She knew that Gu Yanliu must have gotten up to cook.
She quickly put down her things and hurried into the kitchen.
"Yanliu, aren't you feeling unwell? Why don't you sleep a little longer?"
Gu Yanliu: "Sister-in-law, I'm fine now. I've felt much better after a good night's sleep. By the way, why are you so late getting back today?"
"Don't even mention it, I ran into a madman today!" Su Nianxue didn't want to talk about this upsetting thing anymore.
She made up her mind that when Gu Yanbai returned, she would definitely settle accounts with him properly.
After all, he was the one who brought this unwanted romantic attention back.
"How come I didn't know there were crazy people in the market?"
"By the way, sister-in-law, are you hurt?" Gu Yanbai stood up from the stool in surprise.
Su Nianxue shook her head. "No."
She took out the medicine she had bought in town and handed it to her, saying, "Take this medicine after you eat."
"Okay!" Gu Yanliu took the medicine from her hand and put it aside.
"Sister-in-law, why has my brother been gone for so long this time?"
"I don't know. He only said he was going on a long trip, but he didn't say what he was going to do."
I used to complain about his sharp tongue and nasty face when he was home, but now that he's not home, it feels strangely lonely.
A few more days passed, and before we knew it, it was market day again.
Su Nianxue kept glancing towards the intersection, wondering if that person would come back today.
"Sister-in-law, what are you looking at?" Gu Yanliu asked curiously when she saw her staring at the roadside.
"It's nothing, I was just looking around!" Su Nianxue quickly looked away.
Gu Yanliu's eyes darted around, and she gave a mischievous smile. "Sister-in-law, I know you're waiting for my brother!"
"That's not true, why are you talking nonsense?" Su Nianxue looked at her reproachfully.
"Sister-in-law, it's okay if you admit it, I won't laugh at you."
Actually, I miss my brother. I don't know why he's been gone for so long this time. Gu Yanliu's lips curved into a smile, and her voice was very clear.
"Achoo, achoo..." Gu Yanbai sneezed several times before finally stopping.
"Yanbai, it seems someone misses you!" someone in the group joked.
"Of course, it's because my wife misses me."
Unlike you lot, who went on a long trip and didn't even have anyone to talk to.
Gu Yanbai looked smug, and his cheerful voice carried far.
The two people traveling with him curled their lip in disdain. "Showing off? This is blatant showing off!"
"How come I never noticed before that you love to show off so much?"
He takes every opportunity to talk about your wife, as if he has one!
………
Zhou Mingjie, who was standing to the side, unusually did not join in the commotion and looked preoccupied.
"Mingjie, you're getting married soon, why do you look so sad?"
Shouldn't the bride be happy?
Look at that kid Yanbai, his face is practically beaming like an old chrysanthemum.
"Go away, go away, I don't have time to chat with you." Zhou Mingjie looked impatient, showing no joy whatsoever from his newlywed life.
After everyone left, Gu Yanbai said, "Alright, stop looking so long-faced."
You must be tired lately, go back and rest first!
Tomorrow, we'll come over and tidy up the house for you, so it'll look nicer at the wedding.
Zhou Mingjie didn't care at all. "What's there to pack up? These are my conditions. She can marry me or not, it's up to her."
Gu Yanbai disagreed, "What nonsense are you talking about?"
Marriage is a once-in-a-lifetime event; how can it be so hasty?
"Yanbai, you know how I got this wife."
"Do you think I can be happy to accept this marriage?" Zhou Mingjie scratched his hair in frustration.
He's getting an extra wife out of nowhere, and he's getting really annoyed.
Gu Yanbai glanced at him sideways, "Who told you to be unable to control your mouth? Unable to control your lower body!"
Zhou Mingjie cried out with a wronged expression, "I didn't, I really didn't do anything!"
It's the Yang family trying to extort money from us!
I just went to the wrong room when I got up at night and ended up sleeping in her bed.
I swear I really didn't do anything, I'm so wronged!
That day, a close friend of mine got married, and he drank a few extra glasses of wine because he was so happy.
Then Yang Tianbao suggested that we go to his house to sleep, since it wouldn't be convenient to go back to town drunk.
He agreed without really understanding what was going on.
Who knew that when she woke up, she would be lying in Yang Tianbao's sister's bed.
There was nothing he didn't understand; he had simply gone to the wrong room when he got up to use the bathroom at night.
Gu Yanbai showed him no sympathy whatsoever. "You still have the nerve to cry foul?"
You went to a woman's room in the dead of night and even got into her bed in the dark.
You ruined that girl's reputation; it's already a miracle she didn't sue you for indecent assault.
I've told him so many times to drink less when he's out, but he just won't listen!
Now that something's happened, who can we blame?
Zhou Mingjie's eyes darted around, and he stammered, "But... you know I have no intention of getting married in this lifetime."
He's suddenly getting married, and to a woman he's never even met before.
The thought of it made him extremely irritable.
"Originally, only their family members knew about this."
I was thinking of giving their family a large sum of hush money to compensate the girl for her losses.
Anyway, she wasn't really harmed, so she can still get married in the future.
But who knew their family would be so stubborn, insisting that I marry her.
Zhou Mingjie was full of complaints, his tone tinged with guilt, resentment, and confusion.
