Chapter 104: Softening the Bones of Rebellion
"Brother, father has agreed to go to the city to work. We will set off tomorrow."
The night is long and dreams are many, so he plans to act as soon as possible and take the person away.
Tu Subo responded in a deep voice: "There are all kinds of people in the gambling house. Anyone who is taken out must be kept under close watch to prevent any trouble."
He was not really worried about Tu Su Minfei's safety, but he just didn't want to cause any more trouble and lead to family discord.
The old grandfather's body can no longer withstand any stimulation. If another disturbance occurs, it will only leave endless troubles.
Tu Suminfei smiled knowingly and said slowly, "Don't worry, I've got it all in mind."
Before turning back to the house, he tilted his head slightly, looked at Tu Subo with deep eyes and said, "Brother, you must be more careful when entering the mountains. After all..."
"Someone at home is waiting for your return."
Tu Subo's eyes were as sharp as knives as he glanced at her coldly.
Tu Su Minfei smiled, said nothing more, turned around and closed the door.
Tu Subo returned to the stable, and Tu Su Minfei's smile, which seemed both concerned and sarcastic, emerged in his mind, and he felt secretly troubled.
This kid just can't change his nature.
He clearly did it on purpose!
Tu Subo was disturbed by Tu Su Minfei's words. Just when he was wondering whether to urge her again, Gu Yuexuan, who had disappeared for a whole night, finally returned.
Tu Subo was lying on his side with his eyes closed, pretending to be asleep. She didn't notice anything unusual.
In the basket she was holding, besides Tu Subo's clothes, there was also a thick padded jacket that she had not had time to put on.
Due to price restrictions, the cotton and fabrics she had previously purchased from the cloth shop were of mediocre quality and were far less warming than the ones her mother had sent from Kyoto.
So, she simply took off her clothes and used better materials as lining. Under the guidance of Yu, Xi Lanfang and others, she worked overtime and finally completed a thick cotton jacket that matched Tu Subo's figure tonight.
Gu Yuexuan carefully placed the hastily sewn coat over the neatly arranged cloth bag. Her movements were as gentle as a feather caressing the water, and she climbed slowly and silently along the edge of the bed.
Tu Subo, who was lying against the wall, seemed to be immersed in a deep dream. He turned inward unconsciously. The straightened quilt on the bed exuded a warm scent, which made Gu Yuexuan, who was curled up in it, couldn't help but yawn lazily.
After a whole night of hard work, she was indeed extremely tired.
The breathing sounds coming from his ears gradually became longer. Tu Subo waited patiently for a long time. Only when he was sure that Gu Yuexuan had fallen asleep did he slowly turn around.
His gaze lingered briefly on the new items in the room, and then fell on Gu Yuexuan's hand resting on the edge of the quilt.
Gu Yuexuan was born with fair skin. Even though she had been exposed to the wind and sun and busy among the smoke of cooking for days, her skin was still as delicate as jade. Her fingers, as white as scallions, were even whiter than Tu Subo's cheeks, as if they could squeeze out moisture with a light pinch.
However, at this moment, there were more than a dozen reddish needle holes on her white and tender fingertips.
These needle holes are like blood-red cinnabar sprinkled on the bright moonlight, so bright that it is shocking.
Although these needle holes were not conspicuous, they silently aroused a surge of heat in Tu Subo's heart, making his heart instantly hot.
He suppressed the heat surging in his throat, gently held Gu Yuexuan's hand, and in the dark night, he lowered his head and left a gentle and intimate touch on her tiny needle hole that no one noticed.
In the dark night, Gu Yuexuan seemed to sense something, her fingers curled slightly, and in a daze, she heard Tu Subo's soft, almost doting whisper: "Everything is fine, sleep peacefully."
"I'm here, sleeping peacefully..."
A dreamless night, and in the blink of an eye, the morning light comes.
Before going to bed, Gu Yuexuan remembered to remind Tu Subo not to miss anything, but when she woke up, the figure beside the bed had disappeared.
The coat that was draped over the cloth bag also disappeared.
She rubbed her sleepy eyes and walked out of the stable. The air was filled with the rich aroma of heated soy milk.
She soaked the beans herself yesterday. As for who got up so early to grind the beans, the answer is self-evident.
She looked around but couldn't see Tu Subo. She asked curiously, "Grandma, where is Tu Subo?"
"Before daybreak, I followed the village hunters up the mountain."
Xi Lanfang explained helplessly, "You worked so hard sewing his coat last night, you must be exhausted, so I didn't disturb your rest when I left. It's still early, why don't you go back and catch up on some sleep?"
Now she can complete simple cooking tasks on her own and no longer needs Gu Yuexuan's assistance to make breakfast.
Gu Yuexuan hesitated for a moment, then shook her head and said with a smile, "No need, I'll wash up and come to the kitchen."
Xi Lanfang's heart moved, and her thoughts flashed across the night sky like a meteor. She put down the things in her hands and hurriedly grabbed the needle and thread in the basket.
In the embroidery shop, wages are paid on a piece-by-piece basis. If you complete one more piece, you can earn more money. This wealth must not be given up easily.
Yu and Li had the same idea.
The two women also started working early in the morning. Their hands never stopped and they were always busy.
Seeing this, Gu Yuexuan couldn't help but laugh. She took out some of the boiled bean juice for breakfast, and made the rest into tender and smooth tofu pudding.
A simple breakfast of steamed sweet potatoes and delicate tofu pudding, paired with a bowl of warm sweet bean juice, immediately made her feel energetic, even though she was still a little sleepy. It was also the time when Tu Suye and Tu Su Minfei were about to go out.
Tu Suye had been staying indoors for many days. When he appeared today, he looked even paler and more haggard than the sick Yu.
He walked out of the house and cast a fierce gaze at Yu, and the malice bursting out of his red eyes could almost devour a person.
Tu Suminfei stood in the middle calmly, saying in a calm tone, "Father, we should go and say goodbye to Grandpa and Grandma."
He slowly cut the meat like using a blunt knife, gradually softening Tu Suye's rebellious bones.
If Tu Suye had not gritted his teeth and refused to give in, his condition would not have improved.
Tu Suye had the evil thought of killing his son countless times in just a few days, but under Tu Su Minfei's hidden cold gaze, he had to suppress his anger forcibly.
The old grandfather in the family was dissatisfied with him, and the old lady was unable to protect him.
Although the family seemed harmonious on the surface, no one's heart was truly inclined towards him.
If the fact that Tu Su Minfei imprisoned and tortured him were made public, not only would no one believe it, he would even be overwhelmed by greater humiliation.
He had to endure it.
Tu Suminfei ignored his ferocious expression, which looked as if he wanted to peel off his skin and pull out his tendons, and continued to speak in a gentle and polite tone: "Father, if you don't go now, I'm afraid you will be late for departure."
"Let's go."
Tu Suye's face turned pale. He pushed away Tu Suminfei's support and staggered as he rushed into the main house.
Tu Suminfei followed calmly. Soon, the old lady's concerned voice could be heard from inside the house: "Didn't you say you were taking good care of yourself? Why is your face still so pale?"
"How can you go to work when you look so sick and sick? What will we do if you get sick?"
