NOVEL NEXT 74: Fainting Again
When the notification sound from the spatial storage rang out, Gu Yu inwardly cursed “bad timing,” then his vision went black and he fainted directly.
Having experienced this before, Gu Yu wasn’t panicked at all this time.
As for his unconscious body, he trusted that with Gu Mengyao beside him, he wouldn’t wake up with a big bump on his head…
“Sister, brother-in-law has fainted again!”
“Ah Yu’s health is really too poor. I need to find time to go to the mountains and find some ginseng to strengthen him.”
“Hehe, you said you didn’t like him before! Now you’re so worried… In a few more days, my little nephew might be on the way.”
“……”
With such a sickly body, even Gu Yu himself wasn’t worried about fainting this time. Gu Mengyao and Gu Qingheng, having experienced this multiple times, didn’t panic or make a fuss either.
However, looking at Gu Yu who had collapsed into her arms, Gu Mengyao’s brows furrowed slightly, thinking that she definitely needed to properly strengthen her husband’s health.
Gu Yu’s poor health, though partly a congenital deficiency he was born with, was also related to his long-term malnutrition in the Yang family.
When Gu Mengyao mentioned giving Gu Yu ginseng, she hadn’t carefully considered whether Gu Yu’s weak body could handle ginseng’s potent strengthening effects!
After all, when it came to powerful tonics, ginseng was the best!
Seeing his sister’s concern for her husband, Gu Qingheng’s cute face wore a mischievous smile as he teased his sister relentlessly, successfully causing a row of black lines to appear on Gu Mengyao’s forehead.
In these past few years, her brother had truly grown wild—how did he know about everything!
Once the new house was built, Gu Mengyao decided to send Gu Qingheng back to school, and even take Gu Yu along with him.
In the future, if Gu Yu and Gu Qingheng were to continue farming in the countryside, Gu Mengyao would be the first to object.
Men all had grand ambitions. If they remained confined to the countryside because of her, Gu Mengyao would feel very guilty.
Their family could now afford it, so they should all go to school!
Gu Yu’s aptitude was unknown, but Gu Qingheng was a prodigy with photographic memory. When he had to withdraw from the town school, even the teacher had sighed repeatedly, lamenting that poverty had destroyed a future pillar of the nation.
When Gu Mengyao heard these words at the time, her heart was filled with sadness. She clenched her hands tightly and gritted her teeth, thinking that in the future, she would definitely earn money to support Qingheng’s continued education.
For no other reason than to prevent poverty from ruining Qingheng’s future prospects.
The silver coins in the box that Gu Mengyao had wanted to give to Gu Yu were the initial funds she had saved to help Gu Qingheng resume his studies.
“Sister, brother-in-law already said not to let you go to the mountains, yet you still want to go!”
“I’ve been hunting in the mountains for so many years, it’s fine! Ah Yu is just too worried. Not to mention, my strength alone is enough to kill a wild boar, let alone protect my own safety!”
“I still don’t think it’s a good idea. If brother-in-law finds out later, you’ll be in trouble!”
“……”
“How about this, sister—you can first see how brother-in-law’s condition is. His frequent fainting might be related to poor nutrition. If we eat better in the future, perhaps he’ll recover naturally!”
“That’s true. Let’s try that approach first!”
Gu Mengyao’s plan to go to the mountains to find ginseng was strongly rejected by Gu Qingheng.
Although Gu Qingheng was only an eight-year-old child, when eavesdropping on various gossip in the village, he had also heard about the dangers of the mountains.
Not only had their father died in the mountains, but even villagers who went to dig for wild vegetables, before even entering the deep mountain areas, had been bitten by wild animals that occasionally came down from the mountains.
Therefore, his sister’s idea of going to the mountains must be immediately eliminated!
If she still wanted to go to the mountains later, she couldn’t blame him for proactively reporting to Gu Yu…
