Chapter 19 He can lie until the end of time
“Brother-in-law, what matter does the village chief have to find you for?”
“He said he wants people in the village who don’t have a place to live to come and stay, and since our house is quite big, there should be a place to live.”
“Hehe, and then!”
“Then? How could I let others come and disturb me? Having you as a lightbulb is already enough, absolutely no more!”
“…”
This day, after watching the village chief leave, Gu Qingheng quickly leaned in and asked Gu Yu, guessing in his heart… Did the village chief come to tell his brother-in-law about housing matters this time?
As a result, Gu Qingheng guessed correctly!
However, after hearing the words ‘lightbulb’ from Gu Yu’s mouth, Gu Qingheng directly rolled his eyes.
He knew this would happen!
My brother-in-law always finds him troublesome… Humph, he’s going to be a lightbulb!
“Brother-in-law, didn’t you say no, so the village chief gave up so easily?”
“Or what! Don’t forget, we have a lot of grain reserves at home now. The village chief wouldn’t dare to offend the Gu family for anyone. Not to mention, your sister’s official position is still there!”
While speaking, Gu Yu was not standing foolishly in the courtyard. Instead, he walked towards the house, thinking about lying on the bed for a while longer. It would be very comfortable to sleep in again.
When Gu Qingheng saw Gu Yu walking into the house, he knew his brother-in-law was going to be lazy again. So, he quickly raised his hand to stop Gu Yu, and at the same time, he pointed towards the kitchen, signaling that Mengyao was still cooking and he shouldn’t let his sister find out!
Regarding Gu Yu’s habit of always wanting to lie down, Mengyao and her brother found it incredible, as if given a bed, he could lie there forever.
It’s better to move around more!
So, when Gu Yu thought he could lie down for a while longer after the earthquake, Mengyao and her brother stared at him closely, giving him no opportunity to lie down.
Gu Qingheng was fine, always playing with Gu Yu…
But Mengyao was like an eagle catching a chick, her intention to press Gu Yu onto the bed was very obvious, making Gu Yu not dare to continue lazing in bed, for fear that if he lay there any longer, his chastity would disappear.
Now, seeing Gu Qingheng pointing to the kitchen, Gu Yu naturally understood his intention. He didn’t move further, but picked up a broom out of boredom and started sweeping the fallen leaves in the courtyard.
Spring went and autumn came, time passed too quickly, it had only been two years since Mengyao came of age, which made Gu Yu very happy, thinking that after his little wife came of age, he wouldn’t have to be chased by Mengyao all day long.
Instead, the roles would be reversed, and it would be his turn to catch Mengyao!
When that day comes, he will definitely get revenge…
“Brother-in-law, what are you smiling foolishly at? It’s so creepy!”
“Go, go, why are you still here!”
“I’m going to the village to inquire about gossip. Brother-in-law, do you want to go with me? It’s much more interesting than sweeping the yard. You can hear all sorts of interesting gossip.”
“No, as soon as I get there, a bunch of people will come to ask this and that! The last time was even funnier, someone actually asked me if I wanted to take a concubine… Were their brains kicked by a donkey? They actually asked such a fatal question. If your sister wasn’t here, she would have fought with them.”
“Haha, my sister wouldn’t fight with them! With just a glare, she can scare the villagers quite a bit. Where would they dare to say these things!”
Hearing Gu Yu speak with a depressed look, Gu Qingheng couldn’t help but smile, and then he didn’t pester Gu Yu anymore. Instead, he happily walked towards the village alone, preparing to get the latest gossip.
Gu Yu also deeply admired his brother-in-law’s interest in gossip. He persisted religiously, and whenever he had free time, he would go to inquire about gossip. Even professional paparazzi were not as persistent as Gu Qingheng…
Looking at the back of his brother-in-law leaving, Gu Yu shook his head helplessly. Then he continued to hold the broom in his hand and swept the ground again and again, preparing to clean up all the fallen leaves in the courtyard before Gu Qingheng returned.
It is also autumn coming, and when there are more fallen leaves, the weather is also gradually getting colder.
Although the wind felt quite cool on the body… but if it blew for a long time, the body would involuntarily shiver, and goosebumps would appear from the cold.
It has been quite some time since the earthquake. Currently, apart from the collapse of houses and the death of too many livestock, nothing else has happened. This has made the rebuilding of the reservoir in Yang Family Village seem a bit foolish, and clearly useless.
However, since it was something the village chief insisted on doing, the other villagers didn’t say much, just went along with the village chief for a few days.
During this time, the village chief also assigned people whose houses were gone to other families, and at the same time gave a warning that they could only live there for a maximum of three months. During this period, they must rebuild their houses or find a good place to live, and they cannot live with others all the time.
Moreover, living with others is not for free.
If they have money, they pay money. If they don’t have money, they help with work.
Under this arrangement, some people who had ulterior motives also gave up their ideas and earnestly began to consider their future.
Living there permanently, even if they didn’t pay money, they still had to work while being looked down upon. No one would be willing to do that!
Moreover, the village chief also said that they would have to move out in three months…
As for the village chief coming to Gu Yu to talk about housing matters, it was because some of the most demanding people in the village had specifically requested to live in the Gu family’s house. Even if the village chief reasoned with them until his mouth was dry, it was useless; they still insisted on living in the Gu family’s house.
The village chief naturally knew the thoughts of these people. They were nothing more than seeing the Gu family’s good living conditions and wanting to take the opportunity to enjoy themselves at the Gu family’s house. But they didn’t consider Gu Yu’s personality, how he could let them enjoy themselves.
Suffering was almost the same.
However, even though the village chief said so, these people did not give up, and insisted that the village chief go and talk to Gu Yu.
What if he agreed!
The village chief was so annoyed that he went to the Gu family in front of several people. After getting a clear refusal from Gu Yu, when the village chief went back to tell them, these people still didn’t believe it and said doubtfully… The village chief never told Gu Yu about this matter, did he?
This angered the village chief immensely. He directly dropped a sentence, “You can go and tell Gu Yu yourselves!”, and then left with his hands behind his back.
Truly ungrateful.
If he hadn’t been worried that these few people would have nowhere to sleep, he wouldn’t have cared so much. He even felt ashamed to ask Gu Yu about these things. These people were still hesitating, which was truly infuriating!
The next time he managed these matters, he would be a big fool!
Thinking about this, the village chief no longer had any desire to wander around the village. Instead, he directly returned home to practice calligraphy and calm his mind!
As for those who wanted to move into the Gu family’s house, they eventually found their way to the Gu family themselves, wanting to discuss with Gu Yu whether they could move in. While living there, they would also do more work.
Consider it like raising a few workers at home, wouldn’t that be great?
However, Gu Yu clearly had no good impression of anyone who wanted to be a lightbulb. Before even seeing them, he immediately let Little Black and its mate out, which scared these people so much that they ran away crying and screaming, and never dared to come to the Gu family again.
As for what happened next, the village chief directly arranged dilapidated houses with no occupants, and let those few people make do with living there.
