Chapter 25 – Aren’t you curious?
Since Gu Yu distributed wild boar meat in the village last time, many villagers have been thinking kindly of the Gu family.
Afterwards, they sent over quite a bit of eggs, jujubes, and other things. Although the prices weren’t very high, they were still the villagers’ kind thoughts, so Gu Yu accepted them without refusal.
Not everyone in the village was a hateful person; there were still many people with sound values who knew how to be grateful.
This was also the reason why Gu Yu did not retaliate against the entire village. He wanted those hateful people to suffer the consequences of their actions, rather than innocent people being implicated.
After the villagers who had diarrhea recovered, they began to suspect that something was wrong. They thought that perhaps their previous actions had angered Gu Yu, which was why their stomachs had ached for so long…
After all, Gu Yu’s medical skills were famously good!
It wasn’t that no one felt wronged and wanted to find Gu Yu to clarify things. But thinking about the suffering they had endured from diarrhea… if they were drugged by Gu Yu again, it would be worse than death!
Moreover, Gu Yu was now a famous major grain producer in the town.
Compared to Mengyao Gu, whose official position was not highly regarded, Gu Yu, this man, made the villagers more apprehensive.
Just by his age, it was known that the Gu family had a man who could support the family.
This was also the reason why Mengyao Gu initially arranged for Gu Yu to marry into the family. She wanted to find someone who could shoulder the responsibility before Gu Qingheng grew up.
At that time, Gu Yu was the best candidate.
If it weren’t for that, things wouldn’t have developed to this point.
However, if Gu Yu hadn’t transmigrated, with the original body’s cowardly personality…
It might have been a tragic ending.
“Brother-in-law, brother-in-law, bad news! The grain store in Lian Town was robbed.”
One day, as Gu Yu was leisurely basking in the sun in the courtyard, Gu Qingheng’s voice rang out from outside the door. Gu Yu heard it and rolled over speechlessly, thinking that his younger brother-in-law was always so flustered, which was not good!
He needed to be more steady.
So what if the grain store in Lian Town was robbed? It wasn’t his grain store anyway.
Without any losses, there was no need to make such a fuss.
“I… heard… from… the villagers…”
“Stop, stop, stop. Catch your breath first, then speak. What are you saying in broken sentences! Look at how you’re panting.”
When Gu Qingheng ran up to Gu Yu, he was so out of breath that he couldn’t even speak clearly. Gu Yu was also confused.
After Gu Qingheng finally caught his breath, he patted his chest and calmed down.
When he heard the news in the village just now, Gu Qingheng was very surprised, which was why he ran back in such a hurry to tell Gu Yu.
“Brother-in-law, this morning, a grain store in Lian Town was completely looted. They didn’t even leave a single grain of rice behind.”
“Just like that?”
“What do you mean ‘just like that’! Nothing like this has ever happened in Lian Town before. The villagers are all saying that the times have changed, and Lian Town is about to fall into chaos! Some people are also saying that a large number of refugees have appeared near Lian Town, and there may be a lot of arson and looting in the future!”
“Don’t listen to their nonsense. The robbery hasn’t been solved yet, and everything is just speculation! Besides, even if things go into chaos or there are refugees, we still have your sister at home!”
When Gu Yu heard about the robbery of the grain store in Lian Town, he was also surprised. He didn’t expect that Lian Town, with its strict management, would have such an incident. He thought Magistrate Bai would be troubled by this.
However, after hearing the news Gu Qingheng inquired about from the village, Gu Yu directly shook his head. He obviously didn’t believe such rumors and decided to wait for the investigation results.
Even if it were true, with Mengyao Gu at home.
Or, if they let Little Black and his mate out, there would be nothing to worry about.
“So, brother-in-law, let’s go to town to take a look! We don’t have anything to do now anyway. Why not go to town for a stroll and find out what happened?”
“Don’t you want to go to town to find Magistrate Bai and get some information?”
“Hehe, let’s go!”
Upon hearing Gu Yu’s words, Gu Qingheng’s little face couldn’t help but smile sheepishly, looking like he had a successful scheme. Gu Yu inwardly thought it was bad, wondering if he had been tricked!
And when he heard Gu Qingheng’s subsequent words, Gu Yu realized he had indeed been tricked!
This little sly fellow!
“I’m not going. If I have that much time, I’d rather lie down at home, it’s so comfortable!”
“Brother-in-law, please take me with you! Aren’t you curious?”
“Not curious.”
However, Gu Yu was not someone who could be easily manipulated. So, at this moment, he smiled slightly at Gu Qingheng, then rolled over and continued to bask in the sun in another direction.
He had finally managed to get some rest while Mengyao Gu was out. Although it wasn’t on the bed, but on a chair, it was still quite comfortable.
Gu Yu’s actions made Gu Qingheng a little helpless. He didn’t expect his brother-in-law to become so lazy now…
However, he still had a way to deal with him.
“How about this! Brother-in-law, if you go with me, then in the future, when you’re being lazy and sleeping at home, I won’t tell my sister, okay? I can even keep watch for you.”
“That’s more like it! Let’s go, let’s go to town to see.”
After hearing Gu Qingheng’s words, Gu Yu immediately nodded with satisfaction. He no longer refused and took Gu Qingheng to town, preparing to go to the robbed grain store to check the situation.
From the beginning, Gu Yu was waiting for Gu Qingheng to say this.
After all, it felt uncomfortable not being able to be lazy at home, but he couldn’t escape the watchful eyes of Mengyao Gu and her brother.
Now that his younger brother-in-law had opened a back door for him, Gu Yu was naturally overjoyed, thinking that he could finally sleep in bed during the day!
However, before leaving, he still had to make some arrangements to prevent shameless people from coming to steal things when no one was at home in the Gu family.
In this situation, he could just let Little Black and his mate out.
If Xi Yang was still in the space, he could let him guard the house… However, because Xi Yang’s poison was almost used up, he was going to the Alliance in the capital to buy some, and also inquire about the specific situation in the capital. He could then come back and tell Gu Yu.
As for whether Xi Yang, who had already left the Alliance, would be walking into a trap if he went back, Gu Yu had asked Xi Yang this question, and Xi Yang had confidently shaken his head, saying there would be no problem.
During the time he was working for the Gu family, Xi Yang was not always kept idle in the space.
When he had free time, Gu Yu would let Xi Yang out to breathe fresh air. Mengyao Gu would also teach him from time to time, which greatly improved Xi Yang’s lightness skill.
Furthermore, by eating food from the space spring water series, Xi Yang’s body had also become much stronger.
At this moment, he was completely different from before, so there was no need to worry about being caught by people from the Alliance.
Fortunately, he had come into contact with the Gu family; otherwise, he wouldn’t have become this formidable.
