Chapter 84 8 dishes and 1 soup
The Jun family mother and daughter had always listened to that, and now they no longer felt that such a person was beneath them.
I found it quite interesting and quickly became familiar with Aunt Gu.
Dongfang Jin listened to what Aunt Gu was saying, ever since that day when her family followed Master Xu.
The families who vandalized her house failed to cause trouble for Gu Meiyu, but they retaliated against Gu Xiaocui's family.
Men beat men when they saw each other, women ganged up on each other, and even Gu Xiaocui was beaten up several times by the daughters of these families.
Later, Gu Fugui couldn't stand it anymore, so he took his daughter to the Gu family to demand an explanation from Gu Meiyu.
Why should their family bear all of this?
Sure enough, as soon as they started talking, Old Lady Gu scolded them and even revealed that Gu Xiaocui wanted to become a concubine for her son Gu Yaohui.
The villagers, who were watching, cursed Gu Xiaocui, saying that a toad dared to dream of eating swan meat, and even told Gu Fugui to quickly send his daughter to a brothel...
Now, the onlookers were in an uproar.
Upon hearing those words, Gu Xiaocui abandoned her innocent act and transformed into a fierce tigress, rushing forward to tear into Gu Meiyu.
During their altercation, the two revealed many previously unknown secrets about their respective families.
Gu Xiaocui revealed that Gu Meiyu told her that Gu Chenglin was just a dog that his family kept.
They were slaves who worked for her family...
Gu Meiyu revealed that Gu Xiaocui's father was having an affair with Widow Zhou in the village, and because of this, she even extorted money from her father...
Gu Xiaocui saw that her mother and father had started fighting, and then she revealed that Gu Meiyu had told her that her older sister, Gu Meixiang, was pregnant out of wedlock and that's why she married into the Ye family in Changhe Town.
Previously, her brother-in-law had a fiancée, because her brother-in-law's fiancée's younger brother was studying at the private school run by Gu Meiyu's uncle.
That family couldn't afford to offend him, so they had no choice but to break off the engagement...
The two of them were fighting and revealing secrets at the same time, which gave the villagers who were watching a good laugh.
They also began to despise both families, and it was only after the clan chief intervened that the conflict was quelled.
However, everyone could see that the clan leader was on Gu Meiyu's side.
Just when everyone thought the matter was over, the next night, Gu Qingshan's woodshed caught fire, and Gu Fugui's kitchen collapsed.
And so, the two families started fighting again over this matter...
Dongfang Jin said with a smile, "Autumn is so busy and tiring, so this is a good opportunity for you to watch a free show. Wouldn't it be a waste not to watch?"
That family's troubles are yet to come. They're a bunch of bullies who prey on the weak and fear the strong. Do they really think they're invincible just because they have a young scholar in their family?
Someone who hasn't even mastered the Four Books and Five Classics wants to become the top scholar? Dream on!
This is just Ling'an County, yet they've become so arrogant and disdainful of everyone. I don't know what they're even doing with their brains.
The Eastern Lin Kingdom comprises nine provinces and twelve prefectures. Each province, not to mention the number of prefectures, has a certain number of students within its counties alone.
Not to mention the capital, a place teeming with talent, Gu Yaohui was merely a student in the preliminary examinations, yet he shamelessly claimed he could become the top scholar...
Aunt Gu looked at him with disdain: "Pah, the autumn harvest is the most tiring, even more tiring than the wheat harvest in summer."
Who has the time to watch them perform? That whole family is so lazy, not even as hardworking as Sun Xing's pigs.
Go and take a look in the fields. Gu Qingshan's fields are all occupied by him. Oh, and there's an old yellow ox with him. That ox was a new one that Cheng Lin got after returning from his corvée labor.
Even if this animal goes to his home, it will suffer.
Other families treat their oxen like treasures, but not every piece of land needs an ox; they all share the work.
His family is really something else; not only do they not feed their cows enough, but they also make them do so much work every day.
After hearing all this, Jun Qixian asked in surprise, "Fourth Aunt, didn't you say that besides that young scholar, Brother Chenglin has two other younger brothers? Don't they work in the fields?"
Aunt Gu slapped her thigh and said sarcastically, "Work? When it comes to work, Gu Yaozong always says that his father-in-law's restaurant is busy."
Gu Yaozu always gets sick whenever he does work; he either twists his back, sprains his ankle, or gets diarrhea.
You have no idea how much trouble that family can cause.
They're usually full of energy, but when it's work season, illnesses seem to visit each other like they're visiting neighbors; they get sick very quickly.
Dongfang Jin scoffed, "A lazy donkey on a millstone produces a lot of excrement and piss." Look at all those muscular bodies, which one of them looks like someone who's going to do the work?
Of everyone in the village, only their family produced a bunch of fat people. Work? With children raised like that old hag Gu, how many could be good?
He's always showing off, all that fat, doesn't he worry about bringing trouble to his family?
Aunt Gu clapped her hands: "Yes, that's exactly what Xiao Jin meant."
Jun Wenhui asked curiously, "Where are her daughters-in-law? What are they doing?"
When Aunt Gu mentioned this, her face was full of disdain: "Second son's wife, Li, usually uses money to deal with her mother-in-law. She doesn't have a son to rely on, but she has money."
Supporting a student's education is expensive for that family. Where does the money come from? It all comes from what Li provides at this time.
She could get away with not doing farm work if she was paid, but she still had to do the housework. If she didn't, her two daughters would have to do it.
Since they sent Shitou and Caiwei away, the two daughters of the second son's family have been doing the work of cutting pig feed and feeding chickens.
The two daughters of the second son's family also had a hard life; they were the family's punching bags.
But as the saying goes, every pitiful person has something hateful about them, and the two daughters of the second son's family are quite wicked too.
Such a dramatic child at such a young age...
The third daughter-in-law is named Ye Shilan, and she and Old Lady Gu are from the same clan.
Ye Shilan was also good at coaxing people, and she also gave birth to a grandson for the Gu family. This Gu Jinsuo was a little over a month older than Shitou.
Gu Jinshuo is still attending classes at Yejia Private School in Changhe Town and lives with his maternal relatives.
Grandma Gu was a respected figure in her own family, but her grandson was being raised by his maternal grandfather. She felt guilty but dared not cause trouble.
Gu Meiyu was even lazier. She was always finding excuses to go to the county to take care of her younger brother, Gu Yaohui; she was a student of the Imperial Academy, and she was always finding excuses to go to her maternal relatives' house to learn embroidery.
Dongfang Jin pouted: "The whole family bullies the weak and fears the strong."
Aunt Gu: "That's right. Chenglin used to do all the work in the fields. After Chenglin left, his ex-wife took over."
Aunt Gu glanced at Dongfang Jin after saying this, and seeing that she didn't seem to care, she stopped talking.
Then she recounted to the Jun family mother and daughter how Gu Chenglin's ex-wife had suffered mistreatment and how she had been driven to jump into the river by that family.
Jun Wenhui: "..." This family is so shameless? Birds of a feather flock together.
Jun Qixian: "..." Is Brother Chenglin really that spineless? He doesn't seem like it.
Dongfang Jin said with a sneer, "This is what they call 'birds of a feather flock together'."
While they were talking, Dongfang Jin took out a large bag of fries, a large bag of chicken nuggets, and a large bag of popcorn chicken from her spatial storage without their noticing.
When Jun Qixian saw Dongfang Jin opening the package with scissors, she asked curiously, "Jin-jie, what's this?"
How come she didn't notice these things before?
"Oh, this? Your brother Lin bought it today from a merchant from the east."
I heard it's incredibly cold in Dongzhou right now, so they use ice to store food, saying it keeps it fresh longer.
He was also encountering this for the first time, and said that it was a semi-finished product made by the people there, which could be eaten after being fried in a pan.
I heard it's really delicious, let's all try this new thing today.
You know, she can keep taking this stuff out of the freezer.
She came with a mission today, but that will have to wait until after the autumn harvest.
Let a few companies figure out what to do first, and avoid creating conflicts between them.
……
There were many people today, so Dongfang Jin prepared the following dishes on the menu: radish and mutton meatball soup, stir-fried cabbage with vinegar, stir-fried shredded potatoes, braised pork, braised pig's head, pig's feet and eggs, braised pork ribs, pork stew with cabbage, and spinach with sesame sauce. Dongfang Jin made eight dishes and one soup.
