Chapter 72: The Deep Love for My Brother-in-law!
After being reluctantly driven out by Mengyao Gu, Gu Yu looked at the main door of his house, thinking that Zhuo Fei must not pass the test!
He didn’t want to hear that annoying news when he returned!
And now, he had to go to the county office to have a chat with Magistrate Bai.
Regarding the water level in Lian Town dropping, he wanted to see if Magistrate Bai knew about it… His brother-in-law must have thought of this, which is why he dug a pit for him to jump into!
“When I return, I will definitely deal with Gu Qingheng properly for setting a trap for me.”
As Gu Yu walked towards Lian Town, he also figured it out. He knew it was Gu Qingheng who had set a trap for him when he wasn’t paying attention, which led to this situation.
At least, Gu Qingheng had shown Zhuo Fei’s letter to Mengyao Gu, and there would be no obstacles.
This was because Gu Yu, who was the biggest obstacle, now needed to go to town to meet Magistrate Bai, so he naturally wouldn’t have the chance to interfere with the normal progress of the test.
Although Gu Yu was furious about the trap set by his brother-in-law, he also knew that he was too careless, which gave Gu Qingheng an opportunity.
If he had been a little more vigilant when he saw that Gu Qingheng’s door was not closed at the beginning, things wouldn’t have gone so smoothly.
Thinking of this, Gu Yu was also pondering… this grudge could not go unavenged.
When he had the chance in the future, he would also trap his brother-in-law.
Only then could he express his deep love for his brother-in-law!
“Instructor Husband, why did you come over? Is Instructor Gu okay!”
“Can I give these gifts to Instructor Gu? We really can’t get away, so I have to trouble you!”
“Instructor Husband, I also have gifts for Instructor Gu.”
When Gu Yu arrived at the county office, because the bailiffs were very familiar with Gu Yu, they did not stop him at all. They even enthusiastically asked Gu Yu about Mengyao Gu.
They wanted to entrust Gu Yu with sending small gifts to express their longing for their instructor.
If it weren’t for the fact that they couldn’t leave Lian Town, they would have gone to Yang Family Village to see Instructor Gu long ago. However, after Magistrate Bai commanded them not to leave the town, they were also very helpless!
The situation in town had improved a lot, yet Magistrate Bai still said that… it was clearly because they wanted to give gifts to Instructor Gu and he was being jealous.
What a narrow-minded magistrate!
Gu Yu naturally refused these bailiffs’ requests with a smile.
He didn’t like his little wife receiving gifts from other men, especially if he was the one delivering them, even if these bailiffs only admired Mengyao Gu.
“Gu Yu, why are you in town? Isn’t Captain Gu Xiao here? Since she helped train the bailiffs in town, they have changed so much. If I hadn’t seen the training process with my own eyes, I wouldn’t believe such a big change could happen!”
After Gu Yu made some excuses, he also arrived at Magistrate Bai’s location. Upon seeing Gu Yu, Magistrate Bai was very surprised, wondering what strange wind had blown him to the county office!
When Magistrate Bai saw Gu Yu, he subconsciously looked around, wanting to see if Mengyao Gu had come with him.
If she had come, he would have thanked her properly.
Without Mengyao Gu’s training, the bailiffs in the county office would not have been reborn and become much more proactive… especially when doing things, compared to their previous lazy appearance, it was a huge difference!
“Mengyao has matters to attend to at home, so I came to visit alone this time.”
“Oh? What is it?”
“It’s about the recent situation of the water level in the village dropping. Have you heard about it, Magistrate Bai?”
Gu Yu wasn’t jealous of his little wife being so popular. Instead, he was proud that Mengyao Gu was so amazing.
Such a powerful woman, she was his wife!
His wife who would act cute and kiss him at night, hehehe…
However, when Magistrate Bai heard Gu Yu’s words, his expression immediately became serious. Seeing this, Gu Yu guessed that the magistrate knew about this matter.
It seemed that the situation of the water level dropping was already very serious.
“Alas, I only found out about this matter in the past few days. I believe you are asking this question because you have already seen the water level in the village dropping! If so, I will not say any more nonsense… The earth dragon that appeared this time is very powerful. Our town is still considered good, but other towns have suffered heavy losses. The upper reaches of the river that almost runs through the entire Lian Town have been cut off by collapsed land, causing the water source to decrease.”
Listening to Magistrate Bai’s long explanation, Gu Yu understood the reason.
It was related to the earthquake, but it was different from what he had speculated.
It was just that the upper reaches of the river were blocked, not that the river had dried up.
This was a relief.
“Is that so! I thought the river had dried up…”
“Although it hasn’t, it will soon.”
“?”
“The earth dragon in Mingpan Town is even more powerful, causing the river to be blocked from there. If the collapsed area is not cleaned up, the water source in Lian Town will continue to decrease, and eventually, there will be great chaos!”
Seeing Gu Yu’s relieved expression, Magistrate Bai smiled wryly and shook his head, indicating that this matter was not so easy.
As long as the collapsed section in Mingpan Town was not cleaned up, the water source in Lian Town would continue to decrease until drinking water had to be rationed.
This situation gave Magistrate Bai a headache, but he was too busy with the refugee problem to manage it before.
However, after the refugees were resolved, Magistrate Bai found… he was still at a loss.
How to restore the river water in Mingpan Town was a problem that made him want to tear his hair out but still couldn’t solve it!
Upon hearing Magistrate Bai’s words, Gu Yu narrowed his eyes slightly, thought for a moment in his heart, and then realized that if the water source problem could not be resolved, it would cause many unnecessary troubles, and their Gu family would also be implicated.
With the refugees already making life extremely difficult, the problem of not having water to drink would be even more annoying.
Therefore, this problem had to be solved.
And now, looking around… only he could solve it!
Although Mengyao Gu possessed innate divine strength, bringing her to Mingpan Town could also move the huge stones, which would be more convenient and less troublesome than bringing dozens of big men.
However, Gu Yu did not want to trouble his wife.
If he could solve it, there was no need for Mengyao Gu’s help.
“Magistrate Bai, where is this Mingpan Town?”
With this in mind, Gu Yu did not hesitate any longer. At this moment, he asked Magistrate Bai, wanting to know the location of Mingpan Town so that it would be convenient to go and inspect it.
And also to solve the problem of the blocked water source.
