Ever since her parents sold her to the Gu Family, her relationship with the Chen Family has been on thin ice.
All these years, whenever her family came to sponge off them, she tolerated it out of gratitude for raising her. But now they’ve bullied her husband and daughter, how can she bear it?
Usually, she’d let it slide when it came to asking for food, but now that it’s come to blows, it’s a different matter.
"Mom, I’m starving; let’s eat first... Tomorrow I’ll go with you to the Chen Family to help Dad and my little sister get revenge," urged Gu Jiajie.
"What Jiajie is saying is right. Let the eldest daughter-in-law go tomorrow; we, the Gu Family, won’t be pushed around."
The old man, who had appeared unknown to anyone, spoke up at this moment.
Under the family’s persuasion, Chen Hong gave up the idea of going to the Chen Family.
Seeing that the matter was settled, Gu Jin called everyone to dinner, asking Gu Jiajie to fetch Liu Pingyuan and Wu Zhiren to join them.
She personally went inside to call the little one to come eat.
Tonight, the Gu Family was bustling with activity, with nine people, both adults and children, packed around the small dining table.
The warm dishes on the table filled the air with a tempting aroma that made everyone drool.
Liu Pingyuan and Wu Zhiren’s eyes gleamed with amazement, fixated on the braised venison on the table and the pork meatball soup set before them.
As for the cold wild vegetables and the scrambled eggs, they didn’t pay much attention.
"Everyone, let’s eat. There’s nothing more important than filling our stomachs."
Once the old man spoke, everyone picked up their chopsticks and started eating.
The most popular dish was undoubtedly the braised venison, luckily, Gu Jin had made a large portion of it.
Seeing everyone taste the dish first, she picked a piece of perfectly marbled meat for the little one sitting beside her.
She also tore a piece of soft flatbread and handed it to him, "Try it and see if it’s good."
Seeing everyone eat so heartily, An Mingji couldn’t hold back. He picked up the braised meat from his bowl and eagerly put it into his mouth.
The fragrant meat melted in his mouth with an incredibly tender texture, making him want to swallow his tongue.
Gu Jiajie, Liu Pingyuan, Wu Zhiren, and Gu Minmin couldn’t stop eating, and even the old man and Gu Decang were the same.
The only one showing any outside emotion was the aunt, who was sitting at the table eating the fragrant braised venison while showing a pained expression.
Looking at the stack of white flour flatbreads, the bowl of braised meat, the dish of scrambled eggs, and the pork meatball soup with floating oil flowers, Chen Hong felt like her heart was bleeding.
It hurts so much!
Her food!
These precious ingredients, how could Gu Jin bear to part with them.
She looked up at Wu Zhiren and Liu Pingyuan, who had already finished one flatbread and were halfway through their second one.
Seeing this, Chen Hong felt even more distressed.
Gu Jin noticed her aunt’s pained expression but said nothing, pretending not to notice.
"Delicious, really delicious! Xiao Jin, you’re so good at cooking, you could open a restaurant and business would definitely be great!"
Wu Zhiren praised Gu Jin’s cooking skills while eating.
"Yes! This cooking is incredible! I wish I could eat it for a lifetime!"
Liu Pingyuan voiced his genuine thoughts.
This comment didn’t sit well with Gu Jiajie.
His mouth was stuffed with meat and flatbread, and before swallowing, he looked up and glared at Liu Pingyuan, his defensive stare as if he were looking at an enemy.
