Chapter 235: Mouth Becomes Useless Decoration
Gu Yuexuan turned her head away awkwardly, unwilling to pay attention to him, but Tu Subo refused to let her go. He leaned over to take a closer look: "Come on, open your mouth and let me see your little broken teeth. Why don't you feel any pain when you bite people?"
"Tu Subo!"
Tu Subo laughed softly so hard that his shoulders shook. Gu Yuexuan angrily raised her leg and kicked his calf.
"Get out of here! I'm getting upset just by looking at you!"
Tu Subo suppressed his smile and agreed softly. Without waiting for Gu Yuexuan to drive him away again, he consciously left the house.
Gu Yuexuan leaned her hands on the cabinet and took a deep breath to calm herself down. When the back of her hand gently slid across the corner of her lips, a tremor flashed in her eyes.
At this moment, she really felt powerless.
Gu Yuexuan struggled to calm herself down and carefully straightened her clothes that had been wrinkled by Tu Subo. She didn't push the door open until she thought she looked alright. However, she found herself surrounded by several young men, who were scolding her.
Even Tu Su Minfei, who had just stepped into the threshold, couldn't help but glance in Gu Yuexuan's direction.
Her eyes were red, her cheeks were a bright pink, and her neck was swollen like a cooked shrimp, obviously she had been very angry.
Yu's eyes flashed with worry, and she murmured softly, "Xuanxuan?"
"Um?"
Gu Yuexuan blinked in confusion and asked doubtfully, "Second Aunt, what happened?"
Oops, even my voice has become hoarse!
Everyone vaguely heard the sound of an argument coming from the stable and looked at each other. Tu Subo, who had a smile on his face, became the target of everyone's criticism, which immediately made them furious.
He argued with his wife as soon as he stepped into the house and did such a ridiculous thing, yet he had the audacity to laugh!
Yu and Li exchanged a worried look, not wanting Gu Yuexuan to witness the source of her annoyance again. They quickly pulled her aside and said, "Xuanxuan, something seems to have gone wrong with the needlework I was doing yesterday. Can you help me take a look?"
Xi Lanfang, feeling uneasy, also hurriedly agreed: "Yes, yes, go and help your second aunt!"
Gu Yuexuan, who hadn't figured out the situation yet, was completely bewildered. She said in confusion, "But I don't know anything about needlework."
She really knew nothing about female workers.
Yu pulled her aside without hesitation: "Who said you can't do it? I always feel that your aesthetic taste and craftsmanship are extraordinary! Third Aunt, don't you think so?"
Li nodded quickly, "That's right, that's exactly what happened!"
Gu Yuexuan was dragged away in confusion. The four little ones held their breath nervously, watching Gu Yuexuan disappear behind the door. As the door closed, they all cast angry glances at Tu Subo who was trapped in the corner.
Tu Suminyang was the first to speak out: "Brother, what on earth did you do to displease your sister-in-law?"
Tu Su Yanting then questioned, "Brother, do you know how hard your sister-in-law has worked recently? Do you know how much pressure she's been under? Why did you argue with her as soon as you got home? Don't you feel guilty?"
In the novel world of Tu Su Minxu and Tu Su Yunxi, criticism is like a storm. The two little faces are tense and serious, and they nod vigorously to show their firm agreement.
Tu Suminxu asked sternly, "Don't you feel ashamed?"
Tu Su Yunxi echoed: "That's right, it's really too much!"
Facing the excited four little ones, Tu Subo helplessly spread his hands and stared at them expressionlessly, his tone carrying a hint of complicated helplessness: "Is there anyone willing to listen to my explanation?"
Tu Suminfei, who was the last to step through the door, put down what he was holding, crossed his arms, and leaned against the pillar. He glanced at Tu Subo with a cold gaze and said in a calm tone, "Okay, you tell me."
In fact, some things are difficult to explain even if you speak eloquently.
Just like Tu Subo who returned several months later.
Everyone has witnessed Gu Yuexuan's hard work during this period. Although they don't say much, they all remember it in their hearts.
No one knew what Tu Subo had in secret with Gu Yuexuan in the house on the first day he returned home.
However, the faint sound of arguing continued to be heard, and Gu Yuexuan's pitiful and tearful appearance was also seen by everyone.
Tu Subo was really speechless at this moment.
In the vast wilderness, Tu Suting played with a piece of wood in his hands and sighed without looking up, "Tu Subo, I'm not being nosy, but you must take responsibility! Think about your father. He lived in harmony with your mother his entire life. How did you mess it up?"
Gu Yuexuan's idea of using a waterwheel to irrigate and simultaneously power the threshing bucket was truly novel, and after days of intense contemplation, Tu Suting became intrigued. He admired Gu Yuexuan's endless stream of ingenious ideas, but he grew increasingly annoyed with Tu Subo, who was suspected of bullying Gu Yuexuan.
In recent days, facing repeated questioning, Tu Subo had no choice but to purse his lips and remain silent.
Tu Suting continued to chatter, "Xuanxuan is a good child. How could you make her unhappy the moment you stepped into the house?"
"Don't learn bad habits again. Don't go looking at your uncle's half-human, half-ghost appearance, lest you pick up his bad habits!"
Tu Subo was exhausted and remained silent.
Tu Suting widened his eyes in displeasure: "Are you even listening to me?"
"Your father is no longer alive. As your third uncle, I have the right to discipline you! If you continue to misbehave, not only will it be difficult to explain to your grandfather, but I won't let you off easily either!"
Tu Subo smiled bitterly, lowered his head helplessly, and said obediently: "Third Uncle's teachings are all engraved in my heart."
"It's not enough to just remember. You have to do everything you promised to do, so that you can be said to be consistent with your words and deeds."
Tu Suting continued to nag, and Tu Subo sighed helplessly.
Just as he was considering whether to make another pointless excuse, Gu Yuexuan came in.
She is not alone.
The four younger generations, led by Tu Suminyang, followed closely behind her like loyal guards. Before Gu Yuexuan even approached, Tu Suminyang impatiently ran over and waved his hand for the others to retreat.
"Brother, go back quickly, Grandfather wants to see you!"
Tu Subo felt a headache when he saw Tu Su Yanting pulling Gu Yuexuan a few steps away from him.
Tu Su Yanting's face was full of vigilance: "Brother, Grandfather has urgently summoned you and asks you to return quickly."
Tu Suminxu rushed over and grabbed him: "Let's go! Big brother, please go!"
Four days passed.
Four long days.
During these four days, everyone seemed to treat him as a thief and was always on guard against him.
When around Gu Yuexuan, Tu Subo was deprived of the right to even get close to her, let alone talk to her.
Gu Yuexuan tried to defend Tu Subo with a kind heart, but before she finished her words, the accusatory eyes directed at Tu Subo became sharper, like dark clouds before a storm.
Xi Lanfang's eyes sparkled with tears as she poured out her heart to Yu: "Look, Xuanxuan is so sensible. Even when she suffered injustice, she didn't say a word. She also tried her best to cover up for Tu Subo, fearing that her family would misunderstand him. However, Tu Subo's behavior was obviously arrogant and unreasonable. He acted recklessly. How could this be a misunderstanding..."
Tu Subo was speechless. His eloquent mouth became a useless decoration at this moment.
Due to Tu Suye’s previous misconduct, the whole family’s trust in Tu Subo plummeted.
