There were few outsiders coming to the village, and it was even rarer to see a man on horseback, so everyone gathered around to watch.
Village Chief Li asked curiously, "Brother Gu, is this man on horseback a relative of yours?"
Grandpa Gu nodded and said, "He is Taoyuan's distant nephew and came here to visit his relatives."
"Brother Gu, your family's life is really getting better and better. I heard that your daughter was rewarded by a nobleman a while ago and even has an ox cart. Now you have a nephew who rides a big horse. Don't forget to help us when you become rich."

Brother Gu also vaguely heard Widow Sun's muttering, "If you dare to spread rumors and cause trouble again to destroy my sister's innocence, I will arrest you and bring you before the authorities.
After saying that, he took Xiao Ba away.
All that was left were the dumbfounded onlookers and Widow Sun who was talking nonsense.
After coming back to their senses, they started a heated discussion. This person was definitely a martial arts master. With those movements and that demeanor, the Gu family was truly not to be messed with...
