Chapter 943: Chapter 943 Geng Family Gossip

Tiong Shulan brought over two bowls of egg custard and two bowls of meat porridge, "Qiaoqiao, come, let’s feed the little ones first and see what they like?"

Luo Qiao looked at the dishes brought over, "They aren’t picky eaters, but this is surely too much, just keep one of each."

Tiong Shulan smiled, "Start feeding them, and I’ll take away what they can’t finish."

Tiong Shulan turned and looked towards Yuan Jiale who wasn’t far, "Jiale, yours is in the kitchen, do you want to eat now or later at the table?"

Yuan Jiale looked towards his mom, and Xu Yuqing stood up, "Thank you, Sister-in-law, I’ll go get it myself."

Yuan Jiale had his mom put the bowl on this side, "I want to eat with my sister."

Yuan Weicheng heard his son, "Son, that’s not your sister, she’s your little cousin."

Yuan Jiale got upset, Luo Qiao intervened, "Uncle, let it be, regardless of our relationship, it’s fine for Jiale to call her sister, he’ll understand when he’s older."

Turning to Jiale, she said, "Alright, Jiale, if you don’t eat now, it’s going to get cold."

Seeing someone defending him, Jiale’s face brightened with a smile, and he began eating with a spoon on his own without needing Xu Yuqing to feed him.

Luo Qiao fed Yanyan and Tiong Shulan fed Yueyue, both children indeed weren’t fussy and ate deliciously while everyone around lavished them with praises.

After the kids were full and Jiale had finished his bowl, the dishes were served at the dining table.

Once everyone took their seats, the old man couldn’t stand the sorrowful looks from his three sons anymore, and he poured each a small cup.

Without much ado, the old man raised his glass, "Come on, everyone, cheers."

He took a small sip of the ginseng liquor and felt a warm flow going down his throat, warming him up, and the old man comfortably squinted his eyes, thinking internally it was really good stuff, guessing the ginseng used must be quite aged.

He looked at Luo Qiao with a smile, "Old man as I am, I’m enjoying Qiaoqiao’s blessings."

Luo Qiao smiled shallowly, "When I was at the farm, if not for your care of me, I might not have the chance to honor you."

Tiong Shulan joined in with a laugh, "It’s all the connection between the two of you grandfather and granddaughter, otherwise where would my daughter come from?"

Everyone burst into laughter, and the dinner table was lively with everyone toasting and cheering.

After dinner, they helped clean up the dining table and moved to the living room to talk about work, studies, and gossip.

Eldest Auntie Song Huizhen brought over some fruit and whispered, "Geng Family’s Main Wife, Geng Yanrong, has divorced, The son-in-law brought over quite a bit of stuff yesterday, saying that they can’t afford such a vicious daughter-in-law."

Tiong Shulan grew interested, "What’s the situation? Isn’t it that the Geng girl had a decent marriage after breaking off the engagement with the Qiao Family?"

Song Huizhen poured herself a cup of tea, "She did marry well, the groom comes from a military and political family, his parents died, leaving behind two young sons who were then brought back to Capital City to live with their grandparents."

Naturally, living with grandparents after the parents’ death is normal, and the children’s parents sacrificed for the country, providing pension, so their future schooling and settlement wouldn’t need to spend their money."

It’s actually the same situation as Geng’s Second Wife, Yan Qiu, whose parents left enough for her two children to spend, but once Geng Yanrong married into the family, she learnt her mother’s ways completely, behaving one way in front of others and another way behind them."

Last year just before the holidays, an incident occurred, as the two children were supposed to have a glass of milk every evening, which Geng Yanrong took over after marrying into the family, and she handled it for over two years.

Last year, Geng Yanrong’s mother-in-law’s cousin fell seriously ill. Since everyone at home had to work and was anxious, she took the two grandchildren to visit the cousin, arriving just as the cousin’s son had invited a reclusive expert to examine her."

Perhaps it was fate, the expert was resting in the living room when the two children, chasing each other playfully, accidentally fell on the expert’s legs. As the expert reached out to help the children stand, his hand landed on the wrist of one child."

Originally intending to help, he instead paused and started taking the child’s pulse, his facial expressions changing as he confirmed something. Then, he intentionally beckoned the other child over and took his pulse too.
