Chapter 296: Tragic Life After Marriage (5)

The weather was turning warmer and her paternal grandparents and father had asked her to go back to the village to dig for wild vegetables. At first, they wanted her to stay at her maternal grandmother’s place and dig for a few days before going back. She could even eat at her grandmother’s house and save food. The best was if she could bring some food back.
But not only had she not received a mouthful of rice, she had not even been able to keep the wild vegetables she had dug up. Her maternal grandmother had taken them all.
After that, her paternal grandparents and father refused to allow her to go to her maternal grandmother’s house. They made her rise early to dig wild vegetables in the village and bring them back to town after dark…
During this time, her life was like hell on earth as compared to her previous existence. This was completely unlike her dream of what a young city girl’s life was like!
Up until the present, Gu Ruoqing had not figured out how she had fallen into these straits?
Gu Ruoqing remained silent, but Chen Honghua continued to smile and say fawningly, “Qing Qing, you seldom come back to play after you left for the city. I haven’t seen you for a long time. I’ve missed you very much!
“We’re good friends. Why don’t you stay for the afternoon! Come to my home for lunch! We can have a good chat!”
Gu Ruoqing’s hand paused. Have lunch?
“Alright, I’ll come out and play today. I’ll go back at night!”
Chen Honghua was delighted.
Gu Qingyao: “…”
She did not want to bother with these things now. She really looked forward to what would happen when Zhang Xiaohui’s pregnancy was discovered.
One must know that in her previous life, Zhang Xiaohui and Wang Guozhu had married normally before having a child. At that time, Zhou Hong had despised Wang Guozhu and found a richer man, so she had abandoned Wang Guozhu.
Wang Guozhu was not together with Zhang Xiaohui then, so he was reluctant to let go of Zhou Hong. In order to get rid of Wang Guozhu, Zhou Hong had given him many favors.
So in her previous life, Zhang Xiaohui had lived fairly well after marrying Wang Guozhu. Later on, the era of freedom arrived and Wang Guozhu made a small fortune, so Zhang Xiaohui’s life improved even further.
But later on…
After the Gu family’s situation stabilized, her father had dealt with the mother-daughter duo.
In this life, matters had changed drastically. Gu Qingyao was looking forward to seeing Zhang Xiaohui’s tragic future.
Gu Qingyao returned home in the afternoon in a good mood and began to make lunch.
Gu Yunshen had gone out to pick medicinal herbs and her younger aunt, Gu Yunshuang, was helping her grandparents with their work. Then she carried her basket off to dig for wild vegetables.
Only Gu Qingyao remained at home to take care of the children.
The children were all very obedient. When they returned, they washed the wild vegetables by the well.
Even Little Nine, who was the youngest, mimicked his older siblings and cousins as they worked… no, in fact, the two from the Mo family were nephews!
Gu Qingyao made chive dumplings for lunch.
She chopped up the tender chives and added some eggs. She used plenty of seasoning and oil, and when she had finished marinating everything, she went to prepare the noodles.
In these times, fine white noodles were a little too extravagant, so she added some rye noodles so that it would not be so ostentatious.
These dumplings were easy to make and Gu Qingyao made many in a short time. Gu Fangting lit the fire and when the first batch was cooked, Gu Qingyao immediately got Mo Chengrui to send a few to Jiang Yingqiu in the Southern Lake Brigade, so she could have them for lunch.
Mo Chengrui and Mo Chengxu enjoyed playing at her house. There were more children here and they would play together and study together.
Gu Qingyao selected a handful of tender wild vegetables and added eggs to make egg drop soup. Lunch would be chive dumplings and egg drop soup.
Gu Qingyao seasoned her food generously and used plenty of oil. So she could make the same ingredients taste much better than others.
