Chapter 65: Chu Lixiu's Sudden Fury

  Osmanthus fragrans seems to have understood, emotionally Xu's family went to the town, nominally for Chu Lao Ye Zi's birthday procurement, but actually it was a case of "the wine is not in the wine"!

  After everything has been moved, it's almost time for dinner.

  Madam Xü watched as several of her daughters-in-law worked in the kitchen, not allowed to touch meat or fish. This meal was just like any other, except that she had steamed a bowl of egg custard for both Chu Yan-yi and Chu Li-wan.

  The Chu family should eat salted vegetables if they are supposed to eat salted vegetables, and drink wild vegetable congee if they are supposed to drink wild vegetable congee. As usual, not a single drop of oil is visible.

  After dinner, Madam Xue put down her bowl and chopsticks, stopped the few daughters-in-law who were about to clear the tableware, and said: "You all hurry up and clean up, today everyone is tired. The day after tomorrow is your father's birthday, starting from tomorrow, each of you should be in high spirits and have a plan in mind for what to prepare and what to do. Just rest well tonight!"

  After finishing speaking, everyone nodded in agreement and didn't dare say anything more.

  Now that she, as the mistress of the house, has spoken and told everyone to rest, who else would dare say anything?

  Helping her mother wash the dishes, Gui Hua returned to her own home and as soon as she entered the door, she couldn't help but ask Mo Shi: "Mother, why did grandma look so strange today? Normally after eating, if she doesn't scold us a few times, she's not satisfied."

  After living here for a while, Gui Hua has figured it out. Scolding the women and children in the house before meals, and scolding them again after meals, this is simply Xu Shi's daily must-do, just like washing hands before and after meals as usual.

  But today, Xu Shi was not just abnormal.

  Mo shook her head and didn't make a sound, but instead it was Plum Blossom who spoke up beside her, "Uncomfortable? I'm afraid she's eager for everyone to disappear from her sight as soon as possible today!"

  As soon as she heard this, Guihua suddenly felt that something was wrong and hastily turned her head to ask Meihua what was going on.

  Plum Blossom glanced at Madam Mo and saw that she didn't mean to stop her from speaking, so she continued with a hint of annoyance: "We're still lucky because of the things we bought today. Grandma is busy dealing with the meat and fish, if they're not handled properly, they might go bad or be stolen by someone, that's when she'll truly be heartbroken!"

  Today I bought so much meat and fish, this little Osmanthus knows.

  At that time she was still curious why they bought so much meat and fish in June, what if it went bad, after all, there were no refrigerators in this era.

  It seems that emotions are what Xu Shi needs to process with those flesh. Moreover, she doesn't even trust others to do it, and must do it herself.

  "Alas, I don't know what's so tiring and frustrating!" Guihua let out a mature sigh, shaking her head, which made the nearby Meihua and Moshi burst into laughter.

  "Sister, what are you laughing at?" Just then, Chu Yan Nian also walked in with Chu Li Shou.

  "Nothing! It's a girl thing, why are you asking blindly!" Guihua glared at her brother with annoyance. Just now, she had already been teased by her mother and older sister, and didn't want to be teased again by her own brother.

  Chu Yan Nian's face turned red as she was choked by the osmanthus flowers, and she hurriedly stopped talking, no longer asking questions.

  "What are you all doing standing around here? Shouldn't you be going back to wherever you came from?! You've been busy for a whole day, aren't you tired yet?" Chu Liguang, who followed behind Chu Yannian, shouted in a very irritable tone, scaring the few people in the room into stunned silence.
