Chapter 102: Exchanging Glances
Yan Min had only come to inform them and express his gratitude before leaving.
Gu Mengyao and Gu Yu seized the time to quickly return to their room to rest and relieve their fatigue.
It wasn’t until Gu Qingheng returned that the two of them, with sore waists and legs, got up from the bed.
The hardship of the afternoon, after resting, had made them even more exhausted.
Especially Gu Yu, who had never done heavy work since transmigrating, was utterly worn out. He wouldn’t have gotten out of bed if Gu Qingheng hadn’t rushed in with such a boisterous demeanor!
“Sister, Brother-in-law! You weren’t with me in the village, it was so lively!”
“What happened again? I encountered too many things today, I wouldn’t be surprised even if you told me Madam Li fell into a latrine.”
Gu Yu felt immense pressure due to his younger brother-in-law’s habit of listening to gossip and sharing it with others!
He wondered… which woman would marry Gu Qingheng in the future, their married life would undoubtedly be incomparably happy.
Because Gu Qingheng was a gossip!
They could chat with each other sentence by sentence, and perhaps Gu Qingheng’s wife would even feel inferior…
“Qingheng, stop running to the village. How old are you already, still being so boisterous, not at all steady.”
“My dear sister! I’m only eight years old this year, how steady do you want me to be! Never mind that, you almost diverted the topic. I’m telling you… the young lady who came looking for Yang Shun before, she’s back!”
“Pfft… it’s fine, you continue.”
Then, upon hearing Gu Qingheng’s words, Gu Yu couldn’t help but burst into laughter.
As both the sister and brother’s gazes looked over curiously, Gu Yu quickly waved his hands, signaling Gu Qingheng to continue.
This woman Bai Lin Yue really… knowing there’s a tiger in the mountains, but heading towards it.
This was her second visit to Yang Family Village. It was likely that Madam Li and Yang Shun of the Old Yang family would become restless.
“This time, the young lady didn’t go to the Old Yang family to find Yang Shun. She just asked everyone she met on the road about a young man, saying that Wang Hu was attacked by a black bear near Yang Family Village, and she was worried that the young man might also be injured.”
“Asking about a young man???”
Gu Qingheng’s face lit up as he spoke of gossip, and then upon hearing that a young lady from town had come to inquire about someone, Gu Mengyao asked with confusion, feeling very curious about it.
It was one thing to come once, but a second time… how much attraction did that young man possess to make ladies from town unable to forget him!
Thinking this, Gu Mengyao subconsciously glanced at Gu Yu’s handsome face, feeling that her husband had this possibility.
“Yes, Sister, I heard others describe him, and it felt a little strange… because, the person the young lady was asking about seems to be Brother-in-law.”
After hearing Gu Qingheng’s words, Gu Mengyao’s expression immediately darkened.
Had she guessed correctly?
However, Gu Yu smiled wryly beside her, not expecting that Bai Lin Yue had become smarter this time, inquiring everywhere and spreading the news of wanting to find him, thus casting a net to catch a fish.
When she eventually reeled in the net, she might catch the fish she liked.
Moreover, Bai Lin Yue probably already knew his name, and had also inquired about his family situation.
“Could it be a mistake! Your brother-in-law has been at home the whole time, how could he know such a young lady from town?”
“I also hope it’s a mistake, but as soon as that young lady arrived, she asked who the most handsome man in the village was. I’m not bragging! With your brother-in-law’s handsome looks, let alone in the village, even in town he’d be among the best.”
“Alright, stop praising me. I do know this Bai Lin Yue. This is what happened, I ran into a local tyrant robbing people in town… After using Yang Shun as a shield, I didn’t think about it anymore after returning to the village. Who knew this woman would find her way to the village. Fortunately, I was smart at the time and didn’t reveal my real name.”
Listening to his younger brother-in-law’s endless flattery, Gu Yu gave him a displeased glare. Then, adhering to the principle of ‘confession leads to leniency, resistance leads to severe punishment,’ he directly revealed the truth of the matter.
He didn’t dare to conceal anything in the process, explaining it in great detail.
Upon hearing Gu Yu’s words, Gu Mengyao’s expression grew even worse.
Seeing this, how could Gu Yu not know that his little wife was jealous and angry? But now, he might as well raise his hands and swear that he had absolutely not flirted with anyone outside, and was as pure as a snow lotus on the Heavenly Mountain!
“That woman is too shameless. Brother-in-law doesn’t want to deal with her, and she’s still thinking of coming to him herself! When she really comes looking for him, I’ll sweep her away with a broom!”
“Qingheng, don’t be impulsive. Perhaps that young lady doesn’t know that Yu is already married.”
“My silly sister! Just by looking at that woman’s persistent demeanor, do you believe she’ll give up? Perhaps she’ll even secretly abduct Brother-in-law and take him to the Capital!”
“She dares!”
Gu Mengyao had initially defended Bai Lin Yue with a sentence, but after hearing Gu Qingheng’s sarcastic words, she immediately bristled.
Her widened eyes were exactly like a kitten whose food was snatched, she was just about to bare her teeth and declare her ownership.
Gu Yu, on the side, also felt very helpless. His own life was going well, but there were always people coming to cause trouble.
Although Bai Lin Yue wasn’t like others who had designs on the Gu family, she had designs on Gu Yu himself.
Even though Gu Yu was annoyed by these things, he found it quite amusing to see his little wife’s jealous outburst.
[Gu Mengyao Anger Value +1, please be careful.]
However, before Gu Yu could look at his wife’s jealous expression any longer, the system’s prompt sound made him unable to smile.
Following the favorability, an anger value had appeared.
Although he didn’t know what the anger value was for, just by its name, Gu Yu knew it wasn’t anything good!
Favorability, upon reaching a certain level, could upgrade the space. Then what would happen when the anger value reached a certain level???
“Mengyao, it’s fine even if she comes. We are already married, and the marriage certificate is registered at the Yamen. Moreover, I have no intention of marrying anyone else. I will spend this lifetime with you, just don’t get tired of me then.”
“Yu, how could I get tired of you! I will treat you well for a lifetime. If others bully you, I will avenge you.”
“…”
At this point, Gu Yu naturally couldn’t just stand by. He had to quickly appease his little wife’s anger, lest he keep hearing the reminders of Anger Value +1, +1, +1.
However, what Gu Mengyao said made Gu Yu want to laugh and cry.
Although he knew that Gu Mengyao had great strength, which was completely inconsistent with her current loli appearance, it was too cowardly to ask his wife for help when he was bullied by others outside!
Even though Gu Yu had thought that way before, having Gu Mengyao say it herself made him feel a little embarrassed.
His own wife was truly amazing!
Fortunately, after listening to Gu Yu’s assurances, Gu Mengyao’s anger gradually subsided. Gu Yu no longer thought about anything else, only thinking that he must never make Gu Mengyao angry in the future, otherwise something might happen!
“Hehe, when that young lady spoke, asking for the most beautiful young man in the village, Madam Li’s old face was almost twisted with anger. She saw me laughing nearby and immediately cursed indirectly for a long time. I treated it as a fly buzzing around my ears and ignored her.”
“Madam Li was still hoping her son could marry a daughter from a rich family. The greater the hope, the greater the disappointment, so it’s no wonder she is so angry now. Moreover, she was extorted thirty taels of silver by Widow Lin and her daughter, so she probably won’t sleep well today.”
“Brother-in-law, why is Yang Shun’s face so big! He even said he liked that young lady before, this is damaging a woman’s reputation! I don’t know how that young lady from town will deal with Yang Shun when she hears about it.”
“Just a jumping clown, she probably won’t bother with him. If it escalates, Yang Shun might even have to go to the Yamen and receive a beating.”
Gu Yu was very pleased to hear about the Yang family’s situation from Gu Qingheng, seeing Madam Li and Yang Shun eating humble pie.
However, objectively analyzing the facts afterward, apart from Madam Li being upset and unable to sleep and Yang Shun’s plans falling through, there wasn’t much change for the Yang family.
Regarding this, Gu Yu felt a little regretful but not disappointed.
After all, after Old Man Yang mentioned the Deed of Severance, his relationship with the Yang family was severed. Now, whether the Yang family prospered or declined, it had nothing to do with him.
However, being able to hear the bad news about Madam Li and Yang Shun still made people feel happy!
“Alright, it’s time for us to have dinner. Stop bothering with these trivial matters.”
Finally, it was Gu Mengyao who made the final decision, stopping Gu Qingheng from continuing to talk. He obediently prepared to wait for dinner.
Meanwhile, Gu Yu began to ponder how to give out the lightness skill secret manual.
Although he could use the excuse of a traveling merchant giving it to him, after too many lies, not to mention others, even Gu Yu himself wouldn’t believe it.
In that case, it was found on the back mountain?
Or, a mysterious beggar passing by saw his heroic spirit and directly gave him the secret manual.
However, why the manual given could only be learned by females was a bit difficult to explain.
While Gu Mengyao was cooking dinner, Gu Yu walked around the courtyard to relax. While thinking about how to give out the lightness skill secret manual without coming up with a suitable method, he dejectedly kicked a stone on the ground, sending it flying.
Following the path of the flying stone, Gu Yu’s eyes followed, and he happened to lock eyes with a man dressed in black, revealing only a pair of eyes.
In the next second, the man in black disappeared.
Gu Yu slowly frowned, a bad premonition suddenly arising in his heart.
In this countryside, even if robbers appeared, they would only be simply disguised. Someone like the one who only revealed a pair of eyes was not common!
Moreover, the long sword at his waist was not a weapon that ordinary robbers could equip.
When he encountered Yan Min and others robbing him before, those people only held crudely made sabers as weapons, and their quality was not good just by looking at them. But the sword at the waist of the man in black just now, even the sword sheath looked exquisite and extraordinary.
In short, it was something that would absolutely not appear in a village.
So, who was this man in black?
And what did he want to do?
