So she quickly waved her hand and said, "No, don't tell your father. I'm fine now. Later, when I've recovered enough, I'll find a doctor to check you out, and then you'll be fine." Li said hurriedly, her heart filled with worry.
Seeing that Li Shi's expression was a bit off, Gu Sang became suspicious and asked, "Mother, what's wrong? Are you feeling unwell? You seem a little strange today."
After hearing Gu Sang's question, Li shook her head and said with a smile, "It's nothing. I'm just feeling a little tired lately. You don't need to worry too much."
Seeing that Li Shi was unwilling to tell the truth, Gu Sang stopped asking and changed the subject, saying, "Mother, let me serve you some rice. Wait a moment, it'll be quick." With that, Gu Sang took a bowl and went into the kitchen.
After Gu Sang served the rice, she carried it to Li Shi's side, sat down, and handed the bowl to Li Shi, saying, "Mother, try the dishes I made. If you like them, I'll cook for you every day from now on, as much as you want."
Gu Sang said with a smile that she really hoped Li would like the dishes she made. After all, she had worked so hard to make so many delicious dishes for Li, and she didn't want all her efforts to be in vain or her time to be wasted.
Hearing Gu Sang's words, Li Shi was very happy. She picked up her chopsticks, took a bite of the dish Gu Sang had made for her, and was immediately stunned. She realized that Gu Sang's cooking skills were truly excellent, and the food she made was delicious. She had never known that Gu Sang had such a talent for cooking. In the past, Li Shi had always complained about Gu Sang's clumsiness. Now, thinking about it, Li Shi felt her face burning. Her silly daughter was truly remarkable. She really regretted it; she should have taught her properly and let her learn to cook.
Thinking this to herself, Li smiled and said, "Gu Sang, you used to cook, so don't be lazy now. Go and cook! I'm not like you, I'm a big lazy pig, so don't try to cook with me. If you want to eat, just cook it yourself. I won't help you, otherwise you won't cook for your mother."
After hearing Li's words, Gu Sang shook her head helplessly. However, after thinking for a moment, she understood that Li must have said that because she was afraid that she would take over cooking.
"Mother, the way you're talking makes it sound like I'm some kind of great demon. I'm not that kind of demon at all. I'm a very kind and good girl. I would never compete with you to cook. I just want you to eat more comfortably. So don't worry, whatever you want to eat, I'll make it for you and make sure you're full and satisfied," Gu Sang said to Li Shi with a smile.
"Yes, that's good, that's good. Mother loves it when you're so filial." Li said with a smile after hearing Gu Sang's words.
Gu Sang was very happy to see that Li Shi liked the food she cooked. She felt that she had not wasted all the years she had spent learning these skills. The food she could cook now was even better than the food in five-star hotels.
"Mom, then you should eat quickly. After you finish eating, I'll cook some other dishes for you. I've almost learned them all. Give me a few more days, and I'll be able to learn all those dishes," Gu Sang said confidently.
Hearing Gu Sang's words, Li nodded, then smiled and said, "Yes, good. You must work hard so that your mother won't go hungry." After saying that, Li buried herself in her work again. Although she was starving, she decided to eat as much as she could so that she could gain more weight.
Seeing how happily Li was eating, Gu Sang couldn't help but smile. Seeing Li so happy made Gu Sang feel very gratified.
After finishing her meal, Gu Sang cleared away the dishes and prepared to clean the yard, but was stopped by Li Shi as soon as she reached the door.
"You don't need to do these things. Let your younger brother do them. Don't go out during this time. Just stay at home. Once your brother brings back the groceries, we can start cooking." Li said to Gu Sang while wiping her hands.
After hearing what Li said, Gu Sang had no choice but to agree.
After Gu Sang agreed, she began tidying up the yard.
After they finished tidying up, it was already dark. Gu Sang and Li Shi went to take a bath together. After bathing, Gu Sang lay down on the kang (a heated brick bed) to go to sleep. She was really too tired.
Li didn't wake Gu Sang and went to sleep first. Gu Sang turned over on the kang and prepared to go to sleep, but at this moment she suddenly felt the bed board shaking, so she opened her eyes abruptly.
Gu Sang heard a knocking sound at the door.
"Who is it?" Gu Sang asked, but there was no answer.
"Knock knock knock"
The knocking continued.
Upon hearing the knocking at the door, Gu Sang frowned. Who could it be so late? Was it a guest from the village? Or had something serious happened somewhere? Regardless of the reason, Gu Sang was very worried because she knew very well that the village was in chaos.
"Squeak!"
With a sound, the door was pushed open from the outside, and a figure walked in. Gu Sang felt a pang of embarrassment; it was Li Rong.
"Li Rong, what are you doing at my house? You didn't sneak here, did you? You'd better leave quickly, or it won't be good if Mother sees you." Gu Sang said to Li Rong with a blush. She dared not let Li Rong live under the same roof as her and her mother. If Li Shi saw her living with Li Rong, she would definitely scold her.
"Gu Sang, don't be afraid. I just came to check on your injuries. Are you feeling better now? If you are, let's go out and do some shopping. We haven't gone out shopping in a long time, and I'm getting impatient," Li Rong said to Gu Sang.
After hearing Li Rong's words, Gu Sang secretly complained to herself. She really hadn't seen Li Rong so eager to go out. However, since Li Rong was so eager to go out, she couldn't refuse. So she said to Li Rong, "Alright then, since you're in such a hurry, let's go out. Anyway, we don't have anything to do at home."
