My Wife is the World’s Greatest Divine Martial General

Given Second Aunt Wang’s formidable gossip abilities, Gu Yu didn’t want to get involved with her. However, being from the same village, it wouldn’t be appropriate to ignore her completely.

So he could only engage in sporadic conversation, his perfunctory attitude quite obvious.

“Hehe, Goudan, you’re living quite comfortably! Not only do you have a wife, but no one controls where you go. Unlike me, who has to work for others in town, earning money the hard way to get a wife.”

Where there are people, there’s gossip. Although Gu Yu hadn’t paid much attention to Second Aunt Wang, they weren’t the only passengers on the cart.

When a caustic remark was made, Gu Yu narrowed his eyes slightly.

Then, turning his head to look at the speaker, Gu Yu realized he didn’t recognize him.

Well, to be frank, Gu Yu only knew a few people… after all, he wasn’t the original owner of this body, but an unfortunate transmigrator.

“Chen Gouzi, how can you talk like that! Goudan has been sickly since childhood. How can you interfere in the young couple’s private life!”

The man Second Aunt Wang called Chen Gouzi not only spoke harshly but also had an unpleasant appearance—a long, thin face with small eyes. When he smiled, revealing a mouthful of yellow teeth, Gu Yu couldn’t bear to look at him a second time.

That squinty-eyed appearance seemed familiar… somewhat resembling the fat woman he had encountered earlier who had called him a pretty boy who paid to get in.

Village nicknames were given quite casually.

This was evident from Chen Gouzi’s name… As for Second Aunt Wang, her husband wasn’t called Wang Er; it was just because he was the second son in his family that she was called this.

Villagers were generally quite casual with names. As long as they knew who you were, any name would do once people got used to it.

“Second Aunt Wang, I wasn’t talking to you, so don’t mind other people’s business.”

“What do you mean ‘other people’s business’? If you don’t want your reputation to stink all over town, just keep talking.”

Chen Gouzi initially wanted to argue with Second Aunt Wang, but after hearing her next words, he immediately backed down. Everyone in the village knew about Second Aunt Wang’s big mouth—she could talk about the smallest matters in various ways all day long.

He hadn’t yet married, and if his reputation truly became tarnished, he would be doomed to be a lifelong bachelor.

However, after being cut down by Second Aunt Wang’s subtle warning, Chen Gouzi looked at Gu Yu’s pretty face and immediately snorted with disdain.

Gu Yu was only relying on his good looks. If not for that face, how could he possibly live such a good life where he could eat meat whenever he wanted?

Chen Gouzi’s home was right next to the old Yang residence, and he had always known that Yang’s third branch wasn’t living well in the old Yang family.

Even the sickly Gu Yu had grown up doing heavy work, usually unable to eat even an egg. But after marrying into the Gu family, he would casually bring pheasants and rabbits to visit the old Yang family.

The smell of stewed meat from the old Yang house in the evening had nearly driven Chen Gouzi mad with hunger.

The more he thought about it, the more displeased he felt. Why did all the good things fall into Gu Yu’s lap? Was it just because his face looked good? But he, Chen Gouzi, wasn’t bad either! Especially since he had a strong body—why hadn’t anyone asked him to marry into their family!

He wasn’t asking for much—just to eat meat every day and drink some wine. That would be a sweet life.

Thinking about these things, when Chen Gouzi saw Gu Yu’s disinterested demeanor, a flash of jealousy appeared in his eyes. His thoughts, accompanied by the swaying of the ox cart moving forward, made him increasingly resentful.

He was just short of directly killing Gu Yu and marrying into the Gu family himself.

That way, not only would he have meat to eat every day, but he would also get a wife… With Gu Mengyao’s appearance, she was a beauty in the village, and taking her out would bring him face.

If she looked like his mother, so fat, he would be embarrassed to be seen with her in public.
