The Delicate Darling with Her Rough Man novel Chapter 697

Chapter 697: Chapter 693: Sun Yeshu Listens to Gossip

Chen Beiguo wasn’t very sophisticated; he didn’t know much about life’s finer things.

In this era, just getting enough to eat was hard. Even with a pot of wild vegetable congee, you couldn’t eat your fill. Who had the leisure to ponder its flavor?

Anyway, to him, the food Gu Zhiqing made was simply delicious—the best he’d ever had. He started shoveling food into his mouth even faster.

Leng Yuan was also enjoying his meal.

In the second branch of the Leng Family, Sun Yeshu wasn’t working because she was pregnant.

She hadn’t worked much back at the Sun family’s home, either. Having married into the large Leng Family and gotten pregnant so soon after, her mother-in-law was pleased and excused her from work. Her only responsibility was cooking lunch.

The Leng Family house had been built by Leng Yuan’s father. It was located near the western entrance of the village, with neighbors on both sides and across from them.

Their home didn’t have a wattle fence but walls built from stone and mud, which looked more impressive.

When it was time to make lunch, Sun Yeshu went to the backyard to pick some vegetables.

In those days, everyone ate vegetables they grew themselves; no one went out to buy them.

When Sun Yeshu reached their private plot, she saw two neighboring aunties huddled together, chatting.

She pursed her lips. ’These old women just gossip about everyone’s business all day long. They even have to chat for a bit while making lunch. They must have too much time on their hands.’

She picked two green onions and pulled up two eggplants. Today for lunch, she would stir-fry the eggplant and make some dough drop soup.

This dough drop soup wasn’t made with pure white flour, but a mix of cornmeal and white flour. Even so, it was considered a rare delicacy in the countryside.

If it weren’t for the fact that so many people in the family earned work points, they wouldn’t be able to eat this well.

Just as she was thinking about how delicious the dough drop soup would be, she heard the two aunties whispering.
