C8 A Thief Who Steals Food

Gu Donglee took a deep breath and patiently tried to persuade her mother:

"Mom, you have two uncles above you, and now that they have a soft heart to accept this mess, they are naturally happy. However, if you don't take it seriously, the heavens' law will often force them to raise their parents."

"They split up early, you can only count on them — ah! If this wasn't the case, I would want to split up and live my own life! Your father and I will guard Two Meat Shops. If we were a little more diligent and frugal, how would we have led such a miserable life? "

Mrs. Gu thought of these worries and was about to cry. But since it was New Year's Eve, she could only bear with it.

"Mother, let's not rest at the shop. It's the sixth of the first month, let's open for business as usual!" "Since this courtyard belongs to Grandma, if she wants to sell it after the first month to help Third Uncle repay his debt, then we'll sell it to her. If we find a place to move out to, wouldn't that count as home too?"

No matter what, the shop could not be stopped!

According to the diary, the Gu family was currently opening a shop here, and in a few months, there would be a new pier coming over.

Once the port was opened, the business on South Head Street would definitely be extraordinary!

Not only could she not rest, she also had to find a way to pay an extra year's rent in order to avoid a huge increase in the rent of the landlord if the price of the land skyrocketed in the future.

"Alright, alright. Since Pu Zi, Lee, won't rest, we won't rest. We'll listen to our daughter!" After the first month of the year, we'll move out. I'll take care of the old couple's matters. The two of you shouldn't fight over the New Year's Eve, it's going to be unlucky next year. "Lee, quickly go and make some new year's dinner. I'm still waiting for dumplings."

His father, Bao Cheng, tried to smooth things over as he pushed Mrs. Gu into the room.

He did not forget to turn his head around and secretly give Gu Donglee a glance —

Gu Donglee let out a long breath. It was New Year's Eve today, so she had to let go of all her worries. She had to properly prepare a meal for this new year's event.

He walked out of the east room and headed towards the southern kitchen.

However, just as Gu Donglee walked to the door of the kitchen, she saw shadows swaying inside and a faint aroma of meat wafted into the air!

She thought to herself: It's over! Her New Year's gift!

He rushed into the kitchen and found Third Uncle's mother, Young Mrs. Lin, sitting by the stove, holding her son Hu Zi in one hand and a bowl in the other. She was feeding him.

Young Mrs. Lin and her grandmother Mrs. Lin came from the same village, and were distant relatives. She was born clean, but she was lazy, and she was always greedy for cheap things.

Gu Donglee understood that the New Year's food in the kitchen had most likely been eaten by her!

Gu Donglee's face fell as she hurriedly lifted the lid of the wok. With a quick glance —

Indeed!

There was still a pot of soup left in the pot. There were also a few vegetables floating on top of the pot. The meat had already been scooped clean!

The rations she had worked so hard to earn from her father, she didn't even say a word. She didn't even say goodbye. Did she just cook and eat by herself?

Seeing that Gu Donglee had arrived, Young Mrs. Lin was no longer afraid. She only smiled and said:

"When are we going to have our New Year's Eve meal? I saw that Hu Zi was hungry, so I made a pot of stew first. Don't mention it, it's really fragrant! "Lee, your brother had a good time eating. He was just talking about wanting meat for the next meal. Do you have any more somewhere else? We're all family, so you can't hide it. We'll only get lucky if we eat together for the next year!"

Hearing her words, Gu Donglee was furious.

How many times a year could a poor man eat such a big piece of meat?

If she didn't scrape some oil from Qin Xiaodao, with the few coins that her father earned through punching, he might not even be in a daze right now, much less have such a big piece of meat.

This meat was left for her to chop into dumplings and was left for her to eat in the east house.

Who would have thought that in such a short time, it would all be eaten up by this delicious and lazy black-hearted ghost!
