Chapter 27: Sister Will Cover You From Now On
Gu Yu relaxed after Changlin Wu left.
Before, Gu Yu had been worried that Gu Mengyao, unwilling to give up hunting, would continue to sell prey at a loss just to build a good relationship with Changlin Wu and hunt together in the future.
Who knew that Gu Yu had thought too much.
The current situation was clearly the opposite. Otherwise, why would Changlin Wu’s expression suddenly change when Gu Mengyao said she wouldn’t hunt together from now on?
Perhaps his wife possessed special skills, like being able to kill a wild boar with one blow…
While transporting the wild boar to town, Gu Yu, with nothing else to do, examined the cause of the wild boar’s death. After all, he had almost been killed by a wild boar at noon. Now, seeing the corpse of a dead wild boar made Gu Yu extremely curious.
Such a fierce and formidable wild boar was actually dead!
Moreover, he wondered how Gu Mengyao’s frail little body had managed to kill the wild boar?
As a result… Gu Yu became confused after discovering the wild boar’s fatal wound.
The reason was simple: this wild boar had been bludgeoned to death!
Although he didn’t know if the several hundred pounds of wild boar had been lifted and smashed to death or killed using a plan, the tragic appearance of being bludgeoned made Gu Yu’s mouth twitch involuntarily at the time.
If he told anyone that a little girl had smashed a big wild boar to death, no one would believe him!
Therefore, seeing Changlin Wu’s reaction now, Gu Yu strongly suspected… that Gu Mengyao was a super-powered loli, capable of smashing a wild boar to death. Otherwise, why would Changlin Wu be so reluctant to hunt with her!
“Yu, are you okay!”
“?”
“If Changlin Wu causes you trouble in the future, I will step in and teach him a lesson.”
Just as Gu Yu was pondering what his wife’s special abilities were, Gu Mengyao, who had been sitting on a stool, spoke, drawing Gu Yu’s thoughts back.
Seeing the serious look on Gu Mengyao’s face, as if she meant ‘Sister will cover you from now on,’ made Gu Yu feel a mix of amusement and exasperation.
Alas, thinking too much was useless. They should focus on their lives at home first.
However, Gu Mengyao’s statement made Gu Yu feel very comforted and pleased.
He knew that his little wife was still very obedient. Although she was a bit stubborn at home, she gave him a lot of face in front of outsiders.
Therefore, Gu Yu smiled and took Gu Mengyao’s hand. After her cheeks flushed, Gu Yu let go with satisfaction and then placed forty-four taels of silver on the table.
For a moment, Gu Mengyao and Gu Qingheng stared, their eyes wide. They had never seen so much money before and felt as if they were dreaming. Gu Qingheng even raised his hand to rub his eyes, unsure if it was real.
Although Gu Yu didn’t want his young brother-in-law to see the silver, it would eventually be revealed in the future, so it was better to let him know now.
Just by looking at how he had defended Gu Mengyao earlier, Gu Yu felt that Gu Qingheng, despite his young age, had a good personality.
It was also thanks to Gu Mengyao’s usual good upbringing that this eight-year-old brat had become so sensible and obedient.
Because he loved Gu Mengyao, Gu Yu found Gu Qingheng particularly pleasing to the eye that day.
Gu Yu planned to build a house later, and this money couldn’t just be kept hidden. They needed a plausible reason to use it.
When Gu Yu had first earned the money, he had been contemplating what method he could use to openly take out the silver.
After all, their home had always been bare. Suddenly taking out a large sum of money to build a house would be too conspicuous.
Before Gu Yu could come up with a plan, Gu Mengyao had an accident! However, although Gu Mengyao’s injury made Gu Yu unhappy, selling the hunted wild boar provided a reason to produce the silver.
Gu Mengyao had even gotten injured for this money, so Gu Yu decided to build a blue brick and tile house this time.
Mud-brick houses were too poor. If they were going to build, they would build the best!
