Transmigrated into the fat wife of the future prime minister

Chapter 122 The dust has settled
Gu Yunyi glanced at the crowd but didn't see anything. He then looked at County Commandant Liu and bowed to the onlookers, saying, "Fellow villagers, today's events were truly a last resort. Now that things have come to this, I hope you will not publicize this matter any further."

Everyone waved their hands, indicating that they wouldn't say anything out of turn.

Gu Yunyi's move not only silenced the accusations of filial impiety leveled against him by those behind the scenes, but also further enhanced his reputation.

Although everyone nodded in agreement, there were still many comments outside, but they were all praising the Gu family, and no one mentioned Gu Yunyi's unfilial behavior anymore.

Regardless of the outside world's turmoil, Gu Family Restaurant remains as peaceful as ever.

Although Gu Yunyi handled the matter well, Madam He still gave him a severe scolding. After all, moving the grave was such a big deal, yet he did it all by himself without even informing her and Mengniang. Madam He was very upset about this, feeling that her son had grown up and she was no longer the matriarch of the family.

Knowing he was in the wrong, Gu Yunyi just smiled and remained silent, letting Madam He scold him for a long time and even hit him a few times before Madam He finally felt relieved and snorted coldly: "From now on, all the housework will be yours, and the pots and pans will also be yours."

Gu Yunyi rubbed the spot where he had been hit and quickly nodded in agreement, which made Xu Qingmeng and the others cover their mouths and laugh.

With this matter resolved, everyone in the Gu family breathed a sigh of relief and returned to their daily routines.

The next day, Gu Yunyi returned from outside, entered the courtyard, and went straight to the kitchen, where Xu Qingmeng was preparing lunch.

Now that Gu Family Restaurant is on track, Xu Qingmeng doesn't need to do anything. He Shi, Tang Saozi, and Li Shenzi can handle everything. They only need to go to Jinxiuxuan occasionally.

Xu Qingmeng no longer needs to worry about what happened before. She has a rare appetite again, so she plans to cook something delicious for lunch to treat herself and calm her nerves after the recent events.

The two children went out to play, and Xinting was still at Jinxiuxuan. She wouldn't be back for lunch, so only Xu Qingmeng was in the kitchen.

Seeing Gu Yunyi come in, Xu Qingmeng said, "Perfect timing, come and help me watch the fire, I won't get involved."

She was holding a basin in one hand and a spatula in the other, making pancakes.

Gu Yunyi didn't speak, but walked over, stirred the fire, added half a piece of firewood, and finally looked up at her.

Since learning that Xu Qingmeng was pregnant, her family has been making her eat more and nourish herself. After losing weight, even now that she is pregnant, apart from her slightly protruding belly, her waist is still very slender.

Her beautiful face, now a little fuller, appeared more radiant, and with the added glow of motherhood, she was even more captivating.

After Xu Qingmeng lost weight, Gu Yunyi naturally knew how beautiful she was, but it seemed he had never really looked at her closely before. Now, seeing her more clearly, it's no wonder that a noble young master like Lin Yichen...
"What are you daydreaming about? What are you thinking about?" The pancake was ready, and she cut it into four pieces with a knife. She then tore one of the pieces in half, put one piece into her own mouth, and handed the other piece to Gu Yunyi.

Gu Yunyi was very satisfied. He took a bite and found that although it was just a simple scallion pancake, it was extremely fragrant and soft. Once he took a bite, he couldn't stop.

"Really delicious."

Then, looking at Xu Qingmeng, he said, "The family genealogy we have in our clan still needs some improvement. In any case, we'll have roots to trace in the future. Do you want to come with me to Shiqing Village later?" Xu Qingmeng didn't really care that much about the clan, but she knew that it was important to have roots to follow local customs, so she nodded.

Although she had no idea about it, she was quite interested in Shiqing Village. Since transmigrating, she hadn't been anywhere except Xujia Village, so she nodded in agreement.

"I heard that Shiqing Village is neither close nor far from Quan County, but it is separated by a large river. Is this village really isolated from the world? If so, how do the villagers make a living?"

Seeing her interest in this, Gu Yunyi, who had also been there a few times, explained,

"Shiqing Village is not truly isolated from the world. Although the river is somewhat wide, it is not too wide. There are ferrymen on the river, but it also floods in the summer. The village also has farmland. In recent years, the weather has been favorable, so they are able to make a living."

It doesn't seem too difficult from this perspective. It's true that Old Master Gu hasn't been back many times in the past few years, so it's not that there are any conditions that prevent him from going back.

However, it seems that Gu Hongxin has never gone back either. Xu Qingmeng glanced at Gu Yunyi and thought that this talk of returning to one's roots was just nonsense.

Gu Yunyi noticed Xu Qingmeng's suspicion, and then chuckled:

What are you thinking about? Father and grandfather both dreamed of returning home in glory when they were young. However, grandfather finally achieved success while he was alive, only to pass away unexpectedly. Later, grandmother couldn't bear the grief and followed him, leaving behind my still-young father.

But as you know, before you moved in, the Gu Family Restaurant was just a place to live. It didn't make much money under your father's management; it wasn't even enough to cover the family's expenses, let alone allow us to return to our hometown.

Xu Qing thought about it and agreed. Otherwise, in the original book, Madam He wouldn't have considered selling the house. In the end, it was because the family didn't have enough money, since Gu Hongxin's cooking skills were only so-so.

Xu Qingmeng and Gu Yunyi were chatting idly. Gu Yunyi ate and talked at the same time. When Madam He and the two little ones came over, Xu Qingmeng turned around and found that the pancakes she had just made were all gone.

She stared at the empty plate, at Yun Sheng and Yun Mo with longing eyes, and then looked up at Gu Yunyi, who was slowly eating the last bite, and was dumbfounded.

Why is this person having such a good appetite today? Isn't she the one with the good appetite normally?
Looking at it, Madam He smiled and said, "It seems that Yunyi has already eaten his fill today. He probably won't be able to eat any more of this stewed goose later."

Gu Yunyi was stunned after hearing this: "This..."

Xu Qingmeng chuckled and lifted the lid of the large pot beside her: "An old man who sells geese came to the shop for breakfast this morning. My mother saw it and bought one. It's a pity, though, because it won't keep. It will spoil by evening."

Gu Yunyi looked resentful: "Why didn't you tell me earlier?"

"I...I didn't even notice you ate so many pancakes! You've never seemed to like these pancakes that much before!"

This made Yun Sheng extremely happy, and she proudly raised her chin at Gu Yunyi, her expression full of smugness!
"Get out!"
