In less than a minute, both Mother Gu and Father Gu returned to their room and closed the door.

"What are you in such a hurry for? Did something happen?"

As soon as he closed the door, Father Gu couldn't wait to know what had happened that made Mother Gu so anxious.

"The second son's family said they were going to buy some meat today." Mother Gu said very seriously.

Father Gu was puzzled. What was wrong with buying some meat? Not to mention the second son's family, even he wanted to eat meat every day!

"Isn't this a very normal thing? What's so strange about it?" Father Gu still asked Mother Gu his question. In his opinion, buying meat to eat is the most normal thing.

"How is it not strange? People like the second brother's family probably only think about eating other people's meat! You still say it's not strange?" Gu's mother still felt that it was unlikely to let Liu Sandi pay for the meat.

"Oh! You just think too much. This is a very normal thing!" Father Gu still felt that this was very normal and not worth doubting at all!

"But Aunt Mo told me something, and combined with the second son's family's purchase of meat today, I always feel like something is not right!" Mother Gu thought of what Aunt Mo had said to her, and felt it necessary to talk to Father Gu about it.

"what's up?"

Father Gu also wanted to know what had happened that made Mother Gu so uneasy.

"She said that when she got up at night, she seemed to see Lao Er leaving the village, and she didn't know what he was doing."

"Could it be that I saw it wrong?" Father Gu thought it was unlikely. What could the second son do outside the village so late at night?

"Do you think the second child might do something illegal?" Mother Gu told Father Gu about her concerns.

"It shouldn't be! With the second son's personality, could he do such a thing?" Father Gu still didn't quite believe what Mother Gu said, but when he thought about the fact that the second son had changed a lot recently, he didn't dare to be 100% sure.

"Do you think we should go ask the second brother? Otherwise, my heart is pounding." Gu's mother suggested asking the second brother directly.

"That's not good! What would the second brother think of us if we didn't?"

When Mr. Gu heard Mrs. Gu's suggestion, he felt a little hesitant. He always felt that it was not a good idea to ask so directly.

"What's wrong with it? We are doing this for his own good. If he is really doing something illegal, we can still give him a hand in time and make him stop!" Gu's mother disagreed with what Gu's father said and thought there was nothing wrong with it.

"I think this matter needs to be considered carefully and we can't make a decision rashly."

"Then what do you think we should do?" Seeing that Father Gu disagreed, Mother Gu directly gave the initiative to Father Gu.

"Let me think about it..." Father Gu couldn't think of a good idea for a moment, so he could only walk around the room with his hands behind his back, thinking.

"How about I just guard the door at night? If the second son really goes out, I will definitely hear the noise. Then I can secretly follow him and find out what he is doing." After thinking it over, Father Gu felt that this was the best method, so he suggested it to Mother Gu.

"That's a good idea. Thank you for your hard work tonight."

Mother Gu agreed to the solution proposed by Father Gu and agreed without much thought.

Uh... can he take back what he said? Father Gu was a little worried. Why did Mother Gu agree so quickly this time?

Forget it, I’d better have a good sleep and wait at the door at night!

"Then I'll get some sleep first to get enough rest. Otherwise, I'm afraid I'll fall asleep while waiting at night."

"Go to sleep!" Gu's mother did not object. People of their age need to sleep more, otherwise they will really have no energy. After saying that, Gu's mother turned and left the room, no longer disturbing Gu's father's sleep.

Seeing Mother Gu leave, Father Gu took off his shoes and lay down on the bed. He fell asleep with doubts in his mind. It was not until Mother Gu came to call him for dinner that he realized that the sun was about to set.

"I slept for so long? Why didn't you wake me up to work?"

"What work is there to do now? I didn't call you because you were sleeping so soundly. Besides, I can do that little work, so you are not needed." Mother Gu knew that Father Gu was sleeping so soundly because he was tired, so she didn't have the heart to wake him up.

"Thank you, old lady!" Father Gu knew her feelings and was so moved that he almost cried.

"Don't try this code of affection, otherwise I won't be able to eat and will feel sick!" Mother Gu said sarcastically with a red face!

"Then I can eat more." Father Gu said fearlessly.

"Okay, so this is what you were planning." Mother Gu said as she attacked Father Gu. Father Gu failed to dodge in time and was slapped on the shoulder.

"Old lady, I was wrong." Father Gu apologized very tactfully, hoping that Mother Gu would stop.

"I won't let you off if you do that again! Eat!"

Mother Gu sat down to eat, and Father Gu, touching his hungry stomach, also sat down and started eating.

After looking at Mother Gu, Father Gu whispered, "Should we tell Lao Wu and the others about this?"

In fact, the only person Gu's father wanted to ask was Gu Tingxiao, but he changed his mind when the words came to his lips.

"Don't say anything yet, we don't know if it's true or not!" Gu's mother refused outright. She didn't want to distract Gu Tingxiao because of Gu Laoer's matter. She was afraid that he would make mistakes at work after being distracted, which was something she didn't want to see.

"Okay then! Let's keep it a secret from them for now. It won't be too late to tell them once I figure out the whole story tonight." Father Gu had no objection to this and agreed very much with Mother Gu's idea.

Time soon came to twelve o'clock in the morning. Looking around, I saw Father Gu dozing off while sitting at the door.

Father Gu was sleeping soundly, and was suddenly awakened by the creaking sound of a door opening.

As the door opened, Father Gu clearly heard footsteps, and then the sound of the door closing and opening. When the sound became so small that it was almost inaudible, Father Gu immediately opened the door and looked out. After confirming that there was no one in the yard, Father Gu immediately followed.

Father Gu was afraid that he had lost Gu Laoer, so he quickened his pace and gradually got closer to Gu Laoer, but always kept a distance of less than ten steps.

Seeing Gu Laoer walking towards the outside of the village, Gu's father realized that what Gu's mother said was true, but where was he going? What was he going to do? Countless questions lingered in Gu's father's mind!

When they arrived at the entrance of the village, Father Gu saw a figure waiting there from afar. This discovery forced him to stop and hide in the weeds on the side.

"Gu Lao Er, why did it take so long? You kept me waiting."

"Didn't I oversleep? Let's go! I'm freezing." Gu Laoer blew a breath into his palm, and if you looked closely, you could see a string of white smoke!
