Best friends transmigrate into a book! They marry a high-ranking official! If you run, I run too!

Then he put a chicken wing on Gu Yanli's plate.

Gu Yanli “…”

So, he's not as important to her as her nephew's wife?

Gu Yanli harbored deep resentment, and Wen Tang quickly noticed his melancholy expression.

Wen Tang cautiously asked, "You don't like chicken wings?"

As she spoke, she stretched out her chopsticks, as if she would immediately pick up the chicken wing if Gu Yanli nodded.

Wen Tang was indeed planning to do that.

Gu Yanli would absolutely not allow it.

So, if the chicken leg doesn't belong to him, he can't even get the chicken wing his wife puts on his plate?

Gu Yanli stared directly into Wen Tang's eyes, picked up a chicken wing, took a big bite, and showed Wen Tang how much he loved it.

Wen Tang laughed and said, "I'm glad you like it. I thought you didn't!"

After she finished speaking, she put meat on the plates for the other people at the table.

After the meal, before Gu Juyuan and the others got out of bed, Zhong Meixian couldn't help but say to her husband, "Look at what they made of the kitchen."

Gu Juyuan lit his pipe and said, "Didn't we burn some firewood?"

"So it really could burn the kitchen down?"

"The kitchen burned down, you'll be eating dog shit for lunch!"

Hearing his wife's uncivilized words, Gu Juyuan frowned, turned his face away, and remained silent.

Zhong Meixian ignored him and continued to complain, "She's making us cook, and now she's burning down the kitchen. She can't expect me, her mother-in-law, to cook for her all the time, can she?"

Gu Juyuan said, "If you really don't want to burn it, you can separate the family. It's not good to start arguing and fighting right after you've married her. It would be a laughing stock if people found out."

"And I think he's quite nice, he's good at talking, he's a good kid, and he's quite kind."

Gu Juyuan noticed that whenever the family ate something good these past two days, Wen Tang always thought of everyone else.

As for burning down the kitchen while cooking, Gu Juyuan tapped his pipe and said, "Perhaps they really didn't do it on purpose."

Gu Juyuan's suggestion to divide the family property had already silenced Zhong Meixian; she was unwilling to do so.

She only has one son, Gu Yanli. Wouldn't it be a laughing stock if she separated from the family?

Of course, if they start arguing or fighting, people will laugh at them.

How can a new bride start arguing and fighting just a few days after entering the family?

To say that it's unreasonable is not something that can be achieved by any one person being unreasonable.

Besides, at her age, how could she possibly beat a young person?

Now she can't rely on her daughter for help either; her daughter's family also has its own troubles.

Thinking about it, the old lady felt aggrieved. "I was just saying a few words, but you're talking non-stop. You've talked too much today!"

After she said that, Gu Juyuan fell silent again.

After finishing his cigarette, Gu Juyuan carried his shovel back to the fields.

Wen Tang and Chi Yue, who had been sitting at home all morning, waited until everyone else had gone out, told Gu Yanli and Zhong Meixian, and then went out as well.

Simply sitting and talking was too boring for Wen Tang and Chi Yue.

Resources were limited in this era, but you could still buy some sunflower seeds to eat.

Eating sunflower seeds and gossiping adds a touch of soul to the experience.

But when Zhong Meixian asked, "Where are you two going?"

Wen Tang replied, "I want to see if I can dig up any wild vegetables."

She headed straight for the sunflower seeds, thinking her mother-in-law would definitely accuse her of being greedy, but she couldn't very well say she was digging for wild vegetables.

As for what extra items he had when he returned, that's hard to say.

Wen Tang: Waaah, I'm such a pitiful little thing, I've become a love-struck fool, otherwise who would be so kind as to dig up wild vegetables!

Upon hearing that her daughter-in-law was going to dig for wild vegetables, Zhong Meixian immediately felt ashamed. Not long ago, she had been complaining about her daughter-in-law, but now the girl was already thinking about digging for wild vegetables.

Thinking it over, Zhong Meixian said, "Tang, no need to dig. There are still plenty of cabbages in our family's private plot, and the radishes we buried have grown quite a bit. I'll dig them up and stir-fry them for you tonight!"

Wen Tang said, "Mom, stir-frying radishes uses too much oil!"

"Besides, you can dry the radishes into radish chips and store them in jars until the wheat harvest. It's not a waste to pull them out now."

Zhong Meixian thought the same way. Even if she were to pluck one, she would only pluck one at most, and that would only be for one meal. If Wen Tang wanted to eat more, it would just be because Wen Tang was greedy.

Now that Wen Tang had spoken up, Zhong Meixian didn't insist anymore. "If you two can't dig it up, come back early, it gets dark early."

Wen Tang nodded obediently, "I understand, Mom."

Chi Yue also said, "I understand, Grandma."

Then Zhong Meixian stuffed baskets and shovels into the hands of the two of them.

Wen Tang "..."

Chi Yue "..."

Alright, now we really have to go dig for wild vegetables.

Moreover, as the two of them walked out, Gu Yanli followed behind.

Gu Yanli had a gut feeling that these two weren't going to dig for wild vegetables.

Digging wild vegetables?

With the way her eyes dart around like that, you'd be lucky if she knew to pick up wild vegetables if you dumped them in front of her.

They weren't going out to dig for wild vegetables, but the two of them went out together... Gu Yanli thought about it and decided to go along!

Wen Tang and Chi Yue walked for a while with their baskets. Chi Yue nudged Wen Tang, and only then did Wen Tang notice that Gu Yanli had also come out.

Wen Tang stopped and asked with a smile, "Where are you going?"

Gu Yanli raised his eyebrows slightly and chuckled, "Just taking a stroll!"

He said he was just taking a casual stroll, but since Wen Tang and Chi Yue didn't move, he didn't move either.

As soon as Wen Tang and Chi Yue moved, he followed suit.

Wen Tang waved to him, signaling him to come over.

Gu Yanli thought for a moment, then walked over and stood next to Wen Tang.

Wen Tang glanced at him with a smile, "If you want to come, just follow along openly!"

These words made Gu Yanli turn his face away, and then he coughed twice.

Wen Tang also told him the truth, "We didn't go to dig for wild vegetables. We just wanted to buy some melon seeds to eat, so we wouldn't be bored while sitting there chatting."

"As for meals and such," she patted Gu Yanli's arm, "you are my man, and I trust you."

Upon hearing this, the expressionless man straightened his back even more and shamelessly hummed in agreement.

Then he added, "I can get there faster by riding my bicycle."

Wen Tang waved her hand, "No need, no need. Anyway, Yueyue and I have nothing to do at home. Coming out for a walk and chatting is also good exercise."

As she spoke, she waved her hand again, indicating that Gu Yanli could return to his original position.

Thinking it over, she added, "You can go home too. Yueyue and I won't run away."

Wen Tang: Hmph, men.

Gu Yanli coughed strategically again, and after coughing, he told Wen Tang, "I'm fine too."

After he said that, Wen Tang didn't insist on sending him away anymore, and let him follow at a distance.

The three of them walked together toward the commune's supply and marketing cooperative. As they walked, they heard a woman's voice calling out, "Comrade Gu."

Wen Tang and Chi Yue looked up and saw Luo Tian holding a girl's hand, standing in front of a black car with a middle-aged couple and a young man.

Luo Tian was waving to Gu Yanli with a bright smile.

She also told the people beside her, "Sister, Mom, let me tell you, it's all thanks to this Comrade Gu. If it weren't for him, even if you came today, you wouldn't be able to see me."
