Chapter 70 The Incident

Gu Yanxiao smiled and said, "It's okay. I have a lot of people in my family, and my wife said that if there's not enough time to eat, we'll just make it into cured meat and store it."

"I see!" Tong Deliang nodded. In those days, everyone was short of meat. The Gu family had money and no shortage of food, so making it into cured meat was indeed the best way.

Gu Yanxiao and his son carried the meat away, and the villagers could only watch with envy.

Then, thinking that he would finally be able to eat some meat tonight, he was filled with joy.

Xu Yirou lowered her eyes, preventing herself from looking at Gu Yanxiao again.

There was never any possibility between her and him, neither in their past lives nor in this one.

In that case, maintaining a proper distance is the best option.

She, blessed by heaven with a second chance at life, should cherish this opportunity and live this life even better.

Once Gu Yanxiao entered the courtyard, he and his father began dividing the meat.

Cut the meat into strips, rub it with salt and spices, then put it into a large vat and seal it.

After doing all this, Tong Aiguo rode his bicycle into the courtyard.

"Brother Gu, I've brought the car to you."

After witnessing firsthand how Gu Yanxiao killed a wild boar with a single shot, Tong Aiguo admired Gu Yanxiao even more.

The fervor in his eyes was obvious to anyone.

"I'll just go get it myself, you don't need to be so polite." Gu Yanxiao had originally planned to ride it himself, but he didn't expect Tong Aiguo to bring it to him personally.

"Anyway, I have nothing better to do." Tong Aiguo scratched his head, looking a little embarrassed.

Gu Yanxiao glanced at the bicycle, went back to her room to get an old coat, tied it to a wooden board, and then secured it to the bicycle.

The road to town is full of potholes; he can't let his wife get jostled around like that.

Tong Aiguo was amazed by his series of actions.

The villagers always say that his father was good to his mother.

But what he called "good" was that he never hit or scolded his mother.

He's willing to discuss anything with his mother.

But after seeing Gu Yanxiao, Tong Aiguo's understanding was completely refreshed.

What does it mean to truly love and cherish one's wife? Brother Gu is the epitome of that!

Just then, Su Xiangwan finished tidying up and came out of the room.

"Sister-in-law," Tong Aiguo immediately greeted her politely.

Su Xiangwan also saw the bicycle next to her, nodded and smiled at him, "Aiguo, thank you for your trouble."

"Sister-in-law, you're too kind. Brother Gu is my savior, and he's the one who helped the whole village hunt wild boars. My dad keeps telling me to learn from Brother Gu!"

Tong Aiguo said somewhat embarrassedly.

And he was telling the truth. Tong Liqun always said that Gu Yanxiao's family was not an ordinary family, and that he should get closer to them.

That's why, when Gu Yanxiao wanted to use a bicycle, Tong Liqun had him deliver it to her without hesitation.

You should know that Tong Liqun treasures this bicycle at home very much.

He wouldn't have been willing to lend it to anyone else.

"We're ready, let's go!"

After Gu Yanxiao secured the seat cushion, he gestured for Su Xiangwan to get into the car, then turned to Tong Aiguo and said, "I'll drive the car directly to your house later."

"Okay, bro, I'll head back now."

Tong Aiguo readily agreed and ran off.

Thanks to Gu Yanxiao, his father took pity on him and didn't have to go to work today. He could go home and read books; he hadn't finished reading the comic books he secretly bought from the junkyard last time!

After arriving in town, Su Xiangwan and Gu Yanxiao did not go directly to the post office, but instead went to the supply and marketing cooperative first.

"Is there anything you want to buy?" Gu Yanxiao asked.

"Let's buy some clothes and shoes for Mom, Dad, and Yan Fei first!"

Su Xiangwan said that the Gu family actually had no shortage of clothes, but what they lacked were clothes that were convenient for working.

But Su Xiangwan didn't want them to wear anything too dark, so she picked out some fabrics that were comfortable to the touch but not too dull.

I picked out a few more pairs of shoes for them.

I also bought some condiments and other daily necessities.

"Is there anything else you want to buy? Don't you want anything?" Gu Yanxiao raised an eyebrow. Why did she only buy things for her parents and Yan Fei, but not for herself?

"Everything I wanted to buy has been sent over." Su Xiangwan shook her head.

Even if some things weren't in those packages, she had everything she needed in her personal space. There really wasn't much to buy at the supply and marketing cooperative in this small town.

Gu Yanxiao nodded, and after she took out her cloth coupons and money and made the purchase, he led her to the post office.

Sure enough, the things they sent from the capital had arrived.

There were three large bags.

Gu Yanxiao had already prepared for this, and had tied the two large packages to the back seat of the car.

The remaining one was stacked on the back seat.

Even so, the back seat looks like a small mountain.

Fortunately, it's not very heavy, and the bicycle doesn't affect riding.

The two of them didn't actually spend much time in town.

However, when they returned to town, they found that people were looking at them in a strange way.

Many people even pointed at them and said something.

Most of them were directed at Su Xiangwan.

Seeing this, Gu Yanxiao and Su Xiangwan's hearts sank, and they both thought of a possibility.

However, the two remained silent until they returned to the Gu family courtyard.

We could already see Tong Aiguo waiting at the door.

"Brother Gu, sister-in-law, something terrible has happened!"

"Then Xie Manman brought a group of people from the Tail-Cutting Society, saying..."

At this point, Tong Aiguo glanced at Xie Manman subconsciously, lowered his voice, and continued, "They're saying my sister-in-law is a capitalist and they want to investigate her!"

It was called an investigation, but who didn't know that once the Gu family's status as capitalists was confirmed, they would be in big trouble?

Su Xiangwan's heart skipped a beat. Sure enough, given Xie Manman's personality, if she was in a bad situation, no one else would be able to have a good one either.

Exposing her identity as a capitalist's daughter is the best and simplest way for Xie Manman to get revenge on herself.

Just as she was thinking to herself, her waist was gently embraced.

She looked up and met Gu Yanxiao's gentle and calm eyes: "Don't think too much, it's okay."

At this moment, Gu's parents and Gu Yanfei also came over.

"Sister-in-law, don't worry, no matter what, we're here for you!" Gu Yanfei waved her fist: "If anyone dares to bully you, I'll beat them up."

Gu's mother stepped forward and handed her a cup of hot water, saying, "Daughter, come, have some water first, then go and get a good night's sleep and rest. Don't think about anything."

"No matter what happens, Yan Xiao and I will take care of it!" Father Gu didn't say much, but he gave people a great sense of security.

Just then, several people wearing red armbands walked in through the courtyard gate.

"Is this the Gu family's residence? Which one is Su Xiangwan?"
