Chapter 208 The Truth Hurts



If you have money, you can't be greedy?

What kind of brain-dead talk is this?

Lu Huaijiao ignored 998 and didn't even want to explain to it that no human would think they had too much money.

No one else would have such a foolish idea, and Lu Huaijiao certainly wouldn't.

If he truly disliked money, then Gu Changzheng wouldn't have risked his life running long distances in his past life, only to end up with a basket of blood-stained money...

Now that she has so many small yellow croakers, Gu Changzheng will have capital to start a business, and he won't have to risk traveling long distances.

Such a profound matter is beyond 998's comprehension, and Lu Huaijiao will not explain it either.

'So it was because of him? And you said you didn't like him? I think you like him terribly, host.' 998 understood Lu Huaijiao's thoughts and said sourly in her mind.

Lu Huaijiao let out a soft "uh".

'Are you spying on my thoughts?'

998 was about to explain when Lu Huaijiao, enraged, blocked him with a snap.

Thank goodness, it's just a blockade, preventing it from sensing the outside world and Lu Huaijiao's thoughts, rather than locking it in a dark room. 998 felt somewhat relieved.

But after it was relieved, it came to its senses and realized that something was wrong. It was a system, after all. When did it become led by the nose by humans like this, and even feel a little satisfied?

998 is frustrated!

…………

Lu Huaijiao surfaced from the water, and Gu Changzheng, who was waiting on the shore, quickly came over and reached out to pull her up.

"How is my wife? Is she feeling unwell?"

Although Lu Huaijiao's complexion was rosy and her skin glowed slightly under the light, Gu Changzheng was so concerned that he was afraid she was uncomfortable.

Lu Huaijiao shook her head.

"I'm fine, I've taken the things out."

As she spoke, she wanted to take it out and show it to Gu Changzheng.

Gu Changzheng quickly pressed her hand down.

"Let's go home first."

His tone was a little off.

Lu Huaijiao looked at him suspiciously.

Gu Changzheng coughed and spoke somewhat awkwardly.

"Second Brother and that woman are rolling around in the bamboo forest again." It's not good to take the things out now. If they see them, things could get complicated.

Lu Huaijiao blinked.

"No, do they really like this place that much?"

As she spoke, she looked up at the thick, dense bamboo forest around her, and thinking about the thick layer of bamboo leaves that had fallen beneath the bamboo, she nodded involuntarily.

"I understand. Maybe it's because this area is soft, making it feel especially comfortable to do that."

Gu Changzheng: !!!

What shocking thing did his darling say?

Could it be that I caught it from myself?

Gu Changzheng lowered his eyes, looking at the girl who was as beautiful as a lotus emerging from the water and incredibly alluring, speaking such shocking words with utter innocence. For a moment, his blood rushed to his head, and he felt as if the blood in his body was about to ignite.

He picked up a piece of clothing from the side and draped it over her, then put his arm around her and walked home from the other side.

Gu Changqing and that female educated youth were having a passionate encounter upstairs, and Gu Changzheng didn't want to be a bystander any longer.

Moreover, he didn't want anyone else to see his wife looking like this, having just come out of the water.

The couple took a detour to get home.

Gu Changzheng promptly fetched hot water and carried it to the wooden tub in the room for her to take a bath first. He then quickly wiped himself down and went to cook.

There was a knock on the small door connecting to He Meizhu's side. Gu Changzheng put down the firewood in his hand, stood up and went over to speak.

"Mom, what's wrong?"

Seeing He Meizhu standing behind the door, Gu Changzheng spoke first to inquire.

He Meizhu didn't mince words and asked, "Have you seen your second brother? He's already off work, why hasn't he come back yet? Jin Dan and Bao Dan, the two kids, just ran over saying they're hungry."

Although He Meizhu didn't give the two children any food before calling them away, she still wanted to ask Gu Changzheng a question when she turned her back to them.

Let's see where Gu Changqing has run off to.

Why aren't you home cooking for the kids at this hour?

Gu Changzheng: ...

Just as he was wondering how to start the conversation, Lu Huaijiao, who had just come out of the shower, was wearing loose clothes and drying her hair with a towel as she walked towards him.

"Second brother is rolling around in the bamboo forest with a woman. Mom, wait for him, he should be back when he's done."

She spoke in that innocent and pure voice.

He Meizhu's face changed instantly.

I was completely shocked.

Gu Changzheng raised his hand and pinched his brow, then turned around to take the towel from Lu Huaijiao's hand and began to dry her hair.

"Why are you washing your hair again?"

He neither explained nor denied what Lu Huaijiao had just said, which meant that Gu Changqing really had been rolling around in the bamboo forest with that wild woman.

He Meizhu was dumbfounded.

"Changqing...he...how could he..."

She still found it hard to believe that her usually honest, taciturn second son, who was always ridden on by Xu Honglian, would actually be rolling around with a woman in the bamboo forest outside.

Yes, even mothers find it hard to accept this reality.

Lu Huaijiao tilted her head, looking at Gu Changzheng with a puzzled expression.

I don't know if I said something wrong.

Gu Changzheng pinched her cheek, then looked up at He Meizhu and said, "Mom, Jiaojiao is right. Second brother has been entangled with those people outside for several years now."

On the surface, Gu Changqing appears to be the most useless of all the children in the Gu family, but in reality, he has had affairs with several widows in the village.

Besides those widows, there's also Miao Yuan, the female educated youth who's been sent to the countryside for several years, who's with him now.
