53: Touching the Little Chicken
“Hey, hey, are you telling the truth?”
“Of course! I saw it with my own eyes, Gu Yu has already returned from town.”
“But there’s nobody at his house. What should we do next?”
“What else can we do? Search!”
Just as Gu Mengyao and Gu Yu were lost in their own thoughts, the voices of two unfamiliar women suddenly sounded from a distance. With their loud voices, Gu Yu felt he could have heard them even if he had been at home, let alone from this distance.
After his encounter with Bai Linyue in town, Gu Yu had become wary of such women. Fortunately, Gu Mengyao was by his side now, so he wasn’t afraid of anything inappropriate happening.
“Sister, Brother-in-law, let’s hide quickly.”
“Why hide?”
“I know one of the women speaking! She’s the daughter of Widow Lin from the village, and she’s quite… loose! All the unmarried men in the village like to joke with her, always calling her ‘the girl with the big butt,’ and she calls them ‘dead devils’.”
“How do you know that?”
When Gu Qingheng recognized who was coming, his little face immediately became serious.
He then grabbed Gu Mengyao and Gu Yu’s clothes, pulling them behind a large tree nearby. After hiding their bodies, Gu Qingheng finally explained to them.
When Gu Yu heard Gu Qingheng’s words, he raised one eyebrow, wondering how Gu Qingheng knew all this.
After all, even if Gu Qingheng said Widow Lin’s daughter was promiscuous, how old was he now?
He probably heard it from other villagers, but… those women who gossiped behind others’ backs couldn’t be completely trusted, as there were many fabricated lies among their words.
“How wouldn’t I know! Lin Jiao’e harassed me before, she even wanted to touch my little chicken…”
“Pfft.”
After hearing what Gu Qingheng said next, Gu Yu realized he had thought too kindly of people.
It was indeed something Gu Qingheng had experienced personally, so he had full authority to speak on it…
To be fair, although this cheap brother-in-law was only eight years old, his handsome, clear features made him quite adorable. In modern times, he could probably have been a child star.
After Gu Yu couldn’t help but laugh, he looked downward, as if trying to see through the cloth of Gu Qingheng’s clothes to check how big his little chicken was that it had caught Lin Jiao’e’s attention.
Although Gu Qingheng was young, he knew this was not a good thing, so when he saw Gu Yu laugh, his adorable little face became even more serious.
As for Gu Mengyao beside them, she had already blushed when she heard about Lin Jiao’e flirting with the village men, but when she heard that Lin Jiao’e wanted to touch Gu Qingheng’s little chicken, her face changed instantly, and her delicate eyebrows furrowed.
Obviously, she didn’t know that her brother had been bullied.
Seeing this, Gu Yu directly took Gu Mengyao’s small hand, indicating that she shouldn’t overthink.
Gu Mengyao had already sacrificed so much just to survive; it was normal that she hadn’t noticed these things.
Being able to safely raise Gu Qingheng on her own was already quite remarkable.
“Since you’ve told us, Brother-in-law can help you get revenge!”
“No! Brother-in-law, don’t go out! I’m afraid they’ll strip off your clothes and climb on top of you.”
“…”
“I’ve seen it before. Lin Jiao’e went into a haystack with Chen Gouzi, and then other men said… Lin Jiao’e is a little demon who absorbs yang energy, and if you encounter her, your clothes will be stripped off.”
“Hehe, you know quite a lot.”
Gu Yu’s mouth twitched, thinking that his brother-in-law was truly shrewd, knowing everything that happened in the village—he could be said to be Second Aunt Wang Er’s successor.
However, such adult matters were better left unknown to Gu Qingheng, this little brat.
Didn’t he see that Gu Mengyao’s face was now almost as red as a monkey’s butt?…
But despite being embarrassed… Gu Mengyao suddenly gripped Gu Yu’s hand tightly, appearing nervous as if afraid he would go out and be stripped by other women, making Gu Yu both amused and speechless.
His little wife certainly had a big jealous streak.
