Chapter 72 Name
Gu Yu looked at Yang Cao with disdain, and after hearing Gu Yu’s words, Gu Mengyao didn’t say much, just nodded to Gu Yu to show she understood.
Seeing Gu Mengyao being so well-behaved and obedient, Gu Yu wondered if he was overthinking. Even if others were overflowing with sympathy, his little wife wouldn’t be!
From the events that had happened before, Gu Mengyao’s reactions were all to Gu Yu’s liking… If his little wife were a saint, Gu Yu felt he would toil himself to death his entire life.
Fortunately, because of the early death of his parents, Gu Mengyao did not have the indecisiveness of a young girl, only hesitating when facing those she cared about… Discovering this made Gu Yu even more satisfied.
After all, Gu Mengyao was not a cold-blooded and cruel person, she just didn’t misuse her sympathy.
She was quite good to her own people, as Gu Qingheng could attest to.
“By the way, this is the land deed.”
After discussing Yang Cao, Gu Yu suddenly remembered the land deed he got from the Village Chief. He reached into his embrace and directly took out the land deed from his space, preparing to give it to Gu Mengyao for safekeeping.
Although it was very safe in his space, Gu Yu felt it was better to entrust it to Gu Mengyao.
Even though Gu Yu didn’t have a partner before transmigrating, he couldn’t stand that everyone around him did… Based on Gu Yu’s observations, men generally hand over good things proactively after they get them.
That’s why he was giving her the land deed.
“You can keep it. Although outwardly you are a son-in-law who lives with the wife, you don’t have to be like that in our family.”
“Mengyao, don’t overthink it. I just thought… women like to keep valuable things in the family.”
“Brother-in-law, you’re so good to Sister! Let me keep it for Sister!”
However, Gu Mengyao didn’t care about the land deed. She was even afraid that Gu Yu’s male dignity would be hurt, and quickly declined to accept it.
Gu Qingheng, who was sitting nearby, saw the stalemate of the two of them refusing to accept it. He didn’t stand on ceremony, directly reached out and took the land deed, and shamelessly said he would help keep it.
This made Gu Yu’s forehead break out in black lines, and he felt a urge to kick this cheap younger brother-in-law to death.
“Huh? The name written on this land deed is Sister’s name!”
After Gu Qingheng got the land deed, his eyes glanced over it a few times, and then he immediately exclaimed in surprise upon finding that the name written on it was Gu Mengyao.
When Gu Mengyao heard that her name was on the land deed, her expression also froze, clearly not understanding… why her name would appear on the land deed.
Even though Gu Mengyao was the head of household now, all the money was earned by Gu Yu. The money earned from selling wild boars wasn’t even enough for the blue brick and tile house and perimeter wall they built, which clearly meant Gu Yu had to pay out of his own pocket.
Although it wasn’t good for the family to talk about these things, Gu Mengyao really didn’t expect her name to be on the land deed.
Because this meant… after the house was built, the ownership would belong entirely to Gu Mengyao.
If Gu Yu angered Gu Mengyao in the future, he could even be kicked out with nothing… Although Gu Mengyao wouldn’t do that.
But this also surprised her greatly!
Gu Yu, having been prepared, chuckled when both the brother and sister showed shocked expressions.
Clearly, this move of his was very unconventional in the male-dominated ancient times.
However, with the space, Gu Yu’s earning speed was very fast, so he didn’t care much about the land deed for these two mu of wasteland. Moreover, he was now a son-in-law who lived with the wife in the Gu family, so it wasn’t appropriate to have his name on it.
This could be seen from the fact that the Village Chief did not object when Gu Yu said he wanted to write Gu Mengyao’s name.
Furthermore, in Yang Family Village, there were the bloodsuckers of the Old Yang family. Gu Yu didn’t want the things he earned to be taken advantage of by them.
With these considerations, Gu Mengyao’s name was written on the land deed.
However, Gu Qingheng, this little brat, could actually read???
According to the information Gu Yu knew… When Gu Yu’s eldest brother died, because he was a skilled hunter and could earn money, the family did not lack money. When Gu Qingheng was five years old, he was sent to a school in town for enlightenment.
It was a pity that half a year later, Gu Yu’s eldest brother died on the mountain.
This means Gu Qingheng started school at the age of five and only attended for half a year. Three years have passed, and he can still read?
Although he knew Gu Qingheng was smart and clever, this little devil couldn’t have an amazing memory, could he?
