“Mother, give… give her share to her!” The eldest Li son could not keep quiet any longer .
“No way . My family has no food . Not a speck!”
Old Madam Li clamored .
Gu Yunjing just sat there without a word .
Li Aiguo was furious . This was the first time that someone was challenging his dignity, and it was the Li family, whom he had always helped . This made him extremely displeased .
He stood up and insisted that the Li family follow him . The Li family was frightened, and hurriedly followed Li Aiguo .
Li Aiguo went straight to the Li House and told the family to bring the food out .
He did not really care about the Li family . Ultimately, his dignity was the most important to him . No one was allowed to go against him .
The food that the Li family finally brought out was only some coarse grain and there was only about a hundred kilograms of it . Old Madam Li rolled about on the ground, howling and wailing that Gu Yunshuang had already eaten her share and there was no more food in the house .
Li Aiguo did not care . He did not really want to arbitrate for Gu Yunshuang . He just wanted to rap the Li family on its knuckles .
“Listen up, all of you . I am only asking you to do the right thing . If you dare to disobey, you will see how I deal with you . Hmph!”
Gu Yunjing glanced at the hundred over kilograms of grain . He knew that there was far more, but he did not say anything . He exchanged some pleasantries and complimented Li Aiguo, then pushed Gu Yunshuang home .
The entire affair had gone smoothly!
So smoothly that everyone in the Poplar Brigade felt rather dazed!
Gu Yunshuang remained silent all the way home . She only asked for the divorce certificate and the certificate stating that Li Fangting had broken off ties with them . Then she solemnly and carefully put them away .
When they saw her expression, all of them fell silent .
After reaching the Gu House, Gu Yunshuang returned to her room to lie down because she was still unwell . Li Fangting kept her company .
At the moment, Gu Qingyao was cooking in the kitchen .
When she saw that everyone was back, she glanced at her older cousins . Her three older cousins nodded at her to signal that everything had gone smoothly .
Gu Jinye moved the hundred over kilograms of food into the kitchen .
Gu Qingyao was delighted that everything had gone so smoothly . She was so happy that she cooked another two dishes .
The fragrance from the kitchen had attracted the younger ones, and they were almost drooling .
A two-tier steamer was set on top of a large pot . The bottom tier held sorghum bread while the top tier held the food that was already cooked .
There was lots of meat . They had all seen it!
Wow! It smelled so good!
“Elder Sister, can we eat yet?”
The younger ones could not stand the allure of meat . They all gazed at it as they drooled .
Eldest Aunt, Fang Ling and Third Aunt, Zhou Ping could not help but laugh at the sight of these children . But Gu Qingyao’s extravagance shocked them . How did they get so much food?
But when they saw that their mother-in-law, Wen Ruyu, did not say anything, they also kept quiet .
Gu Qingyao looked at the four youngsters and said with a smile, “We’ll eat soon . Hurry up and wash your hands, then ask your older brothers to set the table in the main room . The food is almost ready . ”
“Oh oh oh, Older Brother, set the table . It’s time to eat!”
The children cheered as they rushed towards the main room, shouting as they ran .
Gu Qingyao fried another dish of pickled beans and a dish of stir-fried mushrooms before she stopped .
They had set the table in the main room and Gu Jinye, Gu Jinfeng and Gu Jinlin brought the food in . The first dish was braised pork .
There were many men at home today . They would certainly enjoy this dish .
The large platter was piled high with braised pork . It had been made with sugar and wine and was deep red, fragrant and tender . When Gu Jinye took it and saw the large platter of braised pork, he was shocked .
While he was still standing there, stunned, the second dish arrived . It was a glistening dish of braised fish . The fish was very fat and wild mushrooms had been added to the dish .
