He Meizhu was amused by the young couple's words and, according to custom, filled the large bowls in front of Lu Huaijiao and Gu Changzheng with rice.
"Jiaojiao is injured today, eat more."
This shows He Meizhu's affection for Lu Huaijiao.
Lu Huaijiao sweetly thanked her mother, then reached out and gently tugged at Gu Changzheng's sleeve before glancing at the rice in her bowl.
Tonight, the Gu family all assumed that Lu Huaijiao had cooked dinner, but it was actually Gu Changzheng who did. Not only did Lu Huaijiao not cook, but she also insisted that Gu Changzheng eat refined rice.
Although Gu Changzheng thought Lu Huaijiao was difficult to please and a little troublemaker, he still kept a straight face and put in only unhulled polished rice when cooking.
Lu Huaijiao is praising Gu Changzheng right now!
Gu Changzheng's lips twitched; he didn't really want to talk to this little troublemaker.
After the food was divided, the family began to eat. It was a rare treat to eat refined rice, and no one wanted to talk; everyone just focused on eating. Only Lu Huaijiao sat there, slowly counting each grain of rice as she ate.
Xu Honglian looked up and saw Lu Huaijiao counting the grains of rice. She glanced at her two sons' bowls, which were almost empty, and an idea came to her.
"Golden Egg's Aunt, can't you finish this?"
Upon hearing this, everyone at the table looked up. He Meizhu, in particular, looked at her second son, Gu Changqing, with a very disapproving expression.
Gu Changqing scratched his head, smiled sheepishly, and continued eating.
Lu Huaijiao glanced at Xu Honglian, this greedy second sister-in-law whose thoughts were written all over her face.
She clicked her tongue, picked up her bowl, and scooped most of the rice into Gu Changzheng's bowl, leaving herself only a mouthful the size of an egg.
"Brother Changzheng, you work hard, eat more."
Xu Honglian, who originally wanted to ask Lu Huaijiao to share the food with her two sons: ...
He Meizhu, who wanted to rebuke Xu Honglian: ...
The others at the table: ...
None of them expected that Lu Huaijiao would actually share her rice with Gu Changzheng. Even Gu Changzheng was surprised; didn't she say she wanted to eat refined rice? Why wasn't she eating it after it was cooked?
You don't like the food he cooks?
Well, because Lu Huaijiao had a history of being spoiled and pretentious, Gu Changzheng was not moved at first, but suspicious.
Lu Huaijiao looked at Gu Changzheng, who refused to eat. Her lips trembled, like a child who hadn't gotten candy and was about to cry: "I haven't eaten it before, it's clean."
She spoke with a very aggrieved tone.
Gu Changzheng: ...
It's not that I dislike her because she's dirty.
I just felt that her behavior was very abnormal.
"Is this all you're eating?"
"Mmm, that's enough. If you get hungry in the middle of the night, I have cookies and candy too."
Everyone present had heard that Lu Huaijiao came from a well-off family. However, when they heard her openly say that she had candy and biscuits to fill her stomach when she was hungry, the people at the table couldn't help but feel a little envious.
Xu Honglian was the most sour of them all.
She just couldn't understand it. They were all girls, so why was Lu Huaijiao, who was lazy and loved to eat, so lucky? Xu Honglian thought about her own life back in her parents' home, and the more she thought about it, the more she felt that Lu Huaijiao's life was inhuman.
Just then, out of the corner of her eye, she caught sight of her two sons sitting beside her, looking up at Lu Huaijiao with pleading eyes. She was furious and shouted, "What are you looking at? What are you looking at? Have you forgotten what happened this evening? You shallow-minded fools!"
"Smack!"
With a loud thud, Gu Jianhua slammed his chopsticks on the table.
Xu Honglian shrank back slightly.
Gu Jindan and Gu Baodan also shrank their shoulders and quickly buried their heads.
He Meizhu glared at Xu Honglian: "You talk too much. Even eating can't shut you up. You don't need to eat breakfast tomorrow either."
"mom……"
Xu Honglian panicked immediately. If you asked who she feared most in the Gu family, besides Gu Changzheng, who was like a demon, she feared her in-laws the most.
Now, he's scared after He Meizhu says something, and when he tries to explain, He Meizhu glares at him.
Gu Changqing, who hadn't said a word, slammed his bowl down on the table: "What's wrong with you, woman? Why are you talking so much while we're eating?"
Xu Honglian was first bullied by Lu Huaijiao, then frightened by her in-laws, and now she was being scolded by her own husband. She suddenly felt extremely wronged.
However, no matter how aggrieved she felt, she dared not speak now, and could only secretly blame Lu Huaijiao for it.
Lu Huaijiao had no idea that Xu Honglian held a grudge against her again because of this. Although she ate the least amount of food, she still ate until the end, which made Xu Honglian, who was assigned by He Meizhu to wash the dishes that night, very dissatisfied.
“Hey, fourth sister-in-law, can you eat a little faster? It’s fine if you stay up all night doing nothing at home, but I’m working myself to the bone in the fields earning work points. I need to go back to my room and sleep as soon as possible.”
Originally, it wasn't Xu Honglian's turn to wash the dishes tonight, but because Gu Jindan scratched Lu Huaijiao's hand, He Meizhu made Xu Honglian wash the dishes.
Xu Honglian dared not disobey He Meizhu, so she could only grit her teeth and accept it. However, when only Lu Huaijiao was left in the kitchen, she couldn't swallow her anger.
We need to have a serious talk with Lu Huaijiao.
Lu Huaijiao looked up and hummed in response, "Second sister-in-law, have you washed all the dishes in the house? Are they clean?"
As she spoke, she tiptoed and looked towards the cupboard. Sure enough, she saw several black fingerprints on the rim of one bowl, and two vegetable leaves hanging from another...
Lu Huaijiao suddenly felt that the rice in her bowl no longer tasted good.
