Chapter 117: Reincarnation of a starving ghost!
You can't get angry on your birthday.
Gu Tang stood up to smooth things over and placed the bamboo tube filled with green wine in front of the siblings: "Today is Dad's birthday. Big brother and big sister, you also stand up and toast Dad a glass of wine."
Gu Mei was very dissatisfied and was about to say, "Why don't you just toast?" But when she looked up, she was met with Gu Tang's murderous gaze, and she immediately came to her senses!
She shuddered all over, pulled Gu Laian to stand up, and with trembling hands poured a cup of wine for each of them.
Gu Mei picked up the wine cup, her mind went blank, she didn't know what to say, in a hurry, she simply copied Gu Ping'an's words: "Dad! I wish you 'a long life, wealth and no worries'!"
Then he tilted his head back and drank the wine.
Gu Laian followed suit and said the same thing as Gu Mei. After he finished speaking, he didn't even look at his father and eagerly drank the wine in the cup in one gulp.
After drinking, he smacked his lips a few times, with a look of unsatisfied expression on his face.
The brother and sister moved quite quickly and toasted everyone in one go, but Gu Lianshan hadn't even raised the wine cup in his hand!
Gu Lianshan was already growing angry, and was about to explode at any moment!
Seeing that her father was about to throw the wine cup in anger, Gu Tang had no choice but to step forward to smooth things over again: "Brother and sister have never experienced anything, so it's not their fault that they don't know the etiquette. Dad, don't take it personally. Don't be angry today."
Gu Lianshan's anger subsided a little. Indeed, his eldest son and daughter had never experienced any major events.
He nodded and suddenly stopped.
No! His eldest son and daughter have never experienced anything, and his youngest son and daughter have never experienced anything either! How can there be such a big difference in how they handle things? !
It can be seen that it is human nature. One is dull and the other is smart, so they are destined to be different.
Thinking of this, Gu Lianshan's anger subsided a little. For people with dull nature, you can be angry to death but there is nothing you can do about it, because they are born that way.
"They are all children. Daddy won't bother with them. Sit down and eat." Gu Lianshan asked Gu Tang to sit beside him and put the fried chicken with pickles on the table in front of her: "I know you don't like pork. This chicken is all yours."
After he finished speaking, he glared at Gu Mei and Gu Laian and said, "Four plates of pork have been fried. Each of you eat from the plate in front of you, and don't grab others'! You are not allowed to touch the chicken either. Your sister doesn't like pork, so this chicken is specially reserved for her. Did you hear me?!"
Hearing this, the brother and sister didn't care about being angry. They nodded insincerely and quickly reached out to grab the fried meat with pickled vegetables in front of them to protect them.
Then he picked up the bowl, poured the white and fragrant rice from the rice bowl into the bowl, piling it into a point, and made a big bowl full!
First, he picked up a full chopstick of meat and stuffed it into his mouth. After chewing it for a few times, he started to pick up another chopstick of meat. He repeated this several times until the brother and sister's mouths were full.
The oil from the meat slices flowed down the corners of their mouths, dripping onto the table, into the bowl, and then onto them.
The brother and sister were completely unaware and continued to grab the meat desperately, occasionally taking the time to stuff a mouthful of rice. They really were like starving ghosts reincarnated!
Gu Tang was so disgusted by what she saw that she didn't even want to touch the chicken and rice in front of her. Fortunately, her father had specifically told her and her brother not to snatch other people's food.
If the chopsticks were to reach the plate in front of her, she would definitely get angry!
She tried to convince herself not to argue with her eldest son and daughter who were not very smart, but she didn't expect that the brother and sister would start a "hungry ghosts fighting for food" scene in the blink of an eye.
Gu Lianshan was so angry that his hands were shaking as he held the wine cup!
Gu Tang comforted him in a low voice: "Don't be angry, don't be angry. Our second branch has never eaten meat so much before, so it's understandable that they lost their composure for a moment. They are enjoying their meal right now. If you lose your temper, they might get startled. Be careful that the food in their mouths gets stuck in their throats!"
Upon hearing this, Gu Lianshan became even angrier!
They were not the only ones who had never eaten meat in such big mouthfuls. Everyone in their second branch had never eaten meat in big mouthfuls!
But right now, apart from this pair of unpresentable bastards, who else is like them? !
Gu Tang poured him another glass of wine: "Just pretend you didn't see it. Why bother with them? Let's eat our food."
Pushing Gu Ping'an who was standing beside him with a look of disgust, Gu Tang secretly winked at him, signaling him to control the expression on his face, stop looking over there, and eat quickly!
Disband immediately after eating!
The original cheerful atmosphere had long since disappeared, and no one in the house spoke except for the sound of eating.
Gu Tang didn't want to liven up the atmosphere. She felt pain in her eyes when she saw the brother and sister opposite her. She really didn't feel like livening up the atmosphere. She lowered her head and ate the food in front of her.
As for her father Gu Lianshan, Gu Tang took the time to look up and saw that he still had a gloomy face and was drinking cup after cup of wine.
It's not okay to eat like this. Gu Tang put away the remaining green wine and pushed the food in front of her father: "If you eat more, you will get drunk. There is medicine boiling in the corridor outside. Everyone in the main hall is lying down now. Uncle won't show up, so you have to watch over him. Eat less."
Gu Tang's words reminded Gu Lianshan that he really shouldn't drink like this. The old man and mother in the main room were both unconscious, and medicine was being boiled in the corridor. If the two old people didn't wake up after taking the medicine, they would have to call a doctor in the afternoon.
He has to take care of all of this.
Gu Lianshan sighed, picked up his chopsticks and ate his meal in silence.
Listening to her father's sigh, Gu Tang didn't look up, her drooping eyelids blocking the faint light in her eyes.
I believe that after this incident, her father will never let her and her brother eat at the same table with them again.
…
The people in the East Wing were unaware of the unpleasantness in the West Wing. They only knew that the aroma of meat from the entire yard kept seeping into the East Wing, and even closing the doors and windows could not stop it.
The smell of meat not only made Gu Qing, Gu Lian, and Gu Tianbao drool and their stomachs growl, but even Gu Liansheng who was lying in the inner room felt the same way.
Gu Liansheng had been scolded before, and when he learned that the clan was going to help his family divide the property, he was already extremely panicked.
He originally wanted to go to the main hall to discuss the matter with his parents, but when he remembered that Gu Lianshan was guarding there, he hesitated and did not dare to go.
I was afraid that after I got there, I would be stopped and asked to keep watch on my own.
Gu Liansheng didn't want to keep watch, nor did he want to face his second brother Gu Lianshan. Feeling full of hatred and anger, he smashed the teacup on the table beside the bed to pieces.
The three siblings who heard the noise outside were so scared that none of them dared to go into the inner room.
But as the aroma of meat continued to seep in, Gu Liansheng, who was already irritable and angry, became even more angry.
He actually overturned the table, making a loud bang, and then yelled at the outside: "Did you two dead girls hang yourself?! Don't you know what time it is? Do I have to rush you to cook?!"
Hearing the scolding, the sisters Gu Qing and Gu Lian's faces turned pale instantly and their bodies shook involuntarily a few times.
Although Gu Tianbao was not scolded, he was extremely afraid of his father's angry look, so he trembled twice and hid behind Gu Lian with his neck shrunk.
