Gu Chonghua, Wen Ruyu and Gu Yunshen had an ugly expression. Gu Jinfeng shot a look at Gu Qingyao.

Gu Qingyao noticed it and spoke with a smile. “Grandpa, Grandma, Father, don't get angry over such people. It's not worth it. Younger Aunt is back now and nothing is more important than this. With the protection of our family, Younger Aunt and Tingting will not suffer anymore.”

Everyone's expression turned better only after Gu Jinfeng persuaded a while more.

Gu Qingyao had already eaten. Thinking of the sick Mo Chengxu and seeing that the sun had not set, she said, “Grandparents, I will make a trip to the Mo family. There's still a little chicken soup left. I will cook some noodles and bring it to Xiao Xu.”

Gu Chonghua nodded.

Gu Jinfeng wanted Gu Qingyao to send him there but she stopped him and told him to accompany their grandparents at home instead. She went to the kitchen where she took out some chicken soup from her inters.p.a.ce, added some chicken meat and cooked some noodles in the crock.

The chicken soup was warm and the noodles were cooked very quickly. She looked for a pot to contain it and bring it to the Mo family.

The Mo family was not poor especially when Mo Beihan was at home. But once Mo Beihan left, the Mo family's circ.u.mstances changed.

Actually, Jiang Yingqiu was not a petty person who was reluctant to eat or drink good food. When Mo Beihan was home, he would bring many ingredients back and the food in the Mo family was pretty good.

But once Mo Beihan left, Jiang Yingqiu's supplies were incomparable to Mo Beihan.

Although she doted on both grandsons, she felt sorry for her youngest son.

Both her nephews were raised by Mo Beihan and she, herself, was not in good health either. Thus, usually, she would not spend a lot of Mo Beihan's money either.

The snow gradually lightened. With a crock in her hand, Gu Qingyao reached the South Lake Brigade and pa.s.sed through the road that was in the middle of two rows of houses. The Mo family's house was not far ahead.

Then, two young ladies approached her. The older one, Sun Mei, was seventeen years old this year, while the younger, w.a.n.g Li, was fifteen.

The two of them looked at Gu Qingyao with an unfriendly look.

Sun Mei's family status cla.s.s was that of a rich farmer and her family background was very good from the start.

The Sun family clan in the South Lake Brigade was very large. Sun Mei had four biological elder brothers and seven to eight older cousins. She was the only direct female descendant and thus was very doted on in the family.

The Sun family used to work for the Gu family in the past as well and Elder Sun was considered a manager in the Gu family. Thus, the Sun family was rather well-off but was not considered a landlord family either.

When the Gu family was looted, the Sun family rushed into action very enthusiastically. Gu Qingyao remembered that her grandparents said that the Sun family secretly hid away many of the Gu family's treasures back then.

It was thus why this family clearly did not have any hardworking people and did not earn much work points in the South Lake Brigade but the whole family was living well. They had many children and all of them were alive, and even the elderlies were in good health.

During the years when food was extremely rare, they must have survived because they used those treasures from the Gu family and exchanged them for high-priced food in the black market.

And in the previous lifetime, the Sun family indeed became wealthy later on.

In the eighties, someone from the Sun family started a small business which gradually expanded, and the funds were the treasures from the Gu family.

In the early nineties, the Sun family's business reached its peak. At that time, the Sun family auctioned a set of jade articles for over 50,000,000 yuan, supplying them with even more funds.

That set of jade articles was once part of the Gu family's collection.

In the previous lifetime when Mo Beihan was found by and returned to the Mo family in the capital, this Sun Mei still wanted to marry Mo Beihan!

Gu Qingyao's eyes turned cold.

Jealousy filled Sun Mei's eyes as she looked at the new clothes on Gu Qingyao.
