Chapter 134 Offense
The two haven't seen each other for a long time since the stall was handed over to Madam Guo. Guo Xin smiled slightly and nodded.
Brother Liu whispered, "The one next to Madam Guo is her newlywed husband."
Before he finished speaking, Madam Guo had already approached, took the man beside her and introduced him, "Xin'er, thanks to your family, I got married some time ago. I wanted to invite you to my wedding, but the journey was too far, so I didn't invite you to come."
Although the man next to her was holding Madam Guo's hand, he kept looking straight at Guo Xin with undisguised offense in his eyes. Guo Xin felt a little uncomfortable, but since he was Madam Guo's husband, he couldn't say anything.
Guo Xin had no choice but to ignore this obvious disrespect and asked, "You're getting married so early?"
The lady Guo in front of her was only two or three years older than her elder sister, yet she had married so early. However, on second thought, she understood that her family should never get married so early.
Madam Guo sweetly held the man's arm and looked at him affectionately. The man also looked down at her and said, "I have been taking care of the stall for the past six months, and mother has been working in your workshop. Life has improved significantly."
"Originally, my mother was lame, I didn't have a father, and I had a younger brother at home, so it was difficult for me to get married. But some time ago, when I was managing the stall, my wife liked this very much, so she often came here, and we got engaged after a few visits."
Guo Xin said: "Are you going to visit your parents today? Otherwise, come to my house later and I will give you some gifts."
Madam Guo waved her hands repeatedly and said, "No need. We should thank you anyway. How can we ask you to give us gifts?" She smiled shyly and added, "Besides, I didn't marry into his family."
The words were very metaphorical, but Guo Xin understood them. This was a man marrying into his family. This Mrs. Guo was quite capable.
Out of the corner of his eye, he saw a pool of liquid flowing in the direction of the man. Guo Xin frowned. What was that?
The man calmly wiped the corner of his mouth with the cotton coat beside his shoulder, and then he regained his normal expression and said to Madam Guo with a smile: "Your sister looks very capable. I wonder if she is married or has an engagement? If not, my cousin has a younger brother of the same age. His family also has several acres of good land and many male descendants."
Brother Liu sneered and said, "Madam Guo, your husband's eyesight is not very good. Putting aside her family background, Xin'er is not only good at making money, but also good-looking."
"How dare you propose marriage to Xin'er when your family only has a few acres of land? He has been in our village for quite a while. Doesn't he know that our Guojia Village has become rich thanks to Xin'er?"
Madam Guo glared at the man fiercely, her eyes full of reproach, "I'm really sorry, he meant well, and maybe he didn't think so much at the time."
Guo Xin heard the words were full of protection for the man, shook her head lightly, and said: "It's okay, you guys go ahead, I still have things to do."
As he spoke, he motioned for Brother Liu to continue walking forward.
After they left, Brother Liu muttered, "Xin'er, this Miss Guo has been blinded by her husband. When she wanted to get married, Aunt Liu didn't agree at all. After all, anyone with a discerning eye could tell that the man was not a good person, with pointed ears and monkey cheeks."
"But later, I don't know what tricks the man used to get his family to agree to marry into the family, and only then did Aunt Liu agree."
Guo Xin looked at the workshop not far away. That was the last place they were going to, so he said, "I'm afraid that many of the man's family members have gone to work in the workshop, right?"
She didn't believe that a man would be willing to abandon worldly prejudices and marry into a woman's family. Even in places with open customs like in her previous life, very few men were willing to marry into a woman's family. Therefore, she was so determined to marry Miss Guo just for love.
Therefore, it could only be for Aunt Liu's management rights in the workshop. After all, Mrs. Guo's stall had been agreed upon earlier that she could not open the store even if the business was booming, so as to avoid conflict with her own wine shop.
In this way, even if the stall needs more people, it is impossible to accommodate the man's family, but it is possible in the workshop.
Brother Liu kicked the stone that was blocking the road and said, "Mrs. Guo's husband looks like one, but when we chose Aunt Liu, we trusted her character very much, so we only arranged for one person to enter the workshop, and no one else could enter!"
Guo Xin nodded, said nothing more, and walked into the workshop in front of him.
……
On the other side, Guo Zhi habitually went to the wooden stake in the yard where the wolf was originally tied. Looking at the empty chain, she felt a little dazed and then she remembered that she had released the wolf back into the forest with her grandparents when she came back last time.
"Guo Zhi." A voice came.
"Liu You!"
Guo Zhi was a little surprised. She had been wondering whether Liu You would go back to the village with her. She wanted to ask her second sister, but when she thought about how busy the hot pot restaurant was and that Liu You might not be able to leave, she didn't ask. She didn't expect to see him here at this time.
"This time when I came back, Sister Guo Xin gave me a holiday, saying that I could rest for a few days. I thought you could come back with me, and I guessed that you might miss the wolf from before, so I brought this for you."
As he spoke, Liu You took out a clean white kitten from behind him and said, "This is a foreigner I met when I was in the capital city. I wanted to buy it for you, but you have been in the academy all the time, so I really have no chance to give it to you. So I took the opportunity to give it to you when I returned to the village."
Guo Zhi looked at Liu You and said, "You are so kind to me. This kitten must have cost a lot of money. I wonder if your salary as a shopkeeper is enough to buy this cat."
She took the cage from Liu You, held the white kitten in her arms, and stroked it while saying, "When I was here with my grandparents, I thought the wolf was feeling a bit depressed in our house, and there was no one to accompany it, so I released it back to the forest. I don't know how it is doing now."
"In fact, when you were not here, I heard from my eldest brother that the wolf was also very human-like and would come back from time to time to check on us. But after a long time, it never saw you and never came back again."
Guo Zhi lowered her brows and looked at the kitten in her arms, with a look of loss in her eyes. Although they had not been together for a long time, she had spent a lot of effort to rescue the little wolf, and it was also the little pet she rescued on her first hunting trip in the mountains.
The silent Guo Zhi was like a wilted flower. Liu You couldn't help but said, "Zhi'er, if you really miss her, we can go to the mountain and try our luck. I heard from my mother that she seemed to have seen her several times on the hill on the left."
