Chapter 29: Son-in-law who marries into the wife’s family
Gu Mengyao quickly returned, safe and sound, without making Gu Yu’s group wait too long.
However, her expression was not very good, which made everyone’s hearts clench, not knowing what kind of situation lay ahead.
But after witnessing Gu Mengyao’s outburst before, the Imperial Guards dared not say much in front of her, and could only wait for her to voluntarily inform them about the situation ahead.
“I saw the people of Zhongjia Village. They are all alive, but they are artificially confined within the village and unable to come out.”
Gu Mengyao clearly did not want to say much about the situation ahead. After saying a sentence, she walked towards Gu Yu.
“Commander Gu, where is my wife! Have you seen her? The scream just now came from her!”
After hearing Gu Mengyao’s brief explanation, Gege immediately became anxious. He quickly ran to Gu Mengyao’s side and directly asked about his wife.
Although Gu Mengyao said that the people of Zhongjia Village were fine, Gege, who had escaped from within, did not think so.
If it were truly as Gu Mengyao said, his wife would definitely not have sent him out in such a hurry.
“You want to know?”
“Yes!”
“Then follow behind me and don’t speak anymore.”
Seeing the anxious expression on Gege’s face, which was not fake, Gu Mengyao didn’t say much more. She only asked Gege to follow her and quickly walked towards Gu Yu.
The current development was a bit strange. Even if she told the Imperial Guards the information, it would not be of much help and would cause panic, which would only be detrimental to their future progress, with no benefit at all.
Therefore, Gu Mengyao did not tell others.
However, Gu Yu and Gu Qingheng were different.
By telling them about this matter, perhaps they could find a way to resolve and deal with it.
As for Gege, who was following behind, Gu Mengyao also thought that since he was originally from Zhongjia Village, he might be able to offer some helpful suggestions when he learned about the situation inside.
Of course, Gu Mengyao did not completely trust Gege, but the things she had just discovered in Zhongjia Village did not need to be kept too secret, so it was fine to let Gege know.
As long as the Imperial Guards did not know, there was no need to worry too much.
“Mengyao, have you discovered anything?”
“Yes, Zhongjia Village has become a bit strange. The first time I saw it, I thought I was mistaken!”
Seeing Gu Mengyao walking towards them, Gu Yu and Gu Qingheng did not wait in place but walked a few steps forward to meet Gu Mengyao.
When Gu Mengyao spoke with Gu Yu, her cold and proud female general demeanor immediately switched to her usual gentle appearance, which surprised the following Gege. He wondered if he was mistaken because he missed his wife too much.
However, looking at the obvious dependence in Gu Mengyao’s eyes, Gege knew he was not mistaken.
Looking at Gu Yu, who was smiling cheerfully, Gege felt a little sour and envious in his heart, thinking that as a son-in-law who married into the wife’s family, Gu Yu’s treatment was clearly much better than his.
He suddenly recalled Gu Yu’s confident appearance when he spoke to him in the carriage, which made Gege secretly reflect on whether he should also become more confident.
Although he was a son-in-law who married into the wife’s family, the reason he did so was because his family owed a great debt of gratitude to the Pa family, so he came to repay that kindness.
Besides being impoverished, the Gege family had the most children.
Just looking at the fact that Gege had three older brothers and four younger brothers above and below him, one could imagine how prosperous and lively the family was.
In order to supplement the household expenses, the children of the Ge family were sensible from a young age, doing their best to earn money and wanting to improve their family’s life.
This was also Gege’s idea. He took his bow and arrow and went up the mountain to hunt, wanting to catch a wild chicken so that some of his younger brothers could eat chicken.
However, Gege, who was still a half-grown child at the time, going up the mountain to hunt was like sending a meat bun to a dog – it went without return!
So, naturally, it was easy for Gege to go up the mountain, but difficult to come down.
Not only did he not catch any prey, but he was also bitten by a poisonous insect. Within a short while, his face began to turn purplish, and he was about to die.
At this moment, Pa Yinan went up the mountain to pick herbs and capture poisonous insects and encountered the dying Gege.
At this time, Gege was dazed by the poison. Suddenly, he saw a very beautiful young woman.
Using his last bit of strength, Gege asked for the name of the young woman in front of him.
In his heart, he thought that perhaps God pitied him for being inexperienced in life, so he sent such a beautiful young woman to him before his death.
It was worth dying.
However, when Gege spoke to ask, the woman in front of him did not speak, but just stared at him.
Some were probing, some were confused, and some were hesitant.
Feeling these, Gege felt he could not hold on any longer, and his consciousness quickly blurred.
Faintly, he heard the name Pa Yinan.
After that, Gege did not have much memory. When he woke up, he was already lying on his own bed.
Afterwards, his family did not say much, letting Gege just assume he had a dream.
Although the wound from the poisonous insect bite on his body was still there…
However, a few years later, Gege’s parents called all the children in the family and then said they wanted to choose one child from home to marry into the Pa family as a son-in-law.
Upon hearing the words “Pa family,” including Gege, the children of the Ge family could not help but tremble. They absolutely did not want to marry into the Pa family.
Not to mention that being a son-in-law who married into the wife’s family was not glorious, but the Pa family, who played with poisonous insects from old to young, who would want to marry into it!
Seeing that all the children in the family were resistant, Gege’s parents could only smile bitterly, but they still chose Gege’s brother as the son-in-law who married into the Pa family.
However, perhaps it was because Gege’s second brother was too cowardly. Upon hearing that he had been chosen as the ‘lucky one,’ he directly fainted and remained unconscious for three days and three nights.
This made Gege’s parents’ faces more wrinkled with worry. They had no choice but to choose another son to send over.
This time, perhaps to dispel the fear of their own sons, Gege’s parents said that the younger daughter of the Pa family, Pa Yinan, was very beautiful and was the most beautiful woman in Zhongjia Village.
After marrying into the family, they would surely live a very good life.
Despite what Gege’s parents said, the children of the Ge family were still unwilling.
It was not their fault that they were so scared, because everyone in the village was talking ill of the Pa family behind their backs, describing them as the most evil family in the Southern Border, enough to scare children to tears.
So, who would want to marry into it!
However, this did not include Gege.
Upon hearing the name Pa Yinan, Gege’s eyes practically lit up. He then directly patted his chest and said that he was willing to marry into the family and that no one should snatch this opportunity from him…
Recalling the past memories, Gege smiled a little helplessly, thinking that he had been married for so long, yet he still hadn’t forgotten the past.
Forget it, marry into the family!
Who said that a son-in-law who married into the wife’s family could not become powerful and save his wife!
This time, no matter if it was a dragon’s pond or a tiger’s lair, he would rescue his wife!
