken aback, then fiercely slapped his hand away. "She's almost ruined our family, and I'm being polite to her! You all feel sorry for her, but who cares about my two children? If that matter isn't resolved..."
"Say less!" Gan Mingli interrupted her hastily, his face showing panic. Then, he looked at his younger sister guiltily, but was startled when he saw the bandage on her head that was seeping blood: "What happened to your head?"
Seeing that his words had drawn everyone's attention to her head, Gan Li subconsciously raised her hand to touch the bandage on her head and said apologetically, "It's a long story... Brother, let's go inside and talk about it first?"
Gan Mingli was about to nod subconsciously, but Zhao stepped in front of Gan Li, interrupting him first:
"No way! You never bring good news when you come here. This morning, even Grandpa was almost driven crazy by you! He's already said he's not letting you into this house anymore!"
Upon hearing this, Gan Li turned to Gan Mingli and asked, "Brother, is this true?"
It's no wonder she didn't believe it; in her memory, Old Man Gan used to dote on his daughter, the original owner. Even after the secret formula was leaked, when the original owner came this morning, Old Man Gan couldn't bear to question her in a harsh tone.
Gan Mingli saw his younger sister looking at him with disbelief in her big eyes, and his heart ached. But remembering what his father had said earlier that day... he hardened his heart and lowered his head, refusing to look at his sister's face.
He worried that if he looked at the truth, he wouldn't be able to resist telling his younger sister the truth, and then his younger sister would have to worry and get upset along with the whole family.
Ganli didn't know what he was thinking. Seeing his silent attitude, she assumed he was agreeing, which made her feel a chill, but she wasn't surprised at all.
She, an outsider, was already angry about what the original owner had done, let alone her family members who doted on her. They must have been even more heartbroken. Now that they were disheartened, it was only natural that they would stop caring about her.
Gan Li knew this principle, but she had no choice at the moment. She desperately needed a place to stay temporarily, so even though she knew that the Gan family did not like her, she could not back down.
She shamelessly pretended not to understand Gan Mingli's meaning and said anxiously:
"Brother, say something! Did Dad really say that? He fainted this morning from anger. I was so worried that I rushed home to ask a doctor to take a look at him..."
Is he still blaming me? Or has he not woken up yet? Oh dear, if so, we can't delay! The doctor's here now, let's quickly have him go in and check on Dad!"
As she spoke, as if afraid that Gan Mingli wouldn't believe her, she quickly pulled over the doctor beside her and said, "Doctor, please go and take a look at my father!"
Did my younger sister call a doctor for Dad?
Gan Mingli, who had been looking down, suddenly raised his head. When he saw the person standing next to his younger sister carrying a medicine box, and realized that he was indeed a doctor, the disbelief in his eyes turned into emotion.
He was initially a little annoyed that his younger sister had angered their father to the point of fainting and then ran away in the chaos. But now, seeing his younger sister's anxious expression and the doctor accompanying her, he realized that they had misunderstood her!
But soon he realized something was wrong—his younger sister never cared about the household. Not to mention calling a doctor, she would ask her mother-in-law for money even if she only spent a penny on a daily basis. As a result, the family had to subsidize her quite a bit, both openly and secretly.
This time, my younger sister has no money to call a doctor, so she'll definitely have to ask her mother-in-law for some. That old woman, Granny Lü, is quite shrewd; would she easily give my younger sister money to call a doctor?
Gan Mingli had a gut feeling that something was wrong. His eyes flashed and when he saw the blood-soaked gauze on Gan Li's head, he immediately connected it with the matter of calling a doctor.
It must be because my younger sister insisted on calling a doctor for my father, which angered Granny Lü. During the argument, my younger sister was beaten by that vicious mother and son!
That damned Chen Danian, how could he treat my little sister so cruelly!
