NOVEL NEXT 26: Good Riddance
Though surprised by his young wife’s assertiveness, the most important thing now was to get rid of Wu Changlin, that persistent nuisance.
If they continued to let things slide, who knew how much more blood he would suck from their family.
Fortunately, Gu Mengyao wasn’t without her own ideas, and she was especially good at listening to her husband. This made Gu Yu feel delighted, completely forgetting his recent concerns about what to do if Gu Mengyao wouldn’t listen to him in the future.
As for Wu Changlin’s poor attitude, Gu Yu didn’t take it to heart.
After all, Gu Yu’s actions had cut off one of Wu Changlin’s revenue streams, so who knew how much resentment he harbored!
However, Gu Yu didn’t care.
He had his space. Whatever schemes or tricks came his way, he could simply hide in his space.
As for Gu Mengyao and Gu Qingheng, since they had survived for many years after their parents’ deaths without incident, they presumably had the ability to protect themselves, so there was no need to worry too much.
The main concern was Gu Yu’s weak body. Without the space, he would definitely be a burden.
“Wu Changlin, we’ve said what needed to be said today, and I’m sure you understand. Since my husband says he’ll sell our prey from now on, that’s how it will be. As for our hunting partnership, it’s now void.”
“What! Gu Mengyao, have you gone mad? Your family is destitute. Even if you sell one wild boar, you won’t get much silver. You actually refuse to hunt with me… Even though your hunting skills are strong, alone against a pack of beasts you have no way to protect yourself. Are you planning to starve in the future?”
“Whether we starve or not is between my wife and me, and none of your business! My wife has made herself clear, so don’t come looking for us again.”
Gu Mengyao directly cut through the confusion, and Gu Yu satisfactorily delivered the final verdict.
This caused Wu Changlin’s expression to fluctuate, and ultimately he couldn’t help but speak up.
From his words, he seemed extremely unwilling to separate from Gu Mengyao for hunting.
Seeing Wu Changlin’s shocked expression, Gu Yu suspected he had a secret crush on his wife. Otherwise, why would he look so displeased upon hearing they wouldn’t hunt together anymore?
In fact, Gu Yu himself was puzzled.
He had previously thought Gu Mengyao was just a frail thirteen-year-old girl who, due to the loss of both parents and having a young brother, had to grit her teeth and go hunting in the mountains to earn money… But Gu Mengyao’s current demeanor and Wu Changlin’s attitude clearly indicated things weren’t so simple.
However, Gu Yu didn’t mind. His wife having abilities was better, sparing her from potential dangers she couldn’t handle.
Who didn’t have secrets?
Even Gu Yu had the secrets of his transmigration and space that he didn’t want to tell others.
So, Gu Yu didn’t force Gu Mengyao to tell him. He had been busy going back and forth between town and village all day, and now he had to listen to Wu Changlin whining in their home, which made him very displeased.
This person really couldn’t read the atmosphere. They were so obviously trying to get rid of him, yet he still lingered here.
“What Ah Yu says represents the family’s decision! No need to say more. You don’t need to come anymore in the future.”
“Fine, fine, fine. You two are really something.”
“I naturally know that Mengyao and I are good. You don’t need to praise us anymore. Please leave, and don’t bother seeing yourself out.”
“……”
Finally, seeing Gu Mengyao’s determined expression, Wu Changlin knew in his heart that there was no room for negotiation regarding hunting.
With Gu Yu making joking remarks on the side, Wu Changlin ultimately snorted coldly, turned around, forcefully bumped into the door, and left the Gu household.
