Chapter 116 It's Clearly Yours
Following behind, Zhao Laidi looked at Gu Yinniu, who was acting like an old man in front of her, and the more she thought about it, the more she felt something was wrong.
Then, with a thud, he threw the hoe off his shoulder and onto the ground. Gu Yinniu, who was in front of him, turned around upon hearing the sound and frowned.
"What are you up to now, you old hag? My sister-in-law told us to go up the mountain and clear land. If we don't manage to get half an acre of land, we won't have any food tonight."
But to everyone's surprise, Zhao Laidi wasn't in a hurry at all, and instead asked calmly, "Gu Yinniu, who taught you to do that just now?"
She pointed out that something was wrong, and it was definitely that damned man, Gu Yinniu, who was at fault.
The man who used to let her hit and scold him has now dared to lay a hand on her. And the things he just said, if no one had taught him, even a ghost wouldn't believe them.
Upon hearing this, Gu Yinniu dared not speak. He kept backing away, seemingly trying to run away.
Zhao Laidi remained calm upon seeing this scene, standing there and looking at him with composure: "Gu Yinniu, if you don't give me a proper explanation today, I'll make sure you're a bachelor tomorrow."
Upon hearing this, Gu Yinniu immediately backed down and then explained everything he had just said to his wife.
After learning what had happened, Zhao Laidi asked about the land reclamation. Then, upon hearing that Gu Yinniu said it was Li Guixiang who told her, Zhao Laidi angrily grabbed Gu Yinniu's ear.
"Look at you, you won't listen to what I say, but you listen to what that woman Li Guixiang says. Does she think she can just stop feeding you? With your older brother around, what can that woman do?"
Having just had his ear pulled, Gu Yinniu grimaced and rubbed his ear, saying, "I can't ignore it. My brother isn't home right now; he won't be back until tonight. If we don't do it, we might get scolded again tonight."
This is absolutely true. Li Guixiang never discriminates when she curses; she would curse even if her older brother were there.
Hearing what her husband said, Zhao Laidi was furious. She didn't know why she was so unlucky to have married such a man!
He was clearly the master of the Gu family. Li Guixiang was just an outsider. In that family, apart from his mother-in-law and eldest brother, Gu Yinniu was the most powerful, wasn't he?
But this guy is afraid of Li Guixiang, and she doesn't know why he's so afraid of that woman!
The couple argued and bickered all the way to the top of the mountain. When they saw the weeds that were taller than a person, they were both annoyed.
These days, land reclamation relies entirely on manpower. Li Guixiang asked them to clear half an acre of land, but it would take the two of them a whole day to do it.
Gu Yinniu couldn't work for long, so he went to a tree, closed his eyes, and prepared to sleep. But he had only been closed his eyes for a short while when he heard a rustling sound.
It's winter now, so there shouldn't be any snakes around. Gu Yinniu heard this but didn't pay much attention. The main thing was that he was tired and just wanted to sleep; he didn't want to care about anything else.
But before he could fall asleep, he heard his wife's voice: "Ah... Gu Yinniu!"
The sharp, shrill sound startled Gu Yinniu, who sat up and looked at Zhao Laidi.
"What are you yelling about, you old hag? I just want to sleep for a while, and you won't even let me. Let me tell you, if you work me to death, you'll end up like that Lin family girl, a widow."
After he finished speaking, he noticed the fear on Zhao Laidi's face, and it was directed in his direction.
When Gu Yinniu came to his senses, he froze completely, not daring to turn around or look back, afraid that he would see something terrifying and faint.
Zhao Laidi stopped yelling and just stared at him in terror, holding a hoe. Then Gu Yinniu heard something whoosh as it shot past his ear.
He had no idea what was going on; he was completely dumbfounded. When he finally realized what the search had meant, he almost fainted.
Ershi ran over from the other side and ran right up behind Gu Yinniu. About two meters behind him, Ershi spotted his prey.
His archery skills weren't very accurate yet, so he only hit the prey's leg. Probably because there wasn't much food in winter, the prey was also very weak, and it stopped running after being shot in the leg.
When Ershi saw that it was a little gray wolf, he picked it up by the scruff of its neck. He originally wanted to help pull out the sword, but now he was a little hesitant.
Seeing that Ershi was carrying a wolf cub, Gu Yinniu quickly moved aside. After Ershi walked past him, he quickly got up and called out to Ershi.
"Ershi, you stop right there! Where are you taking this wolf cub?"
Upon hearing the voice, Ershi turned to look at Gu Yinniu: "Second Uncle, this is the game I hunted. What business is it of yours where I take it?"
None of the siblings liked the Gu family; they had no affection for them whatsoever.
When Gu Yinniu heard that Ershi was going to take the prey away, he quickly said, "Didn't you catch it behind me? It should be mine, how can you take it away?"
Even though it's just a little wolf, it's still meat. If we skin it, roast it, and eat it, we'll definitely be full.
Even if it's not enough to fill you up, it's still good to satisfy your cravings!
Gu Yinniu's gaze fell on the little wolf, as if he wanted to devour it alive.
After hearing what Gu Yinniu said, Ershi immediately handed over the wolf cub.
"Second Uncle, do you want it? Then you can have it."
Seeing Ershi hand over the wolf cubs, Gu Yinniu quickly went up to take them, his smile practically splitting his mouth.
But just as he was about to take the wolf cub, he heard, "Even though it's a wolf cub, it must have gotten lost from its mother. When its parents come looking for it, don't blame me, Uncle."
Upon hearing this, Gu Yinniu quickly withdrew his hand, at an incredibly fast speed.
He looked up at Ershi with a horrified expression: "You...you...you think the parents of this wolf cub will come looking for us?"
"Second Uncle, are you serious? Don't you know that wolves are pack animals and there's never a lone wolf?"
"This little wolf is all alone here now. It must have run away by itself. If it ran away by itself, its parents will definitely be looking for it."
"If my second uncle's two children were lost, wouldn't he even go looking for them?"
Zhao Laidi, who had just been frightened, also heard these words and quickly pulled her man back.
“Ershi, your second uncle is getting senile. This little wolf is clearly yours, it has nothing to do with your Erbao…”
