Gu Yunxi felt secretly happy when she saw the angry expression of Old Lady Gu.

"Speaking of which, the eggs are still half for Yunle and me. I took the eggs and cooked them for my dad. What's wrong with that?"

"If you take it without asking, it's stealing. How dare you bother to pay attention to me, you bastard?" Old Mrs. Gu was so angry at Gu Yunxi's sharp tongue that she almost vomited blood.

Gu Yunxi sneered and said, "Have you separated the family property from my father? If we haven't even separated the family property, how can you call it stealing? I took my own things!"

"Otherwise, why don't you ask the village chief and the elders to come and judge who is right and who is wrong?"

Gu Yunxi looked at Old Lady Gu coldly, and was certain that she would not dare to ask the village chief and the elders for help.

It was not only because the eggs were shared by the family, but also because they went out early in the morning and did not cook, leaving Boss Gu alone at home to starve.

Everything is Old Lady Gu's fault.

If she dared to ask someone to judge the case, Gu Yunxi would have to applaud her and praise her for her courage!

Several people were standing in the yard arguing. When Mr. Gu heard that the village chief and clan elders were going to be invited, he immediately came out of the house and shouted at Mrs. Gu.

"Old lady, didn't you say you were going to send eggs to Ru'er? What are you still standing here for? The old man has eaten two eggs, so what else is there to say?"

Upon hearing this, Old Mrs. Gu glared at Gu Yunxi reluctantly, then went into the kitchen, carefully placed the remaining eggs in a basket, and was about to go out with the basket in her hand.

Gu Yunxi originally didn't bother to pay attention to them, but she was a little angry and didn't want to endure it.

So, she said, "Master, my father is not your and grandma's biological son, right?"

"What nonsense are you talking about!" Old Master Gu shouted hurriedly.

If the eldest son is not his son, wouldn't that mean the old woman is cheating on him?

Gu Yunxi looked innocent and said, "But, you and grandma's hearts have both gone astray."

"You guys didn't even blink an eye and took all the eggs from this basket to give to my aunt. My father is also a patient who can't even get out of bed. Why don't you give him some eggs?"

"And my second uncle's Yun Hong and Yun Zhi, they are both studying in town, and it's very hard. Doesn't Grandpa love them anymore?"

As soon as these words came out, Wu nodded immediately and echoed: "Dad, Yunhong and Yunzhi have been busy with schoolwork recently. The second brother said that they have lost a lot of weight..."

"Second son's wife, you are so heartless. Your younger sister just gave birth to a baby today. She is very weak. It is at this time that she needs to eat eggs to replenish her body. Why do you want to snatch them from your younger sister?" Old Mrs. Gu glared at Wu unhappily.

Upon seeing this, Mrs. Wu was so frightened that she immediately shrank back, lowered her head, wrung her hands together, and dared not say a word.

Gu Yunxi smiled and said, "Grandpa, since my father, my second uncle, and my aunt are all your biological children, why can't you leave some eggs for my father and my second uncle's Yun Hong and Yun Zhi to eat?"

"Master, you have to think it through. When you are a hundred years old, the ones who will wait for you, wear mourning clothes, carry your coffin, and sweep your grave every year will be the men of our Gu family, not your aunt."

This is the custom throughout Jihu Town. When parents pass away, unless there are no male descendants in the family, the ones who wear mourning clothes and carry the coffin and break the basin are all sons and grandsons.

As for married daughters, they are now outsiders and cannot come back to do tasks like sweeping graves.

Although Gu Yunxi did not agree with this custom, this was the custom and she had no choice but to follow it when living here.

Upon hearing this, Mr. Gu's face darkened. Looking at the basket full of eggs in Mrs. Gu's hands, he said, "Old lady, pick out some eggs for the eldest brother and Yun Hong and Yun Zhi."

Old Mrs. Gu glared at Gu Yunxi hatefully, very reluctantly.

Gu Yunxi smiled and added, "Grandma, you have to think it over carefully. You are a member of the old Gu family. In the future, during the Qingming Festival, it will be my father, my second uncle and other male descendants who will sweep your grave and burn paper money for you."

"My aunt is also a money-loser. She is a stranger. Instead of giving so many eggs to a stranger, you might as well give more to Yun Hong, Yun Zhi and my father!"

Who told Old Lady Gu to always say that she was a money-loser? My younger sister-in-law is also a woman, and a married daughter, so she should just return the words to Old Lady Gu.

Old Mrs. Gu was furious, but what Gu Yunxi said made sense and she couldn't refute it.

So, in front of everyone, Grandma Gu had to pick up a small number of eggs from the basket with heartache and put them back in the kitchen.

He then carried most of the remaining items back to his daughter's home.

Mrs. Wu looked at the eggs in the kitchen and asked Mr. Gu, "Dad, should I split the remaining eggs in half and give them to Yun Hong and Yun Zhi?"

"The two brothers have been too busy with schoolwork lately and have become very thin. I want them to eat eggs as soon as possible, otherwise, the eggs may go bad if left for too long."

Mr. Gu nodded slowly and said, "Well, second wife, you make lunch first, and then go to town after lunch."

When Mrs. Wu heard this, her face was full of joy. She had wanted to go back to town for a long time.

It's not just because I miss my son, but also because I want to go back to my parents' home and eat some good food.

After all, the living conditions in her mother's home were much better than those in the old Gu family. Every time she went back to her mother's home, her eldest brother would ask her eldest sister-in-law to treat her with good wine and delicious food.

Before leaving, the eldest brother would give her some silver from time to time!

After Mrs. Wu got the eggs, her steps became lighter and she immediately went into the kitchen to prepare lunch.

If she eats earlier, she can get back to town earlier.

Gu Yunxi shook his head. Just a few eggs made Mrs. Wu so happy.

To put it bluntly, it’s all because of poverty!

She ignored the eggs in the kitchen, walked out of the yard and went to Yuan's house next door.

At Yuan’s house, the prototype of the sofa is already visible.

Uncle Yuan and Big Brother Yuan were busy. When they saw Gu Yunxi and He Dachun coming in, they hurriedly greeted them: "Yunxi, you're here!"

"Oh, Yunxi, I was just talking about you coming over today. My feeling was so accurate!" Aunt Yuan came out of the house with a smile and moved a chair for Gu Yunxi.

Gu Yunxi thanked him with a smile and sat down.

"Uncle, this sofa looks almost done. Are you guys rushing to finish it tonight?" Gu Yunxi asked with a smile.

When I came over the day before yesterday, Uncle Yuan said it would take about seven or eight days. Now it seems that it can be done in four or five days.

Aunt Yuan took the initiative to answer: "We were afraid of wasting time. We thought there was not much work to do in the fields and nothing to do at night, so we just lit the lamp in the yard and made a sofa."

"When they were helping others move furniture before, they did the same thing, and it was fine."

Uncle Yuan and Brother Yuan smiled somewhat embarrassedly. Gu Yunxi saw this and felt quite touched.

The dedication of the Yuan family father and son is worthy of recognition. She feels more confident that she can succeed by opening a shop in partnership with the Yuan family.
