Chapter 208: The Brothers Are All Back To Pay A Visit (9)

“Mother, give… give her share to her!” The eldest Li son could not keep quiet any longer.
“No way. My family has no food. Not a speck!”
Old Madam Li clamored.
Gu Yunjing just sat there without a word.
Li Aiguo was furious. This was the first time that someone was challenging his dignity, and it was the Li family, whom he had always helped. This made him extremely displeased.
He stood up and insisted that the Li family follow him. The Li family was frightened, and hurriedly followed Li Aiguo.
Li Aiguo went straight to the Li House and told the family to bring the food out.
He did not really care about the Li family. Ultimately, his dignity was the most important to him. No one was allowed to go against him.
The food that the Li family finally brought out was only some coarse grain and there was only about a hundred kilograms of it. Old Madam Li rolled about on the ground, howling and wailing that Gu Yunshuang had already eaten her share and there was no more food in the house.
Li Aiguo did not care. He did not really want to arbitrate for Gu Yunshuang. He just wanted to rap the Li family on its knuckles.
“Listen up, all of you. I am only asking you to do the right thing. If you dare to disobey, you will see how I deal with you. Hmph!”
Gu Yunjing glanced at the hundred over kilograms of grain. He knew that there was far more, but he did not say anything. He exchanged some pleasantries and complimented Li Aiguo, then pushed Gu Yunshuang home.
The entire affair had gone smoothly!
So smoothly that everyone in the Poplar Brigade felt rather dazed!
Gu Yunshuang remained silent all the way home. She only asked for the divorce certificate and the certificate stating that Li Fangting had broken off ties with them. Then she solemnly and carefully put them away.
When they saw her expression, all of them fell silent.
After reaching the Gu House, Gu Yunshuang returned to her room to lie down because she was still unwell. Li Fangting kept her company.
At the moment, Gu Qingyao was cooking in the kitchen.
When she saw that everyone was back, she glanced at her older cousins. Her three older cousins nodded at her to signal that everything had gone smoothly.
Gu Jinye moved the hundred over kilograms of food into the kitchen.
Gu Qingyao was delighted that everything had gone so smoothly. She was so happy that she cooked another two dishes.
The fragrance from the kitchen had attracted the younger ones, and they were almost drooling.
A two-tier steamer was set on top of a large pot. The bottom tier held sorghum bread while the top tier held the food that was already cooked.
There was lots of meat. They had all seen it!
Wow! It smelled so good!
“Elder Sister, can we eat yet?”
The younger ones could not stand the allure of meat. They all gazed at it as they drooled.
Eldest Aunt, Fang Ling and Third Aunt, Zhou Ping could not help but laugh at the sight of these children. But Gu Qingyao’s extravagance shocked them. How did they get so much food?
But when they saw that their mother-in-law, Wen Ruyu, did not say anything, they also kept quiet.
Gu Qingyao looked at the four youngsters and said with a smile, “We’ll eat soon. Hurry up and wash your hands, then ask your older brothers to set the table in the main room. The food is almost ready.”
“Oh oh oh, Older Brother, set the table. It’s time to eat!”
The children cheered as they rushed towards the main room, shouting as they ran.
Gu Qingyao fried another dish of pickled beans and a dish of stir-fried mushrooms before she stopped.
They had set the table in the main room and Gu Jinye, Gu Jinfeng and Gu Jinlin brought the food in. The first dish was braised pork.
There were many men at home today. They would certainly enjoy this dish.
The large platter was piled high with braised pork. It had been made with sugar and wine and was deep red, fragrant and tender. When Gu Jinye took it and saw the large platter of braised pork, he was shocked.
While he was still standing there, stunned, the second dish arrived. It was a glistening dish of braised fish. The fish was very fat and wild mushrooms had been added to the dish.
