After hanging up the phone, Ma Lihua was almost finished with her medicinal bath, and the three of them were discussing countermeasures.
Seeing the three of them about to leave again, Shangguan Wenyan felt uneasy.
"It's almost Chinese New Year, and you're still going out? Aren't you going to discuss having a proper New Year?" Shangguan Wenyan asked Ma Linghua.
"Men shouldn't ask too many questions about women's affairs. By the way, is dinner ready?"
Shangguan Wenyan: "………………………"
I really want to strangle her.
Seeing that Pear Blossom was also staring at him, he chuckled awkwardly and said, "It's ready, wash your hands and eat!"
"Okay! Fine!" he said, brushing past her.
"Brother Shangguan, thank you for your hard work," Ma Lihua said considerately.
"Lihua, I made your favorite twice-cooked pork. Go and try it." He was afraid that if Lihua was too slow, the two women would finish all the pork.
"Okay, I understand. Brother Shangguan, you're so kind." As she said this, she walked away quickly.
The three of them still had good appetites as always.
After eating and drinking her fill, Ma Linghua thought of Cui Gu. She had to admit, this girl was such a kind person!
He brought back all the New Year's goods without missing a single one. Thinking that three days had already passed, he decided to go find her now and give her the remaining money.
The New Year's goods they brought cost them more than three thousand yuan. Thinking about the two hundred yuan she gave them, Ma Linghua felt a little guilty.
Sure enough, he immediately took his daughter and granddaughter to pay a New Year's visit in advance, as they had important business to attend to that evening.
Cui Gu: "………………………………"
Cui Gu made a sour fish soup, but before she could even pick up her chopsticks, she heard the door open.
"Clap clap clap!"
"Hey sister, open the door! I've come to wish you a Happy New Year in advance. Oh, and my daughter and granddaughter are here too," Ma Linghua said loudly.
Cui Gu, who had reached the door, took a step back. Perhaps... she shouldn't open the door.
"Hey girl, what are you dawdling about? I saw you through the crack in the door, what are you standing there daydreaming about?"
Hearing Ma Linghua's words, Cui Gu felt a wave of helplessness wash over her...
There was nothing she could do, so she went over and opened the door. She saw that the woman was smiling broadly and dressed in a very festive manner.
"Hey girl, how's my outfit? Isn't it pretty? My husband bought it for me. And the lotus and pear blossom outfits were bought by my son-in-law. Aren't they nice?"
Cui Gu's eyelids twitched. Was she showing off?
Knowing full well that she is a widow, why did he still go to her door to cause trouble?
"Okay...hehe! It looks good." Cui Gu felt that if she didn't reply, she would probably keep talking endlessly.
"What smells so good?" Ma Hehua's nose is very sensitive.
Cui Gu: "…………………………"
Can you smell the food even when it's in the cupboard?
"It smells delicious! Little sister, are you eating?" Ma Linghua looked at her with a smile.
Cui Gu: "………………………………"
"hold head high!"
"That's perfect, we haven't eaten yet, let's sit down and eat together!" We were a little hungry, and the food we ate while walking from the house had already been digested.
"I've just made a meal... this time..."
"Please treat me this time! It's almost Chinese New Year, and I've brought you some money!"
Before Cui Gu could finish speaking, she was interrupted.
"What are you standing there for? Auntie, hurry up and cook some dishes and some rice!" Ma Hehua urged her.
Cui Gu looked at Ma Hehua, who had an honest face and a somewhat silly, square face, and mentally complained.
Call her aunt? She looks twenty or thirty years older than her, how could she even bring herself to call her aunt?
"Grandma, Brother Shangguan said you're very smart. This is the first time I've seen you, and I think you're very beautiful. I'm sorry to bother you today," Ma Lihua said sweetly, her big eyes looking at her obediently.
Cui Gu was startled. "Heh...hehe...what are you saying! You wait here, I'll go cook and prepare the dishes. It'll be a good opportunity for us women to get together."
As she turned around, her face turned pale, and her eyes were filled with an unfathomable look.
"Mother, the stench has lessened considerably!"
"Lotus, can't you just not talk about this? We're going to eat soon." How disgusting, she doesn't even know when to stop.
"Oh, right!" She scratched her head and smiled sheepishly.
After Cui Gu finished preparing the last dish, exhausted, she returned to the room and was completely dumbfounded.
"Where are the vegetables...?"
She was dumbfounded when she saw the remaining oily soup.
"I ate it!" Ma Hehua said readily.
"So...you're not going to wait for me to come so we can eat together?" Cui Gu couldn't help but roar angrily.
“Sister, it’s not that we didn’t want to wait for you, it’s just that it’s too cold today. If we wait, the food will get cold and won’t taste good. Besides, once we’ve finished eating and left, you can always make it again, right?” Ma Linghua said matter-of-factly.
Suppressing her anger, Cui Gu said, "Fine, eat up! This is the last dish." She then forcefully placed the dish on the table.
The three members of the Ma family looked up and immediately lost their appetite. Who would eat this plate of vegetarian food?
Feeling that it was about time, Ma Linghua stood up, pulled at her pants, then took them off, unzipped them, and took out three thousand yuan from her pocket.
Cui Gu: "???"
Wait a minute... she hid the money in her underwear?
Seeing Cui Gu's dumbfounded and shocked expression, she immediately said, "That's how it is in our village. When you have too much money, you don't feel at ease leaving it anywhere. You only feel at ease keeping it close to your body. Don't worry, I just put on my underwear this morning, and it's perfectly clean."
