"I'm fine." Zhou Huiyu shook her head and said, "It's just that the look my sister-in-law gave me just now... I felt like she wanted to poke a hole in my stomach. You know her, she's not very smart, and I'm afraid she might suddenly lose her temper and act recklessly. After all, she's also a member of the Bai family."
"So what if she's from the Bai family? Her father is Second Master Bai, not the head of the Bai family. I'm hesitant to act against Gu Shaozong, but I won't be lenient with the Bai family." Gu Shaoyong said dismissively, but then couldn't help hug Zhou Huiyu, saying, "I'm sorry, Huiyu, if it were my heart..."
Before Gu Shaoyong could finish speaking, Zhou Huiyu shook her head and said, "If you were any more hard-hearted, you wouldn't be Gu Shaoyong."
"Thank you, Huiyu." Gu Shaoyong hugged Zhou Huiyu tightly and murmured softly.
"Nonsense." Zhou Huiyu gently nuzzled her head against Gu Shaoyong's neck, then promptly pushed him away. Meeting Gu Shaoyong's slightly puzzled gaze, Zhou Huiyu said, "If they only want to do something to me, I can accept your passive defense of dealing with whatever comes your way. But if they..."
"In short, you know that if she loses even a single hair, and you still have a soft heart... Gu Shaoyong, even if you find a hundred or eighty people to follow me day and night, I will do things that you will regret for the rest of your life."
At this point, Zhou Huiyu slightly raised her chin and continued, "Anyway, I'm only threatening you like this because I know you like me. Whether you accept it or not is up to you."
Without a second thought, Gu Shaoyong said directly, "Of course I accept. She is your bottom line, and she is also my bottom line."
What is Yunduo, whom Zhou Huiyu and Gu Shaoyong called the 'bottom line', doing right now?
She was staring at two huge piles of New Year's goods.
She was mentally prepared for her adoptive parents to bring back a lot of New Year's goods for her. In fact, she had already picked out the items once before bringing them home. She only picked out about one or two tenths of the items to take home, and left the rest for Gu Wu and the others.
After all, even though Gu Wu and the others are here to protect her safety, she still needs to celebrate the New Year. The things she buys herself and the New Year's goods prepared by her master are always different in meaning.
In other words, Gu Shaoyong and Zhou Huiyu brought back a lot of things for Yun Duo, but she didn't actually take much home. Even so, the three of them couldn't finish eating it all in a short time.
But... what are the county magistrate and Leopard Master planning to do, each sending a whole truckload of New Year's gifts?
Yunduo squatted in front of the New Year's goods, clutching her head, her head throbbing with pain.
County Magistrate Cao Limin delivered New Year's gifts, saying they were on behalf of Li Cheng, the "little benefactor" from six months ago. Part of the gifts were mailed to the county town by 'Li Cheng' through the post office, and then 'asked' Cao Limin to bring them over. This part mainly consisted of rare little things, such as imported chocolates, candies, dried fruits, various kinds of dried meat and seafood—all food items, and seemed quite substantial. No wonder he'd been 'starving' for two months in the countryside.
He also sent some money, all of which was his own saved pocket money. It wasn't much, but he had Cao Limin "help" him buy grain, cloth, meat, and oil, and the quantities were quite generous.
In addition, Cao Limin also "casually" added "a few" "extra local specialties given by others", thus filling a truck.
