Chapter 59 Thanks
Gu Dashu wanted to ask a doctor to check on Lu Zhaoyang, but was stopped by Tong Huaqiong.
Judging from Lu Zhaoyang's physical condition, he is naturally weak after being bedridden for a long time. The doctor can't find the cause of his illness and it cannot be cured by taking medicine.
What he should do is not touch any wheat flour products, exercise more, and eat more meat to supplement nutrition.
Inappropriate treatment will only make the disease worse.
After settling Lu Zhaoyang, Tong Huaqiong went to the kitchen.
Chen Sufen and Gu Dahan reunited after a long separation, and the family of three talked in the house.
Liu Yue'e took on the responsibility of cooking. Usually, Chen Sufen was in charge of cooking. It was only these days that Liu Yue'e started to go into the kitchen and help out with cooking under the pressure of Tong Huaqiong.
At this time, she was busy in the kitchen, cutting cabbage and washing rice, and had no idea how to arrange dinner.
Seeing Tong Huaqiong walk into the kitchen, he felt like he had found a savior and asked, "Mom, where is my sister-in-law? How should we arrange dinner?"
Tong Huaqiong rolled her eyes at Liu Yue'e and scolded her, "You are usually so lazy that you don't even bother to move when you go into other people's homes to chat. If you used your time chatting at home, you wouldn't be unable to even prepare meals. I make money every day, and when I get home I have to take care of the kitchen?"
"Are you missing a hand or a foot, or a brain? Don't you know that you should learn from your sister-in-law? From tomorrow on, you will be in charge of the kitchen at home, and your sister-in-law will only be responsible for making cakes."
Liu Yue'e shrank her neck and dared not move because of the scolding.
"Take out the mutton, tofu, and fish I bought, as well as the braised chicken and two plates of vegetarian dishes. For the staple food, have rice porridge. Cook it thicker and don't use flour to thicken the porridge. Then don't serve the pancakes on the table."
While scolding Liu Yue'e, Tong Huaqiong arranged dinner and specifically emphasized that no pasta should be served.
"Dashu, you better come out and cook with your wife. What are you doing staying indoors?"
Gu Dashu was taking care of Lu Zhaoyang. He thought that Lu Zhaoyang was a rich man after all, so it would be right for him to get close to him.
Tong Huaqiong scolded Gu Dashu and kicked him out.
During the Dashu period, people go to wash mutton, vegetables and fish.
"Aunt Tong is so fierce." Lu Zhaozhao said to Gu Taohua.
"This is still considered good. My mother would still beat people with a stick." Gu Taohua said she was used to it.
"It's full of life. I envy the atmosphere in your home." Lu Zhaozhao said.
Gu Taohua looked at Lu Zhaozhao with longing on her face and thought that Lu Zhaozhao must be mentally ill to envy the Gu family's life.
"There's nothing to envy about our life." Gu Taohua shrugged.
What's so good about the Gu family's life? They can't wear more than two sets of nice clothes all year round, and the whole family is in chaos when their mother gets angry. Now they have to drag the whole family to work hard to make money.
It was obvious that the Lu family lived a wealthy and prosperous life. If one of the beads on Lu Zhaozhao's head was removed, it would probably be enough to support the Gu family for a year.
She really didn't understand why Lu Zhaozhao would envy the Gu family.
If she exchanged lives with Gu Taohua, she would definitely go to the Lu family without looking back.
"I envy you for having a mother."
Lu Zhaozhao's eyes were red. She lost her parents when she was still a baby.
Gu Taohua asked, "Don't you have a mother?"
Lu Zhaozhao shook his head and whispered, "I have no father and no mother."
Gu Taohua said with sympathy: "Then I am better than you. I don't have a father but I have a mother."
Lu Zhaozhao: “…”
Gu Taohua comforted Lu Zhaozhao and said, "You are not the worst off. At least you are living a good life. The worst off are people like my elder brother and elder sister, who have a father and a stepmother. Life is miserable when you have a stepmother. You didn't see how my mother treated my elder brother and elder sister..."
Lu Zhaozhao: “…”
Is Gu Taohua trying to comfort people?
Tong Huaqiong came out of the kitchen and heard this, thinking that Gu Taohua was such a fool, she had exposed all her secrets.
Chen Sufen exchanged a few words with Gu Dahan in the room. When she heard Tong Huaqiong scolding Liu Yue'e, she hurried out.
There are guests at home tonight, and they are Gu Dahan's host. Liu Yue'e is not very good at taking care of things in the kitchen, so she can't let her mother-in-law and sister-in-law take care of it. Her mother-in-law and sister-in-law are tired after working all day to make money.
"Sister-in-law, let me cook." Chen Sufen came to the kitchen and took the kitchen knife from Liu Yue'e and said.
"Sufen, just spoil her. We have guests at home today and I can't say anything. I've just said that from tomorrow on, Yue'e will be in charge of the kitchen." Tong Huaqiong said to Chen Sufen.
Chen Sufen smiled and said, "Isn't it still not tomorrow?"
As they were talking, someone outside shouted "Aunt Tong".
The next two people came in, Liu Qiaoyun and her husband Qin Qingyou.
Qin Qingyou was carrying two bags of noodles and Liu Qiaoyun was carrying a basket of eggs.
"Aunt, Taohua, I brought your flour." Liu Qiaoyun said, and pointed to the basket in her hand and said to Tong Huaqiong, "My mother-in-law asked me to bring this. She said it's for Taohua's supplements."
Tong Huaqiong's mouth twitched. Why should Taohua's body be nourished? If she continued to nourish it, she would become like a stone pillar.
But she also knew that the egg was a thank-you gift from Mrs. Qin.
Mrs. Qin is very generous. She gave me such a basket of eggs.
This also indirectly shows that Granny Qin is very good to her daughter-in-law. Not to mention this era, even in her previous life, some mothers-in-law would condemn their daughter-in-law as soon as they learned that she was harassed.
Tong Huaqiong developed some affection for Mrs. Qin.
Since the eggs were a thank you to her, she did not refuse. It happened that she needed a lot of eggs to make pastries.
Qin Qingyou delivered two bags of flour and eggs to the kitchen. When he came out of the kitchen, he wanted to kowtow to Tong Huaqiong.
"Aunt Tong, Qiao Yun has told us everything that happened today. Thank you and Sister Taohua." Qin Qingyou said with red eyes.
"Don't be polite. Xu the bastard is the scourge of our village. Anyone who encounters such a thing would want to smash his dog brains." Tong Huaqiong said.
This is not enough. Sooner or later, Xu Si will fall into her hands.
Qin Qingyou looked at Tong Huaqiong with gratitude.
Everyone in the village said that Aunt Tong was overbearing and unreasonable. In order to avoid unnecessary trouble, she hardly had any contact with the Gu family.
This was his first time stepping into the Gu family.
Through what happened to his wife today, he discovered that Aunt Tong has a bad temper but a good heart. It is obvious that his previous perception of Aunt Tong was wrong.
"It's also because I'm too weak. I should go to the Xu family and make some trouble..." Qin Qingyou looked angry, and then sighed helplessly, "But I'm the only one in my family, I can't help but think about it."
Tong Huaqiong expressed his understanding of Qin Qingyou's concerns and gritted his teeth and said, "Just wait and see. Xu Si, that bastard, will get his comeuppance sooner or later."
Especially in this era, the countryside is a barbaric place where the strong fists are important.
The one who has the most sons can make the fist stronger. Xu Si's family has four brothers who are as fierce as wolves and tigers, while the Qin family has only one son, Qin Qingyou.
Two hands are no match for four punches, so even if his wife is harassed, he can only endure it.
But this beast Xu Si had to be gotten rid of sooner or later. Tong Huaqiong thought about how he deliberately bumped into Chen Sufen's butt that day, and who knew what else he could do in the future.
What happened today has already made the Xu family enemies. Given Yan Po's personality, she will definitely not swallow this humiliation.
Sooner or later, she and the Xu family will have a fierce battle.
Tong Huaqiong must get rid of Xu Si.
Qin Qingyou and Liu Qiaoyun talked for a while and then said goodbye and left.
"Do you have any eggs left at home? If you have any extra eggs, please sell them to me. I'll take as many as you can." Tong Huaqiong said to Qin Qingyou and Liu Qiaoyun.
Pastries require a lot of eggs, and Tong Huaqiong plans to purchase them from the village.
Let’s start with the Qin family.
Qin Qingyou still couldn't figure out Tong Huaqiong's intention, but Liu Qiaoyun knew it clearly and said with a look of surprise, "Yes, yes, I have more than a dozen hens at home. I will send all the eggs to Aunt Tong in the future."
Tong Huaqiong nodded and said, "I won't let you lose money, I'll just pay you according to the market price."
Liu Qiaoyun was even happier because she no longer had to go to town to sell eggs.
After what happened with Xu Si, she no longer planned to work in the embroidery workshop in town, but what worried her was that the eggs produced at home still had to be sold in town.
My mother-in-law couldn't travel long distances because of her bound feet, and since her husband was busy working in the fields, it was her turn to sell eggs.
Aunt Tong collected eggs from her family, which was really great.
Qin Qingyou reacted and said to Tong Huaqiong before leaving: "I saw that the wheat field at the foot of Aunt Tong's mountain needed watering today. I will water the fields tomorrow and water them while I'm there."
Without waiting for Tong Huaqiong to refuse, he pulled Liu Qiaoyun away from Gu's house.
