Chapter 29: New Official Takes Three Actions
Zhong Meixian looked at it and finally decided to go home first.
The family has come to recognize their relatives, and if she goes up to them without any manners at this time, wouldn't that be annoying?
Anyway, Luo Tian is not leaving, and she won't eat other people's things, so it's okay to return it two days later.
Zhong Meixian went out with some things in her hand and came back with some things in her hand soon after.
Gu Yanli was plucking chicken feathers in the yard. When he looked up and saw his mother bringing things back again, his brows furrowed.
Zhong Meixian didn't feel guilty at all, and replied confidently, "Don't look, your mother is not that greedy. She deliberately went out for a walk and brought the food back."
"I can't afford to lose such a big person."
Gu Yanli didn't doubt this, he was just afraid that his mother was easily influenced and would think the other person was right, so he hurriedly carried the things home.
However, Zhong Meixian didn't need Gu Yanli to explain, because she didn't give Gu Yanli a chance to speak at all. She had just witnessed a big gossip and was anxious to speak it out.
Wen Tang and Chi Yue happened to be in the yard, and Zhong Meixian immediately took out the posture of talking on the blackboard, "Guess why I didn't give this thing away?"
Gu Yanli did not cooperate with her, but someone else did.
Wen Tang and Chi Yue looked at each other and knew that there was something fishy going on.
So the two of them nodded immediately.
Seeing that someone was cooperating, Zhong Meixian began to talk excitedly, "That Luo Zhiqing, he looked like a generous child, but I didn't expect he was also a poor child..." Then, Zhong Meixian stood in the yard and recounted the story with exaggeration.
When Wen Tang heard that the biological child of the Luo family was willing to stay in the countryside with Luo Tian, he immediately looked at Chi Yue: Your love rival is here too.
Chi Yue: It’s okay. There are grooms in every profession. If there is no Lin Jingshen, there are still Xu Jingshen and He Jingshen. In short, if you dare to betray me, I will divorce you.
Wen Tang: My dear sister, don’t be afraid. You are definitely not alone on the road to divorce.
Zhong Meixian didn't know that the two ancestors in front of her were plotting divorce in their hearts again. She just felt dry-mouthed from talking about it.
Wen Tang saw it and quickly ran in to pour her some water.
Chi Yue also went over and took the things in her hand.
After the thing was taken, Zhong Meixian was shocked to realize that she had been standing there holding the thing for a long time.
Gu Yanli had already gone to the kitchen to chop a chicken. He was not curious about the gossip outside and had no interest in listening to it.
Wen Tang quickly poured water for the person, "Mom, drink some water," and asked the person to drink water, and at the same time, he did not forget to ask in a flattering manner, "Mom, is there any more?"
"What else did they say?"
Zhong Meixian shook her head and said, "No, I saw that the two girls said they didn't want to leave, and their mother agreed, so I didn't stand there and came back first."
After Zhong Meixian finished speaking, she heard the "dong dong" sound in the kitchen and said, "Tangtang, you see Yan Li is cooking, can you go help her?"
Zhong Meixian showed a very good attitude. Even if her daughter-in-law was unwilling, she couldn't grab her hair or kick her in the crotch, right?
In fact, Wen Tang did not, and even nodded obediently, "Okay, Mom, I'll go right away."
Wen Tang went to the kitchen to help with cooking, and Chi Yue sat in the yard talking to Zhong Meixian.
Chi Yue said to Zhong Meixian, "Grandma, you know, it's not easy for people to find a daughter-in-law these days. There's a betrothal gift, and a lot of money," Chi Yue counted on her fingers for Zhong Meixian to hear.
Zhong Meixian turned her head to look at the kitchen, then quickly picked up the teacup and drank the water tactically.
In the kitchen, Gu Yanli saw Wen Tang enter the kitchen. While busy with his work, he asked, "Why are you in the kitchen?"
"Mom asked me to help you," Wen Tang told the truth.
"No, I can do it by myself."
"Go play with Jing Shen's wife!"
Wen Tang sat down under the stove and said, "You'd better help me, otherwise I will seem like a freeloader."
Gu Yanli glanced at her and felt that what she said was wrong.
She didn't just eat for free, she paid a lot.
It's just that some things are hard to say.
"Then you light the fire and I'll do it," Gu Yanli said in a hoarse voice.
"Uh-huh!"
Wen Tang agreed very well, but when he tried to light the match, he failed several times.
It was Gu Yanli who went over, put his arms around her, held her hand, and with a little force, the match was lit.
The whole body was wrapped in masculine aura, and Wen Tang became a little clip as soon as he opened his mouth, "Thank you, brother!"
Her words made Gu Yanli look unnatural, and he could only remind her to "speak properly!"
Wen Tang continued to be angry, "How can I not speak nicely?"
Gu Yanli: "..."
But soon Wen Tang spoke properly.
"Ah, help, help!"
"Puff, puff, puff," three buckets of water were poured over, and the burning straw was finally extinguished.
Zhong Meixian and Chi Yue, who were sitting in the yard, heard the noise and ran quickly to the kitchen. The place where firewood was originally piled in the kitchen was now wet.
Gu Yanli held the ladle in one hand and protected Wen Tang, who looked frightened, behind him.
Chi Yue: You did it?
Wen Tang: It wasn’t intentional.
Zhong Meixian: No need to look, we all know who did it.
Zhong Meixian: I didn’t grab her hair or kick her in the hips, but…
Coincidentally, Gu Jinfeng and the others who had been working in the fields also came back. Seeing that they were all crowded in the kitchen, Gu Jinfeng came over and asked, "What's going on? What's going on?"
There was a strong smell of burning wood in the kitchen, and when I looked inside again...
Gu Jinfeng looked at her mother: Did she do it?
Zhong Meixian glared at her daughter: How could it be me?
Putting down the ladle in his hand, Gu Yanli pulled the person over to check carefully. After confirming that the person was not injured, he pushed the person out and said, "Go out first!"
Wen Tang thought about it and explained, "I really didn't mean it."
"Well, get out first, I'll clean up."
Gu Juyuan and Lin Liansheng also stood at the kitchen door and took a look, and then the father-in-law and son-in-law left the kitchen door silently.
They both had only one feeling in their hearts, that is, the new daughter-in-law of the Gu family was really not an ordinary person!
The first time I entered the kitchen, I burned it down...
Not only Gu Juyuan and Lin Liansheng thought so, even Zhong Meixian and Gu Jinfeng thought so too.
So when Wen Tang said it was not intentional, only Gu Yanli and Chi Yue believed it.
Zhong Meixian and the others all thought that this was a show of power from Wen Tang, their daughter-in-law.
When Wen Tang went to wash his hands in the yard, Zhong Meixian muttered to her daughter in the kitchen, "Even if you are not happy that I asked her to cook, you can't burn down the kitchen!"
Gu Jinfeng thought about it and said, "Isn't there a saying that a new official starts with three big things?"
Zhong Meixian: “Hmm?”
She didn't understand why this matter had come to this.
Gu Jinfeng smacked her lips and said, "A new official has three things to do when he takes office. She is a new daughter-in-law, so she can be considered a new official."
"But, mother, do you think this is the first one she has burned?"
Zhong Meixian "..."
It’s over, the sky has really fallen.
"Make way," Gu Yanli said to the two men, holding a pile of wet firewood.
Zhong Meixian looked at her son, then at the stove which was still covered in dust. She felt like crying at her age. “When will she light the other two fires?”
