Grandpa Gu is an old and shrewd man, although Mother Gu hasn't said who gave her the things yet!
But he knew his own son and daughter-in-law well. How could he accept it if it was given by someone else? Thinking about the red sausage that Lin Manman gave him last time and the fact that Gu Yanting had just returned from Heilongjiang Province, he guessed who did it!
Thinking that this was specially fried for him by his grandson's wife, Grandpa Gu softened up and gently picked up a meatball and put it in his mouth.
Suddenly, the aroma of the fried meatballs burst in my mouth, and Grandpa Gu praised:
"This meatball is fried well, just like the red sausage I ate. It tastes delicious. Okay, okay, hurry up and sit down and try it!"
"Yueying, you are in such a hurry to bring me salted duck eggs. You haven't had breakfast yet? Go back and eat quickly. People at home will be anxious waiting for you to have breakfast!"
After that, Grandpa Gu said to Mrs. Li:
"The duck eggs that were distributed last time haven't been touched yet, right? Take them back to Yueying. All the salted duck eggs from her family have been brought here, so there aren't enough duck eggs left. Let her take some back and pickle them. We'll be able to eat new ones in a few days!"
Grandpa Gu's words were clearly to protect Gu Yanting. Of course, although he did not mention Lin Manman, he was still supporting Lin Manman!
As for Zhang Yueying, that's a slap in the face!
Zhang Yueying didn't expect that Grandpa Gu would not invite her to dinner and would even be so disrespectful to her. Zhang Yueying called out "Grandpa" in a crying voice and ran away without looking back!
This has made Zhang Yueying sad. She probably won’t be able to face coming to the Gu family for the next few days!
The atmosphere in the Gu family did not become worse because Zhang Yueying ran away. Instead, Mother Gu was relieved. She was annoyed that morning!
Gu Yanting was in a better mood. He stopped being annoyed by others when he saw Zhang Yueying. This annoying person was finally gone!
Grandpa Gu didn't take this matter seriously and called Gu Yanting, mother of Gu:
"Hurry up and sit here to eat. These meatballs are really delicious. They suit my taste. I have to eat more!"
Seeing that Grandpa Gu liked it, Mother Gu smiled and said:
"I like to eat more, there's still plenty!"
"Dad, you can tell how honest Manman is. He packed a box of fried food, 6 packages of each, a total of six kinds, and it was packed bulging! How much effort must it have taken!"
"It's delicious, too. We all tasted the leftovers from Yan Ting's bag yesterday. Both the sweet and salty ones were delicious. Even Lao Gu said they were good!"
Grandpa Gu didn't say anything, but the expression on his face showed that he was very satisfied!
Gu Yanting was even more proud than when his mother praised him!
The Gu family is harmonious and happy, but the atmosphere in the Zhang family is not so good!
Father Zhang is two levels lower than Father Gu, so the house he got cannot be compared with Grandpa Gu, let alone with Dad and Mom Gu!
Moreover, Zhang Yueying’s two elder brothers were not very good either. They did not get any housing in their respective units, so the whole family was squeezed into the three-bedroom house allocated to them by Zhang’s father!
Because Zhang Yueying's two brothers are married, the other two rooms in the house naturally belong to her brother and sister-in-law!
Zhang Yueying also has a younger brother who is 2 years younger than Zhang Yueying and is not married yet!
When Zhang Yueying was a child, the Zhang family favored boys over girls, so Zhang Yueying was not favored and was not even allowed to live in a room!
However, as Zhang Yueying grew older and better, the Zhang family wanted her to marry into the Gu family, and Zhang Yueying gradually became favored!
But no matter how favored she was, she could not surpass her brother, so naturally the other two rooms in the house belonged to her brother!
But Zhang Yueying also insisted on living on her own, and Zhang's parents had no choice but to partition off a small room for her in the living room!
The living room at that time was very different from the large living rooms in later generations. It was very small, just enough to fit a large dining table where the whole family could sit down and eat!
So, in order to separate this small room for her, the Zhang family’s dining table is very small, the whole family has to stand while eating, and the lighting in the living room is not good!
Zhang Yueying's younger brother naturally didn't have his own room, and had to squeeze into the master bedroom with Zhang's father and mother!
Therefore, the Zhang family is very anxious about Zhang Yueying's marriage, because if Zhang Yueying gets married, the Zhang family will benefit from one person's success, and Zhang Yueying's younger brother will have a place to get married!
Seeing Zhang Yueying running back crying, Zhang's mother hurried forward and asked:
"Yueying, why are you back? Didn't you say Gu Yanting was back? Why are you guarding the Gu family?"
"Why do you keep crying the more you talk, kid? Gu Yanting left again?"
"What's the big deal? Isn't he always busy? Being busy is not a good thing. You are wrong. Your husband is busy with his career outside, and you are always crying. If your Aunt Gu sees you, she will be unhappy!"
"Mom, let me tell you, in life, it is certainly important to make your man happy, but you have to consider your mother-in-law's feelings more, especially for a family like the Gu family!"
Zhang Yueying had already been humiliated today, and now her mother came to teach her a lesson. Zhang Yueying said angrily:
"Mom, what do you know? It's not what you said!"
Mother Zhang said anxiously:
"What's going on? Tell me. Were you bullied by Gu Yanting?"
"It's broad daylight, and there are many members of the Gu family. This shouldn't happen!"
"It's okay. Don't be afraid of being bullied. Mom will call your dad, brother, and sister-in-law to go to the Gu family to ask for an explanation!"
If Zhang Yueying really has something going on with Gu Yanting, that would be more than just a good thing, it would be something that would make the whole family happy!
So, upon hearing what Zhang's mother said, the eldest and second sisters-in-law of the Zhang family came out of the house, and they couldn't hide their joy and said:
"Yue Ying was bullied? Oh, how can this be allowed? Zhang Lao Da/Zhang Lao Er, hurry up and support our Yue Ying!"
Zhang Yueying's elder brother and second brother were lazing in bed, but when they heard this, they jumped out of bed and hurriedly put on their clothes!
