Should I thank him? Or should I marry him?
What do you think, Jiaojiao?
Gu Changzheng couldn't distract Lu Huaijiao, so he had no choice but to join her in her curiosity and become her 'teammate'.
Lu Huaijiao certainly wouldn't miss the chance to discuss 'gossip' with someone.
She thought for a moment, then said with great distress, "If it were me, I would choose the most convenient method."
"Um?"
"She must have married him, huh? What 'huh'?" Lu Huaijiao rolled her eyes at Gu Changzheng with disgust, feeling that her man really didn't seem very smart.
Gu Changzheng: ...
He could only adopt a posture of being willing to listen to details and heed his wife's advice.
Lu Huaijiao did not disappoint Gu Changzheng. She would never refuse her man's earnest request for advice and would teach him everything without reservation.
“You see, if you express your gratitude with gifts, you'll lose money and tickets, and you'll have to clarify the relationship between the two of you, right? But it's different if you offer yourself in return.”
"Not only did I save money, but I also gained a husband and the economic benefits he brought me. I went from being a small beneficiary to a big beneficiary."
Why not do it?
Lu Huaijiao felt that any girl who truly had feelings for the other person would definitely choose the option she had chosen. Because it really was such a good deal!
Gu Changzheng: ...
Unexpectedly, his wife, who seemed silly on the surface, was actually quite shrewd.
"So, you marry me with the same idea in mind?"
"Nonsense, isn't that obvious?" Lu Huaijiao looked at the man beside her with disdain, marveling at his dullness.
"If I weren't after what I could use about you, what benefits you could bring me, why would I marry you? I'm not stupid."
That sounds really cruel!
Fortunately, Gu Changzheng had a strong mental fortitude, so after hearing this, he asked another question: "Then what does Jiaojiao think I am worth using?"
"Um?"
Lu Huaijiao tilted her head and looked at Gu Changzheng: "Your appearance is alright? Although you're a bit dirty, your features are good, and your height is also acceptable. You won't have to worry about your descendants being short or ugly?"
Gu Changzheng: ...
He tried hard to remind himself that he shouldn't stoop to Lu Huaijiao's level, but after reminding himself repeatedly, he couldn't help himself.
"So, if there were a man with the same qualifications, would you choose him?"
"No way, why would that be?" Lu Huaijiao asked suspiciously. "Those who are prettier than you aren't people I've known since childhood. And those who have known me since childhood can't come to the village to help me with chores. And those who help me with chores in the village aren't as pretty as you..."
So after going around in circles, Gu Changzheng became Lu Huaijiao's only choice?
Despite the harsh truth, Gu Changzheng snorted and his thin lips curled up slightly.
Sure enough, when his wife first came to the countryside, his shameless attempts to help with the chores paid off. He successfully made a lasting impression on her.
"No, honey, you thought I was pretty even when I was little?"
Gu Changzheng was secretly delighted and began to lose his bearings.
"No, when you were little you were ugly and skinny like a monkey. The first thing I thought when I saw you was that the husband I would marry in the future could never be like a monkey."
Lu Huaijiao is someone who values the appearance of her offspring very much; she's genuinely afraid of giving birth to a litter of monkeys.
Gu Changzheng: ...
Gradually, I realized something: avoid chatting with Lu Huaijiao unless absolutely necessary. Trying to get sweet talk from her? You're dreaming!
That little mouth of hers keeps babbling away, and every word she utters is poison!
Gu Changzheng was inwardly cursing Lu Huaijiao when she realized that Lu Huaijiao had already left to find Huang Tingxiu.
The man, regaining his senses: ...
When Huang Tingxiu was first protected by Gu Tiezhu, her heart was pounding. Especially when Gu Tiezhu kicked away Xu Laowu, who was trying to molest her, Huang Tingxiu felt as if she had seen a romantic hero from Shakespeare's poems.
No young girl is immune to romantic feelings.
Huang Tingxiu is the same.
Her heart was pounding. After hastily thanking Gu Tiezhu, Huang Tingxiu walked towards the educated youth settlement in a daze.
“Tingxiu…”
Lu Huaijiao stepped forward and called out to Huang Tingxiu.
Huang Tingxiu raised her head, her cheeks still flushed, and smiled when she saw Lu Huaijiao.
"Huaijiao, haven't you gone back yet?"
She hadn't seen Lu Huaijiao earlier and assumed she had gone back with Gu Changzheng.
"By the way, where's Gu Changzheng? This place is a mess. Did he leave you all alone?" Huang Tingxiu considered Lu Huaijiao a friend and was concerned about her situation.
Lu Huaijiao shook her head.
"He went to find Brother Tiezhu."
Huang Tingxiu, who had just forced herself not to think about Gu Tiezhu, blushed for no reason after hearing the name.
Seeing this, Lu Huaijiao clicked her tongue twice and exclaimed, "Tingxiu, do I have a chance to call you sister-in-law?"
Huang Ting's face went viral!
It really did turn incredibly red in an instant, visible to the naked eye.
Faced with Lu Huaijiao's innocent gaze, Huang Tingxiu was so embarrassed that she wanted to dig a hole and bury herself on the spot.
"Huaijiao, don't...don't talk nonsense. This kind of feeling...feeling isn't something that can be...made...by one's own wishes..."
Her liking for Gu Tiezhu, that simpleton, had no effect whatsoever.
He has to like me too...
