The angrier you are, the more you need to stay calm, otherwise you're more likely to fall into someone else's trap.
Gu An'an calmed herself down a bit, and looked at the two men who seemed to have ill intentions with a smile, "I'm someone who was kicked out of the family right after I got married, how could I dare to ask my mother-in-law and sister-in-law for help?"
The saying goes, "Don't wash your dirty linen in public," but what is Gu An'an afraid of?
She earns her living through her skills and doesn't care about the Jiang family's reputation.
We're not from a prestigious family, so why do we have so many rules?
Sister-in-law Jiang and Old Lady Jiang were both stunned, neither of them expecting Gu An'an to say such a thing.
Isn't this just a clear indication that the relationship between the mother-in-law, daughter-in-law, and sisters-in-law is bad?
Jiang's sister-in-law, who had originally planned to use this family to bind Gu An'an, was at a loss for words.
The waiting diners, however, understood the situation—it was simply that Gu Niangzi's snack business was so successful that her husband's family was envious.
But how come she was kicked out right after getting married?
Looking at the old woman's fierce and menacing appearance, it's obvious she's a wicked mother-in-law.
Immediately, some diners spoke up for Gu An'an, saying, "Madam Gu, it's not easy for you to support your family like this, where is your husband?"
Gu An'an continued, "To be honest, I've never seen it either. I've never seen it since I married into the family, but they left it to my children."
The diner was taken aback upon hearing this and instinctively said, "Is it that bad?"
She became a stepmother as soon as she entered the family and had to raise the child; it was truly tragic.
One sentence from her made Old Mrs. Jiang lose face.
Isn't this insulting her in front of outsiders?
"Third brother's wife, what nonsense are you talking about?"
They can talk about all sorts of ridiculous and absurd things; have they no shame?
Gu An'an didn't care about that. "Did I lie? Sister-in-law, you be the judge. What did I say wrong?"
There's nothing wrong with it, but it shouldn't be said that way.
Sister-in-law Jiang knew that her plan for today had failed. This brother's wife was too shrewd, and it was too difficult to get anything out of her.
"It's one thing for you to be disrespectful at home, but how can you talk to your mother like that outside? How can you raise a child well if you're so disrespectful to your elders?"
This is like throwing the mountain of filial piety at yourself.
The key point is that the last sentence, which involves a child, is even more touching.
Everyone has parents and things they can't talk about.
Even if they have grievances against their parents, which parent doesn't love their child wholeheartedly?
Is someone who disrespects elders and cannot properly educate children worth protecting?
Sure enough, one diner glared at him and turned to leave.
"I really didn't realize that this disrespect for elders was one thing, but also that it led the child astray."
"No, I've met both of Madam Gu's children, and they're both very well."
"Such young children have to come and help with the work, and you call that good?"
The diners were buzzing with discussion.
Jiang's sister-in-law was quite satisfied with what she saw. Gu An'an wouldn't let her have her way, but she had plenty of ways to make Gu An'an suffer.
Gu An'an glanced at the woman whose eyes were filled with smugness, then bent down and picked up a piece of firewood.
This action startled Sister Jiang. "What are you doing?" she cried.
The firewood was stuffed into the stove, and the fire suddenly roared to life.
"I was just adding some firewood, what wrong have you done that you think I would hit you?"
Hearing this, Sister-in-law Jiang became excited. "Listen to this, listen to this! What kind of delicious food can someone who's always shouting for war and killing make?"
Although the food at Jin Yu Man Tang was indeed quite good, seeing such a farce really turned people's appetites up.
One by one, more diners left, and the once popular food stall was now nearly empty.
Seeing this, Gu An'an was not in a hurry. She just looked at the diners who were still sitting there and said, "If this customer doesn't want to eat anymore, I can give you a refund."
She hasn't made this bowl of soup yet.
Looking at the calm-looking young woman, Twenty-Three suddenly understood why Sixth Young Master enjoyed teasing her so much.
Because she is too calm, she always arouses a bit of "malice" in people, who want to tease her and see how she will get angry.
He nodded and said succinctly, "Hurry up and do it."
Gu An'an smiled gently, "Please wait a moment, it will be ready soon."
Looking at the person chopping ingredients, Twenty-Three thought that this young woman must be skilled in martial arts.
She wielded that heavy knife with effortless ease, slicing spring rolls with perfect precision, and the egg strands were as fine as hair, yet they wouldn't break after a short boil.
But the man's feet were heavy, so he was definitely not a trained fighter.
It's probably just that she's a good cook.
Seeing Twenty-Three's fixed gaze, Sister-in-law Jiang suddenly realized something and quickly whispered in Old Madam Jiang's ear, "Mother, I think the man is more interested in Third Brother's family..."
Grandma Jiang wasn't blind; of course she could see what was going on.
She stood there, watching Gu An'an cook soup for the man, her eyes burning with rage.
This woman has been married into the family for three and a half years. When has she ever cooked a soup for her?
Making money is just a pretense these days; flirting with people in public is the real goal!
"Third brother..."
"Oh dear, I'm late today. Why are there so few people?" Tian Bu'er rushed over like a gust of wind, plopped down on the spot, and was full of questions.
In the past, we always had to wait half a day to get a meal, so why is it so deserted today?
Gu An'an smiled and said, "Everyone is busy, how can they have time to patronize my business all day long?"
