Sure enough, when Widow Cao heard this, she was also very conflicted, but she couldn't refuse.

After all, what Yun Xi said made sense. She was indeed in a hurry to make the cushions, but she didn't feel comfortable letting He Dachun's wife cook for both her and her daughter.

However, seeing that the cushion would not take too long to make, Widow Cao thought about it and decided to go with the flow and agree.

After having dinner at the Lu family, it was already completely dark.

The thatched cottage where Widow Cao lived was on the edge of the village. Gu Yunxi was worried that the road would be difficult to walk on at night, so he and Gu Yunle held lanterns and personally walked them back.

The next day, Widow Cao came to the Lu family early, had breakfast, and started working.

Gu Yunxi sat with them for a while, then called He Dachun and went to the old Gu family.

I didn't go yesterday, so I don't know how her father is recovering? I don't know if Mrs. Gu and Mr. Gu have taken good care of her father?

He Dachun drove the carriage very fast and arrived at Lao Gu's house in a short while.

Gu Yunxi walked straight across the yard and into the house.

In the room, Boss Gu was supporting himself on the bed with his hands, struggling to get up.

"Dad, what are you doing? Do you want to go to the bathroom? You haven't done it since you woke up this morning?" Gu Yunxi asked hurriedly.

Upon hearing this, Boss Gu's dark face instantly showed a hint of embarrassment, and he nodded slowly.

"Where is my grandpa and grandma? Where did they go?" Gu Yunxi frowned. When she came in just now, she didn't see Grandma Gu and Grandpa Gu.

The kitchen door seemed to be closed as well, and no one was home.

Gu Yunxi reached out to support Boss Gu, while shouting outside: "He Dachun, come in!"

He Dachun was waiting outside. When he heard the noise, he hurried in, took Gu Lao Da, put one of his arms on his shoulders, and helped him walk.

When He Dachun helped Gu Lao Da back from the bathroom, Gu Lao Da sighed and said, "Your aunt has given birth to another baby, and your grandma and grandpa have gone over there."

"Your second aunt might have gone to wash clothes, or she might have followed him. I don't know." Boss Gu said sullenly, with no emotion visible on his face.

Upon hearing this, Gu Yunxi suddenly remembered that he did have a younger sister-in-law who was also married in Dongpo Village!

That little aunt, oh, how much Grandma Gu loved her in the past. Almost all the good things she had would be given to the little aunt.

Gu Yunxi was also very confused. It was obvious that Old Lady Gu was a person who favored boys over girls, but she loved her aunt so much that even her father and second uncle had to stand back.

"Oh, did they cook breakfast for you?" Gu Yunxi asked.

Just as he finished speaking, Boss Gu's stomach growled, and he was very embarrassed.

"Didn't eat? They didn't cook?" Gu Yunxi was almost angry. He had only been here for less than a day, and these people treated Boss Gu, a patient, like this.

If she didn't come back today, Boss Gu would have to stay hungry and wait for them to come back before he could have a bite of food.

"Drink some water first. I'll go to the kitchen."

Gu Yunxi took a deep breath, handed the water to Boss Gu, and stood up to see if there was anything to eat in the kitchen.

Boss Gu took the water woodenly, took a sip, his eyes full of surprise.

"Yunxi, did you fetch this water just now? Why does it taste different from what I drank yesterday?"

Gu Yunxi had already walked to the door, but when he heard this, he paused, his eyes flickered, and he said, "They are all water from the water tank, what's the difference?"

"It's because you haven't eaten yet today. You feel different after drinking water."

Upon hearing this, Boss Gu was puzzled for a moment and then stopped worrying about it.

Gu Yunxi went to the kitchen and took a look. As expected, there was no fire in the kitchen today. Could it be that Second Aunt really followed Old Mrs. Gu and Old Mr. Gu to her aunt's house?

That's right. With Old Lady Gu's personality, how could she bear to eat at home when she could go to her aunt's house for meals?

As far as I remember, my younger aunt's in-laws' family had not yet split up, and several brothers lived together. Old Mrs. Gu brought her whole family there to eat, and what they ate were the same things that were shared by my younger aunt's in-laws, so naturally she didn't feel bad about it.

If my younger sister-in-law separates from the family in the future, Grandma Gu will definitely not do this again.

Gu Yunxi shook his head, rolled up his sleeves, took the casserole out, washed it, washed the rice and cooked it, and then fried the meat he brought.

After working for a while, the rice and dishes were cooked and ready. Gu Yunxi took them directly to Boss Gu's house.

Boss Gu was very grateful and embarrassed, and said, "Yunxi, thank you for your hard work."

"I don't have anything to do here. If you are busy, you can go back first."

Boss Gu was afraid that Gu Yunxi was busy with something, so he didn't dare to waste her time.

Gu Yunxi smiled and said, "Nothing, you eat first, I'll collect the bowls and take them out before leaving."

However, before she could leave, sharp curses from Old Lady Gu were heard from outside the yard.

"Who the hell took my eggs? They were the eggs I saved for Ru'er!!!"

"Shameless little thief, if I catch her, I will beat her to death!"

"Second brother's wife, tell me, was it you who stole it?"

Then, Mrs. Wu's crying voice was heard.

"Mom, you are really wronging me. I went out with you today. How could I steal eggs?"

"Who else could it be but you? You are the only one in the kitchen all day. Could it be that my two missing eggs were eaten by the dog?" Old Mrs. Gu shouted harshly.

Wu was speechless and could only shout, "Mom, it really wasn't me. I didn't steal it!"

Upon hearing this, Gu Yunxi hurried out of the house.

"Grandma, are you talking about those eggs on the firewood pile? I took them. My father didn't even have breakfast, so I cooked two eggs for him."

Gu Yunxi's voice was very calm, but to Old Lady Gu and Mrs. Wu, it sounded like something very serious, which made them very angry.

Mrs. Wu shouted, "Yunxi, how could you take your grandmother's eggs and make me be wronged by your grandmother!"

Wu's eyes were full of resentment. Anyone would feel bad after being wronged by Old Lady Gu just now.

Gu Yunxi twitched the corners of her mouth and said, "Grandma, how could you wrongly accuse Second Aunt if you didn't ask clearly?"

After hearing this, Mrs. Wu felt better.

Old Mrs. Gu was so angry that she almost jumped up and yelled, "Okay, I was wondering why Mrs. Wu would do such a thing, but it turns out it was you who lost money!"

"Why did you steal my eggs? Pay me back! Two cents each!"

Hearing this, Gu Yunxi sneered and said, "What do you mean by your eggs? Are those your eggs? In the past, all the chickens in our house were fed by Yunxi and I using insects we picked up."

"Otherwise, if you don't want to feed the chicken all day, how can it lay eggs for you?"

She cooked eggs for Boss Gu to eat and felt at ease!
