"hehe!"
Seeing this, Gu Guanhai chuckled and said, "I'll make it up to you later. Your family has been in the countryside for a while now, and you should have eaten most of what you brought. I won't take advantage of you."
He was reminding her to restock when necessary!
Even if it's just to go to town and make a show of it, at least do something!
Otherwise, if this continues, even the three slow-witted little ones in the house will eventually discover that there's an endless supply of food and meat in the kitchen!
Upon hearing this, Yu Mingxiang exclaimed, "!!!"
Alarm bells rang in my heart.
She carefully observed Gu Guanhai's expression, afraid that he would notice something unusual.
However, under her gaze, Gu Guanhai remained calm, as if he had just said it casually...
Yu Mingxiang breathed a sigh of relief without making it obvious, and said casually, "We've almost finished eating. Judging by the time, the things we sent before we went to the countryside should arrive soon. Don't worry, you won't go hungry."
Gu Guanhai chuckled upon hearing this.
He chuckled softly and said nothing more.
The next day.
To avoid arousing suspicion, Yu Mingxiang, who had been busy all night, drank two bowls of spiritual spring water to refresh herself, and went to the mountain to collect herbs as usual in the morning.
He saw Gu Guanhai, who was carrying a machete, walking out with him.
The two exchanged a glance, smiled knowingly, and remained silent.
The Cui family requested leave for Du Jinhe.
The news of Du Jinhe's safe delivery of her daughter spread like wildfire.
Although the Cui family refused to mention the details of Du Jinhe's delivery, some observant villagers, after learning that the midwife from the neighboring village had not delivered the baby for the Cui family, still guessed that it was Yu Mingxiang.
After all, only midwives who are used to delivering babies and Yu Mingxiang, who is a doctor, can perform such a technical task.
"How dare she deliver a baby for someone like that?"
"Could she be in cahoots with those people?"
"Is there even a question? Think about how his family donated money. If they didn't have money, what would they donate? It's obvious they used to be landlords..."
"..."
Within half a day, rumors were spreading throughout the village.
When Gu Guanhai heard those comments after coming down the mountain, his face immediately darkened.
"Anyone who dares to gossip behind someone's back will either have their tongues strangled according to the village elders' rules, or be handed over to the police!"
He had a scruffy beard and a muscular build, looking like someone you wouldn't want to mess with. Plus, he had a history of beating up Zhao Tiezhu and his son.
The villagers were all afraid of him.
Upon hearing this, the idle chattering crowd scattered like birds and beasts in fright.
Upon hearing the news, Grandma Gu: ...
Hearing that her son was causing a ruckus outside, she grabbed him and twisted his ear.
"You even went so far as to twist someone's tongue and hand them over to the police. Look at how capable you are!"
"Are you so afraid that outsiders won't know what you're thinking that you're not even hiding it anymore?"
Old Mrs. Gu dragged her son to a secluded spot and gave him a good beating with a fire poker. "How many times have I told you? You're not qualified to be Dr. Yu!"
"You good-for-nothing bastard, stop ruining Dr. Yu's reputation and get back to your mother's house for a blind date!"
Grandma Gu unleashed a torrent of abuse, leaving Gu Guanhai speechless.
"It's my fault for not daring to tell you anything before, because I was afraid you would worry."
He wiped his face, looked up at his mother, and said, "Mother, is it possible that your son actually has something important to do?"
"Do you have something important to say?"
Grandma Gu glanced at him sideways, "You're never home all year round, what important things could you possibly have to do? Don't try to make excuses for me, I don't believe your nonsense!"
Gu Guanhai: ...
Prejudice is as deep as a mountain, and cannot be explained in a short time.
He was too lazy to say anything more.
He seized an opportunity and escaped from his mother's clutches.
"You little bastard! You dare to harm Dr. Yu again and see what happens!"
As he fled, Old Mrs. Gu growled, "Don't force me to come and get you!"
