Professor Gu's daily life in the countryside after his rebirth

After Gu Mancang took Zhao Dani away, Gu Zhan picked up Liu Xiaoxi and put her on the kang, scolding her, "Who told you to run away?"

Liu Xiaoxi was very confident at this moment: "I am just speaking up for you, you can't argue with them..."

Gu Zhan gently pinched Liu Xiaoxi's smooth cheek and said softly, "I'm a grown man, why do I need a woman like you to protect me?"

"Humph, then you look down on me too much."

Gu Zhan's depressed mood improved a lot after being amused by her awkward look.

"Don't be angry, you need to be happy. Didn't you tell us today that we can move out in about twenty days? Then they won't be able to bother us anymore."

"Well, my wife is right."

The major work on the new house is almost finished, but there are still some details to be done. Leveling the floor, installing windows, etc., all need someone to oversee.

Gu Zhan originally asked Liu Xiaoxi to stay at home, but Liu Xiaoxi was very bored staying at home alone, so she was determined to go with Gu Zhan, and she even gave the excuse that she wanted to watch her future new home become complete bit by bit.

As soon as these words came out, Gu Zhan's heart softened and he was reluctant to refuse.

So it became that Gu Zhan worked together with the people who came to help, and Liu Xiaoxi sat on a tree stump not far away, watching Gu Zhan busy himself.

All morning, Gu Zhan was working hard with the helpers. Liu Xiaoxi stared at Gu Zhan, who was the most conspicuous among the group.

When I was about to finish and go home, the neighbor's aunt came running over in a hurry.

"Xiaoxi, Gu Zhan, what are you still doing here? Go home quickly, your grandma is tearing down the door of your room."

Liu Xiaoxi was stunned for a moment, then realized that the old lady was unwilling to give up even though she hadn't gotten the money, and was planning to pry open the door and get it.

The helpers were all from the same village and knew Zhao Dani very well. Now, when they heard that she had actually pried open her step-grandson's door, they looked down on this unreasonable old woman from the bottom of their hearts.

"Son, go back and take a look." said Gu Daniu, the uncle of the Gu family who drove a tractor in the production brigade.

"Okay, Uncle Danniu."

After saying that, Gu Zhan took Liu Xiaoxi to Gu's house.

When the two of them were halfway there, Gu Daniu caught up with them, panting: "You are walking really fast, kid. It took me a long time to catch up with you."

Gu Zhan was puzzled: "Uncle Daniu, what are you doing?"

Gu Daniu followed the couple forward and panted as he said, "You are a junior. Even if you are right in this matter, it is difficult to say. But it is different with the clan members present."

"In that case, thank you very much, Uncle Daniu."

"Alas, what are you thanking me for? We received a lot of favors from your father back then, and we haven't taken good care of you these years. To be honest, we still feel sorry for your father."

"It's in the past."

For a long time, Gu Zhan found it difficult to let go of the suffering he had endured in his previous life, but after experiencing it again, he felt relieved.

"You, kid, have really brought honor to your father. At such a young age, you've already built a house on your own. You're no less wealthy than your father was back then."

Gu Zhan’s newly built house was about three or four hundred meters away from the Gu family, and it didn’t take long to arrive.

When Gu Zhan and his wife and Gu Daniu stepped into the house, the door had already been pried open and the entire door was leaning crookedly against the door frame. If it was subjected to any more external force, the door would fall off.

Gu Dali stood at the door of the main room, looking vigilantly in the direction of the gate.

He expected that Gu Zhan and his wife might come back, but once the money was in hand, there would be nothing he and his wife could do even if they were angry. Who would have known that now the money has not been found yet and they have already come back.

Moreover, he also brought members of the Gu family.

Gu Dali looked at his tall and strong cousin and laughed awkwardly: "Daniu is here? Come in and sit down."

Gu Daniu looked at the old man in front of him and felt that he was extremely confused. For a moment, he felt angry when he looked at him.

"Uncle, are you home?"

"At home, at home." Gu Dali stood there awkwardly, his face becoming visibly tense.

After hesitating for a long time, he walked up to Gu Daniu and wanted to pull him into the main room.

Gu Daniu stood still, his eyes fixed on the door of Gu Zhan and his wife's room.

Zhao Dani originally thought that Gu Zhan would put the money inside the quilt or in some hidden place in the house, but after searching around, she found nothing. She was angry and hateful for a moment.

Finally, she set her sights on the wooden box that Liu Xiaoxi's parents had given her as a dowry, which was placed beside the kang. Pointing at the box, she said confidently to Gu Mancang, who had also come in, "That little bastard must have hidden the money in this box."

"Mom, I think it's probably in here too. Should we pry it open now?"

Zhao Dani pushed Gu Mancang aside, her greedy eyes fixed on the brand new red lacquered wooden box. She said viciously, "What are you prying open? Just take the box with you."

Gu Mancang was a little unsure: "Mom, it might not be a good idea to take the box with you."

"Not good at all? I don't believe they can take things back from me."

After hearing what Zhao Dani said, Gu Mancang instantly became bolder. He picked up the wooden box and walked out with Zhao Dani. His extreme excitement made him ignore Gu Dali's vigorous coughing.

When the mother and son walked out of the room carrying the box, they were stunned when they saw the people in the yard.

When did these two return? Why were they so quiet, and why was the burly Gu Daniu also present?

Gu Mancang's legs went limp and he struggled to support his body against the wall.

Zhao Dani glanced at Gu Dali, then walked towards the main room with the box as if nothing had happened.

"Old lady, where are you going with the dowry box that my parents gave me?"

As soon as Liu Xiaoxi said this, Zhao Dani looked at Liu Xiaoxi hatefully: "Go to your damn parents' house. The dowry box is mine when it arrives at my house."

Gu Daniu didn't say anything, but just stared at Gu Dali with a serious look, waiting for Gu Dali to speak.

Unexpectedly, Gu Dali just turned his head away and stopped looking at Gu Daniu who was standing in the middle of the yard.

Gu Daniu sighed in disappointment. Who could have known that Gu Dali would be such a person.

Gu Zhan whispered to Liu Xiaoxi to stay where she was, and he walked towards Zhao Dani.

"What do you want to do, you little bastard?"

Although Zhao Dani said stubbornly that she was not afraid of Gu Zhan, when she saw the 1.8-meter-tall young man walking towards her, she felt the pressure from the opposite side.

Zhao Dani would never admit that she was intimidated by a bastard whom she had never taken seriously.

"Old lady, I advise you to put the things back where you took them. Otherwise, I will report them to the police."

What? Report to the police?

Zhao Dani never seemed to have considered that Gu Zhan would report her to the police. She was genuinely panicked when she heard the word "police."

"Uncle, you too. Whether you are the mastermind or an accomplice, I think you will explain it to the police."

"Hey, nephew, you know I don't have the courage. I was afraid your grandma would fall, so I went in to help her up. You see, I didn't take anything."

Gu Mancang stretched out his empty hands, trying his best to prove his innocence.

Seeing her son abandon her, Zhao Dani panicked in her heart, but she was still unforgiving. She said to Gu Zhan: "I just looked at it, I didn't steal it. I don't even want this rubbish for you."

She was about to throw the box to the ground in front of Gu Zhan, but was frightened by Gu Zhan's look and stopped. She had no choice but to bend down and put the box on the ground, then walked into the main room in shame.

"My door?"

"Nephew, I'll fix it. I'll help you fix it."

Things happened quickly and were handled quickly.

Gu Daniu thought that according to Zhao Dani's personality, it would take a lot of trouble, but he didn't expect that Gu Zhan solved it with just a few words.

When he left, he looked at Gu Dali and said in a cold voice, "Uncle Dali, I will tell the clan about what happened today."

Gu Dali lowered his eyes, wanting to say something but stopping himself, and in the end said nothing.
