Chapter 171 There Are Not So Many What-Ifs
Gu Yuexuan stared at him intently, still holding the precisely severed hair in her hand. Her fingertips touched the slightly prickly texture of the broken end, causing her to frown. She tried to understand his behavior, but remained perplexed. "I wonder what the meaning of tying the hair is?"
Tu Subo chuckled, and his smile seemed to carry some deep meaning: "Your understanding is correct, but why choose such a length?" There was a meaningful sarcasm in his words.
Gu Yuexuan's face was a little stiff, and she was puzzled: "It doesn't matter if it grows long, I have plenty of hair." But what she couldn't understand was, "Why do you want to cut the hair on my forehead?" There was a hint of helplessness in her tone.
Tu Subo's eyes flashed with a hint of teasing. "The place you chose is extremely tricky. When you tie your hair tomorrow, there will be a missing piece at the corner of your forehead, and only the scattered hair roots will be left."
Tu Subo looked at the scene in front of him with a serious look, and fell into deep thought.
Gu Yuexuan was extremely indignant. She slammed her palm on the bed and shouted angrily, "You clearly did this on purpose!"
"Tu Subo, you are deliberately seeking revenge against me!"
Gu Yuexuan’s estimation of her own image was extremely accurate.
The next morning, she lowered her head to examine the ends of her hair on the water surface that she couldn't push down no matter what she did, with a silent expression on her face, like a silent stone sculpture.
The hair that was forced to be cut off during the resistance carried a bit of unyielding rebellious spirit.
The upright hair fully reveals Gu Yuexuan's unspoken tenacity and pride.
Tu Subo knew that he had made a mistake and did not dare to say anything. He consciously helped to move the items that Yu was going to take out one by one onto the mule cart, and gently draped a cloak made of high-quality fox fur on Gu Yuexuan's shoulders.
"Be careful, don't catch a cold."
Gu Yuexuan glanced at him expressionlessly: "Do you believe that I will shave your head when I come back?"
Shave off all your black hair!
Tu Subo looked embarrassed: "Xuanxuan, I was careless, I didn't..."
"Xuanxuan, are you ready?"
Yu hurriedly put on her hat and walked out of the room. Seeing Gu Yuexuan's hair standing up, she asked in surprise, "What's wrong with your hair?"
"hair?"
"What hair?"
Xi Lanfang, who came out right behind her, squinted her eyes and looked at her carefully, exclaiming, "Xuanxuan, why is there a piece of your hair broken off?"
Gu Yuexuan curled the corners of her mouth slightly.
Seeing that she looked unhappy, Tu Subo didn't dare to ask any more questions. He smiled and said, "It's nothing serious. You just accidentally got burned."
"Second Aunt, this package is for Second Uncle and Tu Su Minfei. Remember this and don't make the mistake when you get to the embroidery shop."
"I'm going to the village chief's house to help first. Please be careful."
As soon as he finished speaking, he hurried away. Gu Yuexuan gritted her teeth, forced a smile and said, "That's right, I just got burned by accident."
"Mother-in-law, Second Aunt and I will leave first. I'll leave the housework to you and Third Aunt."
Xi Lanfang hadn't recovered from Tu Subo's obvious guilt. After a moment's pause, she quickly nodded and agreed: "Okay, okay. The wind is strong and the snow is heavy. Remember to put on your cloaks and hats in the car to avoid catching a cold."
"Come back early after you finish your work. We will have dinner ready at home."
On the way to the city, Yu tried hard to suppress her curiosity, but her eyes still involuntarily fell on the standing ends of Gu Yuexuan's hair, and she would take a quick glance at her from time to time.
That naughty strand of hair was broken at just the right place, right on the slightly protruding forehead above the brow arch, standing up unruly, and even the hat could hardly suppress it. It was like an exploded cat's tail, each strand clearly visible, silently revealing an indescribable anger.
Gu Yuexuan couldn't help laughing at the scrutinizing gaze. She gently adjusted her warm cloak and said with a wry smile, "Second Aunt, do I look a little funny?"
Yu shook her head in disbelief, "How is that possible?"
"You have a handsome face. Even if you shave your head, it won't affect your beauty."
That look made people laugh and couldn't help but look at it a few more times.
Gu Yuexuan laughed heartily at her reaction, but when she thought of Tu Subo's guilty look the whole night, she couldn't help but sigh with a headache.
This guy is so mean that it makes me grit my teeth.
If I had known earlier, I should have quietly shaved off his eyebrows while he was sleeping!
This way, she wouldn't be the only one being noticed today...
Gu Yuexuan, full of resentment, stepped into the county town with light steps, and first accompanied Yu to the embroidery shop as agreed.
They had already worked together in the embroidery shop and were already familiar with the process, including delivery, inspection, and collection of new materials. After all matters were handled, Yu signed her name seriously on the account book handed to her by the boss.
She took the wages from the boss, a trace of emotion flashing in her eyes. As she and Gu Yuexuan left the embroidery shop, she said self-deprecatingly, "Don't worry if you laugh at me, but before I took this job, I almost forgot how to write my own name. My hands were shaking the first time I picked up the pen, and I almost made a fool of myself."
Ever since she became the second wife of the Tu Su family, she has been called the Second Madam Tu Su both inside and outside the family, as if she has nothing left except this title.
However, time flies, who would have expected that she would now have the opportunity to seriously introduce her name to others.
Gu Yuexuan took a deep breath of the cool air and laughed softly: "Isn't this great?"
“Being a wife and a mother doesn’t mean losing yourself.”
If a person does not work for himself, he will be punished by heaven and earth.
It turns out that women can also live independently without relying on anyone.
Yu smiled with emotion, speechless. Gu Yuexuan looked around and suggested, "Second Aunt, we have a lot to buy today. If we keep going back and forth, I'm afraid we'll miss our return home."
"How about this? Let's find someone to go to the gambling house and call Min Fei out. You find a chance to talk to him, and I'll go to the grain store up ahead to see if there's any suitable grain."
She was actually just making an excuse.
After all, Tu Su Min Fei had never returned since he left home. In order not to disrupt his work, Yu Shi also tried to avoid disturbing him when she went into town, so the reunion of mother and son became quite rare.
When other mothers and sons have private conversations to share, wouldn't it be embarrassing for her to just stand by and stare?
Yu was grateful for her thoughtfulness and consideration. After a moment's hesitation, she slowly said, "But isn't this a bit risky?"
"After all, this is your first time going out alone. What if..."
"How can there be so many what-ifs?"
Gu Yuexuan smiled and replied, "Besides, we won't be apart for too long. I'm going out to buy some things and will be back to meet you in half an hour at most."
"Let's go. I'll go with you to find someone to call Tu Suminfei out."
As for Tu Suye.
Forget it. Apart from the old lady who is worried about her son but cannot go out, I am afraid no one cares about him.
Tu Subo's instructions were still ringing in her ears, and Gu Yuexuan naturally knew what was more important.
Such a place where crazy people gather is indeed not suitable for them to set foot in.
