Chapter 110: Haven’t you faced reality yet!
When Gu Yu and Gu Mengyao returned to Lian Town, they first explained the situation to Magistrate Bai. Then, amidst his incessant thanks, they tactfully declined his warm invitation to stay for a meal and went to inform Fu Lai.
After hearing what Gu Mengyao had to say, Fu Lai was not particularly shocked. Seeing the expression on his face, which clearly showed “as expected,” it was evident that he had long guessed that Lu Yasan’s identity was unusual.
However, when he heard Lu Yasan say that she would return, Fu Lai’s expression froze. He had not expected Lu Yasan to make such a decision.
After all, Lu Yasan was a lady from a prominent family, and he was merely a small bookseller.
Even though they were already married, Fu Lai had not touched Lu Yasan…
Alas, what was the point of this!
While Fu Lai was experiencing some trouble, Gu Yu had already pulled his little wife back to Yang Family Village and no longer concerned himself with these matters.
This trip to the Prefecture was enough face for several people. If they were to bother them again for trivial matters, Gu Yu felt that he would get angry…
Once he got angry, he would definitely cause trouble for others.
Therefore, for everyone’s sake, no one else should come to the Gu family!
This way, everyone would be at ease.
Upon returning to the Gu family, life went on as usual, but the craftsmen had already built everything they were supposed to and happily went home with the silver given by Gu Yu.
With this silver, they could have a good New Year!
After the onlookers dispersed, Gu Yu finally released the spirits and Zitan from his space. With Zitan’s inexplicable fascination with the spirits, Gu Yu did not worry that she would be afraid of anything.
Moreover, every time he saw Zitan staring at the spirits, her eyes would show a fanatical look, making people feel goosebumps.
It was a bit creepy.
However, Gu Yu did not pay too much attention to them. After giving a few instructions, he went back to the Gu family courtyard to continue basking lazily in the sun, living a leisurely life, which was extremely comfortable.
It’s just that Gu Qingheng, the younger brother-in-law, always came to complain to him because he was forced to practice martial arts.
He came every day, complaining every day.
It made Gu Yu feel like he was clocking in for work…
“Brother-in-law, brother-in-law, I’m so tired, quickly give me a vitality potion to get rid of my fatigue!”
Here he comes again!
Listening to Gu Qingheng using the game terms he had mentioned before, Gu Yu, feeling a bit depressed, took out an energy cookie from his space and threw it towards Gu Qingheng.
Although he had thought about giving him more energy cookies to save Gu Qingheng from coming over so often… Gu Yu thought of his brother-in-law’s personality, which was clearly a bottomless pit and would never be satisfied!
So, one energy cookie a day would suffice!
Anyway, with Gu Qingheng’s current training intensity, even if he ate too many, it would have no effect and would be a waste.
After Gu Qingheng nimbly jumped and caught it, he immediately stuffed the cookie into his mouth, chewed it a few times, and swallowed it.
Then, as if not satisfied, he raised his hand and wiped his mouth, but he also knew that his brother-in-law would not give him any more, so he immediately decided to come again tomorrow.
His brother-in-law was too stingy! Ahhhhhh!
“Brother-in-law, aren’t you tired of staying at home every day? How about this, today you take me to the town to have a look, and also to breathe in the fresh air of the town!”
“You don’t have to practice martial arts today?”
“Isn’t my brother-in-law here? As long as I say a word to my sister, I definitely won’t have to practice anymore! Because my sister listens to you!”
“You should still practice martial arts diligently! If your sister investigates, even I will be chased and beaten.”
Listening to Gu Qingheng’s words, Gu Yu felt extremely comfortable… However, he still calmly refused his brother-in-law’s plea.
If he took Gu Qingheng to town, when Gu Mengyao got angry, this guy Gu Qingheng would definitely betray him!
So, it was better to stay here and practice martial arts diligently, and become a muscle man as soon as possible.
“Brother-in-law, you are too lazy! Ahhhhhh!”
“It’s not just a day or two. Haven’t you faced reality yet? By the way, I’m very curious, after practicing martial arts for such a long time, why haven’t you grown any muscles?”
“Why wouldn’t I? Brother-in-law, look at the muscles on my arm, there are so many!”
When Gu Yu asked, Gu Qingheng immediately showed a distressed expression, then rolled up his sleeves. After exerting force on his arm, very obvious muscle masses appeared.
When Gu Yu saw them, he was surprised that Gu Qingheng had hidden them so deeply. He had never noticed them before!
“In order not to become a stiff man like Xi Yang, I take a bath every night before going to sleep and keep massaging my hands and feet to ensure that the shape of my muscles does not enlarge. It’s exhausting!”
Speaking of the hardships during this time, it would take three days and three nights to finish.
In Gu Qingheng’s heart, men did not need to have too many muscles, but they should be as tall and straight as pine and cypress, and as graceful as the gentle breeze. This was the model of a scholar and a talented man.
However, if his muscles were bulging, others would think he was a warrior!!!
These were still minor issues. Gu Qingheng was worried… When Lian’er sister came, if she saw that he had changed and couldn’t recognize him, it would be too heartbreaking.
Thinking about it, he wanted to cry!
“Alright, alright, men should have more muscles. You were too thin before! Now you look a bit more sturdy, which is quite good.”
“Then you should practice martial arts with me!”
“Me? I’m not going to practice. What if I become stiff and your sister dislikes me!”
“…”
After Gu Yu sent away the speechless younger brother-in-law, he continued to lie quietly on the lounge chair to rest. However, it did not bring him peace, as the Gu family’s main door was knocked on again.
This made Gu Yu’s expression immediately sink. Then he got up from the lounge chair and quickly walked to the courtyard gate, wanting to see who had arrived!
He had only been quiet for a few days, why did someone come again so soon!
It was truly impossible to rest!
“Doctor Gu, I just returned from the Prefecture yesterday and heard about what you did to the Lu Mansion. I am extremely grateful!”
“Not at all, it was just a casual act!”
After Gu Yu opened the door, he saw Fu Lai smiling outside, speaking while handing over the gifts he was carrying.
As the saying goes, you can’t hit a smiling person.
Gu Yu looked at the gifts Fu Lai handed over, and his original anger subsided somewhat, but he was still wondering why Fu Lai had come!
If he wanted to thank him, he wouldn’t need to be so formal!
However, just as Gu Yu was thinking this, his arm that was holding the gift suddenly sank, almost causing him to fall to the ground.
This made Gu Yu look at the object in his hand in surprise, wondering why it was so heavy when it wasn’t a thousand-gold pendant!
