Chapter 31 Gradual Infiltration
If it weren’t for worrying about Mengyao Gu and her brother, Gu Yu might have directly started cursing.
The people of the Old Yang family were all bad, like a group of leeching insects, not only draining Gu Yu’s father to death but then transferring their predatory behavior to Gu Yu.
As for Gu Yu’s father hitting himself to death in front of the Old Yang family’s ancestral home, Gu Yu didn’t believe it was because his cheap father had a change of heart. After all, if he were truly that filial, the matter of becoming a live-in son-in-law would never have happened. Why would he wait so long to crash himself to death!
If he truly wanted to repay their kindness, seeing the Gu siblings were young and Gu Yu was a sickly child, it was impossible to feel at ease, no matter how you thought about it!
Something must have happened in between, likely the Old Yang family binding him with filial piety… However, since Gu Yu was no longer the original person, he had no intention of pursuing this matter.
He now wanted to draw a clear line with the Old Yang family. Even if he were to pursue it, it would only lead to endless entanglements.
Although his cheap father was dead, he had given Gu Yu a reason. Since he now bore the surname Gu, Gu Yu wouldn’t care even if the Old Yang family died in front of him.
However, he was worried that his wife would be soft-hearted.
Through what happened yesterday, Gu Yu knew that Mengyao Gu was not as weak as she appeared on the surface, but a decisive girl.
But when it came to Gu Yu’s relatives, it was different. After all, even honest officials found it difficult to judge family matters.
But Gu Yu didn’t want the Old Yang family to take even half a bite of his advantage. Therefore, he had to set Mengyao Gu’s mindset straight today.
Why should Mengyao Gu’s hard-earned prey be enjoyed by the Old Yang family people?
Now, even the silver he earned had to be handed over!
When they were hungry and cold, why did no one come to help!
“A’Yu, I felt a bit upset when I saw you sending things to the Old Yang family’s ancestral home before… But hearing you say that now, I feel like I was too narrow-minded.”
“It’s not your fault. After all, I never told you. But now I’m completely disheartened with the Old Yang family. If they use this opportunity to cling to us again, I’ll be even more upset.”
“Mmm, I won’t do anything that makes you upset.”
In the end, perhaps because Gu Yu’s appearance of being completely disheartened was too pathetic, Mengyao Gu couldn’t help but nod towards Gu Yu. Her words clearly indicated her intention not to interact with the people from the Old Yang family anymore.
At that time, while she didn’t expect Mengyao Gu to forcefully drive out the Old Yang family, she also wouldn’t be bullied.
If the people from the Old Yang family were allowed to come over here and continue to exploit them, Gu Yu would definitely, on a day when no one was around, grab a stick, put a sack on their backs, and give them a good beating.
Gu Yu had already shown his intention not to have any dealings with the Old Yang family. He believed that with gradual infiltration, Mengyao Gu and her brother would believe Gu Yu’s determination to truly no longer contact the Old Yang family.
After successfully handling Mengyao Gu, as Gu Yu lowered his head and pretended to be sad, the corners of his mouth couldn’t help but curl upwards. He was extremely happy inside.
However, the consequence of being too proud was that his cheap younger brother-in-law saw Gu Yu secretly smiling. He then let out a mischievous chuckle, which made Mengyao Gu somewhat confused.
She didn’t know why her younger brother was suddenly laughing.
Seeing Mengyao Gu’s bewildered expression, Gu Yu couldn’t help but raise his hand and tap her little nose with his fingertips. As Mengyao Gu blushed, the smile in Gu Yu’s eyes became even more apparent.
After transmigrating to ancient times, it actually wasn’t bad.
In modern times, Gu Yu often didn’t even have a smile on his face and had to endure the cold violence from his family… Although the ancient times he transmigrated to lacked clothes and food, and he became a live-in son-in-law at a very young age, fortunately, no one restrained him.
He also had a beautiful little loli as his wife, along with a lively younger brother-in-law, and the help of his spatial cheat. These days were quite fulfilling.
After the shyness passed, Mengyao Gu still hadn’t forgotten why her younger brother, Gu Qingheng, had suddenly chuckled mischievously. Her curious gaze couldn’t help but turn towards him.
But both Gu Yu and Gu Qingheng had no intention of explaining. They just buried their heads in eating the coarse grain porridge in their bowls. The feeling of being accomplices made the two of them feel much closer.
