Chapter 135 Gossip
Old Mrs. Gu looked at the old sisters she was familiar with and found that they had hardly changed at all. When it came to the table, they still fought over the food, their faces almost deformed, for fear of missing out on a piece of meat.
There was also an old lady who cared more about the sisterhood and shouted at Old Lady Gu: "What are you still dawdling about? If you don't grab the food, it will be gone!"
Old Mrs. Gu waved her hand. She had eaten all kinds of delicious food in the county and had even eaten in big restaurants many times. Why would she care about these melons and dates in the countryside?
But her older sister turned around, trying to grab the food, and sighed to the people around her: "She has really become rich. She doesn't even fight for the food anymore!"
Old Mrs. Gu kept bragging about how good her life was, her new clothes and the gold hairpins in her hair, but this group of people actually thought she was just bragging.
But now, Old Lady Gu no longer fights for food at banquets. They really believe that Old Lady Gu is living a good life in the city.
The old women sighed twice, then put it behind them and went back to the task of grabbing vegetables.
"Niuniu, eat quickly. We don't have to go out and fight with others for it. Just eat in your room." Chen Chunhua handed a bowl of rice topped with meat and vegetables to Niuniu.
As the eldest sister-in-law, even if Chen Chunhua has an average relationship with the third wife, she has to help with all her strength when there is a wedding. It is difficult for her to stay in the kitchen, but she can still find time to bring a bowl of rice to Niu Niu.
Niuniu didn't eat it immediately after taking it. Instead, she looked at Zheng Cui'er who was sitting on the wedding bed and whispered, "Aunt, Sister Cui'er hasn't eaten yet."
Chen Chunhua immediately slapped her forehead and said, "Look at me, I forgot to prepare meals for my third brother's wife."
It wasn't that she forgot on purpose, she just felt that Zheng Cui'er was not important, so she didn't take it seriously.
Her son's future still depends on the second wife, so Chen Chunhua is now able to lower her head. After Niu Niu said this, she turned around and went into the kitchen and brought back another bowl of food.
Niuniu jumped down from the chair, ran to Zheng Cui'er, took her hand, and said softly, "Sister Cui'er, come and eat."
Zheng Cui'er got up early in the morning and combed her hair. She was busy for so long and was indeed hungry. She immediately lifted the red veil and followed Niuniu to the table in the room.
"Sister Cui'er, you look so beautiful today." Niu Niu praised.
The child's eyes were clear and sincere, but Zheng Cui'er knew her own situation and said, "I have such a big scar on my face, no matter how I dress up, I won't look good."
Niuniu shook her head and said, "Actually, if I look at you more, I really think you are very beautiful."
Zheng Cui'er has a pretty face, but her birthmark is too big.
Her birthmark is light red, which looks very abrupt at first glance, but after looking at it more often, it doesn't matter.
Zheng Cui'er forced a smile and said, "Niuniu, thank you for comforting me."
She is just an ordinary girl. Her marriage has encountered many twists and turns over the years, and she has become inferior and sensitive. Although she is now married to a divorced man, she is still worried about his opinion.
Niuniu was unhappy and said, "I was telling the truth. Sister Cui'er is very pretty. Niuniu didn't lie."
Zheng Cui'er held Niuniu in her arms and said softly, "Okay, okay, it was my sister who said the wrong thing. Our Niuniu is the most obedient child."
Niuniu muttered softly, "I was right in the beginning. Sister Cui'er is beautiful and kind-hearted. It is a blessing for our family that she can marry into our family."
Although she knew that what a child said could not be counted, Zheng Cui'er was still very happy. She asked again: "Niuniu, are you happy staying in this house?"
When Niu Niu heard this question, she immediately became excited.
"I'm happy. I live a life like a god in this family. My parents and grandparents are all very kind to me. Whenever there is something delicious, they will never leave me out. My grandparents also often cook special meals for me..."
When talking about the good qualities of her family, Niu Niu feels like she could talk about it for three days and three nights.
Zheng Cui'er listened patiently. While she was happy for Niu Niu, she couldn't help thinking that the Gu family must be kind in nature to be so good to their granddaughter who was not related to them by blood. She also had more confidence in her future life.
"Sister, do you know what my grandma said about you?" Niu Niu asked.
Zheng Cui'er immediately became nervous, afraid that her mother-in-law didn't like her.
"My grandmother said that your family has a good tradition, that your parents are good people, and that the daughter they raised will definitely be good. She also said that you are quick and diligent, and that you and your wife will definitely live in harmony in the future." Niu Niu repeated the old lady's words in a serious manner.
This also gave Zheng Cui'er some reassurance, at least her mother-in-law liked her.
The wedding banquet in Qingshui Village was lunch, and after lunch the second room prepared to return.
Chen Chunhua had been busy for most of the day and had some free time to talk to Gu Yun.
"I heard that your second uncle has a braised food shop in the city. When did it open? How is the business? How much does it make a day?"
Chen Chunhua's series of questions almost stunned Gu Yun.
He said unhappily, "Mom, are you trying the prisoner?"
Chen Chunhua said: "I'm just curious."
Gu Yun is no longer the ignorant Gu Yun of the past. After several months of experience in the government office, he can understand what my mother is thinking with just a glance.
"What does the braised food shop have to do with you? Stop asking!"
Chen Chunhua slapped him and said, "You've grown so powerful that you're scolding me!"
Gu Yun was unhappy: "I wasn't wrong!"
Chen Chunhua muttered quietly, "I don't know where they got the recipe for the stewed food. Was it given by your grandparents? If it was passed down from the Gu family's ancestors, we should have a copy."
Gu Yun almost laughed when he heard this, and said, "You are so bold, why don't you tell me that grandpa and grandma have hidden several houses in the county? If you continue like this, I'll come back once every six months. I'm tired of listening to your nonsense calculations every day!"
When Chen Chunhua heard this, she immediately became anxious. She also knew that her guess was a bit outrageous. Although the old couple favored the second wife, they were always clear about money matters.
"Alright, alright, just ignore what I said. You should also be careful. If you can really stay in the city in the future, then find a city wife. When your father and I get old, we can still live in the city and enjoy our lives..."
Chen Chunhua's chattering made Gu Yun feel very annoyed.
"Alright, alright, stop repeating these same old things. It's getting late. I think I hear someone calling outside. I want to go back to the county." Gu Yun said impatiently.
Seeing her son leaving, Chen Chunhua felt reluctant and said, "You've just come back and you want to go back. Can't you ask for a few more days off from the government office?"
Gu Yun replied casually: "Alright, then I'll ask my second uncle to tell my master, but it's a pity that it was originally my turn to patrol the market tomorrow..."
There was a lot of money to be made from patrolling the market, and the police could earn about two cents of silver each time. Gu Yun had also mentioned this to Chen Chunhua.
When Chen Chunhua heard this, she immediately urged, "The house is full of tatters and there's nothing good to keep. Go back quickly."
Chen Chunhua changed her previous reluctant look and wanted to kick the person out on the spot.
