My Wife is the World’s Greatest Divine Martial General – Chapter 147

Chapter 39: Heartache

Gu Yu looked at Mengyao Gu, who was staring blankly on the bed, and couldn’t help but sigh in his heart. If he had known that such a thing would happen, he would have revealed the news of Qing Gu’s survival earlier.

Seeing Mengyao’s devastated appearance made Gu Yu’s heart ache.

At the same time, he thought that his father-in-law was truly a troublemaker. Gu Yu had already told the black-clothed men who were sent last time, very directly, that only Qing Gu himself could have a conversation with Mengyao and her brother.

As a result, they sent a steward now…

“Brother-in-law, why has Sister become like this! If my father were alive, shouldn’t we be happy? After all, with a man in the family, others wouldn’t dare to bully us.”

“This matter is very troublesome. You are still young and don’t understand these things.”

“I’m not young anymore, I’m eight years old this year.”

Afterward, listening to his younger brother-in-law’s childish words, Gu Yu’s mood lightened a little. However, he didn’t say much more. He just ushered Qingheng Gu out of the room, preparing to have a private talk with Mengyao Gu.

Mengyao couldn’t continue to be so negative. She needed to be enlightened.

Now that things had come to this, Mengyao only needed to make a choice.

Whether she followed Deng Qing to the Gu Residence in the capital or continued to stay at the Gu family in Yang Family Village, Gu Yu would always be with her, as someone she could rely on, and give her strength.

“Yu, after so much time has passed, why did my father only come to find us now! After my mother died, what does his appearance at this time mean!”

After Gu Yu drove Qingheng Gu out of the room, before he could even speak, Mengyao Gu spoke first.

However, as she said this, countless grievances in her heart made Mengyao unable to hold back her tears.

Seeing her cry silently, Gu Yu’s heart ached.

His little wife had suffered too much.

“Mengyao, I don’t know how to persuade you to think positively, but no matter what decision you make, I will always be with you. So don’t be sad. Since we are already husband and wife, we are destined to be together forever.”

“Make a decision… I don’t know what to do either. My father suddenly appeared, which made me very upset. Although I was happy that he was not dead, he instantly became Master Gu and lived in the capital… But after all these years, why didn’t he come to find us before!”

While Mengyao was crying, Gu Yu sat beside her and then directly pulled her into his arms.

When her tears soaked her clothes and the wetness reached his chest, Gu Yu stopped speaking. He reached out and patted Mengyao’s back, listening intently to her訴.

“Over the years, to support this family and raise Qingheng, I never feared even hunting alone on the mountain. Because when fierce beasts appeared before me on the mountain, I only thought that after defeating this prey, I could buy more clothes for Qingheng and let him eat better, so he wouldn’t be so thin and pitiful.”

“When girls in the village invited me to play, I also wanted to embroider with them and chat about the village gossip, but I couldn’t. I had to shoulder the responsibility of supporting the family. In the end, to escape, I went hunting on the mountain even more diligently. If I hadn’t been worried about Qingheng being lonely at home, I would have even wanted to live on the mountain and not come back.”

“But I endured all these hardships through gritted teeth, and my father suddenly returned. Moreover, he became a great master in the capital. His life with servants must be very good, but the more it is like this, the more I feel sad, because when my mother died, no one knew of the tears I cried…”

As Mengyao spoke, her sobs became more and more intense. Gu Yu thought that he couldn’t let Mengyao continue like this. If she got into a deadlock, it would not be good.

The main reason was that the news of Qing Gu’s ‘resurrection’ was too sudden, leaving Mengyao no time to accept it, which was why her emotions were so agitated at this moment.

“Mengyao, all of that is in the past. Now that I am by your side, you won’t have to work so hard like before. So look forward, don’t stay stuck in the past.”

“Sob sob sob.”

Finally, Mengyao Gu could no longer hold back and burst into tears.

The sadness in her voice was as pitiful as a deer on the verge of death, making Gu Yu even more distressed.

Although Gu Yu did not experience what Mengyao Gu had gone through before, just thinking about it made him understand the hardships.

Hearing Mengyao’s pent-up words now, Gu Yu felt that his little wife had lived too hard these years.

If Gu Yu’s previous self had not died directly, Mengyao’s life might have still been in dire straits.

After a good cry, Mengyao Gu’s emotions gradually stabilized.

“Yu, I don’t plan to go to the capital. However, Qingheng can decide for himself; I will not force him to make a choice.”

At this moment, she wiped away her tears and looked at Gu Yu beside her with red eyes, saying this firmly.

Yu was right; she had to make a decision.

Although life in the capital was incomparable to Yang Family Village, Mengyao Gu did not want to go at all. She only wanted to live in the newly built blue brick and tile house of her own home.

However, these were just Mengyao Gu’s own thoughts. As for Qingheng’s decision, no matter what it was, she would support him.

Thinking from another perspective… if Qingheng went to the capital, it would also make his future path in the imperial examinations much easier.

At least he wouldn’t have to rely on himself solely to climb up the ranks in officialdom after a humble upbringing.

“Sister, stop talking! I want to stay here, I’m not going to the capital! We’ve gotten through these years, and now that our family’s life is finally getting better, I’m reluctant to leave.”

Worried about Mengyao Gu’s situation, Qingheng Gu, who had been hiding under the window and eavesdropping even though Gu Yu had kicked him out, heard his sister’s words and couldn’t care about anything else!

He pushed the door open and walked in, saying that he was unwilling to go to the capital.

Qingheng Gu had known that this matter was not over, which was why he had not left. Now, upon hearing Mengyao Gu’s words, a stubborn expression appeared on his face, and his eyes were slightly red. He felt that his sister wanted to abandon him.

With his father reappearing, if he went to the capital, it would also reduce his sister’s burden, but Qingheng Gu was unwilling to leave.

Even if he had to shamelessly cling here, he wouldn’t leave!

“But, if we go to the capital, it will be for your future…”

“Those are things for later. I’m only eight years old now, I’m not in a hurry at all. Besides, with such an amazing sister and brother-in-law, I don’t have to worry about anything in the future.”

Interrupting what Mengyao Gu wanted to say, Qingheng Gu’s words made Mengyao Gu and Gu Yu feel both amused and helpless. They thought that Qingheng Gu was still young and didn’t understand the implications.

So be it! Even if he came from humble beginnings, who could predict his future encounters?

Qingheng Gu, who was underestimated by Mengyao Gu and Gu Yu, truly had his own plans in mind.

He was not as naive as an ordinary child. Even if he didn’t understand the situation at first, he had now reacted in time.

Therefore, he said these words now because Qingheng Gu felt that his sister and brother-in-law were not ordinary people and would not stay in this small village forever.

Just like an eagle soaring through the sky, there would always be a day to shine brightly.

Regarding his father, Gu Qing, Qingheng Gu didn’t miss him much. The main reason was that he had relied on his only sister for these years, and Mengyao Gu had replaced his parents, giving him the opportunity to continue living.

Therefore, Qingheng Gu didn’t feel like he was lacking anything. With the addition of his brother-in-law, Gu Yu, he felt even more fortunate.

In fact, because he often listened to the gossip of the women in the village, Qingheng Gu had doubts about whether he would have a stepmother.

Didn’t people say that scholars who became officials and received noble titles would abandon their original wives and marry the young ladies of official families…

“Alright, since the decision has been made, we can’t dwell on this matter anymore. We still have to live our lives as usual, so don’t think about it anymore. Next time that old man comes, just tell him clearly.”

Seeing that Mengyao Gu had made her choice, Gu Yu took the initiative to speak, breaking the somewhat somber atmosphere.

Although seeing Mengyao Gu cry felt unpleasant, resolving the issue of Gu Qing made Gu Yu feel relieved for the time being.

It was better than having a ticking time bomb that could explode at any moment.

Mengyao Gu’s emotions came and went quickly. In a short period, she regained her spirits.

This made Gu Yu and Qingheng Gu, who had been secretly worried, secretly relieved, thinking that it was great that Mengyao Gu did not get stuck in a deadlock.

As for the steward Deng Qing, he seemed to realize that he had been too reckless and had actually frightened Mengyao Gu. Therefore, after two days, he did not appear at the Gu family’s door again, probably wanting to give Mengyao Gu and her brother some time to calm down.

Gu Yu felt that… Deng Qing must have thought that Mengyao Gu and her brother already knew that Gu Qing was not dead, so he rushed out at that time, wanting to explain and take the siblings back to the capital.

However, he had overlooked Gu Yu, the unenthusiastic live-in son-in-law, who had not revealed Gu Qing’s matter.

This led to the current situation. However, now that Mengyao Gu and her brother had made their choice, Gu Yu no longer had to struggle with whether to reveal Gu Qing’s matter.

Although Gu Yu felt that Gu Qing would not give up…
