Gu Qingyao pursed her lips . She really did not want to be bothered by the Zhang family at that moment . She just wanted to cook in peace .
Zhang Xiaohui and Gu Ruoqing were outside, and they had come for their things . Although they thought they could have anything they wanted after Zhang Xiaohui got a divorce and married Wang Guozhu, the difficulties of these times meant that they could not relinquish their old belongings .
Although they despised their old clothes and shoes, they could not possibly throw them all away .
They were not that rich .
Gu Yunshen did not mind them taking their things . The faster they left, the better . These things were of no use to him anyway, so they might as well take them, or they would just be an eyesore .
They went to Gu Ruoqing’s room first . The room was very small, even smaller than Gu Qingyao’s room . There was a bed, a cupboard, a table and a stool . There were bed sheets and blankets on the bed . No one had lived here for some time, so it was rather dusty .
Gu Ruoqing was not a tidy person and her room was dirty and messy . Clothes were piled sloppily on her bed . Some were hers, and some belonged to Zhang Xiaohui .
These were all their old clothes .
They packed all the clothes and took them away . The Zhang family could not bear to leave the cupboard, table and bed behind . They wanted to take them too .
This was furniture . Some people did not have any .
Gu Yunshen did not care . They could take it if they wanted to .
So the Zhang family’s second son, Zhang Jianye, and the third son, Zhang Jianjun, took the bed and cupboard . An ox cart was left at the door of the courtyard . They had brought their own transport .
Gu Qingyao’s mouth twitched when she saw them moving the furniture .
When they were done with Gu Ruoqing’s room, they moved on to Gu Yunshen’s room . Zhang Xiaohui’s things were there .
The moment they entered the room and looked around, they could see that everything was clearly divided .
Gu Yunshen and Zhang Xiaohui’s belongings were kept separately .
The two of them slept on a long brick bed, each on one end . Their clothes, shoes, blankets and so on, were all placed separately . Zhang Xiaohui had two boxes that contained all her belongings .
In these times, people did not have many belongings . Zhang Xiaohui’s possessions were already considered quite substantial . Many other households did not have so many possessions among the entire family .
Zhang Jianye and Zhang Jianguo could tell at a glance what belonged to her . All they had to do was move them . Their two wives were bored, so they glanced at the kitchen . The door was closed, but the sounds of cooking could be heard from within .
The two of them moved towards the kitchen and peeped through the window, only to see Gu Qingyao standing at the table, slicing a large hunk of bacon . As they watched it being sliced, they imagined it would be particularly delicious in their mouths!
“Mother! Mother! There’s meat . There’s bacon!”
Old Madam Zhang’s eyes brightened the moment she heard there was meat . She hurried over to look . When she looked carefully through the window, she realized that there was more than one kind of meat on Gu Qingyao’s table .
Chicken, fish, meat, eggs . There was everything!
The three of them rushed towards the kitchen, but Mo Beihan was standing there .
Mo Beihan was speechless . He had shut the door, but had forgotten to shut the window .
“Move aside!” Old Madam Zhang bellowed impatiently .
Mo Beihan rolled his eyes . “This is the Gu house . It has no connection to your Zhang family . Get lost!”
Er…
His tone was very rude . This was the first time Old Madam Zhang had encountered this kind of treatment here .
Before that, the Gu family was always trying to stay out of trouble . As a landlord family undergoing re-education through labor, they could not afford to get into any kind of trouble .
The Zhang family were their relatives, and very difficult to deal with .
“This is the Gu house . What business is it of yours? You don’t even belong to our brigade . Mind your own business!”
Mo Beihan was about to say something when Gu Qingyao opened the door from within .
