90 Chapter 90 The Feud Between Gu And Qiao (2)

The patriarch took a sip of water and said, “Originally, this matter should have ended here. Who knew that the concubine would die in the courtyard for some unknown reason, and all kinds of signs pointed to your grandmother.

“Although it was later found out that the concubine died of sickness, the concubine’s son, who is your great-uncle, still blamed it on your grandmother and grandfather.

“Later on, your great-uncle schemed against your grandfather, but he didn’t expect your grandfather to turn the tables against him. Not only did your grandfather make a fortune, but he also got in touch with a noble. Since then, his business has been growing bigger and bigger.

“What they didn’t expect was that the fight between them caused your great-grandfather to lose his life, and since then, the two families have completely broken off.”

!!

Gu Chengrui did not know what to say for a moment.

“Concubine is the root of all evil,” Zhou Ying said.

The patriarch was stunned for a moment. “Although it’s an exaggeration, it makes sense. Nothing good happens when there are too many women.”

“Therefore, without huge benefits, I’m afraid there’s no possibility of reconciliation between the two families,” he said. “You must be careful in the future.

“Also, if the situation doesn’t look good, let me know. The entire Gu clan must unite.”

“I understand. Then the Qian clan …”

The patriarch pondered a moment and said, “We’ve lived together for so many years, so they’re worth trusting. Besides, you’ve saved the Qian family members’ lives twice in a row, so they shouldn’t stab us in the back.

“However, black sheep are also among them, so we still have to be careful.”

“I understand.” Gu Chengrui replied.

“Yup, that old coot from the Qiao family is a sinister and grudge-holding person. Don’t be careless.”

“Thank you for your reminder, uncle.”

“We’re a family. Don’t be so polite. You guys go ahead as I have to go to the oil mill.” After the patriarch finished speaking, he stood up and walked out.

After he left, the couple drank a glass of water and told Da Hua they were going up the mountain.

When they reached the mountain, they each took a saw and began to cut some dead wood. They kept the big ones for later use while turning the small ones into firewood and storing them in the interspace.

Otherwise, the firewood stored at home would not be enough if they were to make Yuba every day.

On the other hand, as soon as Manager Liu returned, Chef Zhou told him how the Qiao family had threatened Gu Chengrui and his wife. “Manager, what do we do now? Do we buy tofu from another shop, or do we just drop in to collect the goods?”

“Braised intestine recipe? It’s the one that you bought from the dock, right?”

“Yes, I’ve tried it. It’s similar to braised dried tofu. It should be the same recipe.

“But yeah, Miss Gu’s cooking skills are excellent. I still haven’t figured out what spices were used in it.” After saying that, Chef Zhou hesitated for a moment before asking, “Why don’t we buy the recipe?”

Manager Liu shook his head. “We could’ve asked if it was before.

“Now that the Qiao family has made a move, it would be akin to looting a burning house if we asked now. Let’s wait for them to offer.

“As for the tofu, it’s better to go to them and get the goods. Yuba is our main dish at the moment, and no one can make it. ”

“Alright, I’ll send someone over tomorrow morning.” After saying that, Chef Zhou turned around and walked out.

“Remember to bring some silver when you go.”

“Understood.”

The Qiao family.

After Elder Qiao had recovered from his treatment, he used a cold towel to cool his eyes and gritted his teeth as he said to his butler, “Qiao Mu, later on, find someone to teach that pair of little bastards a lesson properly.

“Since they refuse my kindness, then I’ll make them kneel and beg me to take their recipe.”
