Chapter 58: Poor Gu Ruoqing, Poor Zhang Xiaohui (2) (1/2)

When Gu Ruoqing saw that, she wanted to follow, but Gu Qingyao grabbed her. “Where are you going? I’ve already said there are so many adults in the main room. There’s not enough even for the adults, why are you going there?”

“You’re just a girl, who said you can eat with the rest?”

Gu Ruoqing panicked. “Who are you to say that? Dabao and the others…”

“Dabao and the others are still children. They’re guests of the Gu family and most importantly, they’re boys. What would a girl like you be doing over there? You ill-bred creature. Stay here and help me.”

“Let go!” Gu Ruoqing panicked.

Wang Honghua, who was standing nearby, slapped Gu Ruoqing on the shoulder and viciously yanked her back as she tried to rush out of the kitchen. “You ill-bred creature. Are you a hungry ghost that has been reincarnated? All you know how to do is fight for food. You should recognize yourself for what you are, a worthless burden. What do you think you’re going to eat?”

Gu Ruoqing was so angry she almost cried.

Gu Qingyao went over and said with a smile, “Eldest Aunt, why don’t you bring the fish soup out? It’s such a big bowl of fish soup! It’s to improve Eldest Uncle’s health.”

Wang Honghua happily agreed.

So Gu Ruoqing looked on as Wang Honghua took the entire basin of fish soup and left. Gu Qingyao followed with the platter of soy-braised fish.

Zhang Xiaohui hurriedly brought one of two remaining vegetable dishes to the main hall to join in the meal. Wen Ruyu brought the wild herbs and mushrooms. At that moment, Gu Yunshen and Mo Beihan arrived in the kitchen to help with the serving. Gu Qingyao asked them to bring the plate of pancakes and the porridge.

The bowls, chopsticks, rice and dishes were all laid out in the main hall. The bowl of rabbit meat that had arrived first was almost empty. Only the carrots remained.

When Gu Ruoqing saw that, she cried tears of rage.

“Why has it disappeared so fast?”

The Zhang family had three uncles, three aunts, and three children who ate like hungry wolves, plus Old Master Zhang. There were so many people that there was not enough rabbit meat to go around.
