"But you shamelessly clung to the Yu family, do you think I can't see through your little schemes? Let me tell you, my eyes are like a ruler, I can see right through you!"
Gu Guanhai: ...
His mother had seen through his intentions, so he had no way to argue.
He wiped his face and said, "Since you've figured it out, Mother, then let me go quickly, don't delay my pursuit of a wife!"
"You really have the nerve to say that!"
Upon hearing this, Old Lady Gu glared at her and said, "Why don't you take a piss and look at yourself in the mirror? Yu Zhiqing is such a talented person, and she has even been commended by her superiors. Do you think you are good enough for her?"
Gu Guanhai frowned upon hearing this.
"How did you know that she received commendation from her superiors, Mother?"
The woman didn't mention it at all. He only found out about it by calling Beijing. Where did his mother get the news from?
Old Mrs. Gu rolled her eyes at him and snorted coldly, "It's all over the village. Lots of people went to her house to see the leader's handwritten note. Even the neighboring village was alarmed. How could I not know about something this big? I..."
She was about to say that she had also gone to peek, and after seeing Yu Zhiqing's appearance, she realized that her son's intentions were impure, which was why he had come to the village entrance to intercept him, but...
She was interrupted by her son before she could finish speaking.
"Mom, I have something to do, I have to go now!"
Gu Guanhai broke free from his mother's grasp and ran towards the village entrance.
"Hey? You little bastard..."
Grandma Gu stomped her feet in anger as she watched her son's departing figure.
A large crowd gathered in the courtyard at the entrance of the village.
Yu Mingxiang was dealing with the visitors in a state of panic, and she could barely maintain her polite smile.
God knows, the front door was banged on loudly early in the morning, and when she opened it, a large group of people rushed in, shouting that they wanted to see the leader's handwritten document. She...
How bewildered they were!
As a newcomer, she couldn't turn people away, but she was also afraid they would damage the leader's handwritten note, so she could only carefully serve them from the side.
But these people kept coming in waves, chattering away and asking all sorts of questions, never stopping...
She was exhausted from dealing with it all, and her lips were practically dry from talking.
"It's getting late, you..."
Unable to withstand the pressure any longer, Yu Mingxiang decided to risk offending them and asked them to leave, but...
She then spoke.
What are you all doing crammed here?
A deep, resonant shout came from the doorway.
Gu Guanhai strode over, looked around, and scolded with a dark face, "It's time to go to work! Are you waiting for food to fall from the sky instead of going to work in the fields?"
Even though he hadn't shaved last night, his stubble and broad shoulders made him look intimidating.
The villagers were all startled by his shout.
Only the old village chief, standing in the crowd, couldn't help but mutter, "Food doesn't fall from the sky, so why can't it just fall from the sky..."
More than ten years ago, during the great famine, the village ran out of food. It was this fellow Guan Hai who brought in grain from outside that helped the whole village survive the famine. But only he knew about this; even Guan Hai's mother didn't know about Mao Ying'er...
What are you still standing there for?
Hearing the old village chief's cricket chirping, Gu Guanhai growled at the old village chief who was leading the truancy, "Get out of here now!"
Old village chief: "!!"
They weren't angry at being yelled at, and hurriedly said, "Get out, get out, we're leaving right now!"
As he spoke, he hurriedly called to everyone, "Hurry up, don't wait until this guy loses his temper. Have you all forgotten how he beat Zhao Tiezhu so badly that he couldn't get out of bed for three days when he got angry?"
Upon hearing this, everyone scattered in terror.
Yu Mingxiang: ...
Watching the crowd disperse, he exchanged bewildered glances with the children, let out a long sigh of relief, and then…
He turned to look at Gu Guanhai and asked, "You hit Zhao Tiezhu? Why?"
Zhao Tiezhu is her daughter's adoptive father!
"For no reason!"
Gu Guanhai glanced at her and said, "He deserves a beating!"
He hit Zhao Tiezhu because Zhao Tiezhu was not behaving like a father, abusing his daughter, which he couldn't stand, but...
