Now, not only did the two of them look over with curiosity, but everyone else also looked on in surprise, not understanding why the usually stern village chief was suddenly so enthusiastic towards Gu An'an and the other girl.

Were they bribed?

This was their shared idea; after all, these two were incredibly wealthy, so they must have resorted to crooked means.

It's impossible not to be envious; who wouldn't want to be a rich woman, with money paving the way?

"Ahem, it was my sister who told me to do it. If she knew I didn't do it, she'd definitely explode."

Actually, this is only one of the reasons. He has to do the job because of his nephew.

It's all because his nephew always brings him nice gifts when he comes back, something even his son can't match.

"No need, no need, we'll take it ourselves."

How could Gu An'an possibly accept this willingly? But the village chief was faster, grabbing his things and running off.

"this......"

Zhou Yue looked at the village chief, then at Gu An'an, and finally managed to say, "I feel like they really have something to do with it."

Gu An'an agreed with this statement. After all, the village chief had only been relatively nice to them before, but now...

Forget it! There's no point in thinking about it too much. Let's take it one step at a time. I can't really sell myself out.

The two quickened their pace to catch up with the village chief. When they arrived at the educated youth compound, Gu An'an insisted on giving the village chief a few handfuls of candy before letting them leave.

After several unsuccessful attempts to refuse, the village chief had no choice but to take it home from his pocket, though the smile on his face was incredibly bright the whole way.

No wonder he's his nephew; the girl he's chosen is not only beautiful but also kind and knows how to get along with people.

"What are you laughing at? Did you find money?"

The village chief's wife was feeding the chickens when she looked up and saw the village chief humming an off-key tune as he entered the house.

The village chief didn't say anything, but went straight into the house before taking the candy out of his pocket.

"Who gave it to you?"

Don't ask why he didn't buy it himself; the answer is that he didn't have any money in his pocket.

"Given by Gu, a educated youth."

Upon hearing that it was Gu Zhiqing, the village chief's wife smiled broadly, "This child is just too honest. He was given a bag of brown sugar before, and now he's given so many candies. How can he ever repay such a favor?"

As she spoke, she realized something was wrong. "Wait, you never used to take that. Did something happen today?"

It's best not to say that the person who understands you best is always your spouse.

"nothing."

Just kidding, this is nothing, what if he spreads it and ruins things?

"Will you talk or not?" The village chief's wife reached out as if to grab him hard.

"Don't ask if it's okay. You'll find out when the time is right."

The more he said this, the more curious the village chief's wife became, and she resorted to her trump card.

"Are you sure you don't want to tell? Then I'll go tell Mom."

The village chief is very filial. If his mother asks, he definitely won't hide it from her, and the whole family will find out.

The village chief glared at his wife and leaned over to say, "I'm telling you, but don't you dare tell anyone, Ah Heng has a girl he likes."

"real?"

The village chief's wife and Xiao's mother were best friends, and they were extremely close. Now that they heard that Xiao Yuheng had a girl he liked, they were truly happy for Xiao's mother.

"How long have you been dating? Where are you from? When are you going to bring her back to meet Mom? She's been looking forward to this day."

Village chief: "...We haven't talked about it yet."

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw the smile on his wife's face vanish instantly. "No talk? What do you mean? Is Ah Heng still playing the unrequited love card?"

Whose daughter is she that even her outstanding nephew doesn't dare to confess his feelings?

Seeing her thoughts wandering, the village chief quickly stopped her. "No, no, Ah Heng met Gu An'an when he was on a mission. It was too short a time, so he probably didn't have time to get to know her. But he called my little sister and asked me to take good care of her. Do you think he would do that if he wasn't interested?"

The village chief's wife, upon hearing this, exclaimed, "Gu, the educated youth? Those two children are truly blessed. I was just thinking today which rascal could be worthy of such a good boy as Gu. Now that I think about it, they are a match made in heaven."

“No, since Ah Heng asked you to take care of Xiao Gu, you have to do your best, you know? When the tasks are assigned in the spring, you have to give her the easier ones, otherwise her small body won’t be able to handle it.”

"Her room should be tidied up by now. I'll bring some groceries over later and see if they need anything, so those two young girls won't be confused."

Seeing his wife happily preparing things, the village chief was pleased but also a little worried. "Don't be too enthusiastic, or you might scare Xiao Gu."

The village chief's wife rolled her eyes at him. "Do you even need to tell me?"

Gu An'an had just seen the person off when she turned around and saw Li Yumei looking at her with a sour expression. She didn't want to pay attention to her and turned to carry her things into the neighboring yard.

"Gu An'an, why did you take those things over there?"

She saw it clearly: Gu An'an and Zhou Yue had been to the meat stall. Although they hadn't bought any good meat, it was still meat, and it was free meat, so she wouldn't complain.

As long as Gu An'an was still eating here, she could only get a piece or two of meat. But now that Gu An'an and the meat were about to run away, how could she not be anxious?

Gu An'an knew exactly what she was thinking, so she continued walking forward with her things, showing no intention of stopping.

"Hey, Gu An'an, I'm talking to you."

"Stop yelling, we'll move in today and cook for ourselves."

Zhou Yue picked up the remaining bag and followed Gu An'an, but Li Yumei blocked her way.

"What do you two mean? You think you can just team up and break up whenever you want? What kind of place do you take us for?"
