Chapter 1271: In the Noodle Shop, Each With Their Own Thoughts

"Yeah, I don’t want to judge too hastily, but it doesn’t seem like this family is all that kind either..."

Gu Qiaoqiao said dismissively.

Qin Yize nodded slightly.

Then, they stopped discussing the topic.

Being a smart person, he naturally wouldn’t give Zao Hua the chance to forge a connection.

Even if he had questions, he could go back and call Lu Hao to ask.

However, Qin Yize’s brow furrowed slightly, and his expression showed he was deep in thought. He had a good impression of Lu Hao, who had represented the Special Preparation Team at last year’s North Military Region competition, where Lu Hao was both a literary and martial arts champion.

His skills and physical fitness were outstanding, and most importantly, he was honest, selfless, straightforward, and resilient, with strong leadership abilities.

It is said that he is also one of the young cadres being specifically cultivated by the North Military Region.

Unexpectedly, his family...

A soldier’s family seeking refuge with Lu Hao is not strictly considered following the army, but it is understandable.

However, abandoning the land at home and doing nothing here, relying only on the subsidy that Zao Hua mentioned, seems unreasonable.

He didn’t know if Lu Hao had other family members; is this his only mother?

However, judging from Zao Hua’s words earlier, Lu Hao’s mother is definitely not a magnanimous one.

And most importantly, it’s Lu Hao’s attitude that matters.

If he doesn’t have strict boundaries when dealing with family issues and blindly shows filial piety, it won’t be beneficial for his growth.

So, this matter still depends on what Lu Hao has to say.

At this moment, Zao Hua stopped talking to Xiao Wen and stood in the room without going to the kitchen to help. She wasn’t young anymore and didn’t dare to have any ideas about these handsome young men, but she occasionally glanced at them.

Such figures are not something you see every day.

Compared to those rough long-distance drivers, they were not in the same league.

An Xiaotong, after all, had a job in the hospitality industry and interacted with many people. Being the manager of Lijing Ho, her eye for people was naturally different from that of Shang Qing and the others. She whispered to Gu Qiaoqiao, "Zao Hua has no sense of business and not a hint of the correct concept of customer service. I think this beef noodle shop won’t last half a year before it goes under."

Gu Qiaoqiao glanced at An Xiaotong and said slowly, "But I feel Sister Li is a very gentle person."

An Xiaotong glanced at Li Gufen, shaking her head slightly, "Qiaoqiao, you can’t judge people by appearances. The calmer a person seems, the more explosive they become when their internal grievances reach a tipping point."

"Are you saying they will have a physical fight?"

"If they just fought, that would be simple," An Xiaotong said blandly.

Gu Qiaoqiao whispered, "Sister Xiaotong, I think if Sister Li stays like this, everything might remain peaceful. Isn’t it said that taking a step back makes the sea and sky wide?"

Gu Qiaoqiao thought about it. Judging by Sister Li’s age, she must have been married into the Lu family for at least twenty years, yet she always tolerated everything, even a distant cousin bossing her around arrogantly. This showed how meek Sister Li’s personality was.

Then, Gu Qiaoqiao realized something was wrong. In her dream, she seemed not to see any children. Could it be that Sister Li and Lu Hao’s elder brother had no children?

Because there were no children, she swallowed her grievances.

Because there were no children, this distant cousin had the opportunity to rise in the household.

Perhaps this distant cousin became pregnant, making Sister Li redundant in the Lu family, so she was kicked out.

Is that right?

Maybe she’s correct.

At this time, An Xiaotong calmly said, "The conflict between Sister Li and Zao Hua is not visible now, but it will become more apparent as time goes on. One source is from the family, and another from the business. It’s a pity for Sister Li’s culinary skills."

Gu Qiaoqiao glanced at Sister Li busy in the kitchen, feeling indescribably complex.

She had a good impression of her, yet felt that someone like her was also terrifying.

Actually, Sister Li had many ways to solve the problems, but she chose the most extreme one.

Perish together!

At the same time, Gu Qiaoqiao thought there’s wisdom in saying that it’s easy to talk when you’re not on the spot. Those who haven’t experienced it can never fully understand all the feelings of the person involved.

Twenty years, who knows what kind of life Sister Li led!

After the grievances explode, perhaps all sanity is lost.

Moreover, what’s most important now is finding a way to prevent that scene from happening.

Having interacted with Lu Hao over these days gave Gu Qiaoqiao a very good impression of him. A young man like him should have a bright future.

Besides, Mu Xinxin has a special affection for him.

Gu Qiaoqiao didn’t worry that Lu Hao’s family would bully Mu Xinxin in the future. After all, this was a materialistic family, and the Mu household was not ordinary. Lu Hao’s family wouldn’t dare treat Mu Xinxin like they did Sister Li.

However, it wouldn’t necessarily be a smooth relationship either.

So, what kind of approach should be taken to make this family understand what to do and not do?

That seems a bit difficult.

Until now, Gu Qiaoqiao had only met Zao Hua and Sister Li from this family.

Fortunately, there’s still a year before that scene occurs.

Take it slow. Besides, she will definitely come back to Qiaoze Ranch, and she’ll pass by here again. Within this year, Lu Hao won’t leave the grasslands, so many things might have a perfect solution.

While Gu Qiaoqiao was overthinking, the nimble Sister Li had already put the freshly rolled noodles into the pot, boiled them, then scooped them out, and poured rich bone broth over them, added pre-sliced sauce beef, sprinkled with spring onions and cilantro. The aroma was irresistible.

Chu Chengfeng and Xiao Wen, when they arrived, didn’t stop in the town because they were eager to go to the ranch, so they had a simple meal of bread in the car to satiate their hunger.

After all, Qiaoze Ranch was incredibly attractive to them.

So Xiao Wen and others never expected that the noodles in this small noodle shop would be so delicious.

Indeed, there’s always someone better, and the sky’s the limit!

Moreover, since ancient times, food has been the main concern of the people. People have always had a deep admiration for those who could create delicious food.

Even if the person is just a cook.

So, everyone was very satisfied with the beef noodles.

Gu Qiaoqiao didn’t deliberately make things difficult for Zao Hua since they were just a group of passersby.
