They have many tricks up their sleeves, and have deceived the hearts of countless naive young girls.

Thankfully, she wasn't.

Putting away the abacus, Gu An'an continued working on the accounts.

Seeing that she didn't want to talk to anyone, Jiang Yong'an didn't know how to say a thousand words.

Finally, I went to the backyard to get busy.

It was Liu Jiuniang who spoke up, asking, "Didn't you go hunting in the mountains? Didn't you catch anything?"

"No." This was slightly ambiguous, so Jiang Yong'an explained, "I hunted some and brought them home."

Upon hearing this, Liu Jiuniang sighed, "You really are capable. The men in the village, young and old, often go up the mountain, but they're lucky if they catch even a pheasant. They can't compare to your skill."

She hadn't seen Jiang Yong'an much after marrying into the family, but she hadn't expected him to be so capable.

Compared to his own consumptive husband, his skills are truly insignificant.

As Liu Jiuniang was reminiscing, an uninvited guest suddenly arrived at her door.

It turned out to be Aunt Li.

Aunt Li entered the city in an oxcart, and she must have run all the way, because she was panting and could barely speak.

Gu An'an brought over a glass of water. "Aunt Li, what brings you here?"

The old man drank a few sips of water to calm himself down before speaking, "Xiao Gu, your sister-in-law is back."

Gu An'an reacted for a moment after hearing this, "Qiaoqiao and her mother?"

"Yes, they came back with a lot of people, saying they want a divorce from your brother-in-law!"

This was something Gu An'an hadn't expected. "You came all this way just to talk to me about this?"

Aunt Li quickly shook her head, "I heard Qiaoqiao telling that man that she was coming to settle accounts with you, so I rushed over to tell you. Those men who came back with her and her daughter are really fierce; they beat your brother-in-law into a pulp."

Just thinking about that scene made Aunt Li's palms sweat. "Your Uncle Li said that those people might have killed someone!"
