NOVEL NEXT 70: Scheming
“I still don’t feel too confident. Will Gu Mengyao really come if we just wait here? That little girl is extremely cunning. Last night I tried to go to her house, but before I could even get inside, my foot was pierced by sharpened bamboo.”
“Hmph, I’ve hunted with her for so long, I knew she was hiding secrets. Otherwise, why would she always catch more than me! Originally, out of respect for the deceased Gu family patriarch, I was thinking of helping the two siblings, but who would have thought they’d turn out to be such ungrateful wretches. Now that she has a man, she doesn’t know her place.”
“Hehe, you old bastard don’t have good intentions either. Aren’t you just eyeing that Gu family girl because she’s pretty?”
“Gu Mengyao is good-looking and knows how to hunt. Marrying her would be like having a god of wealth at home. I had originally planned to have her marry me, but who knew that old Yang Third would have his son marry into her family. When she comes later, I’ll need to vent properly.”
As he listened, Gu Yu wanted to rush over and beat them up.
That fellow Wu Changlin, Gu Yu originally thought he just needed a slap, but unexpectedly… he was looking for death!
Gu Mengyao had mentioned Wu Changlin before. Before Gu Mengyao’s father died, he often looked after Wu Changlin when hunting in the mountains. Yet good deeds went unrewarded, as he had nurtured an ungrateful bastard.
After the Gu family patriarch died, this man still had designs on his daughter.
Fortunately, Gu Yu’s convenient father-in-law was shrewd and had perhaps already detected Wu Changlin’s evil intentions, which was why he had Gu Yu marry into the Gu family.
And Yang Cao’s father wasn’t a good person either. Gone for a night, and here he was waiting!
“Come on, she’s already married, you can only have your fun this one time. Why not think about how to get the silver instead.”
“Speaking of silver, it’s all because of Yang Third’s son causing trouble. Otherwise, selling such a large wild boar would definitely bring in a lot of silver. My new contact said they’ll take any wild prey now, and they’re paying double the market price.”
“Wow! Which buyer is so generous with silver?”
“It’s the newly opened Blessed Abundance Restaurant in town. They’ve been buying a lot of wild prey and already have enough! But recently, the Spring Arrival Restaurant across the street suddenly has a source of supply and can even get roe deer meat. I heard they’re also selling wild boar meat, so I’m guessing the wild boar that Gu Mengyao caught was sold to the Spring Arrival Restaurant.”
“Whatever, as long as we can get silver, that’s fine. I’m waiting for money to gamble! If this doesn’t work out and my wife and child cry themselves sick, I won’t spare you.”
“Brother Li, would I deceive you? If we wait here patiently, silver will come to us on its own.”
While Wu Changlin was talking with the other person, Gu Yu wasn’t idle either. He was slowly approaching them.
When he saw the two sitting on the ground talking, Gu Yu directly put them into his spatial storage.
Then, Gu Yu smiled slightly.
These guys actually dared to scheme against his family—their boldness knew no bounds. Since they envied Gu Mengyao’s ability to catch a lot of prey, he would satisfy them!
Thinking this, Gu Yu continued walking into the deep mountains, hiding in his spatial storage whenever he encountered danger, while also collecting plenty of wild prey and throwing them into the storage.
After walking for about an hour, when Gu Yu’s feet were nearly blistered, he had already entered deep into the mountains.
He had even seen a herd of wild boars passing by.
Unfortunately, no tigers or wolves appeared, otherwise Gu Yu would have directly thrown these two men into a tiger’s den or wolf’s lair. Then, after being completely eaten, no one would find their bodies.
Wu Changlin and Yang Cao’s father had already schemed against his family to such an extent that Gu Yu wouldn’t be afraid even if he killed them.
He just didn’t want to get blood on his hands, after all, Gu Yu didn’t want to be a murderer.
But if it really came down to a life-or-death situation, even if he had to bear the sin of killing, he would absolutely not let anything happen to Gu Mengyao.
