Chapter 1088 - 1087: The Truth Emerges 1
After sending Guan Yu off to the fields, Secretary Zheng turned his head and said to Wang Zhengguo, "You can tell that this kid has had a good life, and his gratitude towards the Lu Family genuinely shines through."
Wang Zhengguo replied, "Xiaoxue is my niece, so it’s not right for me to say anything about it. Whether it’s good or bad, let’s ask our villagers and elders of Wanglou Brigade."
Saying that, he called over six or seven people along the way, all heads of their respective households, the youngest being forty and the oldest over ninety, some assisted from their homes. Their words carried weight in Wanglou Brigade, and they were often consulted for major events, red or white. On the way, Wang Zhengguo also called Lu Father and Xibao, who were busy threshing with a small donkey.
Back home, Miao Fengqin first poured some water and then served everyone a bowl of mung bean jelly seasoned with minced garlic.
Xibao exclaimed in admiration, obediently standing next to Lu Father, gripping his spoon tightly and looking up with wide eyes, "Thank you, great-aunt grandma, you are such a good person. How did you know Xibao wanted to eat jelly?"
"What jelly have you eaten? Your mom can’t make this," teased Miao Fengqin.
"Maternal grandmother made it; it’s so smooth and tasty!" Xibao slurped his saliva, leaning over the table, eyeing everyone’s jelly with a lot of white garlic and green chili on top, "Great-aunt grandma, Xibao doesn’t eat spicy food."
Miao Fengqin prepared a separate bowl for him, "This bowl has no garlic; it’s not spicy."
