Chapter 17 Braised Pig's Trotters
Father Su pushed the wheelchair, Mother Su held Gu Jiaojiao, and Sister Su held the pork in one hand and the pig's leg in the other.
The family walked happily towards the Su's house, and automatically made way for other people they met on the way.
Although some people would continue to gossip behind his back, no one dared to point fingers in front of Su Shuoci.
Those women originally wanted to laugh at Gu Jiaojiao's joke, but the disabled man from the Su family actually went out to buy rice and meat himself.
Some of them can only count the number of times they eat meat in a year with one hand, so they are not in the mood to care about Jiaojiao's joke.
As soon as the Su family went into the house, the whole courtyard was in an uproar, with people saying all kinds of things.
"What do you think the Sheng family meant by severing ties in the newspaper?"
"What's the point? Gu Jiaojiao will definitely live a miserable life if she marries a cripple. It's normal for the Sheng family to abandon her."
"You may not know yet, but the disabled person from the Su family personally took Gu Jiaojiao out to buy a lot of rice and meat."
"Is it true or not? Is the Su family so rich?"
"What's the point of having more money? After all, the one from the Su family is disabled and has no future. Maybe he can't even have children."
"Let me tell you, Second Aunt Sheng and I work in the same hospital, and she told me.
That fake Gu Jiaojiao was born with congenital deficiencies and almost couldn't be raised. If she hadn't been lucky enough to be brought into the Sheng family, she wouldn't have lived to be even one year old.
Second Aunt Sheng said that for the past 18 years, the Sheng family had been feeding that fake guy only rare and precious medicines, which ordinary families could not afford.
But even so, that sickly girl can’t have children, can’t do any work, and is just a breath more than a vase~”
"Bah... What kind of vase is she? At most, she's just an earthen jar."
"How can you guys be so mean? She's still a child and she didn't do anything wrong. The Sheng family has already cut off ties with her in the newspaper, and you're still here to add insult to injury."
The second aunt of the Song family cursed in a loud voice. Everyone in the compound was a little afraid of the Song family, so no one dared to go up and argue.
"Mom, my eldest cousin doesn't like that sickly girl Gu Jiaojiao anymore, why are you still speaking up for her?"
"Compared to Gu Jiaojiao, I dislike Sheng Xinglian even more. I doubt your cousin's eyes. He must be filled with cement. How could he like such a thing?"
"Mom, Sheng Xinglian is the real daughter of the Sheng family, why do you say that about her!"
"There's no one here!" Aunt Song looked around. She actually didn't like Gu Jiaojiao that much.
Although the girl was well educated by Sheng's mother, she became unreasonable after Sheng Xinglian came back.
Second Aunt Song wanted her daughter to marry the second brother of the Sheng family, but unfortunately the second brother of the Sheng family did something to hurt his adopted sister for the sake of his biological sister.
She had no good feelings towards the biological daughter of the Sheng family and ruined her chance of marrying into the family.
"Stay away from Sheng Xinglian from now on. She grew up on a farm, but she is so strong and yet she always looks weak and fake."
"My eldest cousin likes weak beauties. Mom, Sheng Xinglian seems to know my eldest cousin's preferences very well."
"A truly well-educated person would not interfere with other people's feelings. If it were my daughter, I would slap her to death."
Second Aunt Song couldn't stand Sheng Xinglian's pretentious look and was displeased with her no matter how she looked at her.
The old man of the Sheng family and the old man of the Song family were sitting under the old locust tree in the Song family yard playing chess. They were both old men who had retired from the battlefield.
Even though they are over sixty years old, they have amazing hearing and can hear the unscrupulous discussions of those gossipers just outside the wall.
"Your second daughter-in-law is sober, alas, the eldest daughter-in-law is a little less so." Old Master Sheng sighed.
"Why did your Liangyuan want to break up with Jiaojiao? Jiaojiao is really something, how could she become so unreasonable!"
"Ah! If we don't do that, our family will be in turmoil. It's true that Lian'er has suffered for more than ten years, but it's also true that she is too petty.
It is true that the child is eager to learn, but he is too ambitious and can't digest too much. It is better to learn well than to learn a lot. Old Song, I will have to trouble you to take care of me when the time comes."
"Children and grandchildren have their own blessings. I am old now and I don't care about their troubles. But your two grandchildren are too cruel."
"It's a bit cruel, but in my opinion, Su Shuoci is not a bad person. People outside said that he even went out to buy rice and meat for Jiaojiao today."
"I hope Su Shuoci can influence Jiaojiao and make her return to her former obedient self!"
"Let's go back to the old house for dinner. Your old cold leg problem can be cured when Dr. Jiang comes to Qingcheng."
"It's been decades, so you don't mind waiting a little longer. If you have a bad heart, don't worry about your children and grandchildren."
Mr. Su and Mrs. Su sent Su Shuoci and Gu Jiaojiao home and hurried to work.
Su Qinchun was like a hard-working little bee, classifying the things her brother and sister-in-law bought.
"Qinchun, you go light the fire, I'll take care of the pig's feet and the meat. If they're left out for too long in this June weather, they'll start to smell."
"You're tired after the whole morning, are you okay?" Su Qinchun asked a little worriedly.
"Then can you make braised pig's trotters?"
"No, you will?"
"Yes, I will."

Su Qinchun had eaten noodles cooked by Gu Jiaojiao once, and she still savors the taste.
So she happily went to light the fire, her eyes following Gu Jiaojiao's movements.
Gu Jiaojiao washed the pot and added water, then blanched the chopped pig's trotters and half of the pork in boiling water.
When Su Qinchun was adding firewood, he took out peanuts, a bag of spices, a little coriander, MSG, rock sugar, a bottle of soy sauce, and seafood sauce from the space.
Then cook the pig's trotters, pork, spices, peanuts and spices together over high heat for 15 minutes, then switch to low heat.
At the same time, rice was cooked for three people. In fact, Gu Jiaojiao and Su Shuoci did not have lunch.
They ate late and ate a lot in the morning, so they didn't go out to eat.
A strong fragrance filled the air, and Su Qinchun stared at the busy Gu Jiaojiao in amazement.
Gu Jiaojiao served the cooked braised pig’s trotters into a bowl and garnished it with coriander.
"Your saliva is flowing out, hurry up and serve the rice."
"Isn't that bowl you gave to my brother?"
"Let's eat together. When we're done, we'll have more. There's still plenty left."
Su Shuoci had been sitting in a wheelchair, and because the kitchen was not big, he was watching at the door.
Seeing Gu Jiaojiao holding a bowl of fragrant braised pig's trotters, she took it and said, "It's very hot, give it to me."
It was indeed a bit hot, so Gu Jiaojiao handed it to him without hesitation and helped him push the wheelchair.
Su Qinchun used a porcelain basin to fetch water for her brother to wash his hands.
The three of them ate a hearty meal. After a long while, Su Qinchun asked hesitantly, "Gu...Sister-in-law, have you read the newspaper today?"
"No."
She didn't have the habit of reading newspapers. In her previous life, she always looked at her mobile phone. She didn't have time to do that in the two days she was here.
"You... Sheng's father has published an announcement in the newspaper to sever ties with you."
Gu Jiaojiao bit her lip, her smile froze for a moment, then she smiled gently again, as if nothing had happened.
"I'm not a member of the Sheng family, so it's only natural that the relationship ends." Gu Jiaojiao really didn't care.
Last night, the original body told her in a dream that her grudge with the Sheng family was wiped out...
