Chapter 419

Before Miao Cuilan could speak, Gu Qingyao immediately said, “Oh my. I heard that Gu Ruoqing disappeared. They’re both women and don’t have accounts, food nor recommendation. How did they disappear? Are they taken in by a good friend?

“I heard that they stole other people’s things and fled. Auntie Miao, your daughter is so close to her, so when she sees Gu Ruoqing, she should persuade her to return and turn herself in.”

“Shut up…” Miao Cuilan was ultimately a countryside woman with not much knowledge. After the scare by Gu Qingyao, her mind blanked out and she could not say anything.

When Gu Ruoqing disappeared then, there were indeed people who said that she fled after stealing the belongings of other people and even beat people up!

If this was related to Gu Ruoqing, what good could there be?

Snickering, Gu Qingyao ignored Miao Cuilan’s shouts and turned around to head toward the Mo family’s house.

Jiang Yingqiu rarely interacted with those people from the brigade as her husband abandoned them when she was young and she was no different from a widow. This was because there would definitely be more remarks about her if she had more interactions with them.

At present, she was sewing in the comfort of the blankets at home. She ripped many clothes during the autumn harvest and the two kids in the house frequently ripped their clothes as they were at the age where kids were the most mischievous and their playful nature could not be changed even if they were obedient.

During this era, clothes were re-worn all the time. Clothes that were worn a lot of times easily frayed and ripped, thus she would fix these clothes for the kids when she had the time.

The two kids were doing their homework when Gu Qingyao came and Mo Chengrui’s eyes lit up instantly at the sight of Gu Qingyao. “Young Aunt! You’re back!”

Mo Chengxu heard his brother and turned around. The moment he saw his young aunt standing at the door, he sprinted to her.

“Young Aunt!”

Gu Qingyao was delighted and she hugged the little fellow who rushed into her embrace. “Not bad, not bad. You grew taller! Xiao Xu, we did not meet for months. Did you miss me?”

Mo Chengxu nodded repeatedly like a little chick that was pecking at rice grains. “Yes, yes, yes! I missed you every day! Aunt, you did not come for so long, and I miss your food so much! Grandma’s food is not as delicious as yours. Did you go to look for Young Uncle? Did you cook for Young Uncle?”

The last few questions had a hint of jealousy.

Gu Qingyao was ecstatic. This kid was truly too adorable.

“I did not cook for your young uncle to eat. It’s always your young uncle who cooked for me.”

Mo Chengxu did not believe her words. “Really? Would Young Uncle not make you cook for him when you cook such delicious food?”

“Really! It’s all your young uncle who cooked for me!”

“Do you like my Young Uncle a lot then?”

Gu Qingyao: “…”

How was she going to reply to this?

“Tell me quickly! Aunt, do you like my young uncle a lot? He cooks for you every day!”

Gu Qingyao looked at the kid whose bright, clear eyes were so innocent. What the kid meant when he said “like” was actually the very simple kind of “like”, right?

It was definitely not what she was thinking about.

Thus she smiled in reply, “Yes! Your young uncle is very nice to me. Of course I like him!”

Mo Chengxu’s eyes brightened and he tugged Gu Qingyao’s hands. “Then… Xiao Xu will cook for you, all right? I’ll cook for you when I grow up. Aunt, don’t like Young Uncle anymore and like me instead! I will treat you well too.”

Gu Qingyao: “…”

“Pfft…” Mo Chengrui erupted in laughter.
