MTL - My Stepmother is Soft and Charming-Chapter 508 Pepper disaster

 “You know, I never talk nonsense.”

"Okay, if there are some short-sighted people who insist on having trouble with me in the future, I will use the name of the general to scare them. Such a useful backer will not be used in vain."

“I’ll give it to you. I’ll earn this for my husband. Isn’t it just for you and the children?”

 “That’s right!”

After talking and laughing, the two came to the children's yard. As soon as they entered the door, they heard the sound of crying. So before the smile on Du Jingyi's face fell, he got anxious and took the child he was holding just now. Gu Shaoyu was forgotten.

Looking at his empty hands, Gu Shaoyu felt for a moment that it was really irritating to compare people with each other.

 Then, he strode towards the sound of crying. He also wanted to know why his son was crying.

When Gu Shaoyu entered the door of the main room, he saw his father-in-law, mother-in-law, and his wife each coaxing one of them. Brother Tai sat calmly at the table, looking at his three younger brothers with the look of a child who loves to cry. Come on, it's quite funny.

"Father."

When Brother Tai saw him, he got off his stool and ran over, throwing himself into Gu Shaoyu's arms. Then Gu Shaoyu picked him up and asked.

 “Brothers, why are you crying?”

 I saw that Brother Tai was calm when he heard this question. He thought about it and said.

"hungry."

How can such a big general’s mansion make them cry from hunger? Gu Shaoyu didn't quite believe this answer, so he cast curious eyes on the two elders and then asked.

“Father-in-law and mother-in-law, what’s going on?”

"Also, Brother Wen was making a fuss and wanted to eat, so we took him to the small kitchen to have a look. It turned out that he was doing well and took a sweet pepper. When we were not prepared, he bit all the brothers. One bite, it was so spicy that I cried."

 When he told the reason, Gu Shaoyu also had a dark face.

Although he is not a person who can eat spicy food, he was still a little embarrassed when his son was cried by spicy food, so he didn't know how to answer for a while, but Dan Ruo rushed over and sent honey water.

“Come on, come on, this honey can relieve the spicy taste, let the young masters drink it quickly.”

Du Jingyi hurriedly took over and gave the honey water to the "culprit" Brother Wen personally. Xiao Dou Ding's face turned red from crying. Now he drank the honey water and refused to let go. I feel relieved a lot.

Looking at Du Jingyi with watery eyes, he screamed.

 “Mother, spicy.”

When he heard him say spicy, Du Jingyi couldn't help laughing, then touched his little head and said.

 “Do you dare to grab something to eat next time?”

Poor Brother Wen shook his head. If he had known that the red thing was not sweet but spicy, he would not have brought it back with him. He snuggled into Du Jingyi's arms and looked at the other two brothers. I'm also quite sorry.

It's a pity that he couldn't say the words "I'm sorry", so he could only rely on his eyes. Brother Ming was better, and he was always very tolerant of Brother Wen, a troublesome younger brother, but Brother Cong was not so good. He talked more to begin with, so after he felt less uncomfortable, he started to complain.

 “Brother is stupid, give us spicy food!”

When Brother Wen heard this, he was already full of grievances, and then he burst out at this moment, crying loudly, even more sad than before.

Brother Cong seemed to be frightened by his reaction, so for a moment he wondered if he had said something wrong, so he quickly got into Mrs. Du's arms, feeling a little at a loss.

When Tai Ge'er saw this scene, he struggled to jump out of his father's arms, and then walked up to Wen Ge'er. He patted him with the confidence of his eldest brother, and then said like an adult.

 “If you don’t cry or make trouble, your little brother is a good baby.”

His words did not comfort Brother Wen, but instead made everyone laugh. Brother Wen saw everyone laughing. Although he didn't know what happened, he started laughing and crying too. Only then did Du Jingyi sink. Said in a loud voice.

"When brothers get along, the most important thing is unity and friendship. Brother Wen got the pepper and thought it was a good thing, so he shared it with you, but who knew it turned out to be spicy food? Brother Cong shouldn't say that his brother is stupid, you know ?"

Her words made the little Brother Cong lower his head in shame. Mrs. Du comforted her softly. Brother Cong soon calmed down, walked up to Brother Wen, kissed him, and then said.

 “My brother is not stupid, I like him.”

Wen Geer received this kiss and returned the kiss twice, then showed a sweet smile.

 At this point, this "spicy eating controversy" has come to an end.

Everyone sat together at the table, eating the dishes specially prepared by Danruo. There were no festive dishes. Most of them had simple ingredients and simple preparations. Since it was during the national mourning period, the drinks were not put out. Replace it with clean water.

Compared to Tai Geer's previous birthdays, today's life is naturally extremely simple. Even the servants serving in other courtyards of the general's mansion may not know what day it is.

 However, this does not prevent Tagore from being happy.

 After all, he had received congratulatory gifts from everyone and was enjoying opening them at the moment.

Gu Shaoyu accompanied his sons in the front. The few little Doudings naturally knew that these were their brother's birthday gifts, so they did not destroy them and just jumped around curiously.

 It is very harmonious to look at this now and that now.

Du Jingyi and the two elders of the Du family sat on stools and watched, with calm and peaceful smiles on their faces. Later, Du Jingyi rejected the Empress Dowager Guo's intention to appoint them to the Inner Court Procurement Bureau.

When he first heard this, Gu Shaoyu couldn't help but look back at Du Jingyi, but his son pulled him to continue, so he could only listen carefully while unpacking things for his son.

 Compared with his dual-tasking, the Du family was quite surprised.

However, their thoughts coincided with Du Jingyi's. This kind of overwhelming wealth was not suitable for the Du family. It was most stable to live half-hidden and half-hidden like this.

It is already very impressive to have a capable uncle in the family. If he catches the eye of the nobles in the palace, who knows how envious the Du family will be. Therefore, Mr. Du and Mrs. Du were only shocked at first, but calmed down after that. It was as if I just heard the name of the dish I was eating tonight, and there was absolutely no feeling of reluctance or regret.

Gu Shaoyu didn't know about this at first, but now he feels that something is wrong, but now he can't speak out about the Queen Mother's problem in front of everyone.
