BXBX NOVEL Chapter 112 - 112: Vicious Sister-in-law
Gu Zi felt she couldn’t keep dwelling on this issue. She went to the table in the dining room to prepare a dessert after cooking.
She cut the bean jelly grass into small cubes and placed them in five bowls.
Then, she added raisins, watermelon chunks, crushed peanuts, canned fruit cubes, and finally drizzled a thick layer of honey over it.
She called out to the living room, “Su Bing, Su Li, come get your dessert!” Su Bing was taking care of Su Le; he asked Su Li to come and get theirs.
Su Li, looking at the colorful bowls, was fascinated. Stepmom must have prepared something delicious again!
“Stepmom, what’s this?”
“This is Grass Jelly. Do help yourself to your own bowl; your dad and I will carry the rest.”
Su Li found this proposal excellent, grabbed his bowl, and ran off. Gu Zi and Su Shen carried the remaining bowls over.
Su Li had already taken a spoonful, blinked in amazement, and praised, “It’s cool and refreshing, sweet and fragrant, so delicious!”
Stepmom was amazing; she was like a heavenly fairy, capable of making anything tasty!
Su Shen and Su Bing didn’t fancy sweet things, but because Gu Zi always made many delicious dishes, they were looking forward to this dessert.
After tasting it, both showed surprised expressions. Even for those who didn’t like sweets, this seemed good. Su Bing even took several more bites.
Su Shen asked, “Is this made from the grass we dried in the yard?”
“That’s right. This is made from bean jelly grass. It’s called Grass Jelly,” Gu Zi said, taking another bite. She had not eaten the Grass Jelly in a long time, and today, her craving was finally satisfied.
Su Bing and Su Li felt even more amazed when they heard that. Su Li asked, “Is this really made from the grass we cut? That’s incredible!”
Gu Zi nodded and explained, “This kind of grass can clear heat and toxins and alleviate summer heat. Our ancestors used it to make food early on. It’s perfect to eat at this time of the year. Tomorrow morning, I’ll pack two portions for you to have after lunch.”
Su Li happily clapped, “Thank you, Stepmom!”
Su Bing also expressed his gratitude.
At this time, they heard a familiar voice outside, and Gu Zi recognized it as their neighbor, Aunt Zhang, and her grandson.
“No, no, I won’t go back; I want to see Fairy Sister!” The chubby little boy clung to the gate, locking eyes with Big Yellow from the other side.
Despite Big Yellow’s buzzing warnings, the boy seemed fearless, holding onto the gate stubbornly.
“You little rascal, how shameless! Fairy Sister and the others might still be having dinner,” Zhang Cuihua tried to pull her grandson away, feeling a bit embarrassed.
Gu Zi walked to the door and opened the gate warmly, inviting, “Oh, Aunt
Zhang, come on in!”
As she spoke, she gently touched the boy’s cheek, and the boy instantly laughed happily, calling her Fairy Sister.
Aunt Zhang politely declined a few times but couldn’t budge her grandson, so she reluctantly went in.
“Sit down and watch TV for a while. I’ll get you two two bowls of delicious food,” Gu Zi said.
“Sit down and watch TV for a while; I’ll get you two some delicious treats,” Gu Zi suggested, not waiting for Auntie Zhang to refuse, and went inside. Soon she brought out two bowls of Grass Jelly.
“Auntie Zhang, taste this. This is the dessert I made with the bean jelly grass.”
Su Li quickly added, “Yes, it’s super delicious. You must try it!”
Su Le, who was in Su Bing’s arms, also nodded like Su Li. “Yes, yes, eat!”
Seeing her grandson gobbling up the food like a starving ghost, Aunt Zhang decided to eat it too.
She blushed and said with a smile, “Oh, Lele is getting smarter now. Let’s try it too!”
After a bite, she felt incredibly refreshed, “Similar to jelly, but tastier than jelly.
Gu Zi, you’re really skillful; you can make anything!”
After saying that, Zhang Cuihua suddenly sighed and frowned.
She couldn’t bear injustices and recalled what she heard today. She felt she needed to talk about it now to relieve her thoughts.
This was also the reason why she had insisted on taking her grandson away just now. After all, there was no need to talk about this if she did not see Gu Zi.
“Aunt Zhang, what’s wrong?” Gu Zi asked when she saw her like this.
Zhang Cuihua looked at Su Shen and then at Gu Zi. “Today, I heard some things. I don’t know if speaking about it will damage your family’s relationships, but not speaking of it makes me feel like you’re being unfairly treated. ”
Hearing her say this, Su Shen said, “Auntie, just say it. There’s no need to hold back.”
Zhang Cuihua then revealed what she had heard, “Many people in the village have listened to some malicious slander by Aunt Fang, and they believe you’re a malicious sister-in-law..”
