Chapter 31: Bringing My Wife to the City



Copying books should be quite lucrative, and copying one book would probably earn at least a few hundred coins. But there was only about a hundred coins in this purse, so Gu Linxuan must have saved it for a long time.

Yu Nian originally had a lot to say to Gu Linxuan, but when she thought about how hard he worked to copy books and how little money he got.

Her heart just felt a pang of pain.

"Don't worry," Yu Nian pursed her lips and whispered, "I'll spend it sparingly."

After Yu Nian finished speaking, he seemed to have thought of something.

She looked at Gu Linxuan seriously, and said solemnly: "From now on, I will support you."

When Yu Nian said this, Gu Linxuan was stunned for a moment.

He just thought this was funny. If Yu Nian could really support him, how could he fall into the hands of human traffickers?

Thinking this way, Gu Linxuan also didn't want Yu Nian to be under too much psychological pressure.

He turned to look at Yu Nian seriously and asked, "How are you going to support me? Cut grass for the pigs?"

As soon as these words were spoken, Yu Nian burst out laughing.

Not to mention, the characters in this book are quite funny.

Yu Nian covered her mouth and laughed secretly, but Gu Linxuan looked at her helplessly: "Don't worry, I will copy more books in the future. At least we two won't starve to death."

Don’t even mention it, you might actually starve to death.

Yu Nian's scalp tingled when she thought of the ending of herself and Gu Linxuan on the famine road.

Come to think of it, her current situation is not good.

Especially her golden finger is medical skills.

It is definitely impossible to make money by treating patients now.

Yu Nian thought about it for a long time, and finally came up with the idea of ​​asking Lu Yan for a free meal.

"Okay, go ahead." Yu Nian wanted to say something but Gu Linxuan just waved his hand slightly in her direction.

Now, Yu Nian couldn't say the words that were on the tip of his tongue anymore.

She turned and walked out, thinking of Gu Linxuan's sad look, and finally decided to go back to the bookstore to help him find work.

After all, Gu Linxuan was unable to move before, so he had to beg Gu Dabao.

Now that I'm here, there's no reason for him to continue working for Gu Dabao, right?

"Can we go now?"

The people in the yard went to the fields one after another.

In the old Gu family, there was indeed such a rule - only those who had to work in the fields could eat breakfast. In the morning, several women held their stomachs and began to clean up the house.

"Let's go."

Yu Nian glanced at Lu Yan and did not miss the movement of Lu Yan reaching out to rub his belly.

In the end times, both of them would keep a low profile if they had food.

Lu Yan's action is a common one. It means he is hungry and goes looking for food.

Yu Nian looked at her little movements, and the corners of his mouth curled up unconsciously. Sure enough, even if the time and place changed, their feelings did not change.

Yu Nian quietly made an "OK" gesture and followed Lu Yan and Gu Linbei towards the village entrance.

"Hey, isn't this the fifth son of the Gu family? Are you bringing your wife into the city?"

When I passed by the tree, several women were already chatting.

Seeing Gu Linbei and the others coming over, the aunts all looked at them, with Yu Nian looking at them the most.

After what Old Lady Gu said in the village yesterday, even if she explained it later, it would be of no use.

The way all the aunts in the village stared at Yu Nian was clearly showing their sympathy.

Of course, explanations won't help.

Lu Yan believed that even if Yu Nian got pregnant someday, the gossipers in the village would not think that Gu Linxuan was having an affair again, but that Yu Nian was having an affair.

People are like this, they can't stand others doing better than them.

Since Mrs. Gu has already said it, there is no chance to take it back.

"Yes." Gu Linbei responded casually and wanted to leave with Lu Yan and Yu Nian.

At this time, an aunt spoke again: "Is this the sixth brother's daughter-in-law? Oh, she is not bad looking."

The aunt who was speaking was none other than herself.

It’s the old lady Xue who threw a tantrum yesterday.

Everyone in the village said that Yu Nian and Lu Yan didn't get along.

She had offended Lu Yan yesterday, so naturally she had to find an ally today. Gossipmongers in this village were like that; forming cliques and factions was not uncommon.

When Yu Nian heard the old woman say this to him, he subconsciously raised his hand and touched the spot on his face.

She didn't have any spots on her face before.

However, this body had been malnourished since childhood, and had been beaten and exposed to the sun for a long time, so it had spots.

"Auntie, what you said is true."

Lu Yan looked at the old woman with a half-smile: "My mother fell in love with both of us at the same time, there must be a reason. Otherwise, she can't be a sucker, right?"

With just one sentence, Lu Yan stopped the little tricks in Mrs. Xue's mind.

Old Mrs. Xue couldn't help but glare at Lu Yan, but she didn't dare to say anything else.

It was really because Lu Yan was so eloquent yesterday. No one in the village, whether wives or girls, dared to speak like Lu Yan.

He's really not afraid of being beaten to death.

"Okay, hurry up! It's so early in the morning, and we can't even have breakfast. We still have to work like cattle and horses every day."

Lu Yan said this and let out a long sigh.

She never forgets to flatter Old Lady Gu wherever she goes.

The aunt in front of her naturally didn't believe what Lu Yan said.

But it doesn't matter, aren't the other aunts still listening? Isn't it these big mouths that spread all the gossip in the village?

Sure enough, Lu Yan and the others quickly turned around and left.

The aunts under the big tree were chattering non-stop.

"I really didn't realize that the old woman from the Gu family was actually this kind of person."

"Isn't it? My daughter-in-law has caused so much trouble on the first day she came home."

"You don't know, Lu Yan was in the mountains yesterday, covered in blood. My husband said that when they saw her, they thought she was going to die."

Several old women were talking to each other, because Old Mrs. Gu had a bad reputation in the village.

Therefore, everyone is still willing to believe what Lu Yan says.

Only Old Mrs. Xue, whose old face was rubbed on the ground by Lu Yan, did not believe what Lu Yan said.

"I think Lao Wu's wife is just a smooth talker. Maybe she planned this all! Lao Wu sent people up the mountain to rescue such a person! What a waste..."

Before Mrs. Xue finished her words, the other maids turned their heads to look at her.

There are more or less frictions among the people in this village.

But if you wish others to die, that is really too much.

So everyone moved a little further away from Old Mrs. Xue.

Lu Yan and Yu Nian were unaware of this little episode in the village, and they quickly followed Gu Linbei onto the ox cart.

There is an ox cart that goes from Xiaohe Village to An County.

The driver was Zhou Hao, the second son of the village chief.

But everyone who rides the bus must pay two cents for the fare.

This is also the reason why most of the villagers have never been to the county town in their entire lives.

It’s hard to walk fifty miles.

But if they were asked to pay two copper coins to ride in an ox cart, they would be reluctant to do so.
