"Let's not talk about this anymore. What do you want to eat later?"
Lin Qingyu stubbornly continued, "Oh Juanzi! Don't be shy! A woman, even after getting married, still has to give her husband's family a big, healthy son!"
She spoke to Li Juan in the tone of someone who had been through it all, completely ignoring Li Juan's increasingly angry expression.
"Besides, with your family's vast wealth and fortune, it wouldn't be good if there wasn't an heir in the future!"
Li Juan couldn't take it anymore and retorted, "What about you? You only had a daughter, why didn't you have a son?"
Lin Qingyu laughed and said, "That's right! I found this secret recipe because I wanted to have a son!"
With that one sentence, Li Juan was silenced again, and then Lin Qingyu began to talk even more happily.
"And Juanzi! I'm not trying to be mean, but since you don't have any income right now, what will happen if your brother Zhang is out there in the future..."
"Enough!"
Li Juan finally snapped, and Lin Qingyu, realizing she had said something she shouldn't have, immediately shut her mouth.
Fortunately, there was no one else in the living room, otherwise Li Juan would never have let Lin Qingyu say so much.
Li Juan calmed herself down and, after a while, turned to Lin Qingyu and said.
"Qingyu, what would you like to eat later? I'll have the chef make it for you!"
Lin Qingyu felt a little embarrassed. In this situation, it wasn't good to say anything, but if she didn't, Li Juan had asked her several more times.
Finally, she cautiously uttered the name of a dish: "Liangpi (cold skin noodles)?"
Li Juan looked at her questioningly: "You only eat this?"
"Haha! It's still hot outside! It's good to eat something cold!"
Lin Qingyu chuckled foolishly. She didn't have much of an appetite to begin with, so she decided to eat something sour and cold, which she could still manage to eat.
When it was lunchtime, the cook prepared the food, and someone brought it in. There was a large table on the other side of the living room, which was perfect for eating.
Although Lin Qingyu only ordered one serving of cold noodles, the table was piled high with many dishes, especially braised pork.
A small steel basin, filled to the brim, was placed in front of Lin Qingyu.
"Eat up! I remember you really like braised pork, Qingyu, don't be shy!"
In front of Li Juan's seat were light stir-fried dishes, while Lin Qingyu's side had all meat dishes.
However, the braised pork was all fat, the braised pork with preserved mustard greens was all fat, and the spicy chicken had very little chili.
Lin Qingyu didn't want to offend Li Juan, so she thought she should try them all, but she didn't have much of an appetite.
In the end, I only ate one bite of braised pork. It tasted good, but unfortunately it was all fat.
In the huge restaurant, only the sound of two people eating could be heard. When they were almost finished, Li Juan suddenly spoke up.
"Is the food not to your liking? Why are you only eating cold noodles?"
Lin Qingyu swallowed the cold dish in her mouth and hurriedly wiped her mouth.
"No, no, it tastes pretty good. I just don't have much of an appetite. I'm done eating. Juanzi, you eat! Don't worry about me."
Li Juan's bowl clearly still had a lot of food left, but she put down her chopsticks and stopped eating.
"Sit down for a bit! Let's go out for a walk later. We haven't bought anything in a long time, and it feels like something's missing at home."
Li Juan pulled Lin Qingyu toward the sofa, but Lin Qingyu, who was busy, didn't bother with her.
She then walked out briskly, intending to go to her house to see if she could ride a bicycle.
When Lin Qingyu arrived at her own courtyard, she found that many new flowers and plants had been planted there.
Lin Qingyu guessed that this was planted by Gu Xichao, and it might be some kind of precious medicinal herb.
With neither the bicycle nor the two boys around, Lin Qingyu simply called Gu Shi to come and pick them up.
When they were waiting for Gu Shi, they realized that they hadn't brought back the vase they had asked Li Juan for earlier.
Thinking she might as well take them all, she went over to Li Juan to ask for the vase.
As soon as she arrived at her doorstep, she saw the dog in the yard eating, and Lin Qingyu glanced at it again.
I then realized that the dog bowl contained braised pork.
"Tsk tsk tsk!"
Lin Qingyu didn't know what else to say besides this.
Knowing that Lin Qingyu had arrived, Li Juan personally brought out the vase and handed it to Lin Qingyu.
"This is a very good thing, Qingyu, you must treat it well!"
Lin Qingyu nodded repeatedly, then hugged the vase tightly to her chest, as if afraid of breaking it.
When she finally made it home, the door opened, and there were her two boys.
Lin Weidong and his companion had probably just arrived home and hadn't had time to close the door. Upon hearing the noise, they turned around and looked at the doorway.
So the two arguing boys and their aunt/sister carrying a vase home just stood there, gazing at each other from afar.
Lin Weidong was pushing Gu Xichao, and no one knew what the other said, but his expression was rather unpleasant.
Upon seeing Lin Qingyu, Lin Weidong immediately let go of her, while Gu Xichao leisurely walked to the door.
"Auntie, what brings you here? Let me help you with these!"
He had a smile on his face and looked no different from when he was a child, except that he had grown up, gotten taller, and become more handsome.
Lin Qingyu was happy to have an easy time, so she simply handed the vase to Gu Xichao.
Lin Weidong awkwardly followed up with, "Sister!"
Lin Qingyu nodded and replied, "Hey, are you two settling in well here? By the way, don't you have to go to work today?"
She suddenly remembered that Lin Weidong should be in the courthouse right now, so why was he home?
The group entered the house, and Gu Xichao tactfully went into the kitchen to cook.
Lin Weidong explained, "My boss gave me a break. I worked overtime with him for the past few days, and I'm finally done with the work today."
Lin Qingyu nodded, then remembered something else: "By the way, Xiao Dong, do you know about Feng Chao's case? He should be the defendant, right?"
Lin Weidong sat up straight and answered seriously, "I know, but because I know him, the leaders won't let me get involved in this."
He took a sip of water before continuing, "It's like this..."
It turned out that Feng Chao had been detained that day and taken away by the police. The next day, Gu Shi began preparing to sue him.
They sued him to compensate Grandpa Wang for his medical expenses and to compensate the brick factory for its losses.
The fact that he, a student at a teachers' college, went to do an internship with civil engineering students is itself highly suspicious.
The Education Bureau is now alarmed and is investigating Feng Chao's background.
With a family background like Feng Chao's, he wouldn't even be able to attend university.
After hearing this, Lin Qingyu felt a sense of satisfaction.
Didn't Feng Chao think he was superior because of his college degree? Didn't he think he could become a teacher at Yamanashi Prefectural Middle School right after graduation?
I guess he won't even dare to go back to Pear Blossom Village anymore. Well, he burned down his house, so even if Feng Chao went back, he would have nowhere to go.
I wonder if Feng Chao's mother will still let him in, since it's Feng Chao's maternal grandmother's house.
