At night, after eating her fill, Li Fangting burrowed under the blankets and slept next to Gu Yunshuang. She touched the soft cotton blanket on her. It was no longer the Li family's blanket, which was so thin that it was almost weightless.
"Mom …"
She looked up at Gu Yunshuang with a blissful expression. "Cousin said that she's getting engaged in a few days and she's going to make me a new set of clothes to wear."
Gu Yunshuang patted her head. "You have to get along well with your cousin in the future. Your cousin is smart and sensible. You have to learn from her, okay?"
"Okay!" Li Fangting nodded obediently.
That night, Gu Qingyao stayed in the interspace, practicing her calligraphy and drawing. She wrote a lot of words, but none of them were satisfactory.
In the end, she threw her brush in anger and stopped writing altogether!
She was upset and full of resentment. She would feel terrible if she didn't go and settle the score with the Li family!
The next morning, when Gu Qingyao woke up, she realized that Li Fangting was cleaning the courtyard with a big broom.
There was still snow on the ground. The courtyard had been cleared a little before, and several important roads in the Gu family's courtyard were paved with stone slabs. This little girl was using a big broom to clear the snow around her.
"Tingting!" Gu Qingyao called out.
Li Fangting turned her head and smiled. "Cousin, you're awake! I'll go get some water for you to wash your face. Breakfast is ready, it's time to eat! "
Gu Qingyao was stunned. She went to the kitchen to take a look. Indeed, there was hot water on the stove. There was mixed grain porridge in the pot, and cornbread was on top of it.
During the New Year, she had made a lot of cornbread and some steamed buns. She just had to steam them to heat them up.
Before Gu Qingyao could say anything, Li Fangting had already filled the basin with hot water. After adding cold water, it was just right.
"Cousin, wash your face first. Grandpa and Grandma will be able to eat when they wake up later."
Li Fangting's little face was filled with excitement.
It's breakfast!
She had never eaten breakfast in the Li family. The few times she ate breakfast, it was for her brothers. She had never eaten it before.
Last night, she heard from her cousin that she would make breakfast this morning. She even asked what she wanted to eat, and her cousin said that she would wake up early this morning to make breakfast.
This was her grandmother's house. She could still eat here.
Gu Qingyao looked at the little thing in front of her. Even though it was a little bloated from hunger, it still wasn't that big.
It was obvious that this child was used to doing such things in the Li family.
Damn it!
Gu Qingyao gritted her teeth. If she didn't beat up that old woman, she wouldn't be in a good mood for her engagement.
"Tingting, this is Grandma's house, not the Li family's house. You don't have to wake up so early in the future. Look, it's only dawn. Grandma and the others won't wake up so early because it's too early to see them working in the cowshed, okay?"
"In the future, I'll have Cousin to cook for me! Grandma knows how to cook too. And when your mother recovers, she'll cook too. You just have to help. Children shouldn't wake up so early all day. If you work too much and tire yourself out, you won't be able to grow tall. "
Li Fangting stood there and listened to Gu Qingyao speak. She listened for a long time, but in the end, she only replied with four words: "Thank you, Cousin!"
Gu Qingyao's heart ached even more.
On the evening of the seventh day of the New Year, Mo Beihan came to look for Gu Qingyao. He told her that Old Madam Li had gone out that day and would only be home at night. Moreover, she was alone.
Gu Qingyao was stunned.
Mo Beihan laughed. "If I don't take you to vent your anger, I can't bear to see you in such a bad mood when we got engaged!"
