"What’s with that look in your eyes?"
Gu Qingshuai instinctively hugged himself, sensing sothing was off.
Tang Chuxia chuckled, "It’s the look of admiring a handso guy!"
Not only Gu Beihuai was frightened by this, but Gu Qingshuai was too.
Gu Qingshuai imdiately walked by Gu Beihuai’s side.
"Hey, little brother, what’s going on? Has your wife fallen for soone else?"
Gu Beihuai lifted his foot, ready to kick.
Based on past experiences, Gu Qingshuai instinctively dodged, narrowly missing the kick.
Rather than being kicked by Gu Beihuai, Gu Qingshuai trusted Tang Chuxia more; he quickly moved beside Tang Chuxia and whispered, "Sis-in-law, what happened? Have you finally grown tired of this violent man?"
Tang Chuxia’s smile was radiant; she knew that whenever she was unhappy, she needed to divert her unhappiness to feel happy.
So, she shook her head!
Gu Qingshuai was choked up.
"Sis-in-law, then why did you suddenly realize how handso I am? Are you planning to dump my little brother and marry ?"
Gu Qingshuai confidently flipped his dium-length hair.
What followed was a gust of wind ssing up his hair, all of it landing on his face.
No handsoness in sight, just a madman.
Tang Chuxia really appreciated Gu Qingshuai’s ridiculous confidence and his optimistic and comical nature.
"If you could actually outdo your little brother, I might consider it!"
Tang Chuxia’s words, though not ant, made Gu Qingshuai push all the hair from his face, resembling an oily and sleazy warti translator.
"Really, sis?"
He had dropped the formalities now.
A strong rural accent to boot.
Who knew who Gu Qingshuai had been hanging out with recently, it was truly frightening.
Gu Beihuai rubbed his arms, intensely irritated by his cousin.
Unable to tolerate his cousin’s mouth anymore, he swiftly kicked at Gu Qingshuai, who was still trying to curry favor, right in the buttocks.
That was a solid hit, and Gu Qingshuai very cooperatively fell onto the nearby ground in a perfect face-down, bum-up position.
Tang Chuxia laughed so hard she doubled over; her previously glum mood instantly lifted.
The entertaining Gu Qingshuai finally realized he might have beco a ans of amusent for the couple. He got up from the ground without getting angry, even spat out so mud, and then wiped his face with his sleeve.
"Hey, little brother and little sis, could you possibly not be so cruel to when you’re in the mood for fun? I’m still your cousin, right?"
After Gu Qingshuai finished speaking and saw Gu Beihuai’s unfriendly gaze, he imdiately dropped the brotherly attitude.
"Ah, look at my mory, I ca here to discuss sothing important with you, little brother. I got carried away talking to our sis-in-law and forgot the important matter!"
Gu Qingshuai put his hand on Gu Beihuai’s shoulder, "Let’s step outside to talk, it’s urgent!"
Seeing that Gu Qingshuai was serious, Gu Beihuai said to Tang Chuxia, "I’ll be out for a bit, don’t go wandering off!"
Tang Chuxia indicated that she could manage.
But no sooner had the brothers left than Tang Chuxia slipped through a side door to her in-laws’ place.
It’s a mont to appreciate how shrewd and brave both sets of parents were to have arranged the marital ho with a side door—left to her parents’ ho, right to her in-laws’, always available whenever she needed.
Upon entering her in-laws’ ho, Tang Chuxia saw Gu Nanzhi collapsed on the couch.
"My dear sister-in-law, did you finally rember your little sister-in-law?"
Tang Chuxia: ...
Actually, she hadn’t rembered; she just saw her now!
Tang Chuxia hugged Gu Nanzhi’s arm, "Oh, little sister-in-law, what’s the matter? Who upset you? Your sister-in-law will help you!"
The two of them were speaking absolute nonsense, yet Gu Nanzhi thoroughly enjoyed this tactic.
She imdiately stated, "Ahem, it’s not really a big deal, but! Your little sister-in-law has indeed encountered so trouble!"
Tang Chuxia: ...
Considering how Gu Nanzhi was acting all coy, the first thing Tang Chuxia thought of was, "A romantic issue?"
Gu Nanzhi yelped, nearly sending Tang Chuxia flying.
Tang Chuxia grabbed onto the doorknob to steady herself.
Confird!
It was definitely a romantic problem.
"Out with it, who’s the unlucky sod that caught your eye?"
Tang Chuxia’s face was brimming with gossip, eager to understand the young girl’s mindset—after all, as a sister-in-law, how could she not be concerned about her future sister-in-law’s love life?
Besides, the two were best friends.
That made it all the more necessary to understand the situation well.
Gu Nanzhi slapped Tang Chuxia on the arm, almost twisting herself into a pretzel.
It was simply eye-watering.
If Tang Chuxia wasn’t so eager to hear the gossip, she would definitely have thrown the person out to clear her mind.
Luckily, Gu Nanzhi knew Tang Chuxia well enough, and seeing her clench her fist, knew trouble was brewing, so she quickly stated, "It’s not really a big deal anymore, just what has your little cousin been doing recently? Why haven’t I seen him around?"
Tang Chuxia: ...
If she rembered correctly, her little cousin had t Gu Nanzhi just a few days ago.
Tang Chuxia’s gaze swept back and forth over Gu Nanzhi: "Since when have you started caring about my little cousin?"
Gu Nanzhi’s face turned red.
"What do you an ’I started caring about your little cousin’? He was supposed to help , and then he disappeared. I was just curious and asked around."
Tang Chuxia didn’t believe it.
"Be honest, do you really have feelings for my little cousin?"
Gu Nanzhi didn’t answer.
"I’ve always wanted to matchmake you with my second brother, what a pity!"
Gu Nanzhi rolled her eyes at that.
"Tang Chuxia, you’re my sister-in-law, and if I beca your second sister-in-law, think about it, how ssed up would that be?"
Tang Chuxia thought for a mont, then seriously looked at Gu Nanzhi: "But if you beca my little cousin’s sister-in-law, I would also feel that the relationships are very confusing!"
Gu Nanzhi: ...
It took her a long while to realize that Tang Chuxia was just teasing her.
Her face turned beet red.
"That’s nonsense, don’t think too much!"
Tang Chuxia just went, "Oh," going along with whatever Gu Nanzhi said, but she wouldn’t voice what she was thinking.
Eventually, Gu Nanzhi collapsed on Tang Chuxia.
"Just tell , will you help or not?"
That was the key point.
Tang Chuxia rubbed her chin: "Helping you is definitely possible, but what’s in it for ?"
Gu Nanzhi thought Tang Chuxia was taking advantage of the situation, but Tang Chuxia thought she was legitimately bargaining—after all, work should get so compensation, right?
The two friends bartered back and forth until they reached an agreent.
"You ask your little cousin for , and I’ll investigate what your older cousin and my brother are up to!"
Gu Nanzhi happily concluded the negotiation.
But then, she was shocked by the question Tang Chuxia asked in a hushed tone, almost doubting she heard it right.
