In the end, it was the old man who couldn’t take it anymore and shouted outside, "That’s enough, that’s enough, let’s eat first, no need to wait for Jin girl."
Upon hearing the old man speak, Chen Hong naturally didn’t dare to continue.
But the words she said just now had already been overheard by the neighbors, leaving them quite confused.
Everyone knew the "ungrateful person" Chen Hong was cursing at was none other than Gu Jin, who had no blood relation with the Gu Family.
They just didn’t understand why Chen Hong was so upset today, as she usually didn’t express such animosity towards that girl.
By the ti Gu Jin led little An ho, Chen Hong had already silenced herself and returned inside to eat.
Upon entering the house and hearing the sounds from the kitchen, she went straight there with the child in hand.
"Grandpa."
Gu Jin stood at the kitchen door, only calling out to the old man. Previously, she hadn’t felt any affection for this family and was only sowhat close to the old man.
The old man saw she had returned and grunted, "You’re back, let’s eat first."
Chen Hong glared at An Mingji with unfriendly eyes, letting out a cold snort, her expression twisted.
Seeing this child, she felt as if soone was cutting her flesh.
Uncle Gu, Gu Jiajie, and Gu Minmin glanced at Gu Jin, but remained silent and just continued eating.
Gu Jin was already used to this; she used to feel unwelco in this family.
Actually, even without her, the household would be the sa way: the grandpa with his odd temper, loving to smoke but not much for conversation.
Uncle was quiet, an honest person, while Aunt Chen Hong loved to nag and chatter.
The cousin was a shrewd one in the village, not much better than riffraff, yet he never bullied her at ho. The cousin Gu Minmin was an honest, sowhat shy little girl.
Within this family, only the aunt kept nagging. Gu Jin used to avoid her the most, always afraid of provoking her displeasure, which would lead to incessant nagging.
Now she realized Chen Hong was simply straightforward, saying what ca to mind.
Thinking about it, Gu Jin’s gaze toward everyone beca much gentler.
"Uncle, Jiajie, Brother Du asked to call you to help carry the wild boar from the back mountain."
"..."
"..."
Gu Jin’s words made the Gu Family mbers stop eating, mainly because the wild boar caught their attention.
"Brother Du? Is it Du Aiqing?" the old man asked.
"Yes." Gu Jin nodded.
Gu Jiajie was puzzled, chewing the mixed grain bun and mumbling incomprehensibly, "Why would he choose our house?"
Their place was so distance from the back mountain; any house at the foot of the mountain could help.
With this question, the Gu Family looked at Gu Jin, puzzled.
Gu Jin explained everything that happened, "I was taking little An for a walk at the back mountain when I t Brother Du coming down, and then we encountered the wild boar..."
After she finished speaking, the Gu Family mbers all showed dazed expressions.
Chen Hong was the first to react, and upon thinking of the nearly thousand-pound wild boar Gu Jin ntioned, her eyes imdiately turned red. She shouted at her husband and son, resentful of their inaction, "What are you standing around for, go quickly! Who knows if the at will still be there later!"
That was wild boar at, real at!
For ordinary families, unless it was a festive season, who could afford to buy at? The money for a pound of at could buy enough grain for a al versus half a month’s worth of food.
The two Gu Family n each got a push from Chen Hong.
Gu Jiajie, pushed by his mother, snapped back to reality, already drooling at the thought.
The family only got to eat at during festivals, and they never had enough.
