Chapter 84 Rushing Against Time

  After making sure Mei Hua had enough to eat, Gui Hua picked up her chopsticks and started serving herself, but not just that, she also vigorously served Mo Shi and Chu Yande.

  Later, looking at the four uncles' family's three daughters being too incompetent, they simply made a big sweep and brought rice dishes to the fourth aunt and two children. After busy for so long, Guihua finally sat down to eat.

  "Wow, I didn't realize it, but Guihua is actually a considerate person!" Lu Shi had just swallowed a big mouthful of rice and happened to see Guihua serving Yu Shi a large piece of meat with her chopsticks. It was so generous that it made one's heart ache, which is why she said this sentence in a somewhat annoyed tone.

  "Alas, Fourth Aunt can't compare to Second Aunt-in-law. Even if no one yields, Second Aunt-in-law won't let herself eat less. If I don't put on a thick face and take care of the others, I'm afraid all the meat dishes on this table will be taken by Second Aunt-in-law's stomach!" Guihua also didn't mince words, swallowing her food and retorting to Lu Shi with the same tone.

  "You little girl, how dare you talk to your elders like that? Besides, my belly is quite capable, I've been a young master all my life, and no matter what, I'm more noble than that born-to-be-a-slave girl. Even if I eat something, it's not like I'm eating for free." Lu Shi's mouth was completely unguarded, and she specifically targeted people's sore spots when speaking.

  Yu's face immediately turned pale, and the movement of his chopsticks slowed down significantly.

  The lotus flower and the peach blossom both slowed down instantly, their faces also bitter, but the peach blossom's eyes were staring at Lu Shi, obviously very disgusted with this second aunt.

  Looking at Peach Blossom's appearance, Osmanthus couldn't help but think that this girl would not be a kind person in the future. It seems that even if Fourth Uncle's family really doesn't have a son, they won't be bullied by others anymore.

  "Second Aunt, are you full? Are you just picking at your food now? Or is it that my mother and Fourth Aunt put too much salt in the dishes they cooked, and you're finding it too salty?" Gui Hua picked up her chopsticks and gave Yu Shi another piece of meat before calmly saying to Lu Shi.

  "What do you mean?" Lu raised an eyebrow and glanced at Gui Hua, but the movement of picking dishes in her hand didn't stop at all.

  "It doesn't matter, if the dishes are fine, you'd better hurry up and eat, or else we'll finish everything before you can even turn around, and you'll be left eating soup alone." While speaking, Guihua added more food to everyone's plates, including her younger sister-in-law, who she didn't usually get along with, and even gave her a piece of scrambled eggs with garlic sprouts that was hard for her to reach.

  Chu Liwan simply stared blankly for a moment before lowering her head to eat, ignoring the conversation between Gui Hua and Lu Shi.

  Zhou watched as Guihua picked out a piece of easy-to-chew pork ribs for herself, and her original intention to glare at her was temporarily set aside.

  Lu's wife opened her mouth, wanting to say something, but Xu's wife, who had been silent all along, suddenly spoke up, "You can't even stuff your mouth with food, you must be bored out of your wits. After dinner, I'll let you wash the bowls and chopsticks."

  "Ah!" Lu exclaimed, hastily shoveling two more mouthfuls of rice into her mouth before saying, "Mother, I'm not done yet! Meng's older sister said she needs to see me this afternoon, and I have to rush over as soon as I finish eating!"

  As she spoke, Lu's eating speed quickened, as if she was really in a hurry.

  The Lu family was already accustomed to this routine of using it as an excuse to avoid work in the Chu household.

  Xu didn't say much anymore, and others naturally didn't want to say anything else. Only Yu's face was still not very good, but Hehua, under the influence of Guihua, had opened up a lot more and dared to pick dishes for herself, her sister, and her mother to eat.
