Rebirth: Divine Doctor, Sweet Wife

Chapter 509 - Think Of A Way To Improve The Gu Family’s Standing

Mo Beihan’s hopeful face fell.

Gu Qingyao laughed. “My teacher just arrived. I have to stay and take care of her. Grandfather and Grandma Guo are also here and need someone to take care of them. If I remain at home, there will be more resources.”

Mo Beihan was reluctant to give up. “I can send whatever they need. Didn’t your teacher ask you to go to the provincial capital to get some books? We can leave together!”

Gu Qingyao held back her laughter. “I really cannot leave with you so soon. You know that my family’s background is poor and our circumstances are exceptional. I recently stayed in the city for a while and now everyone is paying close attention to the Gu family. All of them are eyeing us, and thinking of marrying into the family.”

“This kind of attention cannot be good for the Gu family. I had better stay at home like a good girl! My teachers are all here, so I can take the opportunity to learn a little!

“The spring planting is about to begin, then it will be the autumn harvest. I have to stay home and help with the housework. Surely, I can’t leave it all to Youngest Aunt! She has to work to earn work points too! Ting Ting is so young, but she is already doing small jobs in the fields and she has to do the household chores too! As her older sister, I cannot possibly be so pampered, right?”

“You are pampered. I cannot bear to have you do the farming. I can support you. With a husband to support you, why do you have to work so hard?” Mo Beihan said self-righteously.

Gu Qingyao: “…”

“All right!” Gu Qingyao coaxed him. “In any case, it’s not possible for me to leave with you for more than half a year. We just met, and you want me to go with you, then return immediately?

“I had better stay home for a while! When the weather gets warmer, I’ll visit you in the provincial capital. If you want to go to Nancheng at that time, we can do that. Then I will hurry back. I must definitely reach home by the autumn harvest.”

Mo Beihan was reluctant. “When the autumn harvest arrives, I will take leave and do your work for you.”

Gu Qingyao: “…”

Although this fellow was a little childish, Gu Qingyao was delighted that he cherished her so much.

“Go home! It’s too cold here. There are still many days left until the new year holiday! We can meet again in a while!”

Mo Beihan had no choice but to leave!

But after the incident with Sun Mei, he was on the alert!

The Gu family’s current situation was not a hopeful one.

Although he and Yao Yao knew from their previous lives’ memories that the Gu family would eventually pass through this period uneventfully, the current situation was exceptional. They had changed many events after their rebirth, and the thinking of the people around them had changed too.

The Gu children were so outstanding that most people did not dare to have designs on them.

Ultimately, these people dared to pick and choose among the Gu family without thinking about whether the latter would agree because to them, the Gu family had no standing.

No standing meant that they had no dignity. Anyone could plot against them.

He had to think of a way to improve the Gu family’s standing.

He could not change the big picture, but that did not mean that he could not cause others to value the Gu family…

The next day, Jiang Feng from the Southern Lake Brigade needed to go to town. Since it was the new year, and he would be driving the brigade’s ox cart to town, some others decided to visit the town and watch the fun.

Sun Mei was in a bad mood. She had received a terrible blow. She also wanted to visit the town.

Coincidentally, a chance to do so arose. She thought that she would make a few more trips to the city. At least, then she would have more chances of interacting with city dwellers.

So she carefully dressed up, making an effort to look her best before she left the house.
