Chapter 237 A Kiss as a Price
"We have extensive farmland, and the new waterwheel will be very useful. Since we've already started, we might as well build one of the right size right away to avoid unnecessary trouble in the future."
However, the tasks required are quite complicated, and it is obviously difficult for a few people to handle the installation process alone. Several skilled carpenters have to be invited to help.
The old grandfather had anticipated this and nodded gently, saying calmly, "It's okay."
"I recently visited the village and found a group of carpenters with excellent skills. As long as you confirm the start date, you can go and invite them to help."
When Tu Suting thought of this, he was so excited that he didn't even bother to wash his hands. He immediately took out the drawing that he loved so much and had touched countless times, spread it out on the table, pointed to the marked parts on it, and explained it enthusiastically.
The old grandfather listened patiently, while Tu Subo and Tu Su Minfei also stood by, listening with fascination.
Tu Suting finally stopped talking until his mouth was dry. The old grandfather gently stroked the yellowed corner of the blueprint and said with a smile, "Your idea is indeed ingenious, and your preparations are very thorough. It's just that the blueprint is a bit crude."
If there was no one to explain it in detail, no one would be able to understand it if this drawing was suddenly taken out.
Gu Yuexuan touched her nose and said awkwardly, "Grandfather, you know I'm still a little lacking in drawing skills. Thanks to Third Uncle for helping me polish it, otherwise this drawing would be even more difficult to read."
The old grandfather didn't take it seriously and said calmly, "What's the difficulty?"
"Bo'er."
Tu Subo immediately stepped out and said, "Grandfather."
The old grandfather gently tapped the thick stack of drawings on the table and said slowly, "I remember you have excellent drawing skills. Please take some time to redraw these drawings. If there are any questions, please ask Xuanxuan carefully. Make sure to get them exactly right. These drawings will be very useful in the future, so be sure to pay attention to every detail."
Upon hearing this, a glimmer of joy immediately flashed in Tu Subo's eyes.
The old grandfather still had doubts in his heart, suspecting that there was a disagreement between him and Gu Yuexuan, and this was obviously a deliberate attempt to provide him with a step down.
He smiled slightly and nodded gently: "Grandfather, please rest assured, I will do my best."
The old grandfather still looked at Gu Yuexuan with some concern: "Xuan'er, you must draw the pattern in great detail. Can you do it?"
Despite having explained it countless times to Tu Subo, Gu Yuexuan still couldn't dispel her grandfather's doubts. She sniffed lightly, trying to suppress the corners of her mouth that were about to turn up, lowered her head and smiled: "I can do it."
Only then did the old grandfather feel relieved.
The others present also breathed a sigh of relief.
After all, the Tu Su family cannot afford to have another unfilial descendant who beats his wife.
Especially Tu Subo, absolutely not!
Everyone seemed to want to give Tu Subo a chance to mend his ways, so dinner that night was unusually harmonious and peaceful. Afterward, Gu Yuexuan and Tu Subo were sent back to the stables.
Tu Su Yanting also accepted Li's special instructions and specially sent a bright drawing oil lamp.
She carefully placed the oil lamp, then approached Gu Yuexuan and whispered softly, "Sister-in-law, if anything happens, just call us loudly."
"We must be able to hear it!"
Gu Yuexuan pinched her palms tightly, trying to hold back her laughter under Tu Subo's almost suffocating gaze. She gently put her arm around Tu Su Yanting's shoulders and nodded seriously.
"Don't worry, I won't be stupid enough to get beaten."
Tu Su Yanting left worriedly, looking back every few steps. Tu Subo quickly closed the door, turned around and stared at Gu Yuexuan, who was lying on the quilt and laughing secretly, his face ashen.
"Xuanxuan."
Gu Yuexuan laughed so hard that she fell forward and backward, and let out a breathless sound.
Tu Subo's expression grew increasingly gloomy, his teeth grinding against each other. "Is it really that funny?"
"Hahaha!"
Gu Yuexuan's hands trembled with laughter. After a long while, her voice was still trembling: "Tu Subo, today you also have a taste of this, hahaha!"
"Have you heard what new things Tu Suminyang told me today?"
"He actually said he would find me a stick that I like and hide it under the bed so I could strike first..."
"Oh, I really can't help laughing... Minxu even specially prepared a bag of mud for me, jokingly saying that it can be used to block my vision."
Gu Yuexuan couldn't help but smile when she recalled the unconventional and powerful gifts she had received.
Tu Subo initially watched coldly with a frown on his face, but as the words flowed, he couldn't help but let out a few low chuckles.
"They put a lot of thought into it."
Little did he know that such a gift was really hard for him to accept. Gu Yuexuan was still biting the pillowcase and laughing heartily. Seeing this, Tu Subo could no longer endure it, and suddenly gritted his teeth and pounced on her.
"Ouch! What are you doing?"
"What else can I do?"
Tu Subo pressed Gu Yuexuan under him and turned her over to face him. He originally wanted to pinch her hard a few times to vent his hatred. However, when he saw her cheeks flushed from laughing too hard, his raised hand suddenly lost its strength.
Gu Yuexuan was already very young, and her little face was as big as a baby's palm. At this moment, it was unusually rosy, making her look even more petite and charming.
It is so delicate that one can't help but want to protect it.
Tu Subo's teeth were chattering as he looked around, unable to find a place to vent his anger. Finally, he could only helplessly poke the cute dimple on the side of Gu Yuexuan's face, gnashing his teeth inwardly: "Seeing them treat you coldly and harshly, you've picked up a lot of jokes. Aren't you happy?"
"Do you think this is funny?"
"Does it really make you so happy?"
Gu Yuexuan laughed so hard that she could hardly breathe. She reached out and tried to push Tu Subo away, but found that he didn't move at all. So she covered her face with her hands as if giving up, and laughed muffledly, "I've already explained it to you."
Tu Subo's expression twisted: "Are you trying to explain this to me?"
"The more you explain, the greater my crime becomes. It's better for me to remain silent."
The well-intentioned explanation eventually turned into the bitter fruit of enduring humiliation.
In the process of forbearance and endurance, Tu Subo silently bore the unfair accusations and had no choice but to remain silent.
The joy in Gu Yuexuan's heart grew like bamboo shoots after a spring rain, but this time, before her joy could turn into laughter, it was suppressed by Tu Subo's rogue-like sealing of her lips.
Tu Subo's lips curled slightly, his head tilted forward slightly, and he took a bite. A playful glint flashed in his eyes, and his gaze was fixed on Gu Yuexuan's peach-like face. There was a hint of cunning in the corner of his mouth: "Every smile must be paid with a kiss."
Before he finished speaking, he tempted her further, "As long as you offer a kiss, it will be exchanged for two laughs. If the laughs continue, we won't need to do anything else. We can spend this endless night together just kissing each other."
