Chapter 17 Let's just leave it at that.



Throughout the entire meal, Su Nianxue and Gu Yanbai focused solely on eating and didn't utter a single word.

Of course, the two children didn't say a word. There was meat to eat at home today, so what did these things have to do with them?

Besides, they don't understand the purchasing power of that money.

Finally, Su Jianguo couldn't stand it anymore and tapped his chopsticks on the bowl twice, saying, "Eat, eat."

Wang Lanhua finally calmed down, realizing that she had really lost face this time.

After finishing their meal and sitting for a while, Gu Yanbai took Su Nianxue back home.

On the way, the bicycle stopped. Gu Yanbai put one leg on the ground and turned around. "I'll take you to Siyuan Restaurant sometime."

His tone was very familiar, and Su Nianxue remembered that he was a regular there.

Even the last time she came to propose, she went to a restaurant to find him.

"No, I'm fine at home."

Besides, I feel my cooking skills are decent, so I won't waste money on that.

Siyuan Restaurant is the most prestigious restaurant in their town.

I heard that the chef there has a family recipe passed down through generations, and the food is delicious.

Of course, the price is also very high.

If anyone in the village goes to that restaurant and has a meal there, they'll brag about it for ages when they get back to the village.

"Don't you want to know what I do all day in town?" Gu Yanbai said quietly, a glint of light in his eyes.

Su Nianxue was taken aback. What could he possibly do in town?

It's nothing more than eating, drinking, playing cards, and bragging!

That's what all the idle people in the village do.

She thought for a moment, realizing that one shouldn't expose someone's shortcomings, and said, "Well, you go about your business, I won't interfere."

Of course, I can support myself, and I don't need you to take care of me.

"It's fine for us to live like this."

When she was in the Su family, she had already thought it through: it's really too difficult to change a person.

He's gotten used to this lifestyle. Didn't Grandpa, who raised him from childhood, change him?

She's just an ordinary person; why make herself uncomfortable?

Anyway, she had figured it out: wasn't Gu Yanbai unwilling to work?

Can't you see that the land at home is overgrown with weeds that are taller than the crops?

Let her do it then. As long as she manages the land well, she won't have to worry about food and drink.

It's good that the two of them can live together peacefully like this.

"Aren't you going to take care of me?"

You don't need me to take care of you?

Su Nianxue, do you know what you're saying?

We are a lawfully wedded couple!

What couple lives like this?

Gu Yanbai chuckled coldly twice, then suddenly turned around and looked at her with a gloomy expression.

Seeing his expression, Su Nianxue wisely kept her mouth shut. After all, if he got angry, the more she said, the more mistakes she would make.

She figured it couldn't be wrong to keep quiet, could it?

Seeing that she remained silent, Gu Yanbai became even angrier. "Get down."

"Huh?" Su Nianxue looked confused, but still subconsciously jumped off the bicycle.

Gu Yanbai made a sharp turn, the bicycle turned around, and with a push of his legs, the bicycle headed towards the town, leaving her with only a stubborn back view.

Su Nianxue watched his retreating figure, her eyes growing deeper.

But she quickly reverted to her previous demeanor, turned around, and slowly walked home.

She glanced at the wheat seedlings in the field; they had already begun to sprout ears, and it would be time to harvest them in a few days.

I wonder what the Gu family grows in their fields. I'll have to go check on them tomorrow.

When she got home, no one was home; Gu Yanliu must have gone out to play.

She went into the room to change out of her new clothes and put on the old clothes she usually wore for work.

A short while later, Gu Yanliu returned, carrying a basket. "Sister-in-law, you're back? Oh, where's my brother?"

"He went to town. By the way, what are you carrying?" she asked, glancing at the basket in Gu Yanliu's hand.

"It's a nectarine!"

"Grandpa's nectarines are ripe, so I went to the field and picked some. I was thinking of giving some to my sister." Her little face was flushed, and you could tell she was walking in a hurry.

Gu Yanhe, the eldest sister of the Gu family, married into Baihua Village, which is next to Hongxi Village, and already has a son and a daughter.

At the last wedding, Gu Yanhe brought her husband and children.

However, Su Nianxue only gave her a brief greeting.

The Gu family has four children in this generation. Why did I only hear her mention her older sister Gu Yanhe, but not her older brother Gu Yansong?

Moreover, judging from what she said last time, the sisters seem to have a pretty good relationship!

She asked, "Aren't you going to help your older brother deliver some?"

Gu Yanliu paused in her sorting of peaches, even stopping the little tune she was humming, and her expression immediately fell.

"No need, if you want it, you'll come back and get it yourself."

"oh!"

She picked out half of the peaches from the basket. "Sister-in-law, you can keep these for yourself. The peaches Grandpa grows are very sweet."

"By the way, do you want to come along?"

Su Nianxue shook her head. "Forget it, I won't go. I'm tired today and want to rest for a while."

"Okay, then you can rest at home! I'm leaving now." Gu Yanliu picked up the peaches and left in a hurry.

Su Nianxue took a peach from the basket, washed it, and sat down under the pomegranate tree in the yard to eat it.

The weather is getting warmer now.

The pomegranate tree in the yard is lush and leafy, with bright red pomegranate flowers, like little bells, hidden among the green leaves, which is quite beautiful.

A fluffy little head peeked out from outside the gate, glanced at Su Nianxue, and quickly withdrew its head.
