Seeing that Grandma Li was alright, everyone in the room finally breathed a sigh of relief.
When Zuo Xiuhong saw that Old Mrs. Li had woken up again, she immediately started wailing again.
"Oh my god! I'm just a bastard!..."
Gu Lili could no longer bear it and picked up the tea on the table and splashed it at him.
"What are you howling about! If you keep howling, get out of here!" Gu Lili shouted angrily.
Gu Lili didn't want to argue with Zuo Xiuhong, but this woman was just too despicable.
He actually angered his grandmother so much that she fainted, and his eldest uncle was the same, standing there like a wooden statue, not moving at all.
Zuo Xiuhong's crying was instantly interrupted by Gu Lili, and tea dripped down her head.
Zuo Xiuhong immediately stopped crying and sat up, looking disheveled.
No one in the room expected Gu Lili to get so angry, and they were all taken aback.
Li Qingshan was the first to react, stepping forward and pulling Zuo Xiuhong, who was sitting on the ground, up.
"Come on, come back with me. Don't embarrass yourself here!"
As Li Qingshan spoke, he glanced apologetically at Gu Lili, then pulled Zuo Xiuhong and walked outside.
Li Qingshan was not good with words, so he didn't know what to say.
At this moment, all I want to do is drag my wife away and stop her from making a fool of herself here.
Zuo Xiuhong immediately panicked. There were so many delicious things in the kitchen, and she hadn't even had a bite yet. How could she just go back like this?
Moreover, she came today hoping that Gu Lili would teach her how to make money.
"I'm not leaving! I won't make a scene anymore, okay?"
Zuo Xiuhong tried hard to break free from Li Qingshan's grasp, shouting as she did so.
Gu Lili took a deep breath and said calmly, "Uncle, let's forget about it and eat first!"
Today was supposed to be a lively meal together, but it's not right for my uncle to come and leave like this.
Upon hearing Gu Lili's words, Zuo Xiuhong pulled her hand away from Li Qingshan's grasp.
“Lili already said to eat first! Why are you still holding my hand?” Zuo Xiuhong said smugly.
Then he ran up to Old Mrs. Li and said, "Mother, I was wrong just now. I shouldn't have made you angry."
Even if Zuo Xiuhong was unwilling, she knew she should apologize to Old Mrs. Li.
If they really kick me out, wouldn't my trip today have been for nothing?
Grandma Li rolled her eyes at Zuo Xiuhong and said, "Alright! If you keep causing trouble like this, you can pack your bags and go back to your parents' home!"
Grandma Li felt that she was also to blame today, for making Zuo Xiuhong lose face in front of so many younger people.
Therefore, this gave Zuo Xiuhong a way out.
"Mother, I know," Zuo Xiuhong muttered impatiently.
After Zuo Xiuhong's outburst, the group's initial joyful mood was now dampened.
"Lili, I'm so sorry, your aunt is just like that, please don't be angry!"
As Li Qingshan walked toward the kitchen, he called Gu Lili to a stop.
Gu Lili stopped and said calmly, "Uncle, you shouldn't apologize to me. You should apologize to Grandma. Since you know what kind of person Aunt is, you should restrain her. We are all family, so it doesn't matter. But if it were an outsider, who could stand her making such a scene?"
If it weren't for her maternal grandparents, Gu Lili would have really wanted to kick Zuo Xiuhong out today.
Li Qingshan, seemingly lost in thought, nodded heavily and went to eat.
At the dinner table, everyone was somewhat lacking in appetite, even the youngest, Li Qimu, had little to no appetite.
The instigator, Zuo Xiuhong, ate the food in front of her with gusto, not even bothering to wipe the oil dripping from her mouth.
If Li Qingshan hadn't nudged her a few times, Zuo Xiuhong would have loved to pick up the plate on the table, open her mouth, and pour the contents into it.
At this moment, Li Qingshan truly regretted not insisting earlier and taking Zuo Xiuhong back to avoid making a fool of himself.
Li Qimu couldn't bear to look at his mother either, and just lowered his head to slurp the white rice in his bowl.
After finishing her meal, Zuo Xiuhong actually stood up to help clear the dishes, and even when Gu Huanhuan wanted to help, she was called away.
"Oh dear, with my mother like this, she must need my cousin's help with something later!" Li Qimu said confidently in a low voice.
He knew very well what kind of person his mother was.
No one knows a child better than their mother, and similarly, no one knows a mother better than her child.
Li Qimu's voice wasn't loud, and only Gu Lili heard it.
Li Qimu had indeed anticipated this. After washing the dishes, Zuo Xiuhong sat down with a smile.
"Lili, your aunt wants to ask you for a favor," Zuo Xiuhong said with a smile.
She seemed to have forgotten how she had thrown a tantrum earlier, and was now acting as if nothing had happened.
Before Gu Lili could speak, Li Qingshan walked over and said, "Can you stop causing trouble all day? Let's go back after we've eaten."
As he spoke, he reached out to pull Zuo Xiuhong up.
Zuo Xiuhong quickly dodged and laughed, "Oh, Qingshan, what are you doing? I just want Lili to do me a favor, don't pull me!"
Zuo Xiuhong knew that if she dared to throw a tantrum now, Li Qingshan would definitely drag her away.
Faced with the smiling Zuo Xiuhong, Li Qingshan was at a loss for what to do.
You can't hit someone who's smiling, and Zuo Xiuhong is already all smiles. If I were to drag her away now, it would seem a bit heartless.
Everyone in the courtyard looked up at Zuo Xiuhong, eager to see what she was up to.
"Aunt, what kind of help do you need?" Gu Lili asked casually.
Even if Gu Lili disliked Zuo Xiuhong, she still had to consider her uncle's feelings.
As long as it's not too outrageous, Gu Lili thought she would help if she could.
When Zuo Xiuhong heard Gu Lili respond, her smile widened even more.
“Lili, you teach your second uncle how to make sugar figurines, can you teach your eldest uncle too?” Zuo Xiuhong asked.
Zuo Xiuhong had long been envious of Li Ershu's high earnings.
As for why Li Ershu wasn't allowed to teach Li Qingshan, it was because Zuo Xiuhong knew that Li Ershu got his malt sugar from Gu Lili's house, which is why she came to ask Gu Lili.
Gu Lili asked with a forced smile, "Can your uncle do accounts?"
There's a reason why Gu Lili doesn't teach Li Qingshan. Li Qingshan is taciturn and doesn't know how to promote his own products. Even if she taught him, she probably wouldn't make any money.
That's why she thought of having Li Qingshan help her make maltose; she was sure she wouldn't treat him unfairly.
"Oh dear, this accounting is easy. Just learn from Ershu for a few days and you'll be fine," Zuo Xiuhong said nonchalantly.
