Chapter 29: Where Should the New House Be Built?
Once the idea of building a house was spoken, and seeing that Mengyao Gu and her brother did not object, Gu Yu felt relieved.
He didn’t want to do anything annoying. Even if Mengyao Gu and the others disagreed, Gu Yu would still build a house.
However, he would have to find other reasons then. Fortunately, it was already almost settled, saving Gu Yu the trouble of thinking of excuses to build the house.
“Since that’s the case, let’s build it. Yu is right, we have the confidence to build a house!”
After hearing Gu Qingheng also agree to build the house, Mengyao Gu thought for a moment and then nodded in agreement.
It was clear that Mengyao Gu also wanted to build a house, but she was hesitant for some reason. With both Gu Yu and Gu Qingheng agreeing now, Mengyao Gu felt she was being too cautious.
This money was earned by them, not stolen or robbed. Why couldn’t they build a house!
It had to be said that although Mengyao Gu appeared indifferent on the surface, she was a vengeful person at heart. She had never forgotten the words of others pointing fingers at them when they were unable to eat or wear warm clothes.
“Since everyone agrees to build a house, it’s decided! But where should the land for building the house be allocated? Do you want to live in the village or somewhere else?”
Although no matter how Gu Yu built it, it had to be on the village land, there were still differences.
Like the Gu family now. Because the deceased eldest son of the Gu family was a hunter, for convenience, the house was built near the big mountain, far away from the villagers.
Even though there was a risk of wild beasts coming down the mountain, their family was in the hunting business, so they only set some traps and were not afraid of being gnawed by wild beasts at night.
Of course, these were just the thoughts of the eldest son of the Gu family before he got married. He started to worry only after he actually got married.
He could be fine as a bachelor, but he couldn’t help but consider the delicate wife and children.
However, just as the eldest son of the Gu family was thinking about whether to find a place to rebuild the house, he met with an accident while going up the mountain. His body couldn’t even be brought back, leaving his wife and children to barely survive.
Therefore, Gu Yu asked this question at this time.
Although Gu Yu was not willing to live with the gossipy people in the village, if Mengyao Gu was worried about safety, Gu Yu could endure it.
After all, living at the foot of the mountain was indeed a bit dangerous.
“Yu, Qingheng and I want to continue to stay at the foot of the mountain.”
Fortunately, Mengyao Gu’s subsequent words indicated that she also did not want to live in the village.
This made Gu Yu breathe a sigh of relief, and then he began to ponder where to build the new house.
“Yu, am I really not good enough, just abandoning living in the safe village because I dislike those people and choosing the dangerous foot of the mountain?”
Just as Gu Yu was thinking about where to build the new house, Mengyao Gu saw that he wasn’t speaking and her beautiful eyes were full of anxiety. When she looked at Gu Yu, her words were filled with unease.
Even Gu Qingheng, who was beside them, became nervous, afraid that their request not to live in the village was too much and would make Gu Yu angry.
After all, Gu Yu was different from the siblings Gu Mengyao and Gu Yu, as he had lived in the village since he was a child. Now, rebuilding the house and continuing to live near the mountain, Gu Yu might not be happy about it!
Also, the significant change in Gu Yu that day made Mengyao Gu and Gu Qingheng uneasy.
Gu Yu, whose thoughts were brought back by Mengyao Gu’s words, looked at the uneasy siblings and wondered in his heart if he was too ugly, causing them to be so fearful…
He was also happy not to live in the village!
So he wouldn’t be angry at all. Mengyao Gu and her brother were just overthinking things, but it was also related to Gu Yu’s previous life, and his behavior couldn’t be trusted.
“It’s not bad not living in the village, I’m also too lazy to hear the villagers spread gossip. I was just considering the trivial matters of building a new house, you don’t need to worry.”
After hearing Gu Yu’s explanation, Mengyao Gu and her brother finally felt relieved.
Then, they began an enthusiastic discussion. After all, it was their new house that they would live in in the future, which made the three of them excited for most of the night. When they had discussed enough, Gu Yu, using rest as an excuse, directly sent the excited siblings to sleep, lest they be dispirited during the day.
However, because they needed to get familiar with his little wife, Mengyao Gu stayed in Gu Yu’s room and lay on the same bed with him.
Not only now, but in the future, it was also necessary to develop this habit.
For this, Gu Yu directly made the decision… the new house to be built later would only have two rooms.
Gu Yu and Mengyao Gu would have one room, and the cheap younger brother-in-law would have one room, directly dispelling Mengyao Gu’s idea of living separately.
