Yu Mingxiang: ...
She had completely forgotten about the future, letting him push her out, and turned back to ask, "We're almost gone, is there anything you want to eat?"
Gu Guanhai grinned, "I love anything you make."
He said it was unintentional.
Yu Mingxiang felt inexplicably embarrassed and hurriedly went into the kitchen.
Gu Guanhai watched her departing figure, lowered his head, and smiled silently.
Then he went back into the house and pulled out the gun that was hidden under his clothes.
He already knew about the rumors in the village. The reason he chose to leave at this time was partly because he was afraid she would hear the rumors and refuse to see him, and partly...
He really had no choice but to leave.
The research institute placed an order with him not only for food and other supplies, but also for a batch of scientific research equipment imported from abroad, which he was to escort into the country.
During dinner, upon learning that Gu Guanhai would be leaving the next day, the Qin brothers, Weiguo and Xiangdong, were both very reluctant to see him go.
The three of them then prepared another pot of old wine and began to sip it.
Seeing this, Xue Ru couldn't help but whisper to her mother-in-law.
"Mom, did you drive Uncle Gu away?"
Uncle Gu's feelings for her mother-in-law were crystal clear. Xue Ru felt that even if Uncle Gu were the most sensible person, he wouldn't stoop to this level, so...
It must have been her mother-in-law who kicked her out.
"I don't."
Upon hearing this, Yu Mingxiang quickly explained, "He wanted to leave on his own; he had black market business to attend to."
Xue Ru: ...
He looked completely incredulous.
Yu Mingxiang didn't know how to explain it either; she was feeling quite confused.
After the meal, as usual, everyone drank a bowl of spiritual spring water. After Yu Mingxiang cleaned up the kitchen, the family returned to the backyard.
But.
As soon as she arrived in the backyard, Yu Mingxiang was surrounded by her two sons.
"Mom, we've heard the rumors in the village too. Did you drive Uncle Gu away?"
“Uncle Gu has been helping our family both openly and secretly these past few days, and we’ve been living together quite well. Mom, how can you kick Uncle Gu out?”
"..."
Faced with the brothers' unanimous condemnation, Yu Mingxiang exclaimed, "!!!"
His chest heaved with anger as he said in a deep voice, "I already told you I didn't do it. The research institute placed the order with him, and he has to go back to hand over the supplies!"
These words were spoken.
The three little ones looked at each other, and then...
"Mom, if you're going to make up an excuse, at least make it believable."
Qin Weiguo rubbed his temples, looking helpless, and said, "What kind of place is our workplace? What kind of place is the black market? How could a research institute possibly buy things from the black market?"
Qin Xiangdong nodded in agreement, "It's Uncle Gu, the one you kicked out, Mom. Uncle Gu was such a good person, I was even ready to call him my stepfather..."
Yu Mingxiang: "!!!"
I was completely stunned by my youngest son's words.
Stepfather?
It's amazing he dared to say that!
He could change his mind, but she couldn't bring herself to say it!
"What stepfather?"
Yu Mingxiang flicked her youngest son on the forehead, gritting her teeth as she said, "Be careful, or your dad might jump out of his coffin and give you a good beating!"
Qin Xiangdong rubbed his head, which had been hit, and pouted.
“My dad has been gone for over ten years, his bones have all turned to ashes…”
Yu Mingxiang glared at her, "You still dare to say that?"
She raised her hand to hit her youngest son, but Qin Xiangdong slipped away.
Qin Weiguo and his wife looked at each other in bewilderment upon seeing this.
Seeing the encouragement in his wife's eyes, he took a deep breath and said, "Mom, instead of driving away Uncle Gu to suppress the rumors, why don't you just make the rumors true and marry Uncle Gu? We all think highly of Uncle Gu."
Upon hearing this, Yu Mingxiang exclaimed, "!!!"
Her eyes flashed, then swept over her eldest son, and she gritted her teeth, scolding him in a low voice, "Don't think that just because you're married, I won't hit you in front of your wife!"
"If you dare to spout nonsense again, I'll beat you without hesitation!"
Qin Weiguo was speechless upon hearing this.
