"Why? Iām your mother, canāt I come back?" Old Mrs. Gu got upset as soon as she heard Gu Chunhaiās words, "This is my home, why canāt I come back?"
When someone is shameless, they are truly invincible.
Gu Lingling, carrying the meat she had just received, smiled slightly.
Old Mrs. Gu chose to come back today for sure because it was the day when the meat was distributed.
You have to understand, itās not easy to buy meat in the city, especially since Old Mrs. Gu and their household registration are still in Nanshui Village.
"So much meat was distributed this year." Sure enough, Old Mrs. Guās eyes lit up when she saw the meat in Gu Linglingās hands, eager to grab it right away.
As she spoke, her hand reached over.
Gu Lingling glanced lightly at the greedy Old Mrs. Gu and skillfully dodged her grasping claws, "Grandpa, Dad, Iāll head inside first."
"Whatās with your attitude? No manners at all, Iām your grandma. You brat, canāt even greet someone." Old Mrs. Gu said angrily.
"Mom, Lingling just greeted you, itās you who didnāt respond." Gu Chunhai said.
"Push Grandpa inside." Old Sir Gu said, "Chunhai, once youāre done talking, close the door carefully so a dog doesnāt run in and steal the meat."
Old Mrs. Gu, "..."
Who was that ādogā referring to?
"Old man, how can you be like this..." Old Mrs. Gu said tearfully, "Donāt you know what kind of life weāre living now? We havenāt had a bite of meat for months."
"Chunhai, Iām not just crying poor, but only when you get to the city do you realize itās not even as good as our countryside, you need a ticket for everything you want to buy." Wang Meili is a temporary worker, and their household registration is all in Nanshui Village, so they arenāt included when the city distributes ration tickets.
And in the city, buying meat or anything requires a meat ticket, if you donāt have a ticket, who would sell you meat? Isnāt that asking for trouble?
If Wang Meili hadnāt asked someone to think of a way (as Wang Meili herself said), they might not have seen meat for months.
"When we split the family, we agreed on this." Gu Chunhaiās expression didnāt change at all, he waved his hand to signal Gu Lingling to help Old Sir Gu indoors, "Itās only been a few months, have you already forgotten?"
"You... do you really have the heart to not care for your own mother?" Old Mrs. Gu said.
"Back when we split the family, it was you who didnāt want me as a son." Taking Wang Meili and Gu Juan, you left without looking back, almost emptied the house.
Did you not think about your son at all?
"This meat isnāt even enough for the three of us, you should go back." Gu Chunhai was truly tired.
"Grandma," Gu Lingling came out and said with a smile, "why did only you come back? Aunt never cares about such matters and always sends you, she really doesnāt take you seriously."
"Stop sowing discord." Old Mrs. Gu glared at Gu Lingling.
Donāt think she doesnāt know, this girl is definitely trying to stir things up.
"Does it even need stirring? Anyone with a clear mind can see it." Gu Lingling snorted, "By the way, Grandma, donāt you know how to make hawthorn cakes?"
Clearly, they were just talking about meat, and suddenly it switched to hawthorn cakes, leaving Old Mrs. Gu unresponsive for a moment. Instinctively, she replied, "Why would I know how to make those troublesome things? Itās too much effort."
She had seen Wang Meili make them before, and it was too tedious.
And Old Mrs. Gu always believed filling the stomach was enough, the complicated method of making hawthorn cakes made her reluctant even to think about it.
Just why did this girl suddenly think to ask about that?
"Thereās still some hawthorn at home, if you donāt know how, Iāll dry them and let Grandpa and Dad have them with water."
Gu Lingling explained.
