My Wife is the World’s Greatest Divine Martial General – Chapter 542

Chapter 61 – You’re Just Bragging!

After Little Black started guarding the village, there were indeed no more refugees. However, Little Black’s appetite was quite large. After a week, the village could no longer afford to feed him. When some villagers wanted the village chief to negotiate with the Gu family to have Gu Yu responsible for raising the bear, the village chief did not indulge their unreasonable demands and directly refused. The village chief knew what these villagers were thinking. It was nothing more than the fact that raising the bear consumed too much, and when the village had to share the cost, many people felt it was unfair. They thought that since the black bear was raised by the Gu family before, why couldn’t they continue to do so? But there was no such good thing in the world. They wanted the black bear to protect the village’s safety but did not want to bear the responsibility… The village chief, having clearly felt Gu Yu’s coldness, was not stupid enough to approach him and worsen his relationship with the Gu family. If these people wanted to say something, they could say it themselves. He would not be a fool. Therefore, after the village could no longer afford Little Black, the people of Yang Family Village gathered together and had everyone vote to decide what method would be used to guard the village from now on. Would they continue to supply the black bear with food and drink, letting it guard the village’s safety? Or would the men in the village patrol in shifts? Given the high expenses, most people in the village chose the second option. Let the men in the village patrol; there was no need for every household to feed their grain to a bear, causing their own grain to disappear quickly. Thinking of this, the villagers were filled with envy for the Gu family’s wealth. They couldn’t even feed themselves, but the Gu family could afford to raise a bear! Comparing oneself to others could be infuriating! However, although the Gu family was wealthy, they were also members of Yang Family Village. If the men in the village were to patrol, Gu Yu and Gu Qingheng from the Gu family would also have to contribute and not let others bear the risk of being harmed by refugees. “Village Chief, I have no objections to sending people to patrol! However, why haven’t anyone from the Gu family appeared? Even if they are rich and powerful, they cannot refuse to participate in village affairs.” “Cough, cough, the Gu family has some matters, so they didn’t come… However, I have already explained everything to Gu Yu, so don’t worry.” “Since that’s the case, now that it’s decided, we should also call out the people from the Gu family to join the patrol!” Upon hearing someone mention the Gu family, the village chief coughed a few times with a helpless expression. The words that came out of his mouth then explained why no one from the Gu family had come. However, when others didn’t pursue the matter further, the person who had spoken earlier was still relentless. “Village Chief, aren’t you protecting the Gu family? Today, no matter what we have to say, we came directly. Why does the Gu family have special privileges!” The village chief looked at the person who spoke and saw that it was Yang Qi, who had argued with Gu Yu before. He knew what was going on. He assumed it was because he had a conflict with Gu Yu before, so he wanted to oppose him now. However, Yang Qi, who had just returned to the village, did not know how capable Gu Yu was. Someone like him was simply asking for trouble. “The Gu family does not have special privileges. It’s just that Gu Mengyao was summoned by the magistrate to understand the situation, and Gu Yu and Gu Qingheng accompanied her. If you think you can also be summoned by the magistrate to be questioned… then you can go too. I will not force you to participate in the village’s vote.” “…” “Moreover, regarding the village’s decision to have people patrol, Gu Yu said that his and Gu Qingheng’s health is not too good, so they will not participate. However, they will provide one hundred taels of silver so that the village can buy more grain to store. If you can also provide silver, then you don’t need to patrol.” “…” Afterwards, upon hearing the village chief’s words, Yang Qi’s expression turned red and then white, clearly not expecting this development. It was normal for Gu Mengyao, who held an official position, to be summoned by the magistrate for a few questions. And Gu Yu and Gu Qingheng accompanying them as family members also left no room for argument. Even if Gu Yu directly threw money, it was still a sign that the Gu family was not short of money. Yang Qi could only swallow his frustration. However, he would not let it go just like that… He would definitely teach Gu Yu a good lesson. He had only worked as a helper for his uncle for a few years, but when he returned, he found that not only did Gu Mengyao have a live-in husband, but Gu Yu, who used to be as thin as a bean sprout, had now become respectable, which was truly unbearable. If he hadn’t gone to his uncle’s place, the person who married into the Gu family would have been him! After all, when Gu Mengyao wanted to find someone to marry into the family, he had heard his parents mention it… If he had been braver at that time, perhaps the outcome would not be like this now! Thinking of this, Yang Qi’s face showed a fierce expression, and he became even more displeased with Gu Yu. If he had the chance, he would definitely let Gu Mengyao see that her chosen husband was nothing special. … “Sister, why did Magistrate Bai suddenly summon us?” “I don’t know either. Maybe something happened in town! Ever since the magistrate treated me as a bodyguard last time, I haven’t dared to see Magistrate Bai again. I’m worried that the magistrate will keep me at the county office to live for a while at a time like this.” “Why are you thinking so much? We’ll know when we get there.” On the way to Lian Town, the Gu family trio was unaware of the events in the village… Of course, even if they knew, it wasn’t a big deal. Gu Yu was too lazy to remember an unknown person like Yang Qi. It was Magistrate Bai who suddenly sent someone to summon them that made Gu Mengyao extremely worried, fearing that the magistrate would feel uneasy again and ask her to stay at the county office to guard. After experiencing the days of being treated as bodyguards by the villagers, Gu Mengyao did not want to live such a life again. However, Gu Yu did not think… Magistrate Bai summoning Gu Mengyao was for such a matter. In terms of rank alone, Gu Mengyao and the magistrate were at the same level. Magistrate Bai had no right to order Gu Mengyao to do this or that. Now that Gu Mengyao was summoned, perhaps it was to discuss the matter of refugees in Lian Town. Although she wasn’t going to be a bodyguard, she would still need to suppress others with force… “That’s true. Thinking too much now won’t change the outcome! Let’s talk about something else to avoid being bored on the road.” “Are you going to tell us gossip again?” “No, no, no, I’ll tell you something interesting today. I just inquired about it, and it will definitely interest Brother-in-law!” “You’re just bragging!” Upon hearing Gu Qingheng’s words, Gu Yu didn’t take it to heart, thinking that whatever Gu Qingheng said that interested him was just fooling him. He was only interested in Gu Mengyao and money. Gu Qingheng, seeing Gu Yu like this, mysteriously smiled and then asked Gu Mengyao, “Sister, I heard… the person who wanted to recruit as a live-in son-in-law before wasn’t Brother-in-law!” “What!!!”
