“These things…”
When Gu Keqing took it out from the space last night, it was piled together with the dowry.
But then I thought, the Gu family is so stingy, how could they possibly give so much food and meat?
So she smiled and said, "Some of my sisters from my school days gave it to me along with my dowry."
Mother Shen was relieved at this moment. It would cost a lot of money to buy these foods.
The Shen family cannot take things of unknown origin.
"Mom, let's make some potatoes and beef brisket for lunch, steam some buns with two-grain flour, and scramble some green peppers and eggs. Let Chen Yan have a full stomach so he has the strength to work."
Gu Keqing scooped a large bowl of white flour as he spoke.
She didn't even have the courage to mention steamed pure white flour buns.
After all, I was afraid that Shen's mother would notice that something was wrong.
"Okay, you help me light the fire and pick the vegetables, and I'll cook them."
Before going to the countryside, Shen's mother was the commander's wife, and her food, clothing and daily necessities were all good.
So I feel very relieved to see my daughter-in-law caring so much about her son.
Without refusing, the two of them started working together.
While making a fire, Gu Keqing recalled the description of the Shen family in the book.
Chen Yan is the second child, with an older brother, Shen Long, and a younger brother, Shen Ming.
There are three brothers in the family, and Father Shen, formerly Commander Shen, all went to work.
Shen Long's wife Qi Zhiyun is the cousin of the heroine Qi Zhilan in the book.
As the saying goes, those who are close to water get the moon first.
According to the plot, Qi Zhilan was able to finally get together with Shen Yan thanks to the matchmaking of this good sister-in-law.
Gu Keqing guessed this in his heart.
So, she thought of waiting for her sister-in-law to come back, test the waters, and then act accordingly.
"Mom, has my sister-in-law gone to work too?"
Gu Keqing asked casually.
"Well, she's not in good health and can't do heavy work, so we assigned her lighter tasks like mowing grass for pigs and pulling weeds. She only earns three work points a day, so it's not too tiring."
Mother Shen said this with regret while cutting beef.
"Not feeling well?"
Gu Keqing recalls the plot.
Mrs. Shen suffered from heart palpitations, but the medical care she received in the countryside was limited, so her treatment was delayed.
After that, he stopped going to work and stayed at home all year round. His mental state became bad.
"Sister-in-law is feeling unwell, right?"
"Yeah, it's hard for you to care so much about your sister-in-law right after you got married."
After Shen's mother cut half a piece of beef, she was reluctant to cut any more. When she was about to put it away, she was stopped by Gu Keqing.
"Mom, my sister-in-law is not in good health. She needs to eat more meat to replenish her body. I have some medicine here. I will give it to her when she comes back."
Gu Keqing originally wanted to say that the medicine could definitely cure the disease, but after thinking about it, he felt that he couldn't say anything too confidently.
Anyway, there are all kinds of panaceas in the space, and it will be cured sooner or later, but the treatment process will take a longer time.
"Oh, my dear, it's hard for you, but this meat..."
When Mother Shen was the commander's wife, she had eaten all kinds of good things.
Now that I'm in trouble, I want to eat something good, but I'm afraid to do so.
Gu Keqing looked at Mother Shen's dilemma, smiled and said to her:
"Mom, just do what you want. You don't have to worry about the food, clothing, and expenses of the family. I'm here. I make a lot of money and I won't let you go hungry. Since I'm married to you, Shen Yan and I will be filial to you and won't let you suffer anymore."
"It's just... Mom, I can't do the farm work, so I'll help support the family in other ways. Is that okay?"
Gu Keqing has made up her mind to become a rich woman in this era. Since she wants to make a fortune through business, she certainly can't go to the fields to earn a few work points.
So in order to avoid family conflicts, she decided to say it in advance to avoid estrangement between the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, which would make Chen Yan's job difficult.
