Chapter 65 These Light Bulbs!
Although Mengyao had only trained the bailiffs for a week, she couldn’t continue due to the disruption caused by refugees.
However, the effect was very good.
When the bailiffs arrived at the scene of the disturbance, they resolved the refugees who were trying to cause trouble in a few moves.
None of the bailiffs were injured.
This result made Magistrate Bai almost laugh like an old chrysanthemum. Thinking of the changes in the county office bailiffs, he was extremely satisfied at the moment.
If he had known it would turn out like this, he would have invited Mengyao much earlier!
Seeing that the effect was good, Mengyao did not stay in town for long. After giving careful instructions, she was sent away by the bailiffs with reluctance.
However, on the way home, Mengyao suddenly thought… her younger brother was still at Director Qingshan’s place.
She had been busy for several days and hadn’t remembered at all.
When Gu Yu saw that Mengyao wanted to go back to pick up her younger brother, he immediately stopped her, saying that Qingheng was doing quite well at Director Qingshan’s place.
Just now, due to the earthquake, Qingheng had not been able to study properly.
He could take this opportunity to let Qingheng learn more.
This statement successfully made Mengyao give up the idea of picking up her brother. She thought it would be better to wait a while longer!
It would also allow Qingheng to concentrate on his studies and prevent him from chatting about gossip as soon as he returned home.
Although, due to the refugees, people in the village were staying at home, once the situation improved, future developments were uncertain.
However, as Mengyao was thinking this, when she and Gu Yu returned to the village, they found that the situation in the village had indeed improved a lot.
At least, people in the village dared to come out.
After Gu Yu asked a few questions, he found out… that because people in the village had started patrolling, it had given them a sense of security.
Gu Yu was speechless at this result.
Before he and his younger brother-in-law returned, Yang Family Village relied on Mengyao for protection. But now, without Mengyao, they were living quite comfortably, which made people feel very angry.
If they had known this, why would they have troubled Mengyao…
They were just spoiled.
Seeing Gu Yu looking so angry, Mengyao was not that angry anymore. She just thought… it would be better for her to get involved less in the future.
With her help, although it could reassure the villagers, it also made them dependent.
If she hadn’t proactively helped at the beginning, she might not have become the village’s free bodyguard.
However, even if she had to do it all over again, seeing someone in trouble in front of her, Mengyao would still choose to help.
But she would directly refuse other requests from the villagers.
“Mengyao, aren’t you angry? These guys, I’m angry just looking at them now, I want to beat them up! If Little Black didn’t consume too much grain, they would still be enjoying the benefits without worrying about anything else… and you, this free bodyguard, would be used until the refugees leave.”
When talking about the shamelessness of the villagers, Gu Yu became angrier and angrier. But seeing Mengyao smiling, he found his foolish wife very helpless, thinking that after being treated like this by others, how could she still smile!
If it were him, he would have made these people pay the price long ago.
“With you getting angry on my behalf, why should I be angry! Don’t worry, I’m not a fool, I won’t be a free bodyguard for others forever.”
“Still not a fool! My foolish wife, I’m afraid someone will sell you.”
However, after listening to Mengyao’s words, Gu Yu was not as angry as before…
His wife seemed to have a magical power that always made him calm down quickly.
Just like now, he was no longer angry.
Anyway, his wife’s personality was like this, he would just have to watch her more in the future, lest she be bullied by others again.
“Still calling me a foolish wife! Yu, if you keep saying that, I won’t let you sleep in the bed tonight!”
“Cough cough, who said my wife is foolish? That’s not true at all! My wife is the smartest person in the world, even smarter than me.”
“Yu, you’re really good at spewing nonsense… But I like it.”
Walking on the road home, looking at the soon-to-be-reached home gate, after speaking, Mengyao felt she should reward her little husband, so she directly hooked Gu Yu’s neck and gave him a passionate kiss.
This made Gu Yu’s heart sweet, and he felt a little dizzy.
Fortunately, Mengyao did not continue to exude her charming charm. After a quick kiss, she immediately said that she had to go cook, asking Gu Yu to wait obediently for lunch.
Gu Yu was extremely helpless with this little vixen Mengyao, thinking about how he would endure the next two years!
His little wife’s level seemed to be getting higher and higher.
Now she even knew how to play hard to get.
“Lord Gu, we’ve come to collect the grain.”
“Alliance people?”
“Yes! This is a letter given to us by our superiors. They said that Lord Gu might doubt our origin, but after reading the letter, you will believe us.”
Just as Gu Yu was still savoring the sweetness of the moment, a voice suddenly rang out. Immediately, Gu Yu turned his head to look in the direction of the voice and saw more than a dozen masked people appearing before him.
Among them, the leader cupped his fists towards Gu Yu with both hands, his voice very loud.
Before Gu Yu could ask them to prove their identity, the leader immediately took out a letter and handed it to Gu Yu.
After hearing his words, Gu Yu couldn’t help but raise his eyebrows, thinking that this letter must have been arranged by Bai Qian.
Only Empress Bai Qian could think of such thoughtfulness.
Given how similar they were, Bai Qian knew that Gu Yu did not trust others easily, so giving him this letter saved a lot of trouble.
Then, after Gu Yu opened the envelope and quickly read it, he knew that the people standing in front of him were real.
After all, not many people knew that Bai Qian was the boss of the alliance.
Although the letter did not state it directly, the meaning conveyed between the lines allowed Gu Yu to understand what was implied, thus confirming that these people and the letter were real.
“Alright, the grain is all stored in the granary. Go ahead and move it!”
“Yes.”
“Hey! I’ll drive out the bear living in the granary first… Wait, you’ve already arrived?”
“Yes, we have been waiting for Lord Gu to return. We rushed over as soon as we heard the movement.”
“…”
After confirming that the people in front of him were sent by the alliance, Gu Yu did not say much more, but pointed to the granary and let these people move the grain themselves.
However, halfway through Gu Yu’s words, he suddenly realized something.
Did his little wife leave so quickly because she knew these people were coming…
Damn it, these light bulbs!
