"I'm sorry, I wasn't paying attention to where I was going!"

Gu Xiliang looked around and realized that the town was not far ahead.

He patted Jiang Jinhua on the shoulder: "Hua-zai, it's not far from town. We can go to town and ask someone for help. At worst, we can just spend some money to hire someone. It's not a big deal!"

Jiang Jinhua perked up immediately: "Good brother!"

Zhao Guoan walked over at this moment: "What, is he your brother and I'm not?"

As he spoke, he pulled out a wad of ten-yuan notes from his pocket and shook it.

The implication was clear: he also had the money to hire people.

Upon seeing this, Xiao Liu felt a headache coming on!

What kind of time is this to be showing off like this!

"What happened?"

A sudden sound rang out.

Jiang Jinhua immediately turned around and looked over: "Brother-in-law, it's you. Hurry up and help us lift the car up. We originally wanted to go to town to pick you up, but we didn't notice that the wheel got stuck here."

Gu Xichen looked at the group with some suspicion.

Why does he feel that this statement is somewhat exaggerated?

However, now was not the time to dwell on that. He looked around the car and found that there wasn't much of a problem.

He simply called on a few of them to help lift the car. With his help, the car was quickly lifted up and back on track.

After the car was lifted, Zhao Guoan was still a little incredulous. The car that the four of them couldn't lift just now was lifted so easily with the addition of one more person.

Moreover, he felt he hadn't used his full strength yet.

Seeing that Zhao Guoan was still standing there in a daze, Jiang Jinhua quickly called out, "Crazy An, what are you doing? Hurry up and get in the car."

After saying that, he quickly opened the driver's seat door and got in.

Then he urged the others to get on the bus as well.

Gu Xichen stared at him coldly but did not get into the car.

"Were you driving just now?"

"Yes, yes, brother-in-law, I'm really good at it! Hurry up and come on over, my sister is waiting for you at home!"

"Is the technique for opening trenches good?" Gu Xichen looked him up and down.

"That was an accident, that was an accident!"

"Yes, Third Brother, Ahua just had a little accident..."

Gu Xichen glanced at him coldly, and Gu Xiliang immediately shut his mouth.

His third brother is terrifying!

Zhao Guoan didn't speak at this moment, but looked at the man in front of him with admiration.

Those muscles, that physique, so strong and powerful.

Today, when they caught the robber, and just now when they lifted the car, he felt that this man was very capable.

When will he be able to be as good as him?

Could it be that Hua Zi's sudden transformation into such a powerful individual was also due to this man's instruction?

He stared intently at Gu Xichen, but Gu Xichen merely glanced at him indifferently before looking back at Jiang Jinhua in the driver's seat.

"Get down!" he said coldly to Jiang Jinhua.

His words carried an undeniable chill.

Jiang Jinhua felt a chill run down her spine under his gaze, but in the end, she obediently sat down in the back.

Gu Xichen got into the driver's seat, and Xiao Liu, seeing this, said with some concern, "Comrade, can you drive this car? How about I drive?"

Gu Xichen: "I drove it in the military!"

Hearing him say that, Xiao Liu was completely relieved.

As it turns out, Gu Xichen was indeed a very steady driver.

Unlike the bumpy, fast ride Jiang Jinhua was driving earlier.

Even now, recalling how Jiang Jinhua drove, he still feels a lingering fear.

He secretly vowed to himself that he would never let them touch his car again.

That was terrifying.

Zhao Guoan sat in the back seat, staring intently at the man driving in front. For some reason, he really wanted to know who was more capable, his older brother or the man.

There was no way around it; at home, he was abused too much by his older brother.

Suddenly I feel like I want to see my older brother get abused. Why is that?

He nudged Jiang Jinhua beside him and said, "Hua Zi, isn't your brother-in-law amazing?"

Jiang Jinhua, who had been somewhat listless, perked up again after hearing Zhao Guoan's question.

"Of course, my brother-in-law is the most eloquent person I've ever met." After saying that, he whispered in Zhao Guoan's ear, "I suspect my brother-in-law is even more eloquent than your brother. Do you believe me?"

"Really? They didn't even compete. But I'd like to know if he taught you your skills?"

"Yeah, but he's really fierce, even fiercer than the military drill instructors..."

The two whispered to each other behind him, but Gu Xiliang remained silent and obedient.

Because he knew that no matter how quietly they spoke from behind, his third brother would definitely hear everything clearly from the front.

He dared not speak ill of his third brother to his face; he had a premonition.

Hua Zi is going to get a lot of exercise tomorrow morning, and he's going to be exhausted again.

Meanwhile, Gu Xichen, who was being watched by the three men, was focused on driving and heard everything his brother-in-law and his companions said in the back.

However, he didn't say anything, but his eyes darkened, and it was unclear what he was thinking.

Upon returning to the Gu family home, Gu Xichen immediately went to find Jiang Jinxiu.

He thought she would be resting in her room, but instead he saw a little tabby cat with its head down, diligently munching on a sweet potato.

He carried nothing in his hand except a box of preserved plums, and walked straight toward Jiang Jinxiu.

When Jiang Jinxiu heard the noise and saw that it was Gu Xichen returning, she smiled from the bottom of her heart.

That smile was so bright, like the warm winter sun, it warmed Gu Xichen's heart.

"Xichen, you're back?"

Gu Xichen smiled and nodded. After greeting Grandma Luo and Zhou Ying, he took out a handkerchief from his pocket and helped Jiang Jinxiu wipe the soot off her face.
