The thought of Chen Sisi cooking for others made Gu Chengfeng feel suffocated.
She used to be a pampered young lady who never lifted a finger.
My father is a school principal, and my mother is also an employee of a company; we can be considered a family with a scholarly background.
Her hands are for holding pens and playing instruments, how can she do such rough work?
Moreover... it's all for these outsiders.
Gu Chengfeng snorted coldly and started heating the oil in the wok.
Looking at the ingredients that had already been laid out, he put them into the pot one by one.
The cooking technique wasn't very skillful, but at least the posture was impressive and the cooking looked quite professional.
After all, even if you haven't eaten pork, haven't you seen pigs run?
Soon, a table of dishes was ready.
The numbing and spicy Mapo Tofu, along with other must-have dishes to accompany rice, such as shredded pork with green peppers, scrambled eggs with tomatoes, stir-fried dried tofu with pork, and stir-fried green beans with minced pork...
Chen Sisi never expected Gu Chengfeng to have this skill; it looks just as good as the state-run restaurant's...
Even the black-eyed person blinked their eyes a few times.
He can't believe his eyes, can't Brother Feng cook?!
Is this edible?
Will I be poisoned to death...?
When Gu Chengfeng served the last dish, stir-fried cabbage with minced garlic, he coldly invited everyone to sit down and eat.
"Thank you all for your hard work today!" Gu Chengfeng raised his glass and drank it all in one gulp.
Hei Zi and his few underlings also joined in.
Seeing that Gu Chengfeng finally had a home, a bright house and a gentle and beautiful woman, Hei Zi suddenly felt like he needed to pee.
Gu Chengfeng didn't even notice Hei Zi; he just kept putting food on Chen Sisi and Niu Niu's plates.
Seeing that Shen Sisi was only focused on Niu Niu and hadn't eaten much herself, Gu Chengfeng forcefully snatched the bowl away.
"I'll feed the baby, you eat while it's hot."
"No need, I'll do it..." Shen Sisi asked him to go and chat with the guests. She usually ate like this and was used to it.
Upon hearing the word "habit," Gu Chengfeng's eyes darkened.
Is this how that scumbag has treated Shen Sisi all these years?
Just how much suffering did she endure...?
His fingers, gripping the spoon, were trembling, but his expression remained calm: "Didn't you want to ask Heizi how these things got back?"
Hei Zi immediately chimed in, "Yeah, sister-in-law, you have no idea how exciting this story is..."
Shen Sisi immediately became interested and stopped arguing with Gu Chengfeng. Instead, she asked him curiously, "Tell me quickly, what exactly happened?"
Knowing her uncle as she did, she thought he could spit out something she'd already put in his mouth? No way!
This time, however, is an exception!
Hei Zi wiped the grease from the corner of his mouth and picked his teeth with a sharp chicken bone.
"Well, this matter isn't actually that difficult, but it's not that simple either." Hei Zi smiled slyly: "Doesn't your uncle often play cards with me?"
"All these betrothal gifts of yours were lost to me by him at the card table."
"What?" Shen Sisi was so surprised that she couldn't close her mouth.
She knew her uncle loved gambling and had lost a lot of money, but... losing all the betrothal gifts in just a few days was just too outrageous.
"You wouldn't... be cheating, would you?" Chen Sisi asked tentatively.
To say it was cheating is a euphemism; she suspected that Heizi and his group might have cheated.
How could a hater not understand the implied meaning?
He wasn't annoyed by Shen Sisi's misunderstanding. Instead, he smiled and explained, "How could that be? Although I, Hei Zi, have the face of a bad guy, I also have my bottom line. The most taboo thing when gambling is cheating. I know this rule."
"Then..." Shen Sisi became even more curious about what exactly happened.
Hei Zi got angry when the topic came up: "The one who cheated wasn't me, it was your uncle!"
Hei Zi told her that Chen Jianguo was a loser, poor, and a gambler.
That day, he borrowed two hundred yuan from Hei Zi to pay for Chen Sisi's dowry.
After receiving the betrothal money from Gu Chengfeng, he first repaid his colleagues at the factory, and only repaid fifty to Heizi, bringing a lot of things to offset the debt.
"Then, I found someone to persuade him to come and play mahjong with me so he could win back all those good items. Sure enough, the old man fell for it. Every day after work, he would come and play cards with me instead of going home."
The result, of course, was... a complete loss, leaving him with nothing but his underwear.
“I saw that he had lost almost all of his money, so I made an excuse that I was busy those two days and didn’t want to talk to him. But then he somehow got a lot of things and said they were his daughter’s dowry. He wanted to gamble with me, so I agreed.”
"Who knew that he would cheat and switch cards right under my nose in order to win!"
Hei Zi was so angry that he slammed his fist on the table and immediately grabbed Chen Jianguo, intending to break one of his fingers.
Chen Jianguo was so scared he wet his pants. He gave some of his daughter Chen Ting's dowry to Hei Zi to calm things down.
Upon hearing this, all I can say is, serves you right!
Chen Jianguo has lost both his wife and his army this time.
Not only did they lose her betrothal gifts, but Chen Ting's dowry was also lost.
Whose fault is this?
He has a gambling addiction, he is greedy, and he is unscrupulous.
Chen Sisi found it very satisfying to hear, but her laughter soon faded.
He lost so badly, he'll definitely take his anger out on his aunt when he gets home.
Realizing this, Chen Sisi felt as if a large hand had squeezed her heart, causing a tight and painful sensation...
Although her uncle was awful, her aunt was genuinely good to her, and she didn't want to harm her aunt.
Gu Chengfeng saw her eyes redden and his whole body stiffened suddenly: "Don't worry, your aunt is fine."
"How did you know?" he asked absentmindedly.
Before he could speak, Hei Zi said with a smile, "Don't worry, sister-in-law, Brother Feng has already considered all of this. Chen Jianguo will have to think twice before he hits your aunt, or even raises his voice at her."
