Chapter 81: Dinner Party At the Mo House (1) (2/2)

Their problems were solved when Mo Beihan left to work and earned a salary.

At present, the Mo house was fairly large. Upon entering, there were three rooms on the right. One was the kitchen and the other two bedrooms belonged to Mo Beihan and the two children.

There were three central rooms and Jiang Yingqiu lived there.

The space opposite the kitchen was a small vegetable patch. The backyard was also a vegetable garden.

When they entered, Jiang Yingqiu was just returning from the backyard. Her eyes brightened when she saw Gu Qingyao.

“Yao Yao!”

She liked this girl!

Gu Qingyao smiled and replied, “Aunt Jiang!”

Jiang Yingqiu wanted to help when she saw that they had caught many fish, but Mo Beihan stopped her. “Mother, go and rest! Don’t tire yourself when you haven’t recovered from your illness. I’ll supervise them and that will do.”

Jiang Yingqiu had worked too hard when she was young and her health had failed because of overwork. She usually had a major illness after the autumn harvest.

She was not allowed to lift a finger. Gu Qingyao, Mo Beihan and the children were enough.

Gu Qingyao had already rinsed the fish and prawns, which weighed a dozen kilograms. They could not finish it all at once, so Gu Qingyao only took half of them, and left the rest alive in the water.

When Mo Chengrui saw that Gu Qingyao had separated the small fish and prawns and placed them in basins and buckets, he said, “Elder Sister Gu, let’s kill them all. Otherwise, they will mostly be dead by tomorrow.”

Gu Qingyao laughed. “No, they won’t. I guarantee they won’t die.”

Mo Chengrui: “…”

They were best eaten fresh. Gu Qingyao did not really like to preserve them unless necessary.
