253: Chapter 253: Trouble Caused by Tea 253: Chapter 253: Trouble Caused by Tea There followed a great wail, and she even dragged the assistant, who was on the verge of tears himself, to lant her grievances.
“Just tell , does such a person have any conscience left, huh?
Is there any justice in this world anymore?
Now that she’s recovered from her illness and achieved sothing, living in such a fine place, she actually starts to scorn , her own mother-in-law, calling dirty.
If I hadn’t raised her father, or hadn’t raised her, I’d still be a clean and untouched girl.
Who have I toiled half my life for, huh?
I’ve been here half a day without even a drop of water to drink.
Look at how parched my mouth is, so dry I can barely close it!
Damn it, such ingratitude deserves to be struck by lightning, don’t you think it’s true?
Should Gu Youyou be struck by lightning or not?”
The assistant, completely stunned, thought to himself that he couldn’t possibly answer that, better to ask the god of thunder!
After all, could he really say Sister Youyou deserved to be struck by lightning?
“Oh my goodness, had I known she was such a creature, I should have thrown her into a gully to feed the wolves ten years ago.
I’m the one without any justice!
Give the keys; I insist on going in to see what shaful things she’s hiding…”
No longer able to bear it, Gu Youyou carrying a kettle, ca out, while the shock Qin Changlin felt inside the room couldn’t even be described.
The first shock was that this white-haired old woman had a voice that could rival a middle-aged man’s, and the second was, despite complaining about her dry mouth, she could still verbally lash out so eloquently?
And the things she was saying…
was this really her granddaughter?
Aside from inviting her into the house, Sister Youyou didn’t seem to have said anything, did she?
“Would you like to drink your tea with the kettle, or would you prefer to sit down inside and sip from a cup?”
Gu Youyou remained composed, seemingly unaffected by the Huang Family matriarch’s haranguing.
The assistant observed the bizarre grandparent and grandchild with a mix of amazent and fear, cursing his own bad luck for being dragged into serving the old lady.
“Go ahead with your work,” Gu Youyou gestured for the assistant to leave, and the assistant, feeling as if he’d been pardoned, quickly scampered away.
Looking at the kettle in Gu Youyou’s hand, the old Huang Family matriarch’s lips involuntarily twitched.
She really was thirsty.
Recalling Gu Youyou’s words…
asking her to drink from a kettle?
Does anyone drink tea from a kettle?
Who was she trying to irritate?
“Gu Youyou, what do you an?
This is how you treat ?” the old Huang Family matriarch demanded, her eyebrows drawn together.
Gu Youyou smiled lightly, “Didn’t you say earlier that I wouldn’t even offer you water to drink?
Now I’ve brought the kettle too, so do you want to drink or not?”
The matriarch’s face turned green with anger at the young woman’s unrelenting and venomous sarcasm.
Helpless and extrely thirsty, her mouth far too parched to argue anymore, she snatched the kettle and huffed into the house.
Just now, when Gu Youyou had co out of that room, the assistant had explained that it was for entertaining guests, and as a guest of Jisheng Hall, she was naturally expected to drink tea there.
After all, a guest deserves hospitality, and Qin Changlin, unlike Gu Youyou, couldn’t afford to be so high-handed.
Seeing the old Huang Family matriarch enter, he hurriedly took the kettle and respectfully poured a pot of tea.
The matriarch snatched it and gulped it down with a huff.
After finishing one cup, she poured another.
Only then did she start to notice the taste.
Tasteless?
Plain boiled water?
Gu Youyou had actually given her plain boiled water to drink?
With a snort, she spat the water out and glared with wide, copper bell-like eyes.
“You…
you unfilial granddaughter, how dare you give plain boiled water to drink, where’s my tea?
I want to drink fine tea.”
Qin Changlin’s mouth twitched, knowing well that swapping it with plain water would cause trouble.
It’s just that Sister Youyou seed unafraid of complicating matters further.
