The dumplings were steaming hot in the pot, and Gu's mother brought a bowl to the old sisters first.
Old Mrs. Yu didn't need Li Yunshu to feed her. She asked her to put the folding table on the bed and eat while sitting on the bed.
Seeing her eating, Grandpa Li and Li Boyan finally felt relieved and smiles appeared on their faces.
Li Yunshu stood by the bed and reminded her worriedly, "Mom, eat slowly and chew your food carefully. You have been hungry for two meals. Eating too fast will hurt your stomach."
Old Mrs. Yu chewed slowly and nodded in response.
She has always had good eating habits. Even if she hasn't eaten for two meals, she still chews her food slowly.
In the kitchen, the nanny, Sister Wang, was telling Li Shuping gossip about the Li family.
Sister Wang: "Don't think that Li Yunshu is very controlling in this family. In fact, she is not the biological daughter of the old man and the old lady at all."
The less close one is to the family, the more he wants to show off his status and importance in the family and take charge of everything.
"Really?" The fire of gossip was burning in Li Shuping's eyes.
Sister Wang: "The old man and his wife originally had a little daughter, but she got lost at the train station and no one knew whether she was dead or alive. They searched for her for a long time but still couldn't find her. This girl is the daughter of a platoon leader under the old man. The platoon leader died and his wife died of illness. The old man felt sorry for her and adopted her."
"If she hadn't been the daughter of the Li family, she wouldn't be so glorious."
Li Shuping nodded and said, "The old man and the old lady are quite kind-hearted."
"Shan is a kind person, but it's a pity that we have been looking for our own daughter for several years, but there is still no news. In fact, most of her is dead, but the Li family is unwilling to accept it."
"The old lady dreams about her own daughter and cries every time she mentions her."
“놖Let me tell you…” Sister Wang lowered her voice, “Who is the least old lady to mention her lost daughter?”
She has worked in the Li family for many years, and as a bystander, she sees it most clearly.
"Why?" Li Shuping frowned.
She is an adopted daughter of the Li family with good intentions. Why wouldn't she like the old lady mentioning her lost adopted daughter?
Sister Wang curled her lips, "She's jealous. She wants to be the real Third Miss of the Li family. When they adopted her, the Li family didn't even think of changing her name. She even changed it to a name that sounds similar to the Li family's biological daughter. The missing one was called Li Yunshu, so she changed it to Li Yunshu. It's obvious that she wants to replace that person."
Li Yunshu?
Li Shuping tilted her head. This name sounded so familiar, as if she had heard it somewhere before.
"But isn't she the same as the real Third Miss of the Li family now? The biological daughter hasn't been found for so many years, and it's probably impossible to find her. Is it necessary for her to be jealous of someone who can't be found?" Li Shuping didn't quite understand.
Sister Wang looked at Li Shuping with an expression that said, "You don't understand this."
"Some people are just very greedy. After replacing someone's position in the family, they also want to replace that person's position in the family's heart."
Li Shuping: “…”
That is indeed greedy.
When she heard the sound of high heels stepping on the stairs, Sister Wang quickly shut her mouth and turned to look at the braised fish in the pot.
After a while, Li Yunshu walked into the kitchen. She glanced at Li Shuping coldly, looked at Sister Wang and ordered, "Sprinkle a bowl of dumpling soup with some chopped green onions and serve."
"Oh." Sister Wang quickly took a bowl and scooped up the dumpling soup.
Li Yunshu's slanted eyes fell back on Li Shuping, and she handed her a five-yuan bill and drove her away directly, "The dumplings are ready, you can leave."
Li Shuping looked at the new five yuan bill and felt a nameless anger rising. She curled her lips and sneered, "It's just five yuan, you're sending away a beggar. When Captain Gu came to invite you, he said that your family can name any price they want."
"Heh..." Li Yunshu laughed sarcastically. As expected, these low-level citizens were greedy for money.
"Tell me, how much do you want?"
Li Shuping stretched out a finger.
Li Yunshu frowned, "One hundred dollars?"
This country bumpkin really dares to ask for it!
Li Shuping: "Who are you looking down on? It's 10,000 yuan!"
"!"
Li Yunshu and Sister Wang were both shocked.
"..."The flesh on Li Yunshu's cheeks kept twitching.
She actually dared to ask for ten thousand yuan. Has she ever seen what ten thousand yuan looks like?
"What's the matter? You can't afford it? If you can't afford it, why are you pretending to be so arrogant in front of me? How much do you want?"
Li Shuping imitated Li Yunshu's tone in a sarcastic manner, and copied her arrogant and contemptuous expression and tone to perfection.
Li Yunshu clenched her back teeth and trembled with anger.
"I've already said that I'm here to save the captain's face. You should keep this dollar for yourself and buy some stinky tofu. From the tone of your voice, I can tell that you really like stinky tofu."
After saying that, Li Shuping walked straight past Li Yunshu and headed towards the kitchen.
Phew, Sister Wang pursed her lips to hold back her laughter.
Li Yunshu didn't understand what she meant at first, but suddenly she realized that she was saying that her mouth smelled bad and she was about to go crazy.
Just as I was about to leave, I heard Gu's mother's voice, "Hey, Shuping, where are you going?"
Mother Gu, Gu Zhenyuan, and Mr. Li and his son all came down from the stairs and happened to see Li Shuping walking towards the back.
Li Shuping paused, turned around and saw a tall, white-haired old man wearing reading glasses, walking down the stairs with his hands behind his back.
The old man had strong features and carried an air of authority from someone in a higher position.
Behind 놛 was a middle-aged man who looked very similar to 놛, with sharp eyebrows and phoenix eyes. He was wearing a green military uniform and his mouth corners drooped habitually. He looked very serious and majestic.
This old man should be the old man Li mentioned by Sister Wang, and the young man is the second son of the old man who is a major general.
Seeing such people, Li Shuping should be scared, but she didn't feel that way. Instead, she thought they were very kind.
"The dumplings are ready, and Comrade Li Yunshu asked us to leave." Li Shuping said truthfully.
When Li Yunshu, who was in the kitchen, heard this, her eyes went dark.
Both Gu's mother and Gu Zhenyuan changed their expressions.
Gu Zhenyuan frowned, and his mother said directly: "This Yunshu is really something. If Shuping wants to leave, she should ask Zhenyuan to come down and send her off. There is no bus in this area. If someone walks back hungry, how long will it take?"
Mother Gu said this to Mr. Li and Li Boyan.
It was obvious that Li Yunshu disliked Comrade Li Shuping, so she drove her away while they were away.
If they hadn't come down and happened to see them, and the person had left, Li Yunshu would definitely have said that the person wanted to leave on his own initiative.
Mr. Li walked down the stairs, frowned, looked at Li Shuping with some apology and said, "This matter is not handled properly by my daughter. You are invited by our family to make dumplings through Zhenyuan. You are a guest of our Li family. How can we let you go like this?"
"I want to thank you too. Thanks to your dumplings, my sick lover has regained his appetite. Please stay for lunch before leaving. After you finish eating, let the driver take you back."
