Chapter 216 I am the master of this house (2/2)

Compared to Gu Hong, neither Grandma Jiang nor Qin Shuman ever told her to do any chores. As long as she took good care of Lin Han and the baby, she didn't need to lift a finger to do any other housework.

Two days later, Grandma Jiang and Grandpa Gu went out to attend the wedding of the grandson of an old comrade-in-arms. They left in the morning and did not return until lunchtime in the afternoon.

Gu Hong is now the undisputed head of the household. As soon as she gets up in the morning, she plops down on the sofa like a lord, leisurely waiting for Aunt Li to come and serve her.

"I want roast chicken for lunch, so hurry up and kill the chickens we keep in the yard."

Gu Hongyi gave orders to Aunt Li in a bossy manner.

Aunt Li looked troubled and hesitated before saying, "That chicken was specially raised by Chief Gu for Lin Han to eat. I'm afraid it's not appropriate to kill a chicken for anyone else to eat, is it?"

Upon hearing this, Gu Hong flew into a rage and shouted, "You blind idiot! How come Lin Han's mouth is a mouth, but mine isn't?"

"She can eat it, but I can't? I'm telling you to go kill it, so just go kill it! Why are you arguing so much? If you don't listen to me, I'll tell my brother!"

Seeing that Gu Hong was being so unreasonable, Aunt Li was somewhat unwilling, but she dared not disobey her orders, so she had no choice but to do as Gu Hong said and go to the yard to catch a chicken to kill.

After killing the chicken, Aunt Li stewed half for Lin Han and cooked the other half for Gu Hong and Xiao Ya. She secretly thought that if she really made a fuss about it with Grandpa Gu, since Gu Hong was his sister, he probably wouldn't refuse if she wanted to eat a chicken.

Therefore, it's safer to do things according to Gu Hong's wishes.

After skillfully slaughtering and cleaning the chicken, Aunt Li put it in a pot to stew, then quickly went upstairs to take care of the baby. She first made a cup of warm formula for the baby, carefully fed it to the baby, and then gently changed the baby into clean clothes.

Under her careful care, the baby gradually calmed down and drifted into a sweet dream.

Looking at the baby's adorable sleeping face, Aunt Li felt a surge of tenderness. She gently picked up the baby's used diaper, preparing to go downstairs to wash it.

However, just as she reached the top of the stairs, a furious shout suddenly rang out.

"Are you deaf? How many times have I called you? Don't you have ears? Or are you deliberately trying to antagonize me and disregard me?" Gu Hong stood downstairs, shouting angrily at Aunt Li.

Aunt Li was startled by the sudden scolding. She looked at Gu Hong in astonishment and quickly explained, "I was upstairs comforting the child. I couldn't just leave the child aside and come down to ask you what's wrong, could I?"

Professor Jiang said that nothing in the family is more important than the child and Lin Han. Even if you shout yourself hoarse, I will put the child to sleep first.

Hearing Aunt Li's words, Gu Hong felt she was utterly unreasonable, and her anger flared even more. She felt Aunt Li completely disregarded her and was utterly arrogant. How could someone like that be allowed to stay in the house?

She grew angrier and angrier, and said to Aunt Li in a fit of rage, "What kind of attitude is this? Don't you have any manners at all? I think you're deliberately going against me. People like that should be kicked out immediately!"

Since Grandma Jiang and Grandpa Gu are both away today, and the woman upstairs is bedridden, she is the most important person in the family.

"You've got wings too, haven't you? You need to understand your own place. You're just here to help, you're nothing special, and you still want to act like a big shot in front of me? You've miscalculated."

Someone like you would be unwanted in our rural area. Not only would men not want you, but even the old bachelors in the village would look down on you.

It's only because my brother and sister-in-law don't look down on you in this big compound that you realize your own status—you're just a servant, yet you act like someone important.

"You dare to talk back to me? Who do you think you are?"
