Chapter 126 Comparison
Guan Lei adjusted the dough pressing machine and said, "What's wrong? Doesn't Second Aunt care about Grandma?"
Feng Zhuanxia sneered: "When she was able to move, of course they took care of her. But when they said care, it was just a matter of giving her two bowls of rice. When she collapsed on the kang, they were too lazy to even serve her food."
Guan Lei wanted to ask more, but Zhao Hongcai stood in the yard with a dark face.
"Just keep talking about those old, rotten things. Is the meal ready?"
"almost done."
As Feng Zhuanxia spoke, she began to scrape the potatoes and wash the day lilies, preparing to stir-fry the sauce.
"Hey, you need to practice more, your cooking speed is not good enough."
Guan Lei said that she would practice in the future, but she was very happy in her heart.
Just to make you hungry!
By the time the meal was served, it was almost two o'clock.
Zhao Hongcai's face was as black as the bottom of a pot, and Zhao Lan was not much better.
She said, "Is this for lunch or dinner?"
Guan Lei smiled and said, "Lunch, of course."
"You Guan family have lunch at two o'clock?"
Guan Lei raised her eyebrows and said, "Isn't it normal to eat at two o'clock? My parents are working and sometimes they don't come back until three or four o'clock."
Zhao Hongcai scolded in dissatisfaction: "Shut up, aren't you tired of hearing you keep yelling all day long?"
Feng Zhuanxia picked up the bowl and said, "Eat it all."
Zhao Lan glared at Guan Lei and started eating.
Feng Zhuanxia ate a few bites and said, "Xiaolan, I have chosen the quilt cover, two red and two green. You can take a look at the patterns later to see if you like them. If you don't like them, come and change them with me this afternoon."
Zhao Lan said indifferently: "No, just do whatever you want."
"The matchmaker said that the Zhang family said that they would take you to the county town to buy furniture and jewelry this Saturday. There will be an auspicious day next week, and we can get engaged then."
Zhao Lan frowned and said, "Why is it so troublesome? Can't we buy furniture at the market? Why do we have to go so far?"
"Oh, kid, you are so valued, why don't you know what's good for you? Can the furniture in the county be the same as the furniture in the market? It's up to you to decide what to buy and what kind to buy. Just buy the high-end ones."
Guan Lei felt very uncomfortable.
Very uncomfortable.
Thinking back, the Zhao family never asked her what furniture she wanted to buy.
All the furniture was bought by Zhao Yang.
Although the quality of solid wood furniture is indeed very good, the styles are relatively old.
It wasn't the way she liked it at all.
She felt so upset that she quickly ate a few mouthfuls of rice.
"When you get there, get your hair permed. Buy whatever you want, but try to buy expensive ones. That way, after you marry them, they will pay more attention to you."
Guan Lei felt even more upset.
She even felt a little regretful. Why did she agree to let her mother take 200 yuan less of the betrothal gift?
She ate quickly and wanted to leave as soon as she finished. Zhao Hong drank the last mouthful of soup and threw the bowl on the table.
Guan Lei pretended not to see it.
She is not their nanny, so why should she serve them all the time?
Feng Zhuanxia couldn't help but say, "Leilei, go get your dad some food."
Guan Lei deliberately covered her mouth and retched.
"what happened to you?"
"Mom, I, I feel a little sick."
"It's probably morning sickness. It's been like this for the past two months. Go back to your room and rest for a while. Xiaolan, go serve your dad some food."
Zhao Lan snorted coldly, picked up the bowl, and went out reluctantly.
As Guan Lei stepped out of the door, the phone rang.
Guan Lei deliberately slowed down her pace, wanting to hear who was calling.
Feng Zhuanxia picked up the phone, said a few words and then said, "Leilei, it's Zhao Yang calling. He wants to see you."
Guan Lei picked up the phone, and Zhao Yang's angry voice came out: "Tell me, what's the difference between you and a loser? You can't even do something as simple as buying groceries."
Guan Lei subconsciously covered the receiver and whispered, "Hasn't the food already been bought?"
"You're still playing dumb! Now the entire engineering team knows about it. You really made me proud!"
Guan Lei was very angry. This Guan Youshuang was too shameless. She thought that such a trivial matter was worth telling about and ruining her reputation!
"That's not my fault. The tickets had already been issued. How could I have known that she would suddenly show up at the market?"
"What the hell are you talking about, what tickets?"
Guan Lei was confused.
What ticket?
"It's the receipts used to get food reimbursed. Isn't that what you're talking about?"
"I'm talking about the dishes you chose. Go and see for yourself what they are. Are they food for human consumption? Potatoes are numb and bitter. You're amazing!"
"Those were all chosen by Liu Aidi."
"You're still trying to argue. People say it was your idea. Anyway, don't come to Gujiatai if you don't have anything to do. It's embarrassing."
"Liu Aidi, I just helped bargain, how come I was chosen?"
"Okay, stop talking. Don't I know what you're thinking? But have you ever thought about who would be held responsible if something goes wrong after buying this kind of food?"
It seems that Zhao Yang doesn't know about the invoice.
That's good.
She quickly said: "I'm sorry, I, I..."
The other party has hung up the phone.
When Feng Zhuanxia asked what was going on, she just mumbled a few words and left.
Lying on the bed, Guan Lei became angrier the more she thought about it.
I was angry at Guan Youshuang, Zhao Lan, and also at Liu Aidi.
Especially this Liu Aidi, even though she looks honest, she betrayed you the moment she turned around!
No, that's not right. It must have been Guan Youshuang who instructed her to do this!
It must be.
The air was stuck in her chest and her stomach felt a little uncomfortable, so she stroked her chest and let the air flow smoothly.
Tomorrow, she will go back to her parents' home and visit Liu Qinqin!

After Guan Youshuang returned home and had her meal, she went to pay Liu Aidi for the groceries. Liu Aidi did not lie and said the total amount was 59.6 yuan.
Including 2 yuan for running away fee, Guan Youshuang gave a total of 62 yuan.
Liu Aidi said embarrassedly that all the money was paid by Guan Lei.
"Then just give it to her."
What Liu Aidi didn’t say was that the workers didn’t eat much of the potato and cabbage stew she made today because the potatoes were too spicy, and she was scolded by Zhao Yang.
She had already told him that the dishes were all chosen by Guan Lei, and I guess by now, the words must have reached Guan Lei's ears.
She was timid and afraid of being scolded by Guan Lei when she went to pay back the money!
Guan Youshuang waved her hand and said, "Forget it, there's no need for you to make a trip. Just give it to Zhao Yang directly."
"it is good."
"The workers have all had their meals, right? What's the meal today?"
Liu Aidi didn't dare to speak.
Although Guan Youshuang didn’t see clearly what kind of vegetables they bought at the market today, she guessed it from the look in Liu Aidi’s eyes.
She opened a few bags and looked. The potatoes were small and wilted, and the sprouts were longer than the potatoes.
The cabbage leaves are almost rotten.
There are also black spots all over the beans.
Guan Youshuang said angrily, "How can you bear to feed these workers with this kind of food? Our brother is also working in a construction site in another place to earn money. If you put yourself in his shoes, you wouldn't want him to eat this, right?"
Liu Aidi was so ashamed that she said, "It was Mr. Zhao's wife who insisted on buying these."
"I know. What I mean is that you can refuse. I pay you to buy groceries, so you have an obligation to do it well and not let others control you."
