169 Chapter 169 New Year (5)

Soon, dinner was ready. Zhou Ying got up and helped to set the table.

After the meal was served, they were divided into two tables, as usual, men and women.

After the dishes were served, Madam Qiao instantly recognized the dishes Zhou Ying had brought and then said to Mrs. Yao on the side, “Give me some of each of the three dishes Zhou Ying had brought. I want to see if her cooking has improved.”

“Alright, just sit tight.” Mrs. Yao stood up and handed her a portion of each dish. Of course, she also gave her and her daughter-in-law a portion.

When everyone saw this, they immediately took some too. It was mainly because Mrs. Guo and Mrs. Sun’s dishes were ordinary, and everyone had long been tired of eating them. When they saw a more delicious option, they naturally didn’t hesitate.

Zhou Ying didn’t join in the fun but ate the other dishes.

Of course, another person did not participate in the snatching. It was the pregnant Mrs. Yang. However, she had a mother-in-law to serve her, making her attitude high and mighty. It was as if she were no different from their previous lives.

It was the same for the men’s table with Zhou Ying’s food finishing the fastest. Zhou Chengye picked up the last bit of yellow croaker and said, “Chengrui is sure blessed. Sister-in-law’s dishes are getting better and better.”

“Yes, it’s better than the meal we had at noon.” Second Uncle Gu nodded in agreement.

“To be honest, whether it’s delicious or not is mostly due to the seasoning. The seasoning for lunch is simple, but these dishes are made in a restaurant with enough prep.” Gu Chengrui said so proudly.

How could he not be proud? His wife started cooking when she was eight years old and could make all kinds of dishes. Maybe some dishes weren’t as good as those prepared by professional chefs, as she hadn’t obtained authentic recipes, but her skills were definitely at the level of a chef.

Everyone was speechless after looking at his smug expression as they remembered his cold attitude towards her before.

They hadn’t expected that his attitude would take a turn after a few months. If they weren’t sure that he hadn’t been replaced, they would have thought he was entirely someone else.

They didn’t know they had found the truth, but this truth was completely buried in the ground.

Among them, Gu Chengzhi was the one with the most mixed feelings. Honestly, he had looked down on the couple before, especially regarding status.

He was the son of his father’s first wife, and his wife was the daughter of a government official. They were the best in the family.

On the other hand, one of them was an illegitimate son who had lost his biological mother, while the other was an illegitimate daughter the family completely ignored. They were born with statues that were worlds apart.

But in the end, Gu Chengzhi had to work hard daily to earn just 20 copper coins to support the family, while his wife stayed home to take care of the baby.

As for the other couple, one was a respected doctor, and the other was raking in money. They were thriving and completely different from before.

Thinking of this, he couldn’t help but look at his wife, Mrs. Yang. As expected, she still looked aloof from the reality they were in.

Gu Chengzhi thought about the child in her stomach, and he suddenly had a headache. He couldn’t afford to have a child with just 20 copper coins daily, and he had to think of a way to start a business.

“Chengrui, do you have any plans after the new year?” Father Gu asked.

“You mean in that aspect?”

“It’s the thing that the clan members mentioned about bringing everyone along to do. This can be big or small, but you must handle it well.”

“Yes, yes. Even if you refuse, you have to be tactful about doing it. Otherwise, you will offend the others.” Second Uncle Gu chimed in.

Gu Chengzhi and Gu Chengye, originally unconcerned about their conversation, immediately perked up their ears and listened.

“Ying and I have already thought about this.”

“Oh, how do you guys plan to solve this?” Father Gu asked curiously. At the same time, he was also looking forward to their idea, hoping it would be useful to him.
