Chapter Eighty-Eight: Midnight Conspiracy (I)

Because it was close to noon, Gu Zhidong was "kindly" stayed by them to eat.

Because he was a guest, he sat directly in the hall, and just didn't help to choose food or do other work.

In the kitchen, Gu Xiaomei and Wang Ping from the big house were cooking inside, but you were yours and I was mine, and there was even a sentence in them.

If there is, it is all sarcastic words of the two. It's a mini-battlefield.

When the food is served, the dishes are some home-grown greens and some pickled vegetables.

There is no oil or water on these dishes, and they are so clear that they can be seen as humans.

Because the dishes are in charge of the daughter-in-law of the big house, and Gu Xiaomei is only responsible for cooking, serving meals and washing dishes.

Seeing these dishes, Gu Xiaomei frowned, then looked at the eldest daughter-in-law and asked, "Sister-in-law, didn't you buy meat at home today?"

Wang Ping, who was eating a meal, sniffed it, and then put the chopsticks on the table, and her face suddenly became pale.

"What meat is not meat, where did we buy meat at home today."

Mrs. Zhang, who was sitting above, also echoed, "That's it, where did you buy meat today, I see that you have eaten too much food and stuffed your head." ”

Gu Xiaomei refused to give up, and then questioned them with questioning words, "I personally went to the village to buy today's meat, did I even forget what I did?" Sister-in-law, this matter is on you, do you think you will forget it so forgetfully? ”

After sister-in-law Wang Ping heard this, her face suddenly became ugly. But she is not easy to mess with, so she also countered: "If it comes to forgetfulness, brother and sister, you can be called the number one in the family, and I can't compare to you." However, this matter is not a forgetful thing, I think you haven't eaten meat for a long time, so you are thinking about it here, and you thought you bought meat today. ”

For the quarrel between the two of them, their respective men were silent, watching them quarrel coldly.

Gu Xiaomei was extremely aggrieved in her heart, and was about to speak, but she was glared at coldly by the old man Zhang who had been sitting on the top seat and had not spoken, and then put the chopsticks on the table heavily, and scolded angrily: "Eat all, if you don't want to eat, go back to the room."

The two of them were scolded by him, and they immediately fell silent, and they both picked up their chopsticks again and ate them.

It's just that the two of them stared at each other while eating, and their eyes were filled with the strong smell of gunpowder.

Gu Zhidong, who had been sitting, couldn't do anything about them, because this was their family affair, and he was still on their territory, so he was weak, so he didn't dare to provoke them.

As for whether to buy meat or not, only they know, but of course they believe what their sister said, but they want to cover it up, and they don't say much.

And Mrs. Zhang and everyone who knew about it all tacitly ate the food in their bowls silently.

It's rare to buy meat to eat once, and there isn't much meat in the first place, so they don't want to take it out and share it with Gu Zhidong, an outsider.

And Wang Ping, who was sitting next to her man, was in charge of cooking, she deliberately hid the meat she bought today, and deliberately put less oil when frying vegetables, so as not to let Gu Zhidong take advantage of her.

Eating these dishes, which are less oil and water than his own home, Gu Zhidong really felt a little difficult to swallow.

However, he was also really hungry, and then ate three bowls of rice in a row, which made the Zhang family feel distressed.

This is rice, and there is not much left after paying the grain every year, but it is good that there are many fields planted in your own home, so that you can eat every day.

However, he ate too much.

Mrs. Zhang was silently distressed in her heart, she knew that she wanted to drink porridge today, and then asked Gu Xiaomei to stop cooking and cook porridge instead.

It's a pity that the world didn't know it earlier.

………………………

At the dinner table, everyone had different thoughts, and it wasn't until the meal was finished that these people pretended to be polite and said a few words to Gu Zhidong, and then left.

After cleaning up the dishes and chopsticks, Gu Xiaomei went outside when she pulled her eldest brother.

After finding a place where no one was around, she stood still.

"Big brother, did you come to me for that cheap girl's business?" Gu Xiaomei asked her eldest brother in a low voice.

When Gu Zhidong heard this, he nodded, and said in the same low voice: "Well, something happened at home, and my mother plans to advance this matter." And my mother told us to go to the five brothers in the ravine now, and let them go to our village to meet them at night. ”

As soon as she heard that the plan had been advanced, Gu Xiaomei's heart was simply happy.

With money, I can stand up straight in my in-law's house, and I don't have to be excluded and bullied by everyone like this.

And most importantly, when the time comes, when you have money, you can not only stand up straight, but also be able to eat your favorite meat.

Thinking of the taste of meat, her saliva wanted to flow out.

"Okay, let's go now."

Gu Xiaomei couldn't wait to pat her thigh in response.

The two discussed it and left immediately, and even Lao Zhang's family didn't say hello.

In order to shorten the time, Gu Xiaomei and Gu Zhidong combined the money in their pockets.

After calculating, the combined money was enough for two people to go back and forth in a carriage.

So, when they got to the town, they hired a carriage, and let the coachman go to the ditch as fast as he could, and as soon as he could, he could discuss with the six brothers all the things that were going on for the night.

Gu Anning didn't know anything they had done, she was still busy building her own house.

……………………

When night fell, Gu Anning tidied up the medicine field and vegetable field in the space. Then I went to the chicken pen and picked up all the eggs.

The newly added male pheasant has merged into the circle, and some of the spirits are no longer as scared as they used to be.

Picking up all the eggs, Gu Anning went out of the space and brought a lit oil lamp, and then lit them one by one.

If it was found that there were embryos inside, Gu Anning would separate the wild eggs and pack them up.

When the new house is built, you can plan to raise a flock of wild pheasants in the backyard, and then let the little things that can eat complementary food eat these highly nutritious wild eggs every day.

In the future, his body, that will definitely be great.

When the time was about the same, Gu Anning washed up and held the small bun out of the space.

In the middle of the night, all the families in the village were asleep, and there was only the occasional barking of dogs.

……………………

In the old mansion, Mrs. Gu quietly got up from the bed, passed over the old man Gu who was sleeping on the edge of the bed, picked up his clothes and put them on, and then walked out of the door.

In the courtyard, Gu Zhidong and his wife and Gu Xiaomei were already waiting there, and now only the arrival of Gu's wife and son was missing.
