Farming with kids: My deceased husband returns and I spoil him rotten.
Chapter 43: Leaving Tomorrow
Gu Yu withdrew his gaze and looked at the broken body once more, finally letting out a sigh.
"How much is double? Can you give me an exact number?"
"Of course, after all, such a large sum of money is not something you two can easily come up with,"
Hearing her matter-of-fact tone, Gu Yu raised an eyebrow and saw the scheming in her eyes, which made him even more irritated.
This was originally meant for him, but now he has to buy it back at an exorbitant price.
But then he thought about it again and looked at Shang Qing with suspicion in his eyes.
Why leave a strange man here?
Are there other ideas?
Gu Yu was confused and could only withdraw his gaze from Shang Qing, close his eyes, and calm the turmoil in his heart.
But Shang Qing had no idea what he was doing, and assumed that the other person was unwilling, so she could only stare at him.
"Okay, can we go out now?"
We must focus on treatment first and then make further plans later.
But Shang Qing did not leave. Instead, she continued to look at Gu Yu, saying, "I hope that you, young master, can sign a written agreement."
Are they worried he can still run away?
Gu Yu grew angrier the more he thought about it, but because he hadn't yet obtained the medicine and because of Shang Qing's identity, he ultimately swallowed his anger.
"Okay, let's sign a document."
He grabbed some discarded paper from the side, found some leftover coal from the fire he used for heating at night, and quickly wrote down their agreement.
Shang Qing glanced at the contents, nodded after seeing them, and then quickly left the room.
But then, as if remembering something, she turned her head to look at Gu Yu inside.
"I'll give it to you after dinner."
"it is good."
Sensing the weakness in the other person's words, Shang Qing guessed it was because of what had just been said, and walked out of the house with a slight smile on her lips, feeling a little better.
To avoid the medicine appearing too abruptly, he turned around once, then put the medicine he had redeemed from the system into his pocket before squatting down by the stove to cook.
As the fragrance gradually spread, the two people, one big and one small, who had disappeared, returned.
"Mom, we got a lot of stuff from the back hill today, we can have an extra meal!"
"Thanks for your hard work."
Shang Qing touched Gu Pan'er's hair, which was messed up by the branches, then took the things and put them in the basin to wash them clean, preparing to add another dish later.
After she finished, she nodded slightly to Lao Zong, who was helping her, and then led the two children to sit down at the table.
The meal was eaten in complete silence.
Gu Yu seemed to vent all his dissatisfaction on his appetite, eating twice as much as he usually did in one go.
Seeing that he was still going to continue, the two children immediately sped up, afraid that they would not have enough to eat.
Sensing something was wrong, Lao Zong subtly reminded them several times, finally getting them to stop.
"Uh, sorry, I have a better appetite today."
"It's alright. After all, something good is happening, so it's bound to happen."
Shang Qing handed the pills to the other party and then continued to take care of the two children who had eaten too much.
Seeing that she didn't even glance at him out of the corner of her eye, Gu Yu's expression turned even uglier, but he still walked back into the house without looking back, leaning against the wall.
However, he did not take the medicine immediately; instead, he held it in his hand and fiddled with it.
Why are you in such a hurry to give it to him? Do you really just want the money?
But by dragging it out, I can both find Lao Zongshan to collect herbs and ask him to help with some tasks within his ability. Why not?
This just won't work. What's going on? Gu Yu's mind was racing with thoughts, but he still swallowed the pill.
The substance melted instantly in his mouth, giving him no chance to resist.
Soon I felt a warm current flowing through my meridians, quickly coursing to all parts of my body. I felt tired, closed my eyes, and lost consciousness.
When I woke up again, I immediately felt something was wrong with my body and got up.
Hearing a crackling sound, Gu Yu knew what was going on. He pushed open the door and saw Lao Zong and another person fiddling with something in the courtyard.
"Are you fully recovered?"
"Yes."
Upon receiving a response from the person in question, Lao Zong finally showed a smile that he hadn't displayed in a long time.
But she quickly noticed the bloodstains at the corner of Gu Yu's mouth, guessing that his body was exhausted after the treatment, and turned to leave.
When he returned, a silent wild boar was now perched on his shoulder.
"You, did you go hunting in the back mountains?"
Aren't you afraid of being discovered at this time?
Seeing the other person's stunned expression, Shang Qing could only turn to look at Gu Yu, who was pushing open the door, and let out another sigh.
Never mind, they'll be here soon, this little commotion is nothing.
Thinking of this, Shang Qing did not take any immediate action, but instead turned his gaze back to Lao Zong, who was squatting down and trying to bleed the wild boar.
"Do you need help? There's no well in the yard, so we have to go to the river to get it."
"Then I'll have to trouble you."
Shang Qing had already guessed that this would be the case, so he did not refuse and cleaned up the wild boar as quickly as possible.
I prepared a whole pig feast and placed it on the largest table in my house.
"The portion is quite large. If there were more salt, it might even be able to be made into cured meat."
"Should I go and get some more for my wife?"
Shang Qing did not agree, and waved his hand, pointing to the seat next to him, indicating that the other party should make something to eat.
It seemed that no one had eaten such a large piece of meat in a long time, and everyone remained silent, earnestly eating the wild boar meat in front of them.
"Mom's cooking is so delicious. If I could eat it all, I would have done it all."
"Eat as much as you can, don't let the child stuff more into their mouth. Take your little sister back to the room to wash up."
After these days of learning, Gu Pan'er already knew how to wash up together, and she and Gu Nian'er held hands as they returned to the largest master bedroom.
Only three people remained in the small room. She didn't look away at all, staring straight at the two of them.
"Now that you have fully recovered, young master, why don't you leave soon?"
"You take advantage of them and then kick them out?"
How could he say something so ambiguous?
But Shang Qing didn't pay much attention to it and got up to look in the direction of the village.
"Please don't make things difficult for me, young master. Please leave tomorrow."
"Shang Qing, was my behavior today too rash? If you think it's wrong, you can say so, but my brother and I can't..."
Shang Qing didn't let him finish speaking before pushing open the door and going back into the room, shutting out all the noise.
The two were completely taken aback, but they didn't want to make too much of a commotion, so they went back to their room first.
Not long after they returned to their room, the two heard someone shouting outside.
"Shang Qing, I know you're in there, come out right now!"
"Shang Qing!"
The sharp, piercing sound startled San'er awake, and she burst into tears.
Having no other choice, Shang Qing got up and went outside. When she saw Jiang Yingyue standing outside, her delicate brows furrowed again.
"What are you doing here? Has your sister-in-law finally realized her past mistakes and come to support us?"
