Chapter 208 The Task of Pasting Spring Festival Couplets
Tu Subo was thrown backwards by the sudden attack and lay on the ridge. Looking at Gu Yuexuan who had suddenly attacked him and was staring down at him, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but twitch, his throat rolled a few times, and finally he said with an uncontrollable smile: "Xuanxuan, I..."
"Excuse me."
Tu Suminfei, who had been eavesdropping outside, lifted the windshield of the greenhouse expressionlessly and looked at Tu Subo lying on the ground with complicated eyes.
"Although I don't want to interrupt your intimate time as a couple, but brother, the matter you mentioned to me before has come to some conclusion. Do you want to hear about it?"
Tu Subo supported himself on the ground with one hand and stood up without leaving any trace. Before he could reply, Tu Suminfei said considerately, "But if you still want to continue 'sparring', I can actually wait for a while."
"There's no rush."
Gu Yuexuan didn't expect that there was a third person hiding here. She was stunned helplessly and covered her face silently.
"No, I don't want to 'compete' with him anymore..."
Gu Yuexuan looked solemn, her steps staggered, and she disappeared from Tu Subo's sight in a panic, leaving him with only a panicked back.
When he was wrestling with Tu Subo, he was accidentally caught by someone and his embarrassment was beyond words.
Tu Suminfei had a faint smile on his lips. His gaze lingered for a moment in the direction she had left. Suddenly, the memory of Gu Yuexuan rescuing him from a predicament surfaced in his mind. He gently lowered the windshield and muttered thoughtfully, "Sister-in-law's skills are truly agile. Was this the result of my brother's training?"
Tu Subo neither confirmed nor denied it. He simply brushed off the dirt on his hem and asked casually, "Are there any progress?"
Tu Su Minfei then threw him a ball of paper.
"Hao Ren, Liu Tiegang."
He crossed his arms and said disapprovingly, "I've sent people to inquire, and they have close ties with Wei Tianwen. Liu Tiegang is even his wife's younger brother, so they have a very close relationship."
These people are not cunning. After a few cups of rice wine, they will blurt out secrets and grievances. They want to destroy the greenhouse of Tu Su's family. The revengeful mentality has spread among many gangsters. A little investigation can reveal the details.
Tu Suminfei gently rubbed his hands and said calmly, "On the day the incident happened, these two were with Wei Tianwen. Later, when something happened on our side, they were honest and did not act rashly."
"But Wei Tianwen's wife went back to her parents' home. The most violent group lately is Liu Tiegang, who's been refusing to give up at the village chief's house. Most of those making noise are ruffians he's summoned. They're all birds of a feather."
This matter has long deviated from its original intention.
At first, Mrs. Wei may have really felt that she had been wronged and wanted to return to her parents' home to seek help and seek justice for Wei Tianwen, who had been tortured beyond recognition.
But when this matter falls into the hands of a scoundrel like Liu Tiegang, the purpose of these people creating chaos every day is no longer for justice, but to take the opportunity to extort money.
Tu Su Minfei did not agree to take action at this time.
He said in a subtle tone: "The Tusu family has stayed out of this matter. No matter how big the storm is, it can't reach our doorstep. The situation is not as urgent as my eldest brother said."
Don't those people want to create chaos?
Then let them make a fuss.
Anyway, it was not the Tu Su family that was affected. In his opinion, there was no difference between other families.
Tu Subo was not surprised by his opinion. He tore up the paper that recorded the locations and details of the two people's frequent appearances into pieces and threw them into the burning kang. He said indifferently, "There should be a limit to ingratitude. I can't compare to your open-mindedness."
A hint of amusement flashed across Tu Su Minfei's brows. He snorted contemptuously, a mocking arc hanging on the corner of his mouth as he said slowly, "Brother, your conscience, which weighs less than two taels, would probably be about the same as mine if you pulled it out. It's so light and airy that it can't even be weighed. How dare you talk about noble character in front of me?"
"Could it be that the sister-in-law feels guilty?"
If Gu Yuexuan hadn't felt uneasy, how could Tu Subo have understood other people's troubles?
Does Tu Subo really care about the life and death of others?
Among his ten sentences, three were about Gu Yuexuan, and Tu Subo's eyes were inevitably mixed with a hint of coldness.
"Tu Su Minfei, don't forget your identity."
Tu Suminfei sneered, staring at him without hesitation, a playful smile on his lips: "Sister-in-law has a strong character but a gentle heart. I'm afraid she can't stand such harsh words. If you really want to take action, call me. I'm rough in both methods and heart, and I'm not afraid of getting my hands dirty."
Perhaps it was because at this point, there was no need to hide his true self anymore. Tu Su Minfei seemed to have been reborn since his return. He completely abandoned his previous mentality of pretending to be nice to Tu Subo, and was so frank that even Tu Subo was caught off guard.
Tu Subo smiled self-deprecatingly, his eyes fixed on the notes on the kang that were engulfed by the flames and eventually turned into ashes, his expression complex and unpredictable.
Which of Tu Su Minfei's words was wrong?
The next afternoon, Xi Lanfang asked in confusion, "Xuanxuan, where did Bo'er go? Why hasn't he come back in so long?"
Gu Yuexuan picked out a pair of Spring Festival couplets written by her grandfather and carefully placed them on the table. She replied helplessly, "He just said he was going out, but he didn't tell me what he was going to do in detail."
If she doesn't know something, no one else has any way of knowing it.
Xi Lanfang couldn't help but mutter, "He said he had to go out early in the morning, but what could have delayed him for so long?"
Early in the morning?
Gu Yuexuan's heart trembled slightly, and she pursed her lips slightly, remaining silent amid Xi Lanfang's puzzled murmurs.
Tu Subo did mention last night that he was going out early in the morning, but she didn't sleep well last night, and it was clear that this person left home in the middle of the night.
What on earth did he do?
Before Xi Lanfang finished her muttering, Yu also sighed.
"Min Fei is nowhere to be found. There are so many Spring Festival couplets waiting to be posted. Why did these two children choose to go out at the same time?"
Tu Suminyang was guarding the steaming hot paste. Hearing this, he waved his hands excitedly and said, "I'll paste it!"
“I’m not afraid of heights!”
Tomorrow is New Year's Eve, and Spring Festival couplets are an indispensable embellishment.
The old man and Tu Suting possess exceptional literary talent. With their scissors, they cut vibrant red paper and wrote auspicious Spring Festival couplets as if it were a simple, everyday task. However, time has taken its toll. The old man's advanced age has made climbing heights difficult for him, while Tu Suting suffers from acrophobia, even ladders daunt him. Therefore, the task of pasting Spring Festival couplets can only be completed by patiently waiting for Tu Subo or Tu Sumin to return.
Tu Suminyang wanted to take the initiative to take on this job, but before he could finish his words, Gu Yuexuan tapped him on the forehead.
"You're not even as high as the ladder. What will happen if you climb up there?"
