After Gu Changzheng finished speaking, he glanced at Xu Honglian, who was standing there completely stunned, and expressionlessly pulled Lu Huaijiao into the house.
He didn't even consider the impact his words would have on Xu Honglian.
Isn't it true that my second brother can't control the people around him?
Then let Xu Honglian turn her attention to her man.
With things to do, she didn't have as much time to keep an eye on them.
As expected, things turned out pretty much as Gu Changzheng had predicted.
After they went inside, Xu Honglian stood there for a while, her mind not filled with hatred for Lu Huaijiao, but with Gu Changzheng's last words.
Keep your man in check...
otherwise…
Xu Honglian is a person who is very good at making connections, or rather, she is very prone to being suspicious. Sometimes, she doesn't need to be told anything; just give her some ambiguous information and she will make her own connections.
After regaining her senses, Xu Honglian wiped the sticky paint off her face and turned to walk out of the yard.
Liu Chun glanced at it and quickly stepped forward.
"Second Aunt, where are you going? Aren't you going to cook?"
Xu Honglian was stopped and looked at Liu Chun.
"Sister-in-law."
"W-what's wrong?"
This was the first time Xu Honglian had seriously called him "sister-in-law," and Liu Chun was a little uncomfortable and hesitant to respond.
Xu Honglian suddenly grabbed Liu Chun's shoulders with both hands and shook him violently: "What Gu Changzheng said means that Gu Changqing is having an affair, right?"
"Is it with that shameless educated youth, or that widow Hu at the end of the village? Or that vixen next door?"
Liu Chun was a little dazed by the shaking.
I have absolutely no idea what Xu Honglian is talking about!
And didn't Er Ya's fourth uncle just say that her second uncle was bad?
Liu Chun didn't know.
"Her third aunt, her third aunt..."
Feeling dizzy and nauseous from being shaken, Liu Chun reached out to Li Cuihua, who was standing to the side, for help.
Li Cuihua looked around, and finally came over to help Liu Chun leave Xu Honglian's grasp.
The two sisters-in-law stepped aside, watching Xu Honglian with some wariness in their eyes. In their view, Xu Honglian was not acting normally.
Xu Honglian, however, interpreted it in a different way.
Everyone in the Gu family surely knows that Gu Changqing is seeing other women. That's why the Gu family members don't consider themselves part of the family.
My mother-in-law treats me badly, my husband is indifferent to me, my son is disrespectful to me, and my brothers and sisters-in-law all treat me coldly...
This must be because they all knew that Gu Changqing had a mistress outside.
Enraged by her own thoughts, Xu Honglian turned around, grabbed a stick, and stormed out of the courtyard without a word.
The gate to the Gu family's courtyard was slammed shut with a loud bang.
Lu Huaijiao leaned against the window of the room and opened the window a small crack to look outside.
She was in high spirits at the moment, completely forgetting the pain in her back.
"Gu Changzheng, she really went to find my second brother. Will they end up fighting?"
Lu Huaijiao thought Gu Changzheng was quite bad.
He deliberately said those words to make Xu Honglian misunderstand and to sow discord between the couple...
Gu Changzheng, who was sitting to the side drawing, raised his eyelids when he heard Lu Huaijiao's words, and his thin lips curled into a cold arc.
"I did not wrong him."
"Huh?" Lu Huaijiao sensed the gossip. She closed the window, leaned against Gu Changzheng's shoulder, and looked like she had no bones.
"So it's true? Second Brother really is seeing another woman? Who is it? Tell me quickly."
She was very interested, and her eyes lit up.
Gu Changzheng frowned almost imperceptibly, glancing down at the small face resting on his shoulder. She leaned limply against his arm.
He could clearly feel her softness.
"Are you so interested in other people's affairs?"
"Is that someone else? Isn't that your second brother?" Lu Huaijiao frowned and looked down on Gu Changzheng. "I'm just curious, how could your second brother, who seems like such an honest man, do something like this?"
"If this gets discovered, won't he ruin his reputation?"
It's only 1975 now!
The outside world is very strict about relationships between men and women.
If Gu Changqing were to actually be having an affair with another woman, that would be blatantly defying the law!
Regardless of whether Gu Changqing's actions were right or wrong, just considering his 'courage,' he was absolutely fearless.
Lu Huaijiao clicked her tongue in amazement.
Looking at the admiration written on her small face, Gu Changzheng couldn't help but chuckle.
"Is this something to admire?"
"They're fearless and incredibly brave; they definitely deserve our respect."
Lu Huaijiao answered as if it were the most natural thing in the world.
After saying that, she lost interest in the matter, got up, walked to the bedside, took off her coat, and lay down on the bed to sleep.
It's as if she wasn't the one who was so enthusiastic just a second ago.
She truly cannot be understood using the mindset of a normal person.
Before long, Lu Huaijiao fell asleep.
Gu Changzheng waited until she was completely asleep before going out to work.
He went to the field to find Gu Jianhua. After the father and son chatted for a while, Gu Changzheng left. Soon after, he found someone to haul a truckload of bricks back home.
He found a few quick-witted young men in the village who were also good friends with him, and they carried the bricks to the yard and began to build a wall along the edge of the well.
He wanted to completely enclose his and Lu Huaijiao's house within the Gu family's compound.
