”Dad, if you don’t like us, Zhou Zhou and I will go back right away. Even if we go back today, everyone in the village will be watching us. It’s not even noon yet, and we haven’t even eaten yet. Who knows what the villagers will say.”

　　Gu’s father loves face the most. When Gu Zhao married into the family’s family, he was ridiculed behind the back by the villagers, who said that he was selling out his son. It took him several times of scolding before no one dared to say anything. If he kicked him out today, I don’t know what kind of story the villagers will make.

　　He was greedy for the Li family’s money and didn’t even offer them a bowl of rice.

　　Even if Li Guihua was a shrew, she couldn’t explain it to Gu Zhao at this moment, because what Gu Zhao said was right, that was the truth. She started cursing at the top of her lungs, and the next moment she became the one who chattered at the entrance of the village.

　　Take a married girl for example. She doesn’t dare to ask others to do housework, cook or wash clothes after she returns home three days later. So once she is married, she belongs to someone else, a relative, and a guest.

　　Father Gu tried to calm down his anger but still couldn’t calm down. He yelled at Li Guihua, “What are you still standing there for? Go cook.”

　　”Mother just said she was tired because of her pregnancy. I don’t want to tire her out.” Gu Zhao looked sympathetic and said, “Why don’t I do it? I just don’t know how to do it. If anything gets burned or broken, I didn’t mean to do it. Please don’t blame me, mother.”

　　Li Guihua: …

　　What did he burn? The rice or the pot? What did he break? The bowl or the basin?

　　Li Guihua felt pained when she thought of this. Of course, she didn’t want Gu Zhao to touch her things and waste them. But when he said he would do it, Gu Zhao said it was not good and would tire her out, so he insisted on doing it.

　　But no one suggested letting Li Zhouzhou do it.

　　Finally, Li Guihua gritted her teeth and invited her aunt to cook. Her aunt had a daughter and an old lady, so they didn’t need a cook. But when Li Guihua went to invite them, the old lady heard the reason and didn’t scold Gu Zhao and Li Zhouzhou, because Gu Zhao was married and was a relative, not an outsider. She just said that Li Guihua was precious and couldn’t even cook a good meal, which made her son suffer.

　　My aunt was also trained by Old Lady Gu. Old ladies are very polite. When she arrived at the kitchen and saw two pounds of meat, she said, “Then let’s stew some rice, stir-fry some cabbage and meat, stir-fry some pickled cabbage and meat. Anything else?”

　　When Li Guihua heard that two meat dishes were to be cooked, she felt even more heartbroken.

　　She originally wanted to send Gu Zhao and Li Zhouzhou away with a pot of pickled vegetable noodles, and keep the two pounds of meat for herself.

　　The fourth brother’s wife didn’t say anything, so the eldest aunt took charge and cooked two meat dishes and two vegetables. Because she helped, Gu’s father didn’t want to let the eldest sister-in-law work for nothing, so he asked her to take a portion of the meat dish back to eat, as a way to honor my mother and eldest brother.

　　Except for Gu Zhao, no one enjoyed the lunch.

　　Tiedan and Hutou didn’t dare to take more meat dishes. Would his mother scold him for being a beggar and saying he was short of food and meat?

　　He is making a veiled criticism of someone else.

　　Gu Zhao understood, and then he picked up a large piece of meat and put it in Zhou Zhou’s bowl, and said with a smile: “Zhou Zhou, eat meat.”

　　My aunt’s cooking skills are really good and the meat is really delicious.
