Transmigrated into the fat wife of the future prime minister

Chapter 259 The daughter-in-law supports the family and is proud of it.
"Mother, Mengniang, I'm fine. It's just that it looks scary. I'll listen to Uncle."

Xu Qingmeng understood and accepted what her uncle had taught her.

Madam He glanced at Pei Cheng and then, without hesitation, followed Pei Cheng's instructions to help Gu Yunyi to sit down in the front hall, with Yunmo following behind.

Gu Yunyi was somewhat exhausted. Sitting in the chair, he was no longer the composed and elegant man he had been before. His whole body exuded a sense of limpness and weakness.

After all, Mrs. He was a mother. Although her son and brother said they were fine, she still had a lot of worries in her eyes and felt that she should find a doctor to take a look before she would feel at ease.

Xu Qingmeng looked at Gu Yunyi and thought the same thing. Although her uncle said there was no problem, his appearance was still a bit scary.

Xu Qingmeng then looked at Pei Cheng, who was sitting there slowly eating his breakfast. Looking at him like that, He Shi really wanted to beat him up. Of course, she also understood that her younger brother was doing it for Yun Yi's own good. After all, the time when the two of them were injured had really frightened her.

Gu Yunyi paused for a moment, then gave Xu Qingmeng and Madam He a reassuring smile.

"Mom, I'm really fine. You all go and eat. I want to talk to my uncle for a bit."

"Are you really alright?" Mrs. He asked.

"It's really okay."

"Alright, you two chat. There are maids and servants outside. Just call them if you need anything."

"Ah."

Before leaving, Madam He glared at Pei Cheng. Pei Cheng, who was usually so honest, immediately reverted to his previous self as soon as Madam He left, looking at his weak nephew and saying, "How can you protect your mother and wife like this? If outsiders find out that the Pei family is so weak, won't they laugh themselves to death?"

Gu Yunyi stared at the person in front of him, speechless: "For the first half of my life, I didn't even know I was a member of the Pei family?"

Pei Cheng was choked and couldn't answer for a moment. He could only look at him resentfully. This nephew is all grown up and no fun. Yun Mo is much better. Then he started eating breakfast. Xu Qingmeng's cooking skills are really good, especially the spicy cabbage and pickled vegetables, which are really delicious.

"You may not be a very likable young man, but you did marry a good wife. Her cooking skills are truly exceptional."

“That’s true. Before, when I was in Quan County, I was considered a sickly person by everyone. I probably wouldn’t have lived more than two months. After Mengniang married into the family, she took care of the household business and was very good to her younger siblings. She also took care of me, who couldn’t do anything. This love and care is truly my good fortune.”

Pei Cheng wanted to curse after hearing this, even though it was his own nephew.

"You really are a member of the Pei family. Even your personality is just like your uncle's, making your own incompetence sound so self-righteous."

He does nothing himself, leaving everything to his wife. He's shameless enough to say he's lucky, recalling that his older brother was the same way back then.

“Yunyi, have you thought about it? You definitely have to go to the Pei family. Your maternal grandmother is old and has been blaming herself for losing your mother. Her only wish is to see your mother again.”

“Uncle, I care about the honor bestowed upon the Pei family. Although I am only a minor scholar now, I believe that I can make my mother live a good life in the future. I suppose you don’t know, but Pei Qingwan has always known that my mother is alive. So many things have happened in our Gu family, and she must be involved in them. She just doesn’t want us to go to the capital…” Gu Yunyi didn’t finish his sentence, but although Pei Cheng was a rough man, as a member of the Pei family, how could he be ignorant? He understood immediately.

“Of course, now that Mother has acknowledged you, she will surely return. Whatever decision Mother makes, I will support her. If Pei Qingwan does something else, then I will also…”

Pei Cheng glared at him. "Don't tell me to worry about things. The academy exam is what you should be thinking about now. You don't need to worry about anything else."

Once Pei Cheng said this, Gu Yunyi understood the Pei family's attitude towards his mother, so naturally he wouldn't stop them.

After a brief chat, she began to seriously discuss with Gu Yunyi how to improve his physical fitness at home, and asked him to bring Yunmo along with him.

Xu Qingmeng and Madam He came to the backyard and were eating breakfast. Xu Qingmeng said to Mengniang, "No, I think we still need to find a doctor. Your uncle has been in the army for many years, so he is very strong and thick-skinned. He will definitely be fine with some external injuries. But Yunyi is different. He is just a weak scholar. How can he withstand it? You know, he is not a good uncle. He doesn't care about his nephew at all. Yunyi was injured in the arm before, and it was Xu Qingmeng who saved him. He didn't know how to be gentle with his hands."

"Mother, it's alright. Uncle will definitely know what's going on. Let's eat." After finishing their meal, Pei Cheng said goodbye to Madam He and returned to the camp. After all, there were still many things waiting for him to deal with. He said he had been quite busy lately and wouldn't be coming to the Gu family's place.

Upon hearing this, Madam He quickly packed a lot of pickled vegetables and chili oil made by Xu Qingmeng for him to take with him. Although Pei Cheng lacked nothing, he was someone who was loved by his older sister, and his happy expression was evident.

The Gu family watched him disappear quickly into the crowd before turning back.

The Gu family members weren't excited about climbing the social ladder; they continued to do what they were supposed to do as usual.

As the year drew closer to the New Year, Xu Qingmeng suddenly craved fried chicken. She made it on a whim, never shortchanging herself when it came to food.

There was chicken in the kitchen. First, I took it out, removed the skin and fat, then deboned the chicken and minced it. Then I added seasonings and a little starch, mixed it well, and set it aside for later use.

Xu Qingmeng then took an empty bowl, added an appropriate amount of flour, starch, and bluestone, and stirred it into a paste. Meanwhile, the minced chicken on the side had already absorbed the flavors.

Scoop out the chicken from the bowl, pat it into pieces, dip it in batter, and fry it slowly over low heat.

After frying it a second time, Xu Qingmeng's fried chicken nuggets were ready. Looking at the golden-brown fried chicken nuggets in front of her, they looked very tempting. Without hesitation, she fried all the remaining chicken in the bowl.

There are two children in the family, plus a little baby; there simply aren't enough to eat if there aren't enough.

Yun Sheng, the little foodie, had already run over the moment Xu Qingmeng finished frying the food, asking, "Sister-in-law, what are you doing?"

"Chicken nuggets."

Regardless of whether it was hot or not, he picked up a piece and put it in his mouth. "Ouch, it's so hot..." But because it was so delicious, tender and juicy, he couldn't bear to spit it out even though it was hot.

"Slow down, there's so much!"

Xu Qingmeng then picked up a piece and put it in her mouth. It was delicious, but she felt like something was missing.
