Chapter 95 Siblings are alike!
“Oh, you young couple are so affectionate! We haven’t seen each other for a while, and Gou Dan has come looking for you directly. Mengyao Gu, you are blessed!”
“Auntie, you joke. Yu is just worried about my injuries and doesn’t want me to run around.”
Just as Gu Yu helped Mengyao Gu steady herself, Auntie Wang Er, whom he had been ignoring, chimed in teasingly, making Mengyao Gu’s cheeks turn red.
Afterward, as Mengyao Gu replied shyly, she secretly glanced at the smiling Gu Yu. The moment their eyes met, her face turned even redder.
Gu Yu, on the other hand, stood there calmly. After hearing Auntie Wang Er’s words, he even nodded, showing no embarrassment from the teasing.
[Mengyao Gu’s Favorability +10, Space upgrading…]
As it turned out, the space upgrading situation was as Gu Yu had previously imagined.
This time, after Mengyao Gu’s favorability increased, Gu Yu did not, as usual, close his eyes and faint.
The space no longer requiring fainting to upgrade immediately made Gu Yu happy. He thought he had finally broken away from his image of always fainting, saving the Gu Mengyao siblings from thinking he was still the same sickly person.
“Alas, your family’s situation is much better now. It’s better to go to the mountain less in the future. Look at Yang Cao’s father… he was greedy for the money earned from hunting, but now he has lost his life. How will Yang Cao and her mother live from now on!”
However, Gu Yu’s brow furrowed slightly after hearing Auntie Wang Er mention Yang Cao’s father.
He had just learned about this matter from Gu Qingheng. Gu Yu, worried that Yang Cao might come to Mengyao Gu for trouble, had rushed to the village to find his little wife and ensure her safety.
Even if Mengyao Gu was very capable, when facing some people with ulterior motives, she was as fragile as a newly hatched chick.
When Gu Yu saw that Mengyao Gu was just checking on the chicks hatching and that nothing bad had happened, he felt relieved. But now, hearing Auntie Wang Er mention this matter again naturally made Gu Yu quite frustrated.
Since transmigrating, he hadn’t had a smooth day.
Various troubles kept coming, even making Gu Yu feel that… his life before transmigration was too peaceful, so this life had become disaster-prone.
Fortunately, it wasn’t to the point where he couldn’t live. He even got a wife and a brother-in-law, which offset the depression caused by these troubles.
“Auntie Wang Er, I’ve already told Mengyao not to go to the mountain anymore, so she won’t get injured again. Please rest assured, I love my own wife myself, how could I bear to let her go to dangerous places again!”
Before Mengyao Gu could speak, Gu Yu immediately replied, without mentioning the troublesome matter of Yang Cao’s father, merely stating that he would not let Mengyao Gu go up the mountain anymore.
Auntie Wang Er was not stupid. Hearing that Gu Yu was not following her lead, she knew Gu Yu didn’t want to talk about other things.
Coupled with the fact that she had heard about Yang Cao seeking help from the Gu family earlier, Auntie Wang Er immediately guessed the cause and effect.
Gu Yu clearly didn’t want to get too involved, to avoid getting himself into trouble.
Looking at Mengyao Gu’s shy little wife appearance, it was obvious that Gu Yu had her completely under his thumb, without any of the assertiveness and dominance of those who married into the family.
However, as long as they were considerate of each other, they could live a happy life!
Like her own husband’s temper, it was truly…
Thinking of her own troubles, Auntie Wang Er stopped meddling in Yang Cao’s father’s affairs. Instead, she went on to talk about the precautions for raising chickens, causing Mengyao Gu to change from shy to listening attentively.
Mengyao Gu’s parents had passed away early, and since she had been hunting in the mountains, she didn’t have much experience in daily life. Being able to cook rice properly now was already quite good.
Originally, Mengyao Gu should have returned a long time ago since she had been at Auntie Wang Er’s house for so long.
But after coming here, Mengyao Gu actually had the idea of asking for cooking advice, after all, she wanted to make more delicious food for Gu Yu in the future, but her cooking skills were only passable, and not exactly delicious.
Although Auntie Wang Er was too nosy, she was the best cook in the village. During weddings and funerals in the village, people always invited Auntie Wang Er to be the chef, making a banquet that everyone liked.
It was practical and economical, and she would be praised for preparing a good banquet, which was very prestigious.
It was only after Mengyao Gu humbly asked for cooking advice that time was delayed, so when Gu Yu came to the village, the topic between Mengyao Gu and Auntie Wang Er had shifted from cooking to raising chickens.
When Mengyao Gu heard Auntie Wang Er mention Yang Cao, she was stunned, and then quickly recovered and put the matter out of her mind.
It wasn’t that Mengyao Gu was cold-blooded, but even if she went up the mountain, she couldn’t save people from the mouths of wild beasts.
Even with innate divine strength, fierce beasts had sharp claws and teeth, and one wrong move could cost one’s life.
If she had really gone up the mountain, who knew what her fate would have been!
Mengyao Gu still had relatives at home, and she was quite satisfied with her current life. It would be too regrettable if she really died.
The thought of death made Mengyao Gu feel a little scared, but she thought that she was young and strong now and wouldn’t be so unlucky as to die young.
Even for the sake of her husband and younger brother, she would not allow herself to leave this world prematurely.
Therefore, in the future, when encountering problems, she must think more about the consequences.
She couldn’t cause big trouble due to impulse and even lose her life because of it.
“Auntie Wang, I’ve remembered everything you said! I’ll come to get the hatched chicks after some time.”
“It’s okay, no rush! The chicks will hatch before your new house is built. You don’t have space at home now, so I can help you raise them for a few more days.”
“Thank you so much, Auntie. If I catch any prey later, I’ll bring some wild game for you to try.”
“Oh, that would be great! I will definitely help you raise the chicks fat, and the eggs they lay will be big too. But you must not go into the mountains, just set traps at the foot of the mountain. There are plenty of wild animals now anyway.”
Auntie Wang Er nodded happily upon hearing Mengyao Gu’s words, saying she would take good care of the chicks.
Although Auntie Wang Er’s family raised many chickens, these chickens were treasures that laid eggs for money, and they were reluctant to eat even one. If Mengyao Gu brought a wild chicken or rabbit, it would be meat they could eat!
How many times could villagers eat meat in a few days? Therefore, even for the wild game Mengyao Gu mentioned, Auntie Wang Er decided to help Mengyao Gu raise the chicks well, lest the chicks have any problems and die prematurely.
Auntie Wang Er was not afraid that Mengyao Gu would go back on her word, as the Gu family members were all quite good-natured, clearly a world apart from those in the Yang family.
Gu Yu had been listening and was already annoyed. Seeing that the two women had finally finished their conversation, he quickly got up and walked towards the door, muttering a few pleasantries, but his steps were not slow at all.
“Mengyao, when I was with Qingheng just now, I told him that after the new house is built, I would send him to school. You don’t disagree, do you?”
“How could I! I’m very happy that you can think of Qingheng like this. But, it won’t be just Qingheng, you’ll have to go to school too, Yu.”
“I’ll go too?”
“Yes, our family doesn’t lack money now, nor do we have land to farm, so you don’t need to worry about anything, just study hard.”
After leaving Auntie Wang Er’s house, on the way, Gu Yu mentioned to Mengyao Gu that he wanted to send his brother-in-law to school after the house was built.
Mengyao Gu did not object to this, but what she said next made Gu Yu’s head hurt.
How could these siblings be so alike!
They were saying the same thing.
Not only Qingheng had to go to school, but he had to go too!
Gu Yu really didn’t want to study anymore. Thinking of everyone reciting books with their heads wagging when they went to school, Gu Yu felt uncomfortable all over.
However, seeing the determined look on Mengyao Gu’s face, Gu Yu felt that it was unlikely he could persuade Mengyao Gu to change her mind.
Although Mengyao Gu could be reasoned with at times, she was very persistent in certain aspects and would never back down no matter what.
At this time, he had to find another way.
“Mengyao, I don’t think it’s necessary for me to go. If you want to study, you should go to town. That way, we won’t be able to see each other all day, and I’ll have to study when I get back at night, so I won’t have much time to spend with you.”
“But…”
“Wait, I haven’t finished. Although I won’t go to school, I can ask Qingheng what he learned in school when he comes home at night. This way, not only can I learn, but Qingheng’s homework can also be reviewed, and it saves me from paying tuition, which is a waste of money.”
Afterward, when Gu Yu promptly proposed a win-win solution, Mengyao Gu thought of her younger brother’s amazing memory. She thought to herself that there was indeed no need to waste money and force Gu Yu to go to school with him.
However, the real reason that made Mengyao Gu waver was that she couldn’t see Gu Yu often…
“This is also acceptable, but if you want to go to school, Yu, no matter what, I will let you go!”
“Don’t worry, I know what I want. But if I rely on you for everything, wouldn’t I become a pretty boy who lives off his wife…”
“A pretty boy who lives off his wife?”
“Someone who does nothing, stays at home eating free meals, relies on his wife to earn money outside to support him for life.”
Gu Yu explained the meaning of living off one’s wife, and then saw Mengyao Gu cover her mouth and chuckle, obviously having pictured the scene Gu Yu described and finding it very amusing.
This made Gu Yu shake his head helplessly, and he reached out to pinch Mengyao Gu’s cheeks.
The skin was smooth and felt quite comfortable to the touch.
Gu Yu was not the type to stay at home and live off his wife contentedly. Although his little wife was very capable and could hunt to earn money to support the family, he was not bad either!
Once he figured out how to make white sugar, their family wouldn’t have to worry about money anymore.
However, no one ever had too much money, so he would earn as much as he could.
“Gu girl, hurry up and leave! Wang Er Tou went to town to find people and prepared to take revenge on you. He should be here soon.”
Just as Gu Yu was touching his little wife’s face, and Mengyao Gu was feeling shy again, they had also reached their doorstep.
But at this moment, a familiar voice suddenly sounded, causing Gu Yu and Mengyao Gu to turn their heads and see that it was Min Yan, whom they had met before.
