Chapter 152: Little Black, You’re Awesome!
With Little Black being so effective, Gu Yu and Gu Qingheng were naturally overjoyed, thinking how fortunate it was!
Little Black, you’re awesome!
Originally, Mengyao Gu suspected that the bear that set fire to the Old Yang family was Little Black, as she had only ever seen such a clever bear in Little Black. However, now that Little Black had brought back a female bear, Mengyao Gu’s suspicions were dispelled.
There were other bears in the mountains.
Moreover, the female bear looked docile and did not intend to attack them.
Even more so, seeing the curiosity in the female bear’s eyes, Mengyao Gu wondered if all animals had become spirits now.
“This… Little Black, is this your wife?”
“Ao ao!”
Gu Qingheng looked at the brown female bear in front of him, and with a curious expression, walked up to Little Black. After he asked, Little Black immediately nodded proudly.
It extended a bear paw and pointed to itself, then to the brown bear next to it, and then brought its two bear paws together to make a heart gesture.
This left the three people present stunned, thinking how Little Black was getting smarter and smarter!
Now, it could even make a heart gesture with its bear paws…
When Gu Yu saw this scene, his expression was one of slight helplessness. He then took out a few carrots soaked in spring water from his space and gave them to Little Black and its wife to eat, after which he put both bears back into his space.
He had only let Little Black go up the mountain for a while, and it had brought back another bear…
If he continued to let Little Black out in the future, wouldn’t he be able to bring back even more bears!
“Alright, alright, Little Black just brought back its wife. We should hurry back to eat! By the time we take the food out of the space, it will be cold!”
“Mmm.”
After putting away the two bears, Gu Yu did not want to stand foolishly at the main entrance anymore. As soon as he finished speaking, Mengyao Gu and Gu Qingheng nodded, and the three of them returned to the dining table in the main room to eat their belated lunch.
By the time Gu Yu and Mengyao Gu woke up, it was already close to one o’clock. They had slept for quite some time.
And when they had just woken up, they had to eat immediately, so they couldn’t eat much.
However, Gu Qingheng was in his growth stage, and he had also consumed a lot of energy running around the village before, so he was eating heartily now with a very good appetite.
Although, it was also because the food Gu Yu brought out was quite delicious, making Gu Qingheng enjoy it very much…
“Qingheng, while we were sleeping, did you gather any information in the village?”
“What information could there be! After the Old Yang family was driven away, Yang Family Village is about to explode. In places with many people in the village, everyone is discussing this matter. Looking at their spirited appearance, it’s probably going to spread throughout Lian Town by tomorrow.”
“The whole of Lian Town? That’s a bit exaggerated!”
“What’s exaggerated about that! Last time we were in the Capital, didn’t we also take advantage of the power of rumors to make the Wang Clan leader suffer a great loss! Brother-in-law, you mustn’t underestimate this! However, if you don’t believe me, I can let you try it, it’ll be absolutely exhilarating!”
“Forget it! Now that the Old Yang family has been driven away, my name has probably spread. People will know that the Gu family’s live-in son-in-law, relying on the might of his official wife, drove away the poor and helpless Old Yang family from the village… I guess some people are already starting to curse me behind my back!”
Gu Yu had originally wanted to add some fun during the meal, so he asked his brother-in-law what information he had gathered. However, after hearing Gu Qingheng’s words, Gu Yu’s eyebrows couldn’t help but twitch upwards. He then smiled and shook his head, not believing that the news would spread throughout Lian Town.
When he had set a trap for Xu Wang in the Capital, it was also because the flow of people in various parts of the Capital was large, and the Wang Clan was very famous, which allowed the matter to proceed smoothly.
However, the Old Yang family now was not the Wang Clan. They were only famous near Yang Family Village.
If they went to other villages, no one would even know about such a person.
Moreover, the people who moved around in various villages were mostly daughters returning home to visit relatives, and they would gossip a bit.
Relying on these, it was impossible for the news to spread throughout Lian Town.
However, Gu Qingheng looked confident, firmly believing that it would be all the rage in Lian Town tomorrow.
Gu Yu’s thoughts were not wrong, but he overlooked the fact that the Gu family was also very powerful now. Especially since Mengyao Gu was the first woman in Linfeng Kingdom to become an official, there were many people paying attention to this side.
After seeing how things unfolded today, they would definitely report back before passing the information on…
Gu Qingheng himself felt that… it would definitely be more powerful than the gossiping little wives and old aunties in the village, so spreading it throughout Lian Town was a piece of cake!
“A’Yu, don’t bother with those people. We just need to live our own lives well!”
Hearing Gu Yu say this, Mengyao Gu smiled slightly and didn’t say much more, just comforting Gu Yu not to overthink. As long as they didn’t hear what others said, it was fine!
At this moment, Mengyao Gu truly felt fortunate to have become an official. Otherwise, she wouldn’t have been able to drive away the Old Yang family so smoothly, and the villagers would not have been able to speak ill of the Gu family.
Otherwise, if the Gu family pursued the matter, they could be directly imprisoned.
Since ancient times, the class difference between officials and civilians meant different privileges were enjoyed.
However, Mengyao Gu would not use her privileges to oppress people. It was merely an effective threat method that could resolve problems faster.
“Of course I won’t bother with them. I was just sighing. But, thankfully, everything is over, and now we can continue living our own little lives!”
“Heh heh… But, there’s still that monster culprit that hasn’t been resolved! Since we guessed that it was sent by the mysterious person, they probably won’t give up! Brother-in-law, hurry up and finish the land work, so that the bad guys can be found out!”
“This is not something that can be completed by me being anxious. I still need to see if the village chief’s follow-up work is done. If there are no major problems, I can go and help at the county office.”
While Gu Yu was explaining to Mengyao Gu to avoid her worrying, Gu Qingheng, who was sitting opposite them, suddenly spoke, bringing up the monster culprit who had killed people in Lian Town.
Although the strange conglomerated monster had already been caught, according to Gu Yu’s speculation, new monsters might appear later… This made Gu Qingheng a little worried, and he didn’t want to see any more casualties!
However, with his own abilities, he couldn’t help much.
It still depended on his brother-in-law!
However, after hearing Gu Qingheng’s words, Gu Yu’s expression was one of slight helplessness, thinking that the land issue here was not something that could be resolved quickly.
Moreover, compared to the usual more tedious handling methods, the current land-related matters had already been resolved quite quickly!
“Is Gu Yu at home? The matter you entrusted me to handle has been completed.”
“Haha, Brother-in-law, it’s the village chief’s voice. I’ll go open the door right away.”
Just as Gu Yu and Gu Qingheng were talking, the village chief’s voice suddenly sounded from outside the main door. Hearing this, Gu Qingheng immediately put down his bowl and chopsticks happily and went to open the door for the village chief.
