Chapter 2971 Feng Xiaoqin confronts Gu Qingyu!

"Sister, it's me!"

"Oh, Xiaoqin, is there something you need?"

Gu Qingyu disliked Feng Xiaoqin, his sister-in-law, for every single reason, not to mention that she had an illegitimate child.
She's intelligent and shrewd; she probably has all the brains that the Gu family has!
Having long seen through Feng Xiaoqin's scheme, Gu Qingyu specifically investigated her background to prevent her from harming Gu Lei.

But to make matters worse, what Gu Qingyu truly couldn't accept was Feng Xiaoqin's past "dark history"—her willingness to become pregnant out of wedlock at such a young age—rather than her impoverished family background.

However, Feng Xiaoqin concealed her past from Gu Lei, and Gu Qingyu did not expose her. Surprisingly, her younger brother was quite fond of Feng Xiaoqin. Given Gu Lei's mild-mannered personality, it would not be easy for him to find a wife. It was rare for a woman like Feng Xiaoqin to take the initiative to pursue Gu Lei, which allowed him to successfully fall in love, get married, and have children.

So even though Gu Qingyu was very dissatisfied with Feng Xiaoqin, she could only comfort herself that at least Feng Xiaoqin had not broken the law or committed any crimes, as long as Feng Xiaoqin could live a good life with Gu Lei.

Gu Qingyu could turn a blind eye to the fact that she had an illegitimate child before marriage, and even occasionally came to ask for favors as if it were charity.

"Sister, I..."

"Xiaoqin, I have to go to a meeting right away, so I'll hang up now!" Gu Qingyu's attitude was so bad because Feng Xiaoqin had made a huge fuss a couple of days ago.

He asked to borrow 3 yuan without even opening his mouth!
Do you really think she's an ATM?

"Beep beep beep!" Feng Xiaoqin, who heard the busy tone on the phone, didn't expect that before she could even question her sister-in-law Gu Qingyu, she would hang up the phone.

He was furious...

"Okay, I understand, sis!"

"Do not worry!"

"I understand."

After hanging up his sister's call, Gu Lei spent the afternoon idly, and it was soon time to get off work.

As a typical "cowardly man", the original owner naturally did not have a car, but it was okay, it only took five subway stops from the company to home.

"Lei Lei is back!"

"Uncle Zhang, let's go buy groceries!"

The Gu family has three bedrooms, but it houses six people across four generations. This house is one of the first batch of commercial housing in Shanghai. Although it is relatively old, at least the location is very good.

Most of them are old neighbors; the original owner's family has lived here since birth, and they've been neighbors for decades.

However, this house has its advantages and disadvantages. For example, the biggest disadvantage is that there is no elevator, and the residents are a mixed group.

The corridor was piled with all sorts of clutter, the stairwell was particularly dirty and messy, and even the lights would break down from time to time. Not to mention the soundproofing, you could hear your neighbors whispering to each other.

"Dad, Grandma, I'm back!" Gu Lei opened the door and changed into slippers at the entrance. To the left of the entrance was a cabinet, and to the right of the wall were hooks.

Take off your clothes and hang them directly on it.

There's also a cabinet with different heights, where you can put bags and keys on the countertop and casually put your keys inside.

"You're back. Are you hungry?" Grandma Gu especially loved this chubby grandson. He had grown up by her side since he was a baby, and he was quite well-behaved and obedient, much better than her eldest son's grandson.

The living room is the main activity area for the whole family. It is quite spacious, with the sofa not against the wall, forming an enclosed layout suitable for the whole family to gather together and chat. A tea tray is placed on the coffee table in the middle, satisfying Gu Shihong's usual love of drinking tea.

Two table lamps are placed on the tables on either side of the sofa, making it convenient to read newspapers and magazines while sitting on the sofa. A telephone is also installed next to it, so you can answer calls easily while sitting on the sofa.

There are three cabinets against the wall at the back: a storage cabinet on the far left, a chest of drawers in the middle, and a glass bookcase on the far right, which can display items without collecting dust.

A glass door was installed between the balcony and the living room to ensure a sense of openness. Clothes were hung to dry on the top, and flower racks were placed below. Various beautiful flowers and plants not only looked at them but also helped Gu Shihong, who was retired at home, pass the time. "Grandma, are you hungry?" Gu Lei didn't see Feng Xiaoqin in the kitchen and immediately understood what was going on.

This is a way of asserting sovereignty by not cooking!

"I'm not hungry. Your dad took Little Tiger out to eat. He said he'd bring me back osmanthus cake. Tell your dad what you want to eat." Grandma Gu is in very good health. She's almost 90, but her eyesight is still fine. She's watching a local TV drama in Shanghai with great interest.

"No, Grandma, eating pastries at night won't make your stomach feel comfortable. How about I make you some wontons instead?"

Upon hearing this, the great-aunt's cloudy eyes flashed with surprise. When did her eldest grandson learn to cook?
Gu Lei naturally noticed the old lady's suspicious look, but he didn't explain and walked directly towards the kitchen.

For a large family, the kitchen must be highly functional; two rows of cabinets, one above the other, handle most of the needs.
Kitchenware storage: frequently used seasonings are placed directly on the countertop, a drain rack is designed next to the large double sink, and cleaning tools are hung directly on the wall for easy access. Although there are many items, it is organized despite the apparent chaos.

On the other side of the cabinet countertop, appliances such as a bread maker, microwave, and rice cooker are placed, and the refrigerator is placed next to it, making it easy to access ingredients.

Gu Lei took the beef out of the refrigerator, then chopped the filling and kneaded the dough. Before long, two bowls of fragrant wontons were served on the table.

"Grandma, stop watching TV and eat first!"

"Oh dear, I have to try the wontons my eldest grandson made. Your dad is out of luck!" Grandma Gu stood up from the sofa and walked over.

Although she's almost 90, this old lady is young at heart; she'll get upset if anyone tries to help her.

A six-seater table in the restaurant is just right for a family to dine at, and the open design makes it bright and easy for people to interact.

Grandma Gu picked up the soup spoon, took a bite, and praised him without saying a word. "Leilei, your cooking is really good!"

"Then you should eat more~" Gu Lei said, and sat down to eat wontons.

Behind him were various cabinets, a triangular shelf in the corner, a low cabinet against the wall, and a wall cabinet embedded in the wall, all crammed full, exuding a sense of everyday life.

When guests arrive, this long table can be easily converted into a large round table. There is a buffer zone between the kitchen and the dining room, as well as a piano and a desk for practicing calligraphy.

After the grandmother and grandson finished eating the wontons, Gu Shihong took his grandson home, still carrying the pastries he had bought for his elderly mother.

"Mom, are you hungry?"

"Shihong, I've finished eating all the wontons Leilei made!" the old lady boasted to her son.

"Oh, really!" Gu Shihong was quite surprised that his son could cook.

"Daddy~" The chubby little tiger was very happy, holding a toy in its hand.

"Okay, go back to your room and do your homework!" Gu Lei patted his son's head.

"Oh, you two chat, I'm going downstairs for a stroll!" Grandma Gu got up and prepared to leave.

Gu Shihong quickly stepped forward to help him. "I'll go with you!"

The old lady was displeased with this. "No, no, no, I'm not so old that I need someone to help me!"

"Mom, you..."

Gu Lei stopped his father, then smiled at the old lady and said, "Grandma, why don't you let Little Tiger go with you? This child definitely isn't in the mood to do his homework right now!"

The little tiger was overjoyed to hear that he could go out and play!
They were jumping around in the house!
"Bang!" With the sound of the door closing, the elderly mother left with her grandson.
