Chapter 112: Not Knowing What's Good For You
Gu Nian's face turned ugly after being confronted by Gu Yan, and he was speechless for a long time.
Seeing her man being humiliated, Zhang Cuihua had no choice but to stand up and speak up.
But she didn't say this to Gu Yan, but to Li Wanqing: "Wanqing, we came here to persuade you to give it to the third child. How can children and parents hold grudges overnight? Don't you think so?
There are no perfect parents in the world. Even if parents do something wrong sometimes, can children really hold it against them?
Although your parents don't say it, they are actually thinking about you in their hearts.
You should also persuade the third brother to be less angry. As a family, we should not be too picky."
Zhang Cuihua's words implied that Gu Yan was wrong. Li Wanqing certainly didn't tolerate her and directly retorted, "Sister-in-law, I still say the same thing. Don't advise others to be kind without experiencing their suffering. You haven't experienced Gu Yan's suffering, so don't talk nonsense now."
They say there are no perfect parents in the world. If your parents treated you like this, you might not do better than Gu Yan.
That’s what you came here to say, so go back and tell your parents that we won’t be going back for the New Year.
There's no need to ask us to go back in the future. Of course, when our parents get old and need someone to support them, we won't refuse to take care of Gu Yan's share."
Zhang Cuihua didn't expect Li Wanqing to be so rude. She immediately stood up in anger and pointed at Li Wanqing and said, "You...you...really don't know what's good for you. Boss, let's go."
"Goodbye, I won't see you off." Li Wanqing didn't take her anger to heart at all, and still sat there and spoke calmly.
"Third brother, you don't want to do anything about it?" Gu Nian also stood up.
"Who cares? I think my wife is right. What my wife said is what I want to say." Gu Yan said.
"Okay... okay... it looks like you're determined to distance yourself from us.
In that case, don't blame us for not helping you if you have any problems in the future." Gu Nian said angrily.
"I couldn't ask for more." Gu Yan didn't care about his threat at all.
"You... huh, let's go. You'll have to beg me for help in the future." Gu Nian left angrily without looking back.
Zhang Cuihua glared at them fiercely and followed them away.
Gu Yan and Li Wanqing did not go out to see him off. They did not want to do anything to save face for such an evil guest who came to their door on his own initiative.
"You're not sad, are you? If you want to..." Li Wanqing said carefully while looking at Gu Yan's face.
But before she could finish, she was interrupted by Gu Yan: "I don't want to. Since I said I won't go, I won't go."
"Okay then, I'll do as you say. You don't have to worry about me. Everything will be based on your own ideas." Li Wanqing said again.
"I know, I just don't want to get involved with them.
Okay, let’s not talk about them anymore, it affects my mood.
I'll go check and add two more pieces of firewood, and chop the meat." Gu Yan said after calming down.
Gu Yan said that he didn't care about Gu Nian and the others' visit, but his heart was not made of iron. How could he not feel anything at all?
Seeing that Gu Yan didn't want to talk about them, Li Wanqing followed Gu Yan and changed the subject: "Since you want to chop it, chop more.
We have to eat dumplings tomorrow night, the day after tomorrow, on the first day of the new year, and on the fifth day of the new year.
It's just right for us to pack some extra and put them in the space, so that it will be convenient for us to eat them later. Anyway, we have nothing to do now.
We can also make a few more fillings so we don’t get tired of eating the same two.”
"Okay, what kind of filling do you like? Let's make some of each." Gu Yan nodded.
They got to work right away. Gu Yan chopped the meat while Li Wanqing picked the vegetables.
Li Wanqing has already decided what the filling will be.
First, pack more leeks and eggs, which both Gu Yan and she like.
There are also those with leeks and pork, which you should also make some of. The next are those with sauerkraut and meat, and those with sauerkraut and oil residue. These two are also delicious, so make more of them as well.
There are also those stuffed with mushrooms and meat, cabbage and meat, shepherd's purse and meat, cucumber and egg, shredded radish and beef, and green onion and beef.
Since you have to make dumplings anyway, you might as well use a few different fillings and a little more of each.
And you can not only boil dumplings, but also make some large steamed dumplings and fried dumplings to change the taste.
Gu Yan chopped the meat and kneaded the dough. While the dough was resting, he washed and cut the vegetables.
Li Wanqing wanted to help but was rejected by Gu Yan on the grounds that she was pregnant and couldn't be tired.
However, although Gu Yan did not let Li Wanqing do the preparation work, he still asked Li Wanqing to make the dumplings.
The two of them worked for a whole day and made more than a thousand dumplings, including more than 900 boiled dumplings and more than 400 larger steamed dumplings.
Take these dumplings outside to freeze first. Once frozen solid, pour them into a clean cloth bag and store them in a storage space.
Whenever you want to eat it in the future, you can just steam or boil it. It is convenient and saves trouble.
This method can also be used for wontons and buns. Li Wanqing has already thought about it. After the New Year, she will make more wontons, steam buns, steamed buns, and flower rolls and put them in the space.
When her belly gets bigger and it’s inconvenient to cook, she can take it out and eat it anytime.
"When we have time, let's make some wontons and buns and put them in the space. I'll save them for when my belly gets bigger and cooking becomes inconvenient." Li Wanqing said as she made dumplings.
"You don't have to worry about these. I will take care of you when your belly gets bigger. I will cook whatever you want to eat." Gu Yan said.
"I know you will take care of me, but you will have a lot of things to do next year. I'm talking about when you are at home. There is food in the space, and it is convenient for me to eat." Li Wanqing explained.
"Okay, then pack more." This time Gu Yan didn't object because he felt that Li Wanqing was right.
There will always be a time when he needs to go out, and then Li Wanqing will be left alone at home, and it will be inconvenient for her to do anything with a big belly.
Make more food now, at least my wife won’t go hungry when the time comes.
Gu Yan and Li Wanqing were making dumplings with laughter.
The atmosphere on Gu Chongshan's side was not very good.
"What? They said they won't come to celebrate the New Year? They said that with their own mouths?" Zhang Dahua said in shock and anger after hearing what her eldest son said.
"Well, I think the third brother is determined to distance himself from us. Dad and Mom, I don't care what you think. Anyway, I will just pretend that I don't have this younger brother from now on." Gu Nian said angrily when he thought that Gu Yan didn't give him any face at all and didn't treat him as the eldest brother at all.
"You should have thought of it earlier. The third brother has become successful now, and he is not unwilling to associate with us poor hunters with no ability.
You're the only ones who can't see the situation clearly. They own farms, and they're completely different from us." Gu Bei said sourly.
"Don't say that, my husband. I think my third brother is a good person. Look how good he is to our parents. He has never had any conflicts with the family.
It was only after getting married that she started to have her own little thoughts. Of course, I'm not saying that my third sister-in-law is bad, am I?" Li Yingdi said softly to Li Wanqing.
