Chapter 82: Your Grandmother is Getting Senile (Revised)

  "Bang!" Along with a loud noise, Xu's mouth suddenly closed tightly, and she stared at Chu Zhenghai sitting on the kang in horror.

  At this time, Chu Zhenghai was no longer in the happy mood he had when he got up early in the morning. His face was red with anger from Xu's scolding, "You good-for-nothing woman, is your mouth for eating or spewing shit? Can't you live without saying something to piss people off every day? What day is it today? Can't your mouth have some restraint? I just wanted to spend a peaceful birthday, but you can't let me go, is that right? Do you want me to die from anger before you're satisfied? What's wrong with my granddaughter wanting some wine? Does she necessarily have to drink it if she wants some? Don't you know what you've been doing? Didn't that slap not land on your face?"

  Chu Zhenghai was really furious this time, and he slammed the needlework basket on the kang head to the ground. Now, he was pointing at Madam Xue's nose and scolding her harshly.

  Mo and Yu, who were in the kitchen, heard the noise in the house getting louder, so they hurriedly came in. Just as the two of them were about to step inside, Mo suddenly grabbed Yu's hand and whispered a few words in her ear. After that, the two of them quietly retreated from the main room.

  It was Chuliwen in the western house who heard the sound, didn't know what happened, and ran directly to the eastern house, "Dad, mom, what's going on? Didn't we agree that everything would be fine today?"

  Xu's wife saw her daughter arrive and immediately thought she had found an ally. Just as she was about to flare up in resistance, Chu Zhenghai suppressed her again. "What's good? You've got two silver ingots and don't know what to do with them. Xu's wife, I'm telling you, the ten taels of silver we collected today, you'd better put them away safely. When our third and fourth sons divide their inheritance later, take out all the silver we have at home and give it to the children! If I find out you're hiding any for yourself again, I'll make sure to deal with this stupid wife of mine!"

  Don't look at Xu's usual fearless and reckless appearance, but in fact she is the most timid person in the Chu family. As soon as she heard that Chu Zhenghai wanted to divorce her, she immediately looked like a defeated rooster, leaning against the wall with a wronged expression, looking like she was about to cry, which really made people feel heartbroken.

  But osmanthus wouldn't feel heartache for someone like him.

  All the tragedies of Xu's family were caused by herself and had nothing to do with others.

  Chu Zhenghai scolded Xu Shi and then turned to look at Gui Hua, his expression much improved. "Good granddaughter, your grandma was just talking nonsense earlier, don't take it to heart. Grandpa's wine is in the black jar on the bottom of the cabinet, you can use as much as you want with the ladle inside. Just remember to put the lid back on after you're done."

  Osmanthus nodded and ran out, found a bowl from the cupboard, scooped out more than half a bowl of wine, and then covered the lid of the wine jar again.

  In Chu Zhenghai's view, Osmanthus wine is for plum blossoms, but the real purpose of Osmanthus wanting this wine is to stew fish.

  In this era, ginger had not yet appeared, so when it came to removing fishy smell, only wine could be used for seasoning.

  Fortunately, Chu Zhenghai had a habit of drinking a cup every day, and although he didn't drink much, there was always wine at home. Plus today was his birthday, so Mrs. Xu rarely generously prepared more wine.

  Looking at the fish, this time it's completely done, and Mo Shi and Yu Shi's dishes are also ready. Only then did Gui Hua let Chu Yan Nian go to the riverbank to find someone to eat with Piao Yinzi.
