Chapter 38 Shameless

“You’re so eager to drag me into the mountains, I’ll suspect that you want to…” Qian Xiaolan heard this and angrily kicked Gu Yanqing. “I’ve discovered that your face is getting thicker and thicker. How come I didn’t notice you were like this before?” Gu Yanqing grinned and leaned in again, “Because I found out that my previous methods were wrong. If you want to win a beauty’s heart, you should be shameless. Look, didn’t I marry you now?” Qian Xiaolan snorted, “You being able to marry me isn’t your own credit. It’s because my mother, your mother-in-law, has good eyesight and arranged for me to be yours early on.” Gu Yanqing choked, and continued, “That’s also because we’re destined. It must be that heaven was moved by my true love, so it brought us together.

” Qian Xiaolan didn’t want to pay any attention to him anymore and quickened her pace forward. As she was about to enter the forest, she almost bumped into someone coming towards her. The person seemed to be startled and suddenly crouched on the ground, holding their head and shouting, “I’m sorry, I’m sorry, don’t hit me, don’t hit me anymore!” Qian Xiaolan wanted to apologize but swallowed her words, frowning, “Wang Jinhua, what do you mean? Are you trying to extort money from me?” Wang Jinhua’s eyes flashed and she quickly shook her head, “No, no, I thought you were him. I’m just scared of being beaten by him.” Qian Xiaolan raised an eyebrow and said nothing, carefully observing the original book’s female lead.

She was pregnant but thin and haggard, with dark circles under her eyes as if she had been beaten. She had read many novels, and she could say that this female lead was the most miserable one she had ever seen. Not at all like someone who possessed the female lead’s luck and golden fingers. Could it be because of her arrival, the system was bound to her earlier, so she ended up like this? “Qian Xiaolan, please help me. For the sake of the half-loaf of bread I gave you before, please ask your family to arrest Chen Zhiming, okay?” Wang Jinhua suddenly hugged Qian Xiaolan’s leg and begged. Qian Xiaolan moved a few times but couldn’t shake her off.

She didn’t dare to struggle too hard because she was pregnant. She was so angry that she said coldly, “Wang Jinhua, where did you get the nerve to ask my family to help you? Have you forgotten what good deeds you did before?” Wang Jinhua paused, shaking her head vigorously, “I didn’t, I didn’t do anything.” “Heh, you’ve forgotten, but I haven’t.

 You shamelessly went up the mountain with Chen Zhiming and had an affair, and then you forced my older brother into marriage. You wouldn’t think that we wouldn’t pursue this matter, so you’re forgiven, would you?” Wang Jinhua’s face turned pale, and she said anxiously, “My older brother didn’t suffer any loss, but I married Chen Zhiming, that violent man. Besides, I did you a favor. When you were starving, it was my half-loaf of bread that saved your life.”

 Qian Xiaolan recalled and laughed, “I really thank you for your half-loaf of bread. It must have taken a lot of effort to dig it out from the rat hole, right? You gave me the bread, and then you immediately told my cousin, letting her grab it and throw it into the dung pit. This is your life-saving grace?” Qian Xiaolan pried her hand open and turned to leave.

But Wang Jinhua grabbed her pocket again. She was really mad. If she hadn’t been pregnant, she would have kicked her a few times. Seeing that Qian Xiaolan hadn’t been able to break free after a long time, Gu Yanqing didn’t care about the impact anymore and stepped forward with a dark face to warn, “Let go! Otherwise, I’ll report you to the police for stealing our money.” Wang Jinhua stared incredulously, “Gu Lao Ba, you’re a soldier.

How can you bully us ordinary people?” Gu Yanqing sneered, “Heh, soldiers don’t bully people, but I’m not wearing my uniform now, and I’m not bullying a person.” Wang Jinhua was furious but also worried that Gu Yanqing would really disregard his identity and do something to her, so she could only let go of Qian Xiaolan and leave in a huff. Qian Xiaolan and Gu Yanqing looked at each other and smiled, and she gave him a thumbs up, “Amazing, my brother.” Gu Yanqing hummed arrogantly, “There are many amazing things about your man. You’ll see tonight.”

 Neither of them took this little incident to heart. Now that there was no one around, they held hands and continued into the mountains. They went to the trap first. They thought that they had checked it yesterday afternoon, so there wouldn’t be anything today, but they hadn’t even gotten close when they heard a “grunting” sound. Gu Yanqing’s face tightened, and he pulled Qian Xiaolan back, “Xiaolan, you stay back.” Qian Xiaolan saw that he was tense and obeyed.

Gu Yanqing cautiously went forward, and sure enough, he saw a wounded wild boar in the trap. “Xiaolan, I’ll stay here and guard it. You go and call someone.” Qian Xiaolan nodded and ran down the mountain. In a short while, she brought a group of people with her. By this time, Gu Yanqing had already used stones to kill the wild boar and dragged it out of the trap to a distance of about a hundred meters. Qian Xiaolan quickly grabbed Gu Yanqing’s hand and looked him up and down, “Are you okay? Why didn’t you wait?” Gu Yanqing smiled and squeezed her hand, “Don’t worry, I’m fine.” Qian Xiaolan was so angry that she slapped him, “Your injury hasn’t fully healed. Why are you showing off?” No one noticed their little interaction.

 Everyone’s attention was drawn to the wild boar in the pit. “Wow, what a big wild boar!” “Captain, this wild boar is so big. Should we kill it and eat it all or sell it and split the money?” “Of course we eat it. If we sell such a big boar to the meat processing plant, we won’t get much money.” “Yeah, yeah, I think eating it is better.

“… Everyone chimed in, and Gu Shengli couldn’t find a chance to speak. When everyone calmed down, he raised his voice, “This wild boar was killed by Lao Ba today. Today is their wedding day, so I decided to give them more meat. Do you have any objections?” Some people wanted to object, but they didn’t dare to speak up, so they could only follow the others and say, “No objections!” The wild boar was carried down the mountain and slaughtered on the threshing ground. After it was killed, it weighed over two hundred pounds.

The offal and head were kept for the whole team to eat at the pig-killing feast, and the rest of the meat was given to Gu Yanqing after three pounds were set aside, and the rest was divided according to the labor force of each family. That night, everyone in the team took a bowl and went to the threshing ground to get a bowl of pig-killing soup, and then they took it home and ate it with rice or bread. The Gu family also went to get some pig-killing soup, warmed up the leftover dishes from lunch, called their new in-laws over, and had a lively meal.

After dinner, Qian Xiaolan sent her parents and relatives away, and she lingered, not wanting to go back to her room. Gu Yanqing directly dragged her to the bathroom. “Wife, I’ve already asked Mom to prepare hot water for you. Go and wash up.” Qian Xiaolan’s face instantly burned up. She was embarrassed and annoyed, “You, you really…”

She was so angry that she couldn’t even speak. When she slowly finished washing and returned to the room, Gu Yanqing was already sitting on the bed waiting for her. Their eyes met, and the atmosphere instantly became thick. Gu Yanqing got up and walked towards her step by step, as if he was stepping on her heart. Her hands and feet didn’t know what to do.
