Chapter 416 This Second Aunt Is Not Simple

"Old sister-in-law, don't be sad. Although Dashu Niang has a bad temper, she is very filial. She will send you delicious food and make you wear nice clothes. We can still live for a few more years when we are old, and we only need food and drink for our children."

"If we talk about who enjoys happiness in our clan, it's you who enjoys the most happiness. When the eldest son was alive, he treated you without hesitation, and the second son took you to the south to enjoy happiness. Now you have a bunch of grandchildren, great-grandchildren, and great-grandchildren. I think all of them are good. And you have two grandsons who are so good at studying. Sooner or later, they will earn you a royal title."

Mrs. Gu's sisters-in-law comforted her.

Old Mrs. Gu stopped crying, and she knew that there was no point in crying any further.

Then the sister-in-law changed the subject and said to Jia: "Daughter-in-law You Tian, ​​logically I, as your aunt, shouldn't say that. Your Rui Nian is a promising young man in the whole clan, but I see that he sometimes only cares about himself. For example, last time I gave you a basket of eggs, he cooked them and ate them by himself, and his nephew Yao Jia looked at him eagerly and was reluctant to give him a bite. They say that you should watch your children grow up. If you don't correct him now, when he becomes an official in the future, he will have achievements while he eats them and his followers watch him. Who will follow him in the future?"

Tong Huaqiong couldn't help but take a look at this second aunt.

She usually had a weak relationship with the clan members. She only knew that her second aunt was serious and cold to her. Apart from sending Gu Jingzhe to give some gifts to her second uncle and aunt during the New Year, she basically had no contact with them.

A country woman could say such a thing.

This second aunt is not simple.

Tong Huaqiong could not find any memory of this second aunt in Tong Dajiao's memory. It was estimated that in the previous life, the second aunt looked down on Tong Dajiao and had no contact with her, so there was no memory of her.

This second aunt was quite prestigious in the clan, and Jia, who had been in a fighting posture, immediately stopped.

Soon, the food arrived.

Fortunately, according to the customs of Yanguan Town, one does not need to be a vegetarian on the anniversary of the death, but only needs to abstain from alcohol.

Tong Huaqiong picked up a piece of braised pork ribs and put it on the plate in front of Second Aunt and said, "Second Aunt, please try the way my pork ribs are cooked."

The second aunt took a bite of the ribs and praised them highly.

"Grandma, please try one too." Tong Huaqiong picked up a piece of pork ribs and handed it to Grandma Gu's bowl.

Old Mrs. Gu snorted, but didn't hesitate to start eating.

Tong Huaqiong would not let anyone down, and prepared a sumptuous meal for today.

Besides, they were all relatives and good friends, and there were only three tables in total. Even if they were full of fish and meat, it wouldn't cost much.

The chef invited is from Fengle Building. The fresh and pollution-free meat and vegetables, coupled with the chef’s cooking skills, make every dish mouth-watering.

Gu Honglian sat next to Old Lady Gu, picking up the dishes with her chopsticks without caring about anything. She first turned over the chicken, found the tenderest chicken leg and put it on the plate in front of her, then turned over the ribs and found the one with the most meat and put it in front of her, and then turned over the mutton and picked up a few of the fattest and tenderest pieces, causing everyone at the table to shake their heads secretly.

"Honglian, if you pick the vegetables like this, how are the others going to eat?"

When Gu Honglian was about to point her chopsticks at the braised fish, Second Aunt started to speak without Tong Huaqiong saying anything.

Gu Honglian stuffed her mouth with meat and said incoherently, "I didn't stop you from eating."

Second Aunt put down her chopsticks and said to Old Lady Gu with a stern face, "Old sister-in-law, Honglian is fifteen this year, right? Look at her eating, she is not as good as Man'er, Xiaolong, Yaozu and other children. She just puts the best and tenderest food into her own bowl. I can't control how you spoil her at home, but I have to say something when she does this under my nose."

"You also said that Pan Di's divorce affected the marriage of the girls from the Gu family. I think Hong Lian's behavior is really lowering the reputation of the girls from the Gu family. Fortunately, this happened at her eldest sister-in-law's house. If we were having a banquet outside, people would see Hong Lian's superficial look and would not say anything about her. They would only say something about the girls from the Gu family."

Gu Honglian was quite afraid of her second aunt, so she lowered her head and dared not talk back.

Old Lady Gu defended Gu Honglian, saying, "Why is my Honglian like this? It's because she doesn't eat well after returning to Qinghewan. She used to eat meat every meal in the south, but she wasn't like this."

This is another attempt to accuse Tong Huaqiong of being unfilial.

Second Aunt sneered, "Who in our village eats meat every day? I've never seen any girl eat like this when eating out. For example, Xiaoxue also eats meat every meal in the south, and she didn't eat meat like Honglian when she arrived in Qinghe Bay. Don't make excuses for her, you've spoiled her."

Old Lady Gu and Second Aunt's sister-in-law had always been at odds with each other. She said angrily, "None of your business is my Honglian's. All this meat can't stop your mouth."

The second aunt said, "You think I want to control it."

Then he said to Gu Honglian, "Honglian, you can't eat like this, whether at home or outside. Second Aunt's words are unpleasant to hear, but they are for your own good. If you think Second Aunt's words are wrong, just treat me as a fart. But today you can't pick up the food in front of me. There are so many people at the table who don't want to eat your saliva. When you get home, you can pick up the food however you want and I won't care."

Gu Honglian didn't dare to continue picking up the vegetables after what her second aunt said.

All the women in the room felt relieved by Second Aunt's words.

Such a wonderful meal cannot be ruined by Gu Honglian's saliva.

She enjoyed the meal, but how could others pick up their chopsticks?

"Second Aunt, try this fish. I bought it from the reservoir early in the morning on Dahan Day. It's very fresh."

If you keep arguing, you won't be able to eat.

Tong Huaqiong picked up the tenderest meat from the fish's belly and handed it to her second aunt, not forgetting to pick up another pair of clean chopsticks.

Second Aunt's expression softened slightly.

Soon everyone finished their meal and cleared away the leftovers.

Tong Huaqiong noticed the look of pity on the faces of her sisters-in-law and aunts in the clan, and couldn't help but smile.

In an era of relative scarcity of material resources, villagers would collect the leftovers from banquets into several large buckets after a banquet, then take them home in pots and pans, heat them up with vegetables from the fields, and continue to eat for two meals.

After all, what everyone cares about is oil and water, not hygiene.

Tong Huaqiong had already thought of this and would definitely not let everyone go back empty-handed.

So Gu Taohua, Liu Yue'e and Tong Pandi had already prepared a big pot of steamed buns, pork belly and fried oil, which wouldn't cost much anyway.

These meals are the necessary food for the hired workers in the pig farm and the fields.

Everyone was very happy when they saw that Tong Huaqiong had prepared steamed buns and vegetables for everyone to take back.

Except for Old Lady Gu's second aunt Gu Honglian, Jia and Wei, as well as several older aunts and grandmothers in the clan, all other peers and younger generations went back after finishing their meal and saying hello to Tong Huaqiong.

Many men in the tribe stayed behind.

Tong Huaqiong raised her eyelids and realized that Grandpa Gu and the clan leader were trying to take advantage of the opportunity to make trouble for her with the clan members.
