LGHTNOVELBOOK 6: First Meeting
To Gu Yu’s surprise, in addition to the crisis he already understood, his body’s previous owner had actively been giving handouts to others.
Just hearing about it, Gu Yu felt it was absolutely despicable.
If the things he gave away were things he had obtained himself, there would be nothing wrong with finding various ways to fulfill his filial duties.
But those things all belonged to Gu Mengyao.
Gu Yu couldn’t imagine how thick-skinned his body’s previous owner must have been to so righteously take things and give handouts to those people at the old Yang household.
“Qingheng, your brother-in-law doesn’t mean to… he’s also having a hard time, after all, his father…”
“Sister, stop making excuses for him. This marriage wasn’t forced on you—you should be more assertive! If I weren’t so young, I would never have let those bastards take away our things.”
“All right, I’ll work harder at hunting in the future, so don’t worry.”
Unexpectedly, this young wife was quite understanding.
Although Gu Yu had already accepted the condition to take care of his wife due to the space’s requirement, hearing his wife stand up for him like this made him feel quite comfortable.
After all, if faced with a sharp-tongued, lazy wife, Gu Yu would worry about falling into a lifelong tragedy.
Now seeing how considerate his wife was, even if she were ugly, Gu Yu could tolerate it.
With this in mind, Gu Yu stopped hiding and walked directly toward the siblings, showing no intention of concealment.
After all, he wasn’t the original Gu Yu, and giving handouts to the old Yang household wasn’t his doing… As long as he was around, no one would take even a chopstick from here.
Upon seeing Gu Yu, Gu Qingheng immediately hid the wild pheasant he was holding behind his back. His large eyes fixed on Gu Yu, afraid he might snatch it away.
Although Gu Yu’s frail body couldn’t overpower him, Gu Qingheng’s palms still sweated with nervousness.
Gu Yu himself wasn’t threatening, but the key was that his own sister favored him!
They say a married daughter is like spilled water—the ancients didn’t lie… Gu Yu was like a male fox spirit who had completely bewitched his sister!
However, Gu Qingheng had already made up his mind not to let Gu Yu continue giving handouts to the old Yang family, otherwise they wouldn’t survive this winter.
Even if his sister beat him later, he would never compromise!
“Brother-in-law, are you going to the old Yang house again?”
“Not anymore. I have no relationship with them now.”
“Even if you want to go, I won’t… Huh? Brother-in-law, what did you say?”
Faced with Gu Qingheng’s combative stance, Gu Yu paid little attention. When he approached the siblings, his gaze had already fallen on his wife, wanting to see what kind of person Gu Mengyao really was.
At first glance, not bad—a little beauty.
Both siblings had big eyes and fair skin. Although they were somewhat malnourished, causing them to be thin, he could still see that she had the appearance of a cute little loli.
This was completely different from the worst-case scenario Gu Yu had imagined.
Seeing Gu Mengyao’s cute appearance, Gu Yu breathed a sigh of relief. Although he had mentally prepared himself before, having to live with an ugly woman would truly have depressed him.
After all, transmigrating to find himself with an extra wife was one thing, but if she were ugly, that would be too much.
“Ah Yu, don’t mind Qingheng, he’s always like this! I went hunting in the mountains this time and caught two pheasants and one rabbit. You can take them!”
As she spoke, Gu Mengyao’s face showed uneasiness. After glancing at Gu Yu, she quickly shifted her gaze.
Her panicked appearance, like a startled rabbit, made the corners of Gu Yu’s mouth turn slightly upward.
This wife of his still cared about him quite a bit.
Gu Mengyao was a year older than Gu Yu. Although she appeared malnourished, she was still quite a bit taller than Gu Yu, about 1.6 meters.
Gu Yu was only about 1.5 meters tall, and that was being generous.
As for Gu Qingheng, this eight-year-old child stood at 1.4 meters, which made Gu Yu feel a sense of crisis.
If he were to be surpassed in height by a child under ten, Gu Yu would be extremely embarrassed.
