Chapter 25: Hunter Wu Visits
“Brother Wu, Yu is helping me shoulder the heavy responsibilities at home, I’m too happy to stop him! Besides, when I caught the wild boar, I didn’t ask you to help sell it!”
“That’s not how it works. I’ve always helped you sell your hunted prey. Now you’re saying the wild boar was sold by Gu Yu, how am I supposed to think about that! Will you still need my help in the future?”
Hearing the conversation from inside, Gu Yu immediately knew who the visitor was.
This person really couldn’t stand to be gossiped about. When Gu Yu was using the ox cart to transport the wild boar, it was to prevent Hunter Wu from coming to snatch the boar. He didn’t expect him to actually show up.
Truly shameless.
“Changlin Wu, the wild boar is my sister’s prey. How we deal with it is our family’s business. Do you, an outsider, want to interfere?”
“Gu family’s younger brother, I’ve always helped your family. Saying this now completely negates my past assistance to your family.”
“Hmph, it’s not really help, after all, you’ve earned quite a lot of money from it!”
Gu Qingheng was very reliable at critical moments.
Now that only he and Gu Mengyao were at home, he immediately spoke up to protect her, not wanting to give Wu Changlin any more face. It seemed he wanted to tear their masks off and make things clear.
This behavior made Gu Yu feel good, and it made him feel a little more favorably towards this cheap younger brother-in-law.
If Hunter Wu hadn’t come, Gu Yu had been thinking of looking for him himself one day. Since he was here now, he might as well resolve the issue with him.
Gu Yu didn’t want his family to associate too deeply with this kind of person who only knew how to take advantage.
“I’m sorry, my family won’t need your help anymore.”
After a moment of thought, Gu Yu directly shouted into the house with a loud voice, taking steps as he walked in.
As soon as Gu Yu’s voice was heard, the conversation inside immediately stopped. Then, after Gu Yu entered the house, he saw a dark-skinned, strong man sitting in the dining hall where they were eating. His brows were furrowed, and he looked as if he was owed a lot of silver. He looked like he deserved a beating.
And Gu Mengyao, sitting opposite him, had changed her former timid demeanor in front of Gu Yu. Her current angry look made Gu Yu exclaim “good” in his heart.
Gu Qingheng, standing behind Gu Mengyao, looked even more furious. It was likely that Wu Changlin’s aggressive attitude had made him unable to stand it any longer, which was why he had spoken up to retort.
However, when Gu Qingheng saw Gu Yu walk in, his eyes lit up. He then remained silent, standing honestly in place, waiting for Gu Yu to make a move.
Upon entering the house, Gu Yu seized the opportunity to move to Gu Mengyao’s side, his body brushing against hers. He raised his eyebrows and looked at the self-invited Wu Changlin.
Gu Yu had always been worried that Gu Mengyao was too soft and would be bullied by others. Fortunately, seeing her tough demeanor now, he knew he had worried for nothing.
Not only was his own little wife beautiful, but she also had a strong presence and could hold her own.
“Gu Yu, have you thought about it? If it weren’t for my help these past two years, your family would have been drinking the northwest wind long ago.”
“Heh heh, then thank you very much.”
“Since you know, quickly hand the wild boar over to me, and this matter will be over. I will also continue to support your family.”
“It’s too late. The wild boar has already been sold by me. Or… should I also hand over the money from selling the wild boar to you?”
“…”
Seeing Wu Changlin’s “I’m the best in the world” attitude, Gu Yu felt a surge of annoyance.
This guy was never satisfied with taking advantage. Now he’s saying such shameless things. He’s truly shameless.
Therefore, Gu Yu didn’t give him any face.
As Gu Yu said, the wild boar had been sold. There was no wild boar! However, there was money from selling the wild boar. It depended on whether Wu Changlin was truly shameless enough to want the money as well.
Clearly, Wu Changlin’s thick skin wasn’t *that* thick, and he knew he had no reason to ask for the money.
However, after hearing that the wild boar had been sold, his expression turned as grim as if he had been constipated for several days.
Then, Wu Changlin looked at Gu Yu with malicious eyes, which made Gu Mengyao, who was sitting opposite him, also turn cold. She directly reached out and held Gu Yu’s hand, her entire aura becoming sharp.
Her experience of constantly wandering in the mountains and dealing with ferocious beasts made Gu Mengyao different from other women who did embroidery at home. Her presence was no less than that of a man.
Especially now, holding Gu Yu’s hand tightly, as solemnly as if declaring her territory, made Wu Changlin, who was sitting opposite her, stunned. He then lowered his head, not daring to meet Gu Mengyao’s gaze.
When Wu Changlin lowered his head, Gu Mengyao withdrew her gaze.
Her previous enthusiasm towards him was only because of mutual benefit. But now, when Gu Yu was involved, Gu Mengyao’s attitude instantly turned cold.
Gu Mengyao was unwilling to argue, but she didn’t expect Wu Changlin to be so presumptuous, thinking that acting as an agent for selling prey was taken for granted. He didn’t even consider how much money he had kept from the price difference he charged, hoarding it secretly.
