Chapter 151: Banquet

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Gu Yundong could tell that Nanny Qian had become hostile ever since Gu Xian’er returned. She turned around and said to the others, “Everyone is here to congratulate my family for building a new house. I like whatever they give me.”

The villagers, who had been shocked by the gift from the Peng family, immediately laughed.

Feng Daneng thought, no wonder the village chief said that this girl’s words made him feel comfortable.

Nanny Qian’s smile stiffened slightly. Gu Yundong greeted her with a smile. “There are many people today. I’m so busy that my feet don’t even touch the ground. Please forgive me if I’m lacking in hospitality. Nanny, please help yourself.”

Nanny Qian nodded with a smile. Seeing that Gu Yundong had gone to another table, she sat down again and asked Gu Xian’er, “Didn’t you say that she’s your cousin? But she doesn’t sound like she came from the countryside at all.”

Gu Xian’er bit her lip slightly. “My uncle studied when he was young, so my cousin learned a few words with him.”

So that was how it was. No wonder she spoke eloquently as if she was afraid that others would not know that she could speak a few idioms. The more she lacked something, the more she wanted to show off.

At this moment, everyone had already sat down. Shao Qingyuan was sitting not far from Granny Qian’s table. Liu Wei was familiar with him, so he naturally sat at the same table as him.

Sixth Grandfather and the village chief were the most senior and prestigious people in the village. They naturally had to accompany Liu Wei, an esteemed guest from the city, so they sat at this table.

The others also wanted to sit, especially Madam Fang and her daughter. There were a few times when they wanted to go to Liu Wei’s side to greet him, but when they saw that Shao Qingyuan was around, they did not dare to.

Therefore, this table was inexplicably much quieter. Chen Liang and the Sixth Grandfather were quite friendly to Shao Qingyuan and would occasionally chat with him during the meal.

The dishes were served very quickly, and most of them were hard dishes. The villagers no longer cared about the Liu and Peng families. All of them reached out their chopsticks to pick up the meat with glowing faces.

Nanny Qian brought two maidservants and sat with Madam Fang and her daughter.

In fact, she could have left after delivering the gifts. However, after hearing Gu Xian’er’s words, she could not help but sit a little longer.

When the meat dishes were first served, she wanted to move her chopsticks. However, before she could move, the others at the table had already begun to snatch the dishes crazily.

Nanny Qian’s chopsticks stopped in midair. She could neither reach forward nor retract them.

Gu Xian’er, who was beside her, was enjoying the food. She was a servant in the Peng family. Although she did not have to eat like she did when she was escaping, she still had to snatch food when it was time to eat. She did not have a background or ability, so she could only eat the leftovers.

How could Gu Xian’er let go of such a rare hard dish?

However, Nanny Qian could not stay any longer. Halfway through the meal, she still went to say goodbye to Gu Yundong.

Gu Xian’er couldn’t bear to leave, but there was nothing she could do. She stuffed two pieces of meat into her mouth forcefully before wiping her mouth and standing up.

“Wait for me outside. I’ll go tell the master.” She had originally wanted to bring Gu Xian’er along, but after half a day, she could tell that Gu Yundong and her cousin did not have a good relationship. Otherwise, why did she not even say a word to Gu Xian’er?

Gu Xian’er and the other servant girl could only wait outside. However, the little girl was in a hurry to go to the toilet and left Gu Xian’er alone at the door.

Gu Xian’er secretly sneered. “Lazy people have a lot of feces and urine.” As she spoke, she clasped her hands. It was really cold.

She did not even have two pieces of clothing on her, but Gu Yundong could live so well. Just thinking about it made her feel unbalanced.

“Are you Gu Yundong’s cousin?”

Suddenly, an unfamiliar voice came from behind..
