Chapter 95 Good Man
When Mrs. Gu heard this, she couldn't help laughing and asked, "Why do you like her?"
Niuniu tilted her head and said, "Sister Cui'er used to help me collect firewood. If I collected firewood too slowly or came home too late, I wouldn't be given anything to eat."
The adults at the dinner table fell silent.
The children didn't understand, but the adults did. The so-called "not giving food if you come home too late from collecting firewood" was actually the Zhang family deliberately finding an excuse not to give Niu Niu a meal.
Niuniu smiled and said, "Now I don't have to worry about this, because no matter how late I get home, I won't be hungry, but I still like Sister Cui'er very much, she is very nice."
Boss Gu suddenly gave his wife a look.
Chen Chunhua seemed to realize something. She suddenly picked up her chopsticks, picked up a piece of tofu and stuffed it into Niuniu's bowl, saying, "Niuniu, eat quickly. Don't worry. With your uncle and I here, no one will let you go hungry!"
This time the entire dinner table fell silent, and everyone stared at Chen Chunhua in a daze.
It would be normal for other people to say this, except for Chen Chunhua who said it abnormally.
After all, the people who liked to glare at Niu Niu the most at the dinner table were Chen Chunhua and Liu Erni.
The two sisters-in-law have always had the same attitude towards the fact that they cannot stand other people's children eating more of their own food rations.
Now Chen Chunhua actually takes the initiative to pick up food for Niu Niu. It's really the sun rising in the west.
Although Gu Daya liked Niuniu very much, she also felt that this was weird and couldn't help but said, "Mom, are you hysterical? Didn't you hate..."
Before she could finish her words, Gu Daya was pinched by Chen Chunhua.
"Ouch, it hurts, please be gentler!" Gu Daya grimaced in pain.
Chen Chunhua scolded, "I told you not to talk nonsense! My favorite child in this family is Niuniu. She is so lovable!"
Gu Daya had just been punished and didn't dare to say anything to dissent. She just tilted her head and looked at Chen Chunhua with strange eyes.
Chen Chunhua has been thinking about pleasing the second wife these days. The second wife loves Niuniu the most, and she loves Niuniu too. As long as she can make Niuniu happy, Gu Mingda will definitely arrange a good way out for her eldest daughter!
Thinking of this, Chen Chunhua forced a smile towards Niu Niu.
The usually fierce face, when suddenly smiling, was not as charming as the return of spring, but rather like a pale smiling face suddenly appearing in the dark night.
Niu Niu was so frightened that her little body trembled and her hands holding the chopsticks were shaking.
Seeing her daughter's frightened look, Zhang Yunniang quickly comforted her: "Eat quickly, your aunt loves you."
Niuniu lowered her head and looked at the piece of tofu in the bowl. She picked up the chopsticks and stuffed it into her mouth, crying and saying, "I'll eat it... I'll just eat it..."
Chen Chunhua never expected that, in her rare attempt to be a good person, she ended up using too much force and pushing the child further and further away.
During this meal, Niu Niu almost buried her head in the bowl while eating. Thanks to Zhang Yuniang who occasionally picked up food for her, Niu Niu no longer took the initiative to pick up food.
After the meal, Old Lady Gu said to Old Third Gu, "Since she is so kind to Niuniu, a child who has nothing to do with her, then this girl must have good character. She will definitely treat Xiaoya and Xiaobao well after she gets married. If you think it's okay, then the marriage should be settled before the end of the year."
Gu Laosan nodded and said, "I will listen to my mother."
Old Lady Gu glared at him and said, "You keep saying you'll obey me, but don't start to regret and complain about this and that once you get through the door!"
Gu Laosan hurriedly said, "Mom, as long as he is a good person, that's enough. I just want to live a peaceful life now."
Old Mrs. Gu quickly found the matchmaker and went to propose marriage to the lame man's family. Zheng Cui'er was already 21 years old this year, and her family was more anxious about her marriage than others.
Although Gu Laosan is getting married for the second time, he is handsome, his family has houses and land, the old Gu family has a good family tradition and has already divided up, so Zheng Cuier can be the head of the family if she marries into the family.
The previous divorce caused a big uproar in the village, and the whole village knew that the Liu family was in the wrong. The Zheng family agreed to the marriage after only a slight hesitation.
Even faster than the third room's marriage, the Liu family received the betrothal gifts and hastily married Liu Erni off before the New Year, and even did not allow her to spend the New Year at her parents' home.
Old Lady Liu was also a capable person. She bargained down the originally agreed betrothal gift from fifteen taels of silver to twenty-two taels of silver.
Liu Yaoer was throwing a tantrum at home, but the other brothers of the Liu family did not tolerate him and refused to pay any extra money.
Even because his wedding cost too much, the other daughters-in-law started to make a fuss, and Old Lady Liu spent the whole year in quarrels.
The Gu family's situation is relatively stable.
The couple in the first wife have now thought it through and are trying their best to please the second wife. Even without Liu Erni, Gu Laosan can't make a fuss.
Thinking about it carefully, Grandma Gu and Gu Mingda actually felt that this Chinese New Year was the most peaceful and harmonious one in the past ten years.
"These pastries are very expensive, so you should eat them sparingly." Chen Chunhua shared the pastries among the three children with a painful look on her face.
Gu Daya said casually: "Mom, give me one more piece, Niuniu and I can share it."
When Chen Chunhua heard this, although her eyes were full of reluctance, she still took one more piece and handed it to her daughter.
When the two elder brothers Gu Yun and Gu Jin heard this, they also rolled their eyes and said in unison: "We want to share with A Yan and A Zhao, so give us one more piece."
Chen Chunhua's face turned stern and she said, "You two little brats, I don't know you! Ah Yan studies all day and never goes out, and you look down on Ah Zhao because he is young and rarely take him to play with you!"
Seeing that they couldn't get a bite of food, Gu Yun and Gu Jin made faces at their sister and said, "Mom is biased!"
Chen Chunhua wanted to fight, but the two boys ran away very quickly.
Gu Daya was about to go out with the cakes in her pocket when she was stopped by Chen Chunhua again.
"Don't just play around, tell Niu Niu more about how good your big brother is, okay?" Chen Chunhua grabbed her daughter and admonished her.
Gu Daya nodded perfunctorily and said, "I know, I know."
There are many children in the Gu family, but they don't always play together. For example, an older child like Gu Yun would never take care of a younger child like Gu Zhao, nor would he play with a girl like Gu Daya.
But children don’t have such requirements. Gu Zhao, Niu Niu, Da Ya and Xiao Ya often play together.
"Why hasn't your stepmother come in yet? Do we have to take him with us every day?" Gu Daya glanced at her younger brother Gu Xiaobao behind Xiaoya with disdain.
Gu Xiaobao was only three years old. He was short and had short legs. It took them a long time to run. They were not willing to play with him.
Gu Xiaobao sniffed his snot when he heard this and said, "You treat me badly, I'm going to tell my dad!"
But the others didn't take the kid's threat seriously. Gu Daya strode up to him and said, "Just tell your dad, we won't play with you anymore!"
Gu Xiaobao was so scared that he didn't dare to say anything about the complaint, and said instead: "Aunt Wang said that stepmothers are bad people, I don't want a stepmother to come into my house."
Gu Xiaoya slapped him casually: "You don't have the final say! Niuniu said she is a good person, so she must be a good person!"
