Chapter 421: Sun Mei Tries To Ingratiate Herself (1/2)
Jiang Yingqiu was in her room, her legs covered by her blankets. Her heart filled with thankfulness when she heard the laughter and chatter from the kitchen.
What a wonderful daughter-in-law!
Her son liked her, she was good-looking and did not mind the two young children living with her. They were well aware of her background.
The Gu family were landlords and their background was not good, but if it were not so, her son would not have the good fortune to marry a girl from the Gu family. Coming from an aristocratic family like that, she had naturally been well brought up. Gu Qingyao was clearly a cut above the other girls.
She had observed them for so many years. She knew almost all the girls in the surrounding brigades, but no matter how she considered the matter, Gu Qingyao was still the most compatible with her son.
In the kitchen, Gu Qingyao was instructing the two children on how to cook. Today, she had brought the food and the two children were filled with anticipation. Gu Qingyao trimmed the chicken and simply put it on the stove to boil.
She cooked some white rice for lunch. The two children looked delighted. In these times, it was rare to eat pure white rice.
She only cooked two dishes for lunch because there was chicken soup. Everyone would certainly drink more soup, so there was no need to cook too much.
Sure enough, at lunch, the two children were full after just drinking the chicken soup and eating the chicken meat.
Gu Qingyao cleared the bowls and chopsticks before preparing to go back.
Meanwhile, Sun Mei and Wang Li had been waiting outside the Mo house for some time. When they smelt the aroma of chicken soup wafting from the Mo house, they could not help but drool.
Even though Sun Mei came from a wealthy family, she was still greedy for these things.
She felt that what her grandfather said had made sense.
She had always liked Mo Beihan. She thought that Mo Beihan was handsome, had a job outside the village, and was a capable man.
