The old man smiled and said, "It's alright, Grandpa knows what he's doing!"
You're just a young girl, don't worry about your grandfather's affairs. Just focus on your own things.
Also, your second sister-in-law is currently unwell, so you'd better be more diligent.
Alright, I've kept you occupied for so long, you should go home now and help out at home.
Gu Yanliu glanced at the sky and smiled lightly, "Okay, then I'll head back first! I'll make you some tofu pudding later."
When Gu Yanliu arrived home, the millstone inside was already making a hissing sound.
She laughed and said, "Brother, sister-in-law, why didn't you say you'd wait for me? Let me do it."
"It's okay, we're just killing time anyway."
"Didn't your brother say you were talking to Grandpa? How come you're back so soon?" Su Nianxue said, feeding another spoonful of beans into the millstone.
"Oh, Grandpa sent me back to work." She took the wooden bucket from Su Nianxue's hand.
He then pushed her aside, saying, "Sister-in-law, go and rest for a while."
If Grandpa finds out I'm just talking and not doing any work, he might beat me again!
"How could that be? Grandpa isn't an unreasonable old-fashioned man, he wouldn't hit people randomly." Su Nianxue smiled and tapped her forehead.
“That’s right.” Gu Yanliu felt very confident when she thought of the old man.
"Sister-in-law, you don't know, Grandpa was so impressive today."
"Then tell me about it. Your brother is so boring. He didn't tell me anything when he came back." She gave Gu Yanbai a dissatisfied look.
She had been waiting for them at home.
As it turned out, someone was the first to return, but when faced with her expectant gaze, he simply said, "It's all resolved."
And then... that was it. They just went back to work without a care in the world.
Gu Yanbai sighed helplessly. How could he, a grown man, be like them, gossiping all the time?
Besides, isn't it enough that the matter is resolved? The process isn't that important.
"Okay, you should talk to your sister-in-law about it, so she won't be upset and take it out on me again."
Su Nianxue was displeased. "Gu Yanbai, explain yourself clearly. Am I such an unreasonable person?"
Gu Yanbai glanced at her sideways. "What do you think?"
"I'm not." She shook her head firmly.
"Yes, I...believe." But in just a moment, he went back to his own business.
"What kind of attitude is that! Honestly." Su Nianxue was somewhat dissatisfied with his perfunctory attitude.
Gu Yanbai raised his head and said, "One tells you stories to keep you entertained, and the other works as your farmhand to earn money. What more could your great-aunt possibly want?"
Tell me, and maybe... I can improve it again?
Su Nianxue burst out laughing, "A long-term worker, my foot! What long-term worker looks like you?"
Gu Yanbai: "What's wrong with me? What's wrong with my appearance that doesn't suit your taste?"
And besides, when have I ever failed to serve your great-aunt well? Tell me!
She looked him over carefully, rested her chin on her hand, and gave her opinion, "His looks... are quite to my liking."
He's always swearing, which isn't good, and..."
"Just say it all in one breath. I don't have the patience to play guessing games with you." He bantered with her while working.
"See? See? You have no patience at all. You start cursing at the slightest disagreement. What landlord or rich man would want a farmhand like you?"
"It's only because I'm kind-hearted that I took you in." Su Nianxue looked at him smugly.
Gu Yanbai scoffed, "Su Nianxue, you should be grateful. I'm just a farmhand in front of you."
"Try it on someone else. If they dare to treat me like a farmhand, see how I deal with them!"
Su Nianxue: "Yes, yes, you're the best."
You are the mighty Boss Gu, how could you become someone else's long-term laborer?
"I should be sincerely grateful for your help, how could I possibly find fault with you?"
Gu Yanbai's lips curled up slightly, a hint of amusement flickering in his eyes. "There's something wrong with what you're saying."
"What's wrong?"
"From what you're saying, it seems you have a lot of opinions, but you're just too embarrassed to say them."
"Su Nianxue, I must say, you've become quite cunning these days! Are you trying to figure me out?" He lowered his eyes slightly, glancing at her sideways.
"Really? Liu'er, did your sister-in-law say that?" Su Nianxue denied it to the death.
"I didn't hear anything," Gu Yanliu said loudly without looking up.
"Gu Yanliu, you're really something! You're blatantly taking sides!" Gu Yanbai was so angry at their back-and-forth that he laughed.
"Brother, really, no, the millstone was just too loud, I didn't hear it clearly." Gu Yanliu grinned foolishly at him.
"Then how come you can hear so clearly now?"
"I'm focusing on listening now, hehe."
Su Nianxue sat on the chair next to her, smiling gently.
Seeing Gu Yanbai's discomfiture, she couldn't hold back any longer, and soon her laughter echoed throughout the farmhouse courtyard.
"Fine, you two can keep making me angry. I'll put up with it for now. I'll settle the score with you later." He pointed to her lower abdomen.
Su Nianxue raised an eyebrow, showing no fear of him whatsoever. "I usually settle scores on the spot. Hesitating for even a second is disrespectful to my enemy."
Gu Yanbai………
He gritted his teeth, looking too smug. "Su Nianxue, let me tell you, don't think you can act like a tyrant just because you have a protective charm."
You need to think this through carefully; that amulet won't protect you for a lifetime.
"I'm short-sighted and can't think that far ahead."
Only focus on today's tasks, finish them today, and leave tomorrow's tasks for tomorrow!
Moreover, I have a terrible memory; I forget many things in no time. She picked up her water glass and leisurely took a sip of chrysanthemum tea.
"Coincidentally, I have a very good memory, and I've always believed that a gentleman's revenge is never too late, even after ten months." He emphasized the words "ten months" very much.
Su Nianxue rubbed her lower abdomen and blinked innocently, "I'm not well-educated, I don't understand what you're saying!"
"Hehe." A clear smile appeared in Gu Yanbai's eyes; she was being shameless again.
Su Nianxue shouted at Gu Yanliu, "Yanliu, tell me how you caused such a scene at the Liu family."
Gu Yanliu cleared his throat and, with clear logic and articulate pronunciation, recounted the whole story to her.
"Oh no," she said. "Sister-in-law, you didn't see it. Grandpa was really something today."
With him around, we didn't have a chance to speak at all.
Before we could even react, the Liu family had already signed and fingerprinted the agreement.
"Grandpa was amazing. I wish I had been there too," Su Nianxue exclaimed.
"What do you think this is? Why do you want to get involved in every little thing?" Gu Yanbai couldn't help but ask.
"I was just saying, do you really think I'd go?" She rolled her eyes at him.
