Chapter 39 Sister-in-law cheats again
Xue was stunned for a moment and turned to look at her sister-in-law.
Their eyes met, and Gu Xiaoxi stepped forward and took the rabbit from his sister-in-law's hand.
She is faster than her sister-in-law in collecting prey.
Xue sat silently on the stool, watching her sister-in-law skillfully pack the rabbit.
Gu Xiaoxi didn't care about Xue. She went out for a while, got some brown rice from her mother's room, and came in to cook.
When Xue saw her sister-in-law bring the pot over, she stepped forward to take it and start cooking.
Gu Xiaoxi took the big pot from home and stewed the rabbit meat.
The villagers were chatting in the yard, talking about the creek.
Suddenly, they smelled a fragrance, and the young men including Gu Cheng started to feel their stomachs growling.
"It smells so good! Our rabbit meat isn't that delicious!" Gu Cheng couldn't help swallowing his saliva.
Not only does his family sell pork, they are also hunters and occasionally go into the mountains to hunt. He has eaten a lot of rabbit meat over the years.
"Yes, I have never smelled such a delicious meat." Gu Yue also touched his belly.
Gu Xiaoxi looked at the bowls at home and felt a little embarrassed.
The kitchen was actually short of dishes and chopsticks for the guests. She smiled helplessly, turned around and walked to the door of the house and said loudly: "My dear brothers and uncles, I'm sorry, there are not enough bowls at home. Can you bring some bowls over?"
"Of course, come on, let's go back and get the bowl." Uncle Gu was almost drooling, but he was just embarrassed because he was the elder.
Once Uncle Gu Qi took the lead, the others also went back one after another.
The few people who lived closest to their house came back quickly, holding the bowls they usually used for eating at home.
Everyone eats from similar bowls, but the villagers use large bowls.
Gu Xiaoxi also guessed this, so she spent a lot of money on cooking today.
I was afraid that the cooking pot was not enough, so I steamed another big pot.
Seeing this, Mrs. Xue whispered, "If Mother saw you cooking so much, she would probably be heartbroken."
"Favors must be repaid. If someone helps us in times of crisis, we should remember it. If she wants to say it, then just say it." Gu Xiaoxi felt that it was okay. When she came back tomorrow, she would just buy some food.
After hearing what her sister-in-law said, Xue felt that things were really different from before.
My sister-in-law used to be very stingy, and it was simply a daydream to think of getting some food from her.
What does she want to do?
Could it be that he wanted to wait until the family made money so that his sister-in-law could cheat him out of a big sum?
Thinking of this possibility, she immediately shut her mouth and decided to wait and see.
Gu Xiaoxi didn't care what her sister-in-law thought. She waited until everyone was present, collected the bowls, and arranged them on the table. She served the rice first and then distributed the meat to everyone.
The rabbit was not small, and some bamboo shoots dug from the mountain and wild ginger were placed in it to remove the fishy smell.
Including my family, there are eighteen people in total, so I can put a small spoonful in each bowl.
Four rabbit legs were left out, belonging to the two daughters and Dani, and were temporarily placed in the pot, waiting for the adults to eat their fill before letting the children come and eat.
The family rarely invited guests to dinner, and there was no big table, so Gu Xiaoxi could only ask everyone to come in and take their bowls.
A group of people squatted in the yard with their bowls in hand and began to eat with relish.
"It smells so good, Xiaoxi. I didn't expect you have such cooking skills." Gu Cheng couldn't stop eating.
Their family lives a relatively good life in the village, but they don't eat like this.
Although it was all brown rice, everyone's bowl was overflowing. The Heshu family had invested a fortune. "Later, I learned from my master. My master is a first-rate cook," Gu Xiaoxi said casually.
After dinner, everyone walked out of Gu He's house very satisfied.
Gu Xiaoxi followed him out and told the two men with more serious injuries, "Seventh Uncle, Gu Yue, I'm going out tomorrow. Come over around now so I can change the dressing on your wounds."
"No need, girl. This kind of injury is nothing. It will be healed in a few days." Uncle Qi could see that the girl really wanted to reform herself, so there was no need for her to come and eat for free.
Gu Yue was not the kind of person who liked to take advantage of others. He knew what kind of life he had lived with his uncle's family over the years.
Today, we finally got a rabbit and cooked it all for everyone to eat. He also hurriedly shook his head: "I, I have to go out tomorrow, so I won't come. Don't worry, I'm tough and I'll be fine."
Gu Xiaoxi also knew that people in the village rarely went to other people's houses for dinner, not because the villagers were inhospitable, but because each household was short of money.
Today's reception is very grand.
After seeing the villagers off, Gu Xiaoxi closed the gate of the yard and then went to the back yard to pick up the backpack he had brought back in the afternoon.
After pouring out the thorn balls inside, she went out through the back door again.
After running twice and returning with four baskets, she felt that was enough.
Gu An did not leave immediately, but helped to peel out the thorn balls.
"Sister-in-law, come with us to the city tomorrow. Mom can rest at home for a day." Gu Xiaoxi said after she finished.
"No, I'll go. I don't feel safe letting her go." Chai felt that her eldest daughter-in-law didn't trust her daughter at all. She was afraid that something might happen.
Xue knew that her mother-in-law was still angry about what happened today, so she lowered her head and apologized: "Mother, I'm sorry today. I shouldn't have distrusted my sister."
snort!
Chai snorted coldly!
"Then big brother, can you accompany me to the headquarters?" Gu Xiaoxi thought that since his sister-in-law was not needed, he should let his big brother go.
"Your elder brother will go." Chai finally agreed.
Gu Dongming also felt that what his wife did today was really shameful, and he didn't intend to speak for her. He nodded slightly and agreed.
"Xiaoxi, your room will be ready tomorrow." Gu An said.
"Thank you, uncle. It will probably take a few days for what I promised you to do." Gu Xiaoxi thanked his uncle.
"It's okay. Let's talk about it when you're done with your work." Gu An just thought she was joking.
Gu He sent his younger brother out the door. After his younger brother took a few steps forward, he suddenly spoke: "Little brother, the backyard can be lived in now. The third child will live in the backyard with Xiaoxi, and his room will be empty. Otherwise, you can move in and live here, so that everyone can take care of each other."
Gu An didn't expect his elder brother to say such words. He felt warm in his heart, smiled slightly and shook his head: "Brother, I'm used to the quietness. It's better for me to live over there."
When Gu He heard his brother say this, he didn't know whether this was really the reason or he was worried that there would not be enough food with one more mouth to feed at home.
"Brother!" he cried sadly in his heart.
Gu An still had a smile on his face: "Brother, don't think too much, I'm going back first."
Gu He stood at the door and watched his younger brother leave, but he didn't return to the yard for a long time.
Seeing this, Chai came out, patted her husband and said, "When we have some money, we will bring him back."
Um!
Gu He's response had a heavy nasal tone.
Gu Xiaoxi saw all of this and became even more determined to build a house at the foot of the mountain.
After everyone went to bed, she quietly went out.
