Rebirth: Divine Doctor, Sweet Wife

The two fish were so big that when they cut the fish into small pieces, there was really a lot. Gu Qingyao filled their bowls one by one. She put a piece of fish in each bowl, then added tofu and mushrooms.

“Be careful of the fish bones! Go look for your adults.”

She scooped fish soup for the older children and pepper soup for the younger children. The children’s eyes were fixed on their bowls.

What good food!

So much? And there was meat?

To children of this era, free food, especially such good food which contained meat, was a luxury.

The adults nearby could hardly believe it.

The Gu family had said… actually, it was Mo Beihan who had told the brigade there would be food at the Gu house on the day of the engagement, but no banquet.

No banquet meant they did not need to share the expense. If they received food for free, then they were here simply to share their joy!

Everyone was lavish with their praise whenever there was an advantage to be had. They knew that Mo Beihan had given all these things, so they all complimented Gu Qingyao for marrying the right man.

And how outstanding Mo Beihan was and so on.

The Gu house was bustling that day, and many important guests had arrived. Many brigade members had come, including Gu Ruoqing and Chen Honghua.

Chen Honghua was green with envy when she saw Gu Qingyao’s set of new clothes.

Chen Honghua was very vain. She looked down on all the other young girls in the brigade, and felt that she was the prettiest. One of the reasons why she hated Gu Qingyao was because the latter was prettier than her.

But Gu Qingyao came from a poor background, so Chen Honghua felt superior to her. Chen Honghua felt resentful when she saw Gu Qingyao’s grand engagement. Also, she was getting engaged to Mo Beihan, whom Chen Honghua had always liked.

“She looks like a vixen. No wonder she can seduce men!” Chen Honghua said angrily.

Gu Ruoqing pursed her lips. Although she knew in her heart that she would soon be a city girl, and Gu Qingyao could not compare with her, she could not help but feel jealous when she saw how grand Gu Qingyao was.

“The Mo family is so poor, there’s no need to create a fuss over them.”

Chen Honghua disliked these words, but because Gu Ruoqing had targeted them at Gu Qingyao, she just frowned and let it go.

She recalled that in recent times, Gu Ruoqing continually told her that she would marry someone in the city, get a job, and earn a monthly salary without needing to do chores…

When she thought of it, it was indeed something to aspire to!

But Mo Beihan… could not provide these things!

Everyone kept quiet when they heard the two young girls’ words. They had eaten the Gu family’s food so of course they could not criticize the Gu family.

Gu Qingyao had also seen the two girls. She glanced at them. She did not mind Chen Honghua. Although that girl had often made fun of her in her past life, she bore her no grudge. She continued to focus on Gu Ruoqing.

She glanced at Gu Ruoqing with amusement.

It was an amused look, but it gave Gu Ruoqing chills. A chill climbed up her spine and she shuddered.

How strange!

Gu Qingyao had only glanced at her before looking away. She wanted to be a city girl?

It wouldn’t be that easy!

The two tables at noon had salvaged the Gu family’s reputation. There were so many guests. This was the first time that the Gu family displayed their “power” in the Qing River Brigade. When they remembered that the Gu family were doctors and treated everyone in the surrounding villages, everyone naturally appraised them differently.

As long as the Gu family existed and had a good life, the rest of them would benefit.
