Best friends transmigrate into a book! They marry a high-ranking official! If you run, I run too!

Gu Jin ran incredibly fast, as if a ghost were chasing her.

She was genuinely scared!

She was really afraid that if she ran too slowly, these two plagues would follow her to her house!

She had no idea how her three daughters-in-law would react to the shocking remarks of those two plague-ridden men.

As the saying goes, three women make a drama, so she'll probably be living on the stage every day.

Good heavens, she couldn't even imagine what life would be like!

These two scoundrels are just trying to mess with her, so she has to run faster.

Gu Jinfei ran quickly out of the courtyard and met Gu Yanli, who was returning from outside, at the gate.

Gu Yanli was carrying a bunch of things and called her "Little Aunt" affectionately, and it looked like he was about to bend down and give her something.

But Gu Jin only glared at her nephew, and then walked away in the blink of an eye.

Gu Yanli: His speed is like the style of someone carrying a load for five kilometers.

No wonder he's so fit; it's genetic.

It's this fish...

He went out again in the afternoon and not only caught fish, but also caught a wild rabbit in the trap he had set earlier.

He figured he couldn't finish it anyway, and just then he saw his aunt, so he gave her a fish to take home, but somehow it looked...

It seems like his aunt has suddenly become unfriendly towards him?

After Gu Jin left, Zhong Meixian also stood up, not sitting with Wen Tang and Chi Yue.

Just then, she saw her son return and immediately went to greet him, asking, "Why did you bring so much stuff?"

Gu Yanli lifted a gray rabbit weighing several pounds up a bit. "Hmm, the trap I made caught a rabbit."

Gu Yanli's words seemed to be directed at Zhong Meixian, but his gaze passed over Zhong Meixian and met Wen Tang's. His eyes were filled with pride at that moment.

A hint of arrogance flickered across his usually cold face.

His expression was telling Wen Tang, "Look how amazing your man is!"

Wen Tang is a master of cheering; she'll cheer for any event that doesn't exist, let alone one like this.

Under Gu Yanli's slightly proud expression, Wen Tang ran up to him, cupped her hands in front of her heart as she looked at the rabbit he was carrying, and exclaimed, "Wow, what a big rabbit! Did you catch it?"

Before Gu Yanli could even nod, Wen Tang had already exaggeratedly praised him, "My goodness, brother, you're amazing!"

"You can even catch a rabbit, you're a real man among men." Wen Tang gave him a thumbs up.

Chi Yue, listening to these corny compliments, got goosebumps.

She discovered that women can be quite frightening when they get greasy.

Wen Tang is oily right now, and she wants to help people remove the oil.

But it was obvious that Gu Yanli was quite pleased with Wen Tang's exaggerated manner.

Gu Yanli's lips initially curled up, but he gradually became embarrassed, though his lips still continued to curl up on their own.

Gu Yanli felt embarrassed and modestly said, "It was just a trap, and there happened to be a rabbit inside when I went there today."

But Wen Tang still praised him highly, "You can even dig traps? My goodness, that's even more amazing."

"I don't know how to do it either, can you teach me next time?"

Gu Yanli nodded without a second's hesitation.

Zhong Meixian "..."

Sigh, there's no hope left.

She glanced at her son; others treated him like a dog, so she, as his mother, shouldn't expect to stand up for herself.

Because of Wen Tang's method of praising children based on psychology, Gu Yanli wouldn't let anyone else touch the rabbits or fish, and he did it all by himself.

After preparing the fish and rabbit, Gu Yanli asked his beloved wife for her opinion, "Would you like to eat rabbit meat or fish for dinner?"

"Let's eat rabbit!"

"Would it be okay with some biscuits?"

“Okay,” Wen Tang nodded obediently.

Gu Yanli went to call Zhong Meixian, "Mom, come and knead the dough."

Zhong Meixian was annoyed just by looking at him, and couldn't help but ask as soon as they got to the kitchen, "Can't you let your wife knead the dough?"

While chopping the rabbit with a "bang bang" sound, Gu Yanli replied without looking up, "How would a child like her know how to knead dough?"

Zhong Meixian "..."

"She's young?"

"Her child? She married you?"

Gu Yanli still didn't look up, but then said something surprising: "Well, I'm shameless, I'm an old cow eating young grass."

Zhong Meixian "..."

She was furious, and she kneaded the dough with a huff.

After chopping the rabbit in a good mood, Gu Yanli started pickling the fish.

He also added, "I'll catch a few more in the next day or two, pickle them, and make them for Wen Tang every now and then after I leave."

"Also, buy some meat."

"Don't just eat fish, it gets greasy if you eat too much."

Zhong Meixian "..."

She got even angrier, so angry that she couldn't even knead her noodles.

"If you're really worried, then take him with you!"

"Look at all the conditions you have! If people didn't know better, they'd think you were marrying an empress!"

Gu Yanli wasn't angry at these words. He smiled and shut Zhong Meixian down, saying, "Who told her to marry me? She's just unlucky. I'm not some prince or emperor, and you're not even the empress dowager or empress. Where would she be a concubine?"

"If you and my dad were the retired emperor and empress dowager, she would definitely be the empress."

Zhong Meixian "..."

So she's being blamed again?

The fish has been marinated. Gu Yanli said, "I know you're worried about the money. Don't worry, I'll pay you when I get back."

Zhong Meixian was angry and asked, "Why don't you give it to me now?"

Gu Yanli wasn't ashamed at all. "I don't have any right now. I need to give the money to my wife."

"I'll give you some when I get back and receive the new allowance."

Zhong Meixian: She knew it would be like this.

Look at him...

However, considering that Wen Tang was pregnant, it was only right to take good care of her, so she said rather irritably, "Fine, if you're not afraid I'll mistreat her, then keep her at home!"

Gu Yanli also told her, "I really didn't want to leave her at home, mainly because she didn't want to go with me to the army."

Zhong Meixian couldn't understand. "Your garrison is on the outskirts of Haishi. Although it's not in the city, it's still much better than here. Didn't you say there are buses to take you around?"

Why doesn't she want to go?

"Your apartment building is cleaner and brighter than our little courtyard!"

Gu Yanli nodded. "Yes, that's what I said too, but she said she would test me." He lied without any guilt.

Zhong Meixian asked incredulously, "An investigation?"

Gu Yanli nodded matter-of-factly, "Yes, she said she wanted to see if I was someone who could manage a household, otherwise..."

"She still wants to run away?" Zhong Meixian glanced out of the kitchen, then leaned closer to Gu Yanli and asked in a low voice.

Gu Yanli shrugged. "She's young and good-looking. If I weren't a good man, she definitely wouldn't be with me!"

Zhong Meixian felt like her mouth was on fire. "Then you won't look good, even though... even though you're not young anymore."

"But she's already been with you, what kind of woman can she find after the divorce?"

Gu Yanli answered her with his own experience: "If I met someone that good-looking, I would be willing to take care of a child."

Zhong Meixian was so angry that she kicked him, "Get out, you good-for-nothing."

Gu Yanli continued, "Really, she's much prettier than the girls in our performing arts troupe."

"You have no idea how many men follow those girls in the cultural troupe around."

"roll roll roll!!"
