Are my second aunt and two younger sisters being bullied?
Gu Hui rolled her eyes at her father and didn't want to say anything.
“Father, your sister-in-law brought the children here. With your parents supporting them, are you worried they'll be bullied? Father, you just mentioned braised rabbit. Come on, let's make some!” Zhang said as she came out of the house carrying Renren.
"Wife! You're always here wherever there's food! Being greedy isn't good! Besides, with your cooking skills, aren't you wasting the rabbit? If I'd known you were thinking of cooking the rabbit, I would have just released it!" Uncle Gu said with a look of disgust.
"But I've never seen you refuse to eat the food I cook before?" Zhang was annoyed once again.
“Well, we’ve never had Niannian’s cooking before!” Uncle Gu said matter-of-factly. “Let’s take an analogy. We’re used to eating pig swill, so we don’t see anything wrong with it. But if you eat plain white rice one day, would you still want to eat pig swill? No need to answer, of course not. So, honey, let’s clean the rabbit and pheasant first, and wait for Niannian to cook them tomorrow! If that doesn’t work, Dad’s cooking will just taste like plain white rice! I don’t want to eat pig swill!”
Zhang: "..."
Zhang was speechless and could only take her beloved youngest son back into the house.
Grandma Gu, who was tending to the orchids with Grandpa Gu in the house, sighed. She guessed that their Gu family would produce a genius, a genius who would drive his wife crazy!
...
When Gu Shouxin got home, he asked Manager Cheng about his visit that day, and Cai Xiaolian recounted what had happened.
"What? You even sent me a letter? Mom, why don't you let me see it! If I saw it, I would write back to him! I would curse him so badly that even his ancestors for eighteen generations would jump up and curse him!" Gu Nian spoke before Gu Shouxin could react.
"Sister, his parents are so bad, maybe they taught him to be like that! If we anger them, they'll probably jump out and start cursing us too," Gu Xin said seriously.
The three time travelers looked at Gu Xin: ...
Gu Xin blinked innocently: "Only Xiao Jin and Xiao Yu are good in their family, the other three are not! There must be someone above them teaching them! My uncle said, 'If the upper beam is not straight, the lower beam will be crooked too.' My uncle used to comfort me, saying that you ignore me so as not to teach me bad things, that it's for my own good, and that I shouldn't ignore you either, because if the upper beam is not straight, the lower beam will be crooked too."
The time-traveling trio: "..."
Uncle Gu really knows how to use exaggerated words to comfort people; he can even use these words to comfort someone.
“I just gave the lotus-petal orchid to my father. He told me about a flower shop, saying that it would sell for at least two hundred taels of silver there. What do you think, should we take a few plants with us?” Gu Shouxin asked.
“Things are valued for their rarity, so let’s take five pots over to check things out first. Did Dad mention anything about the flower shop?” Cai Xiaolian asked.
“He didn’t say, so let’s take five pots over and take a look! Father also said that things are valued for their rarity, so he told us to go to two different places to sell them in two separate trips. The distance from our village to Qingzhou Prefecture and Yuzhou Prefecture is about the same.” Gu Shouxin said.
“Dad, Mom, Sister, let’s give two pots to Master Zhou! He gave us these flower seeds, and Master Zhou is very rich. Uncle said that rich people know rich people, so maybe Master Zhou can help us sell them!” Gu Xin said.
“That’s a good idea. We’ll be passing through Zhoujia Town on our way to Qingzhou Prefecture, so we can bring two pots for Master Zhou on the way.” Gu Shouxin nodded.
