Li Wenting stood at the door and bit her lips for a long time before returning to the house. She really couldn't live in this house anymore.
Gu Changqing pulled Bai Ruozhen in front, and Gu Changsong shouted from behind, "Gu Laowu, do you understand the rules of seniority? I am your brother. Hurry up and get behind us."
"It depends on your ability." Gu Changqing said without turning his head.
Bai Ruozhen glanced back, pursed his lips and smiled, "Do you want to wait for them?"
Gu Changqing said, "No need." He now had only one thought in mind, which was to take the person home as soon as possible.
Arriving at the door, Gu Changqing straightened his clothes, tugged at Bai Ruozhen's clothes, and said, "Come on, let's go in."
Bai Ruozhen looked at him amusedly, "Are you nervous?"
"No." Gu Changqing shuddered, "Aren't you nervous?"
Bai Ruozhen shook her head honestly, "I'm not nervous." She had met the Queen and the Empress Dowager in her previous life, so how could she be afraid of meeting someone now?
"Okay." Gu Changqing nodded, opened the door, and called out, "Mom, we're back."
As soon as the two of them entered, Bai Ruozhen saw the people in the yard. Except for a young couple, Bai Ruozhen knew everyone else.
Uncle Gu and Aunt Gu, Li Xianjin and Gu Changmei, Gu Changlan and Gu Xiaoli sat together, winking at them. No one else was around. On a day like today, just the Gu family would eat together. Not even Gu Changqing's grandmother's family was invited. Gu Changqing said they would go to the Qiu family alone in the afternoon to complete the ceremony.
"Come in and sit down." Gu Changmei had a big belly and a smile on her face.
Just as he finished speaking, Gu Changsong's voice came from the door again. Gu Changlan smiled and said, "Come on, wait until everyone is here before going into the house."
Gu Changsong pulled Wang Jun in and followed Gu Changqing into the house.
After entering the house, Qiu Lanying came over and said with a smile, "Come, Zhenzhen, Junjun, let me introduce you. This is your second uncle and second aunt."
Bai Ruozhen and Wang Jun obediently called them Second Uncle and Second Aunt.
Next came Gu Changbai and his wife. Qiu Lanying said, "This is your sister-in-law Song Mei and your brother Gu Changbai."
The two of them also called for help.
Gu Changbai smiled, nodded and said a few nice words, but Song Mei didn't even smile, her eyes were fixed on Bai Ruozhen's face.
Qiu Lanying glared at her and said, "There's no need to introduce the others since everyone knows them. When you go to Shanghe Village this afternoon, ask Changsong and Changqing to introduce grandma's family."
Bai Ruozhen and Wang Jun agreed again.
Everyone chatted and laughed in the house for a while. When it was almost noon, Qiu Lanying asked Song Mei and Gu Changlan to help with the cooking. Song Mei said a little unhappy, "Mom, you are too partial."
Qiu Lanying frowned and asked, "Why, are you happy to let two people who haven't even entered the house cook?"
Song Mei whispered, "It's not impossible. Shouldn't we behave well before the new bride comes home?"
Qiu Lanying sneered, "Why didn't you show any performance before you even entered the door?"
"I...can they compare with me?" The contempt in his words was obvious.
Bai Ruozhen and Wang Jun were immediately annoyed when they heard this. Wang Jun was about to speak when Bai Ruozhen stopped him. Bai Ruozhen smiled and said, "Of course we can't compare with the eldest sister-in-law. We are both girls from the city. Our parents taught us at home to respect our elders and to be hospitable to guests. When we came to the countryside, we dared not forget our parents' teachings. We can't compare with the eldest sister-in-law."
Song Mei was immediately annoyed. "You!" she said angrily, "How could it be my turn for a little girl like you to teach me a lesson?"
Bai Ruozhen's smile remained unchanged, "Should we show that it's our aunt who should tell us whether we should cook or not, not our sister-in-law."
"Haha," Song Mei pointed at her angrily, then said to Gu Changqing, "Look at the perfect match you've found. She doesn't know any etiquette at all. She hasn't even entered the house yet, but she's already acting like a tyrant at home. Who are you trying to show off to?"
Gu Changqing stood in front of Bai Ruozhen and looked at Song Mei, then said to Gu Changbai, "Brother, I don't want to hit a woman. I thought our family could have a peaceful meal together, but now I find that it's impossible. Brother, don't you still have things to do? Why don't you go back first?"
Gu Changbai stood up, glanced at Bai Ruozhen who was standing behind Gu Changqing, and said to Gu Changqing, "No matter what, she is still your eldest sister-in-law. Is this how your partner should treat your eldest sister-in-law?"
"Brother, don't forget, they haven't married yet." Gu Changqing raised his eyebrows, "Besides, I like her like this. If she just listens to my sister-in-law, I'll be worried." Then he turned to Bai Ruozhen and said, "Zhenzhen, well done."
Bai Ruozhen showed his white teeth.
Qiu Lanying frowned and said, "If you two want to have a meal together as a family, shut up. If I hear you say something bad again, get out of here together."
As he said this, he glared at Song Mei fiercely.
Song Mei snorted and looked at Bai Ruozhen with poisonous eyes.
Bai Ruozhen gave her a bright smile in return, which made Song Mei furious.
Bai Ruozhen took Wang Jun's hand and said, "Sister Junjun, let's go help Auntie cook."
"How can I let you cook? Go and take a rest." Qiu Lanying smiled and drove them out, then said, "Your sister-in-law is just that kind of person. You won't see her often in the future anyway, so don't bother with her."
Bai Ruozhen lowered his head slightly and said, "Aunt, I was wrong too. I shouldn't have confronted her directly."
Qiu Lanying said, "Hey, she's the type that should be fought back. If you give in to her wishes, she'll only get worse in the future."
"Forget about her." Bai Ruozhen said with a smile, "Let everyone have a taste of my cooking skills today."
Conquering a family starts with conquering their stomachs.
