Chapter 20 The Stubborn Little Wife
“No need to look for him, I’ll sell this wild boar myself.”
“A’yu, you haven’t been to town, why don’t you let…”
Seeing Gu Mengyao injured, Gu Yu was furious.
This anger was not only towards Gu Mengyao and Hunter Wu, but also towards himself.
Gu Mengyao was just a thirteen-year-old little girl, and Gu Yu’s previous self shamelessly relied on her to support him, and even gave money to the Old Yang family… which was truly shameful.
Fortunately, Gu Mengyao’s life was not in danger, which served as a timely reminder to Gu Yu that he could no longer let Gu Mengyao go up the mountain.
Animals in autumn were usually idle. This time it was just a wild boar; if it were a pack of wild boars, Gu Mengyao wouldn’t have had a chance to come back.
“I will sell the pig, this is not up for discussion. Also, this is your last time hunting on the mountain, from now on I will earn money to support you.”
“A’yu…”
“Who has the final say in this family?”
“It’s you, but we can’t stop hunting, the family needs money.”
“Stop talking, I’ve made up my mind. It’s fine for you to set a wild chicken or rabbit on the mountain from now on, but entering the deep mountains is not allowed.”
Gu Yu’s tone was a bit harsh, making Gu Mengyao’s eyes well up with tears.
Although she knew Gu Yu didn’t want her to risk going up the mountain, how would they live without hunting?
So Gu Mengyao had to continue to resist; if it weren’t for the lack of money, she wouldn’t have had to risk her life on the mountain every time.
But now… besides hunting, their family had no other way to make money.
Gu Yu looked at Gu Mengyao’s stubbornly pursed lips and knew that words alone couldn’t convince her.
He needed to address the root cause.
Since Gu Mengyao was worried about not having money now, he would prove that he could get money.
“Qingheng, you go out first, I have something to say to your sister.”
“Brother-in-law, don’t bully my sister.”
“She’s already like this. If you still lay hands on her, I’ll disown myself.”
Although Gu Yu could tell Gu Mengyao, it wouldn’t do to involve Gu Qingheng, this younger brother-in-law.
So after sending Gu Qingheng out, Gu Yu didn’t say much more and directly took out eleven taels of silver from his怀 and placed it in front of Gu Mengyao.
With the silver as evidence now, Gu Mengyao wouldn’t refuse, would she!
“Ah… A’yu, where did you get this money!”
“I earned it in town today. I didn’t steal or rob; I got it all through my own ability. Now, you must believe that I can earn money to support the family!”
Gu Mengyao’s expression froze when she saw a pile of silver on the bed, and then she immediately became flustered as if she had thought of something.
And Gu Yu, seeing the change in Gu Mengyao’s expression, clearly guessed that she had misunderstood.
After all, Gu Yu was only twelve years old and had a particularly delicate body. If he suddenly produced so much money, anyone would think twice.
Therefore, Gu Mengyao only relaxed after Gu Yu repeatedly stated that it was money he had earned.
However, Gu Mengyao, still with red eyes, looked like a pitiful child, making Gu Yu sigh and then reach out to pat her head.
Gu Mengyao’s hair wasn’t pure black; it had become dry and yellowish due to malnutrition, and didn’t feel good.
But Gu Yu felt that this little girl was truly remarkable.
Even though Gu Yu’s previous self had treated her that way, Gu Mengyao still shouldered the responsibility of supporting the family, surpassing many men.
Therefore, after Gu Yu transmigrated this time, he also needed to change.
His own wife should be supported by him, no longer having to risk her life on the mountain, with her life hanging by a belt, always in danger of dying.
