Chapter 23: What are you still standing there for? Go quickly!
Finally, the old man couldn't stand it anymore and shouted outside, "Alright, alright, let's eat first and don't wait for Jin girl."
After hearing what the old man said, Chen Hong naturally didn't dare to continue.
But what she just said had already been heard by her neighbors, but they were completely confused.
Everyone knew who the ungrateful person Chen Hong was scolding was. It was none other than Gu Jin, whose family had no blood relationship with the Gu family.
I just don’t know why Chen Hong is so angry today. I’ve never seen her dislike that girl so much before.
When Gu Jin took Xiao An home, Chen Hong had already shut up and gone back to the house to eat.
When she entered the house and heard noises coming from the kitchen, she ran straight to the kitchen with the child in her arms.
"grandfather."
Gu Jin stood at the kitchen door and just called out "Grandpa". In the past, she had no feelings for this family and was only slightly close to the old man.
The old man saw her coming back and hummed, "You're back, let's eat first."
Chen Hong stared at An Mingji with unfriendly eyes, snorted coldly, and her facial expression was very distorted.
When she saw this child, she felt like someone was cutting her flesh and eating it.
Uncle Gu, Gu Jiajie, and Gu Minmin glanced at Gu Jin and just ate in silence.
Gu Jin has become accustomed to this. In the past, she felt that this family didn't like her.
In fact, even if she was not there, the family would be like this. Grandpa had a weird temper, loved smoking dry tobacco, and didn't like to talk much.
My uncle is a quiet and honest man, while my aunt Chen Hong is a chatterbox.
My cousin is a sly guy in the village, not much better than a hooligan, but no one at home bullies him. My cousin Gu Minmin is an honest and somewhat shy little girl.
When the whole family got together, only the eldest aunt kept nagging. In the past, Gu Jin avoided her the most, always afraid of making her unhappy, and would nag her whenever he caught her.
Now it seems that he is a man of true character, who speaks his mind.
Thinking of this, Gu Jin looked at everyone with a much gentler gaze.
"Uncle, Brother Jie, Brother Du asked me to call you to go to the back mountain to carry the wild boar."
“…”
“…”
Gu Jin's words made the Gu family stop eating, mainly because the wild boar attracted them.
"Brother Du? Is that Du Aiqing?" the old man asked.
"Yeah." Gu Jin nodded.
Gu Jiajie was confused. He chewed the multi-grain steamed bun in his mouth and asked incoherently: "Why did you come to our house?"
Their home is quite a distance away from the back mountain, and they can just find a household at the foot of the mountain to help.
When he asked this question, everyone in the Gu family looked at Gu Jin in confusion.
Gu Jin told everyone what had happened: "I took Xiao An for a walk in the back mountain, and I met Brother Du coming down the mountain, and then we encountered a wild boar..."
After she finished speaking, the Gu family members all showed dazed expressions.
Chen Hong was the first to react. When she thought of the wild boar that Gu Jin mentioned, which weighed nearly a thousand pounds, her eyes immediately turned red. She shouted at the father and son next to her, "What are you still standing there for? Go! I don't know if the meat will be less if you remove it!"
That's wild boar meat, it's meat!
Ordinary people cannot afford to buy meat unless it is a festival. The money for one pound of meat, converted into food, is the difference between a good meal and half a month's food supply.
The father and son of the Gu family were each pushed by Chen Hong.
Gu Jiajie was pushed by his mother. When he came to his senses, he was already drooling with greed.
The family only had meat to eat during festivals, and even that was not enough.
