The next morning, Grandma Li came to ask, "Did you go to help that family on the back street deliver a baby last night?"
Grandma Yu: "Ah, that's true."
"What?!" Grandma Li exclaimed in shock. "Why did you go to help them with their baby delivery? Don't you know they're incredibly difficult to deal with?"
Grandma Yu: "I really didn't know. You know, in the past few years, I lived in a daze, only thinking about begging for food. I didn't care about those things."
Hearing Grandma Yu say this, Grandma Li recalled the circumstances Grandma Yu had experienced in the past.
He sighed, "It's also my fault for not telling you beforehand."
Since Lan Yao came, Grandma Yu has lived a very comfortable and peaceful life all these years, without any worries. She looks radiant and younger, as if she has become 20 years younger.
Grandma Li also knew why Grandma Yu had become like this.
It's only because the gloom in their hearts has disappeared and new vitality has been injected into their hearts that they have new hope and have become like this.
Grandma Yu rolled her eyes at him, annoyed: "What does this have to do with you? Don't always try to take the blame upon yourself."
Grandma Li smiled and said, "I admit I was wrong, okay?"
So Grandma Li then told Grandma Yu about the family's bizarre behavior.
Their family is a family that favors sons over daughters, and they are single-mindedly focused on having a grandson.
Their family used to have only one son per generation, and each generation would produce several daughters. Only when the wife was about to lose her fertility would a son be born.
Although their family wasn't well-off, their standards for finding a wife were indeed quite high.
The woman who had a difficult childbirth. She married her husband, a gay man, through a love marriage.
The mother-in-law was dissatisfied with her daughter-in-law from the beginning, feeling that her family was of too low social standing and that her family was in decline, so she strongly opposed the relationship.
However, the husband of the woman experiencing a difficult childbirth was determined to marry her. Finally, the mother-in-law couldn't resist and had to agree to the marriage.
However, the other party neither offers nor is willing to pay a bride price.
Therefore, their meeting was particularly unpleasant.
But in the end, for reasons unknown, the couple got married. Not long after, the woman became pregnant.
However, ever since that woman married into the man's family, she has been causing trouble every day, yet she still has to serve the whole family.
Even during her pregnancy, she still had to take care of the whole family. All the housework—washing dishes, cooking, cleaning—was her responsibility.
The woman who had a difficult childbirth still had to go to work.
Even when she was pregnant, many elderly women looked at her belly and said that she was definitely having a girl.
Therefore, her mother-in-law treated her even less well.
On several occasions, the woman's mother-in-law tried to abort the child.
It's unclear whether the baby in the woman's womb was lucky or not, but after several such ordeals, the woman became pregnant just before she was about to give birth.
Upon hearing this, Grandma Yu's eyes flashed with disgust, and she couldn't help but say, "That family is truly disgusting. How could they do such a heinous thing? That woman was lucky; otherwise, she might really be dead this time."
Grandma Li chimed in, "That's right. I've never seen such a bizarre family. I'd heard rumors about them before, but they were just hearsay without any concrete evidence. I never expected this..."
Lan Yao yawned and came out of the house. When she saw Grandma Li, she greeted her with a smile: "Grandma Li, why are you here so early in the morning? Is there some gossip? Don't leave later, have dinner at home. Gu Zixiao is back, Grandma Li, you can try his cooking. Recently, Gu Zixiao's cooking skills have been completely upgraded, and they are now comparable to those of the master chefs in state-run restaurants."
Grandma Li: "Gu Zixiao is back? This mission took quite a long time, almost a year, right?"
I've come to talk to you, Grandma Yu, about the family on the back street who had a difficult childbirth.
I won't try Gu Zixiao's cooking. Let's do it another time."
Grandma Li and Grandma Yu have been best friends for over ten years. Grandma Li often visits Grandma Yu's house whenever she has free time.
She knew exactly what Gu Zixiao's skills were like.
She had also tried to dissuade Grandma Yu from her objections.
Gu Zixiao was indeed very arrogant at the beginning, acting like he was the most important person in the world.
That is indeed the case.
Given his high social standing, it's understandable that he might be a bit arrogant.
But ever since he started relentlessly pursuing Lan Yao, things have changed noticeably.
From being cold and aloof to now being gentle and eloquent.
That change is not just a little bit.
Moreover, anyone with eyes can see that Gu Zixiao likes Lan Yao.
That's really... Grandma Li thought for a moment and it seemed crazy.
An extremely obsessive obsession and a crazy love.
For example, in the first two years, Lan Yao ate well, slept well, and was well cared for, so she didn't have any worries.
Naturally, they are more outstanding in appearance.
Some short-sighted old ladies wanted to introduce Lan Yao to potential partners.
When Gu Zixiao found out about this, she really went to great lengths to do so.
They spent a little money to have someone beat up each of the old lady's sons every day.
They went to bother that family in the middle of the night, and I heard that there were all sorts of low groans and screams, or the whole yard was filled with chicken blood.
In short, the family that was put through all that trouble was filled with fear and regret.
Then, that family asked someone to find connections to Grandma Li and have her plead their case.
Grandma Li was also very angry when she heard this, so she scolded the family severely and then told Lan Yao about it.
Lan Yao pretended not to understand, and smiled meaningfully: "I never thought there would be such a fun thing, it's a pity I won't be able to see it."
His expression was regretful, but also indifferent.
That family didn't cause any more trouble that day.
Because of this incident, everyone knows that Lan Yao is someone you shouldn't mess with.
She has a fiancé, who cherishes her dearly and is waiting for her to reach the legal marriage age to get married.
Although everyone knew that Lan Yao had a fiancé, most people thought that the two of them could not possibly get together.
But now...
Gu Zixiao came out of the kitchen, saw Grandma Li and smiled and nodded at her, then naturally walked to Lan Yao's side, touched her cheek and asked, "How was it? Did you sleep well last night? I made beef noodles today. It's cold today, so you can have something warm in the morning. I also made big steamed buns with radish, vermicelli and meat, I guarantee you'll want more after you eat them."
Grandma Li and Grandma Yu, two old best friends, exchanged a glance. Grandma Li patted her friend's shoulder with a look of sympathy, "You've suffered."
Grandma Yu snorted.
