Stepmother dressed as five villains

Chapter 45

Qiao swore again and again that she didn't really want to follow over to eavesdrop or something.

It was her family's scheming girl who got more and more wrong the more she thought about it, took her hand that was frying peanuts, and ran to Gu's house.

It turned out to be a good show.

It's just a pity the result.

Qiao Lianlian looked at Gu Shao with a half-smile, and after a while, he looked away and smiled casually.

"Father, mother and I are calling you for dinner." The clever ghost Gu Que poked his head out from behind her, with a smile on his face.

It's not that she is so big that she doesn't remember her father's grudge.

It was mother who said that father was a bit silly and couldn't see through the face of the Gu family.

She had to find a way to make dad understand how bad the Gu family he thought were good people were actually.

You can't share your identity with your father and push him to the Gu family for nothing.

"Hey, okay, let's eat." Gu Shao touched his nose in embarrassment.

He was a little uncertain about the meaning of the smile on Qiao Lianlian's face, and he was even more afraid of offending this Joe, who seemed very difficult to provoke.

So, on the way home, Gu Shao softened his tone and explained in a low voice, "Mum, they don't count what they say, so don't take it to heart."

Qiao Lian glanced at him again and again, and responded coldly, "Yes."

Gu Shao's heart became more and more uncertain.

After returning to the old house, Qiao Lianlian got into the kitchen and got busy.

A few children sat around the small table and chattered, nothing more than talking about how disgusting Gu Zhuangzhuang was for grabbing food today, how delicious the food Qiao Lianlian cooked, and so on.

As a father, Gu Shao inevitably picked up Xiao Ge'er and listened to the children talking there.

Gu Que looked resentful, "Why did he rob us of our food? He didn't give me any of his own food. Obviously, my brother and I were hungry and uncomfortable, and we hadn't eaten anything for several days. He was still with us. He ate food in front of him, and he was full with the last bite, and he would rather throw it away than give it to us."

"Yes, he even snatched my food, and when he got it he found it was not tasty, so he threw it away, and I didn't have a bite of food for two days." Gu Lou also clenched his fists, "Today is because my legs are inconvenient. Otherwise, I will definitely beat him."

"Yes, beat him up." Even Xiao Ge'er clenched his fists.

Only then did Gu Shao realize that there are so many episodes in it.

His heart tightened again and again, and in the end it shrank into a lump.

Don't suffer from others, don't persuade others to be kind.

He suddenly regretted that at the beginning, he criticized Gu Que because he felt that his behavior was not good enough for everyone. As a result, he fueled Gu Zhuangzhuang's arrogance and caused his child to be bullied.

At this time, Gu Que said again, "Fortunately, I have my mother here. I don't know how tired I am to work so hard to make money for this family. If only I were older, I would be able to share the burden for my mother."

"I can do it now." Gu Cheng looked serious, "I heard people say that if you have a good handwriting, you can copy books for others, and I can also make money for my mother in the future."

"Then when I learn how to write, I will also make money by copying for my mother." The shy Gu Zhong said bluntly.

The more Gu Shao listened, the more uncomfortable he became, so he put down Gu Ge and walked into the yard.

Qiao Lian didn't know what he was busy with. The hot and sour smell came from the kitchen, which made him twitch his index finger.

After thinking about it, Gu Shao walked in with his hands behind his back.

Inside the house, several children stopped their voices at the same time, and stared at his father's back at the window with thug faces.

"Que'er, what's the matter with you today, you suddenly stopped quarreling with dad, and you're still talking about the past?" Gu Cheng stared at his sister.

"When I went to Gu's house, my mother told me that our father is called a straight man, and it's no good to fight against him. You have to turn a corner and wake him up." Gu Que's voice showed a hint of complacency.

Is it really just that?
Gu Cheng's face was unpredictable, and he didn't reveal his sister's narrow-mindedness.

Of the five children, except for the youngest, Xiao Ge'er, the other four were all lying on the window, staring at the kitchen.

Qiao Lianlian didn't know what he was busy with, a sour and spicy smell wafted from the kitchen.

Not to mention a few children, even Gu Shao's index finger twitched when he was hooked.

"You... what did you do?" He hesitated for a moment before making a sound.

Qiao Lian didn't even look back, "Since you're here, why don't you just take it."

"Hey." Gu Shao responded, stretched out his big palms, one in each hand, and brought all the bowls into the inner room.

Qiao Lian walked in with the last bowl and seven pairs of chopsticks.

"Dinner." She announced solemnly.

The whole family immediately picked up their chopsticks, sat in their seats, and started eating.

Today's meal is Xiao Ge'er's favorite.

Soak sweet potato vermicelli in cold water first, then put it into boiling water when ready to eat, add some Chinese cabbage, boil the bean sprouts together and remove.

Hang some fresh vermicelli in the broth, add some chopped pickles, crushed peanuts, and finally add the cooked vermicelli.

Because there are children, the last chili and vinegar Joe are more appropriate.

But in this era of light diet, it is already exciting enough.

Among the seven members of the family, except for Qiao Lianlian who was extremely calm and even wanted to add some chili, the cheeks of the other members were flushed, their foreheads were sweating, and their noses were about to fly out.

"Mother, this is too aggressive." Gu Lou stuck out his tongue while eating, "But it's delicious, I want to eat again, mother, is there any more?"

Qiao repeatedly pursed his lips and smiled, "Yes, that's enough."

Gu Lou yelled twice, and ate happily.

That night, except for Gu Ge and Gu Zhong, who had small appetites, almost everyone ate two bowls.

Especially Gu Lou, if it wasn't for Qiao's repeated persuasion, he would have eaten the third bowl.

"Mother, it's so delicious, I'm sweaty and warm after eating it." Even Gu Cheng couldn't help but praise him for his calm temper.

Qiao Lianlian felt an inexplicable sense of pride.

She rubbed her eldest son's head, "Go to bed early, and send you to school tomorrow."

"Yeah." Gu Cheng nodded.

An hour after the meal, the children almost all rested.

Qiao Lianlian is washing and drying the materials to be used tomorrow in order to reduce the drying time tomorrow.

Gu Shao didn't know when he appeared behind her.

The man hesitated, and his brows were slightly furrowed, as if he didn't know what to say.

Joe ignored him again and again, still busy with himself.

She has worked very hard. A lot of dry goods need to be washed, sorted, dried, and ground into powder tomorrow.

Ordinary peasant women also have to work, but most of them have three-year-old and five-year-old children, and they can't eat more than men for a meal.

But Qiao Lianlian, even though her family is rich and eats meat, her limbs are still slender, her body has no flesh, and she is as fragile as a piece of rice paper that will be broken at any time.

Gu Shao's heart softened a little.

"Don't do it, be careful not to damage your eyes, the children will definitely feel distressed." He said softly.

Qiao nodded again and again, but did not speak.

Gu Shao touched the soft ash on his nose.

He touched his nose, took out five ingots of silver from his sleeve pocket, and placed them gently beside Qiao Lianlian.

Then, without saying a word, he left the kitchen.
