As soon as I stood at the foot of the mountain, I heard the sound of Old Mrs. Gu crying and wailing.
Lu Yan's eardrums were stung by her screams, and his brows furrowed.
"Mother, what you said..." Yu Nian followed Mrs. Gu, her face full of helplessness: "Wasn't the fifth sister-in-law going up the mountain for our family? You..."
Yu Nian deliberately hinted at something.
Just kidding, she is socially anxious.
But, we can't let others bully our sisters, right?
As soon as Lu Yan came down the mountain, she saw Yu Nian, Song Jiao'e, and Old Lady Gu. She quickly winked at Yu Nian. After all, Yu Nian had lived with Lu Yan for a long time, so she immediately understood what Yu Nian meant.
She must have had a good harvest today, otherwise she wouldn't have made such an expression.
"Sixth wife, don't forget! If she hadn't been so shameless as to insist on marrying off yesterday, you wouldn't have to be a widow!" After saying this, Old Lady Gu pointed her finger at Lu Yan.
As soon as she said this, everyone looked at Yu Nian with sympathy.
It's not just because she was married off by Lu Yan.
Moreover, what Old Lady Gu said clearly told the villagers: Old Six Gu is not capable!
There were rumors in the village before that Gu Laoliu was paralyzed in bed, which was definitely not possible. Otherwise, the matchmaking would not have been proposed to Lu Yan's black-hearted parents.
"mother!"
As a woman, Mrs. Gu of course couldn't think of it at this level, but Gu Linbei's face immediately turned dark.
Following his scolding, Old Lady Gu was slightly stunned.
Then, I felt even more aggrieved.
"As the old saying goes, once you have a wife, you forget your mother. Lao Wu, this is only your first day as a wife. What kind of magic potion did she give you?"
Old Mrs. Gu's words made Gu Linbei's face turn black.
Lu Yan and Yu Nian discovered something.
Outside, Gu Linbei's attitude towards Old Lady Gu would obviously be more restrained. But at home, he was even more serious.
"Mom." Gu Linbei's face darkened. "What's the matter? Can't you go home and tell me?"
His mother had always been a slip-up-and-miss, but Gu Linbei couldn't bear the stigma of being unfilial. Thus, the mother and son were at odds with each other.
"Okay, this is indeed your family matter!" Seeing that Mrs. Gu was about to refuse, the village chief Zhou next to her quickly interrupted the conversation.
Old Mrs. Gu was choked. Although she was unwilling, she had to give face to the village chief.
Then, he looked at Lu Yan with displeasure again.
"Uncle Zhou, please help me keep an eye on the meat." Gu Linbei said, without lowering his voice, "Thank you to the villagers who came up the mountain to help me find someone today. I'll give each family three pounds of meat. As for the rest, please keep it for me, Uncle Zhou."
As soon as Gu Linbei finished speaking, a look of deep joy appeared on Village Chief Zhou's face.
Not to mention the villagers of Xiaohe Village, even he hadn't seen meat for a long time.
Now that I have such an opportunity, how can I not be happy?
"Okay, okay," Village Chief Zhou said, and then he couldn't help but glance at Lu Yan: "Old Five's family, don't be so reckless in the future."
Lu Yan had a heart attack after hearing what he said.
If they hadn't arrived quickly, her cute little piggies wouldn't have had to be separated.
Lu Yan thought so in his heart, but still agreed politely.
Village Chief Zhou's final gaze fell on Old Lady Gu's face. "Old sister-in-law, even though your six sons have already married, you can't force the new daughters-in-law like this! It's not good for the reputation of our Xiaohe Village."
After Village Chief Zhou finished speaking, he left with everyone.
Lu Yan stood behind Gu Linbei, and now she finally had time to move closer to Yu Nian.
"What's wrong?"
Yu Nian noticed her approaching and asked in a low voice.
"You didn't enter the space, did you? There's a wild boar inside that I didn't have time to deal with..." Lu Yan's voice was very soft, as if she was whispering.
But her actions caused Mrs. Gu to look at her several times.
Old Mrs. Gu's face was dark, and she couldn't help but ask, "You two seem to have a good relationship?"
Yu Nian was stunned and subconsciously walked to the side of Old Lady Gu.
Lu Yan looked at Old Lady Gu thoughtfully.
Perhaps she had caused too many troubles for Old Lady Gu today, so she looked down on her. Now she was trying to sow discord between her and Yu Nian.
Really...
The old woman is so bad!
Lu Yan was just thinking about it when she saw Gu Linbei approaching.
"My mother is like this, don't bother with her." Gu Linbei's voice was low, but Lu Yan could hear it clearly.
Lu Yan subconsciously turned her head to look at Gu Linbei, and said solemnly and seriously: "Gu Linbei, you are not the kind of person who is foolishly filial, right?"
Lu Yan is now anxious to confirm Gu Linbei's attitude towards the Gu family.
She didn't want to marry someone who was just sucking her blood.
Because if that happened, she would have to find a way to divorce Gu Linbei.
"It's not foolish filial piety." Gu Linbei saw Lu Yan's persistence in this issue, and finally had to answer her question directly.
Lu Yan paused and looked at Gu Linbei seriously.
"Then why were all the prey you hunted before theirs?"
Lu Yan asked a subconscious question, which made Gu Linbei stunned.
It seems that Lu Yan knows him very well.
Otherwise, such a question would not be asked.
After this thought came to his mind, Gu Linbei inexplicably felt better, and he looked at Lu Yan seriously.
The man put his hands on Lu Yan's shoulders, his expression serious and earnest.
At this moment, Lu Yan could only see her own reflection in his dark eyes.
For some reason, I felt Gu Linbei's serious attitude.
"Before, I didn't have my own little family, so naturally I never thought about these things! But now I have you, right?" Gu Linbei looked serious. When Lu Yan met his pair of dark and deep eyes, she felt her heartbeat quicken.
"You said that? What will you do if they come looking for you later?"
It’s not that Lu Yan is narrow-minded and can’t tolerate people from the Gu family.
In the original book, the deaths of the fifth and sixth wives of the Gu family were tragic. She didn't want to end up like that.
"I can ignore them!"
Gu Linbei said this seriously.
In fact, his feelings for the Gu family were not very deep. After all, Mrs. Gu's attitude towards him and the twins, Gu Laoliu, was not very good.
Everyone in the village gets married and has children when they are fifteen or sixteen years old.
When it came to Gu Linbei and Gu Linxuan, the two elders of the Gu family kept delaying. If Song Jiao'e hadn't wanted two maids when she came in, it wouldn't have been possible for Old Lady Gu to get along with them, killing two birds with one stone.
Being a maid during the day?
Being a daughter-in-law at night?
What a fucking dream!
"Okay." Lu Yan got a satisfactory answer and didn't intend to continue to pressure Gu Linbei: "Then I'll see how you perform from now on."
Words are not enough, even if the physical relationship is there.
But it was impossible for Lu Yan to believe Gu Linbei directly.
Hearing his wife say this, Gu Linbei finally breathed a sigh of relief. The two of them walked towards Gu's house, one in front and the other behind. As soon as they entered the door, they heard an unsociable voice.
"The meat must belong to our family. Why should we give three pounds to each of the people in the mountains?"
