BXBX NOVEL Chapter 165 - 165: Showing Off
When it was time to eat, a large family of relatives gathered around a round table that could accommodate more than ten people.
Considering that there were guests coming today, Gu Li was busy preparing food early in the morning.
There was red braised pork, roasted lamb leg, steamed carp, spicy stir-fried clams, meatballs, cold cucumber shreds, and stewed pork ribs with beans. They were all formidable dishes that could impress many!
Song Feng brought Wei to the table, but he didn’t greet Gu Fang.
Gu Fang could not be bothered with Song Feng, her sister-in-law.
In her eyes, Song Feng was just a stinky worker working in a factory. If word got out, he would have no dignity at all.
However, this table of good food completely stunned Gu Fang’s family!
If the house was rented, what about this table of food? Could it be that he had borrowed money to buy them?
In this day and age, lamb legs and pork ribs were expensive! Even a rich businessman like Gu Fang could not eat pork ribs at any time!
“Isn’t Song Yao’s wedding on the 15th of the first month? Why is it pushed early? She even prepared such a large table of good wine and dishes. The money she earned in a year has been used to buy groceries, right?”
Gu Fang’s words were sharp and unkind. Not to mention Song Feng, even her aunt, Song Lan, did not like to listen.
In the end, Gu Li said with a dark expression, “What do you mean pushed early? Shouldn’t we have a good meal on the second day of the Lunar New Year?”
Gu Fang said, “We should eat a good meal, but we can’t eat like this, can we? My brother-in-law, Son Ping, can only earn so little money after working in the fields for an entire year. If we use it all on food, what will happen to our future?”
“Don’t worry, we won’t be poor.” Song Yao sneered. “Our family doesn’t lack the money for this meal. Moreover, these are just home-cooked dishes. Why? Does Aunt’s family have to spend a year’s salary to eat these dishes?”
“Song Yao!” Gu Fang gritted her teeth in anger.
In the end, it was Chen Feng who pulled her back. “What do you have to say to an uncultured girl?”
“That’s right!” Gu Fang smiled. “Song Yao is a wild girl who hasn’t even taken the college entrance examination. I don’t expect her to have high standards! After all, our Huanhuan is a third-year student in the county’s No. 1 Middle School. She’ll be taking the college entrance examination next year!”
After Gu Fang finished speaking, she gave Chen Huan a look.
Chen Huan immediately understood. She cleared his throat and said, “Our form teacher said that I scored more than 400 points in the midterm college entrance examination! It’s not a problem for me to go to university!”
Chen Feng continued his daughter’s words. “My daughter wants to get into the capital’s teacher training college in the future and become an outstanding teacher!”
No one answered at the table.
Gu Fang’s expression was even uglier. She knew that today was Song Yao’s home ground, but so what Could her daughter not compare to Song Yao, that uncultured and vulgar wild girl?
“My daughter is going to university in the future! Even if she gets married, she has to marry the most eligible man! She can’t just find a cigarette dealer and marry him directly! How embarrassing is that?
After Gu Fang finished speaking, she glanced at Gu Li. “Sister, your life is really tough. Not only did your daughter get a divorce, but she also found a poor person for her second marriage. Her youngest son probably won’t do well in the future… We’re different. I own a big restaurant in the county. My usual job is to take care of those young ladies who come to work. I earn a lot. Why is the difference between people so big?”
“But don’t worry.” Gu Fang held Gu Li’s hand and said with a smile, “As your biological sister, I definitely have to help you! Including Yao and Sister-in-law. If anyone in your family can’t find a job, I can help arrange it!”
Gu Fang smiled smugly and thought to herself, ‘Since I’ve already said so, won’t you people rush over to thank me?’
However, Gu Li’s expression was especially ugly. She said with a dark expression, “There’s no need!”
“How can we not use it? Which family’s conditions are better than ours?”
Gu Fang smiled and said, “My good sister, stop pretending! I know you care about your face, so you spent more than a year’s salary to make such a big table of dishes and rented such a good house to welcome us over! I know all of this! But Sister, can you stop puffing yourself up at your own cost? I know how your life is. Even if your life isn’t good, I won’t despise you!”
Song Yao just smiled and didn’t say anything!
Originally, there was nothing to say to someone like Gu Fang who liked to show off, but Gu Fang’s words were really too piercing! It was so piercing that she could not listen to it at all!
“Aunt, where are you opening a restaurant? Tell me your name.” Song Yao asked, “Also, you said that Cousin plans to enter the capital’s Teacher’s College? But if I’m not wrong, you won’t be able to enter that university with your score right now..”
