Gu Yanliu returned in the late afternoon.

After the two sisters-in-law finished their meal, they sat in the courtyard to cool off.

Gu Yanliu asked, "Will my brother come back tonight?"

Su Nianxue shook her head. "I don't know, she probably won't come back."

Speaking of Gu Yanbai, whom they were talking about, he was currently playing chess with someone!

"Brother, aren't you going home today?"

"I'm not going back. It's too dark and the roads are difficult to travel. I'll stay at your place tonight."

"Where is it dark? The moon is so bright tonight, it's very clear on the road," Zhou Mingjie said, glancing at the bright moonlight in the courtyard.

Gu Yanbai raised an eyebrow and slammed the chess piece down heavily. "What, not welcome?"

"No way!"

Haven't you been living at my house all these years?

What did I say?

Are you going home so late last night?

"I was just trying to be helpful by reminding you," Zhou Mingjie muttered under his breath.

Speaking of this, Gu Yanbai felt a pang of heartache.

He bet that heartless woman is having a great time right now, not thinking about him at all!

They wouldn't care whether he'd eaten or whether he'd go home that night.

They might even be hoping he doesn't go back!

In a little while, they'll lock the front door of the house tightly.

If he goes back now, he'll definitely have to climb the wall again.

He felt incredibly frustrated just thinking about it; that was his home, and now it had become hers.

Just thinking about how he was up there late at night, panting and scrambling up the wall while she slept soundly inside, made him want to strangle her.

He was supposed to be getting married, but he ended up feeling like he was a live-in son-in-law, all wronged and aggrieved.

"I'm not playing anymore, it's boring!" The more Gu Yanbai thought about it, the angrier he became. He smashed the chess pieces on the table and sat down angrily.

"Brother, it's still early. How about we go to Shunzi's house to play cards?"

Zhou Mingjie was eager to try again; he had lost quite a bit last time and was hoping to win it back.

"What are you fighting for?"

sleep!

Wouldn't it be better to save that money and get a good wife?

You're not getting any younger, stop spending all your time fooling around with other people.

The women outside are all after the money in your pocket.

"When you're broke one day, see if they'll still care about you."

"Come on! Why bother getting a wife? I think I'm doing just fine with my life right now." He said, glancing at Gu Yanbai as he spoke.

He did marry a beautiful wife, but so what?

She's still the same as before, staying at his house every day.

Moreover, her temper seems to be more irritable than before.

Therefore, it can be concluded that getting married is not as good as imagined.

"What kind of look is that?"

I'm living the best life ever now; my sister-in-law is taking such good care of me.

At home, I'm waited on hand and foot, and even that's not enough for my sister-in-law.

When they have free time, they'll massage my shoulders and back, bring me tea and water, and they're always around me.

I already told her that if she continues to serve me this well, I'll teach her a lesson.

"This excessive hospitality is getting tiresome, so I came to your place for some fresh air." Having known each other for years, how could he not understand the meaning behind Zhou Mingjie's words?

He might seem fine on the surface, but who knows what he's really thinking inside?

He wouldn't let him make a fool of himself.

Zhou Mingjie's family lived in the town. The two had fought before, but unfortunately, he lost to Gu Yanbo.

He was somewhat unconvinced, and later found an opportunity to fight again, but unfortunately, he still lost.

As the old saying goes, things shouldn't happen more than three times, and from then on, he wholeheartedly followed Gu Yanbai.

"Why are you in such a hurry? I haven't said anything yet."

Zhou Mingjie pursed his lips, his attempt to cover up the obvious was as if no one could see through it.

It's really not fair of me to advise someone to jump into a fire pit when I'm already living a miserable life myself.

However, he dared not say such a thing; this man was the kind of person who was so concerned with saving face that he would suffer for it.

If he dares to say that, he'll definitely fight him.

"By the way, Yanbai, didn't you say the other day that you were planning to open another restaurant in the county?"

Is it still open?

"Go ahead, why aren't you going?"

Isn't it because I've been busy with wedding preparations these days and haven't had a chance to do anything else?

"Go to the county and visit some people to see if there are any suitable positions." When he got down to business, his expression became more serious.

"Alright, I'll go to the county tomorrow to look for it."

The moon was already high in the sky, and Su Nianxue yawned.

"Yanliu, go to sleep. It's getting late. I want to go check on the fields tomorrow!"

Let's go together tomorrow.

Gu Yanbai was rarely home, and Grandpa Gu was busy with things on the mountain, so she did most of the work in the fields.

Now that she has someone to help her, she is naturally very happy.

"Is my brother coming back?" She remembered that her brother had come back last night, glanced at the door, and wondered if it was still locked.

"It's so late, they probably won't be back, right? Time to sleep."

Su Nianxue said nonchalantly, and went to bolt the door and then used a stick to hold it in place.

The two went back to their respective rooms.

It's true, you sleep better when you're alone!

You won't feel suffocated by someone holding you up, nor will you feel like you're sitting next to a giant stove.

Nothing happened that night, and she got up very early, which was unusual for her.

I stretched, washed up, and went to the kitchen to make breakfast.

When Gu Yanliu opened the door, she could already smell the aroma of breakfast.

"Sister-in-law, why are you up so early? I was just saying I was getting up to cook."

"Didn't I just get up after waking up?" When she was at the Su family's house, they provided her with all three meals a day.
