The husband I snatched halfway through his life is strange.

Meanwhile, Yao Yao hadn't forgotten the purpose of her visit, and she asked directly, "What was the homework the teacher assigned last time?"

Upon hearing this, Wang Zhousheng was somewhat disappointed, but he still honestly told him the truth.

"Copy the Thousand Character Classic, then write another article."

Yao Yao had a headache after hearing that.

She felt like her hand was going to break.

Wang Zhousheng mustered his courage: "Yaoyao, do you want the one I made?"

Yaoyao: ?
She glanced at Wang Zhousheng suspiciously.

"Are you so kind?"

Wang Zhousheng's face grew even redder under her gaze. Anyone who asked around in Ze County would know that no one was prettier than Yao Yao.

Although she has a bad temper, isn't it normal for good-looking people to have bad tempers?
He rubbed the hem of his clothes: "I want to sit next to you in class next year?"

Yao Yao: "That won't work."

Yao Yao said, "My dad told me to stay away from you."

Wang Zhousheng was deeply hurt.

"That...that..."

Yao Yao said earnestly and domineeringly, "Then you should give me your completed homework."

Wang Zhousheng: ? ? ?

He's not really interested if there's no benefit to it.

"If I give it to you, I'll have nothing left."

Yao Yao was puzzled: "Can't you just rewrite it?"

Is it difficult for you to pick up a pen?

"One should be more generous."

Gu Fuju: ?

Wang Zhousheng felt ashamed.

He felt that he was really selfish.

"Wait here, I'll go get it right away."

He threw down those words and ran back into the house, quickly returning with his completed homework, which he handed to Yao Yao.

Yao Yao only wanted the article.

Wang Zhousheng: "Take them all."

The young girl was very good at handling people. She patted Wang Zhousheng on the shoulder and said in a soft voice, "You also have to go to the teacher's house to pay New Year's respects tomorrow. If you take them all, you'll be in a rush to finish this day. I'd feel bad about that."

"I'll leave you the Thousand Character Classic, so you don't have to work so hard today."

!!!

Wang Zhousheng was deeply moved.

They completely forgot that he could have avoided all that hardship.

Before Wang Zhousheng could say anything more, he met Gu Fuju's suddenly darkened face.

"This……"

He asked in a low voice, "I've never seen that person before. He seemed like he was just passing by. He was protecting you just now, but why did he look at me with such hostility?"

Yao Yao carefully put the article away, her tone dismissive: "Maybe you're not likable."

Wang Zhousheng agreed: "That can't compare to yours."

Yao Yao replied reservedly, "Mmm!"

-

Half an incense stick later, Yaoyao walked lightly down the street, the gold beads at her waist jingling as she moved.

She tilted her head to look at Gu Fuju.

"Are you really going to treat me to some snacks?"

She frowned, her voice extremely delicate: "The pastries from Suxinzhai are very expensive."

"You can't play me for a fool."

"If I get angry, it'll be a real problem."

She said very seriously, "You're going to be in big trouble."

Gu Fuju looked down at her.

The little girl had her hair styled in a pretty bun, still looking quite childish, with bright and lively eyes.

Gu Fuju smiled: "Didn't you want to eat it?"

"You think I'll just buy it for me?"

Gu Fuju: "Yes."

so good?
Yaoyao: ?

She stopped and looked Gu Fuju up and down.

Her mother had told her not to trust strangers too much, especially since a pretty girl like her was the most likely target for kidnappers.

Be careful when you're out and about, and don't be fooled by people offering you something for nothing.

A new layer of wariness appeared in her eyes.

But she blinked and looked at the jade pendant at Gu Fuju's waist. The material... was even better than the one the county magistrate wore.

His straight, pine-like spine curved gently around the young girl, and Gu Fuju bent down to be level with her.

"Your name is Yaoyao, right?"

Yao Yao: "Does it sound good?"

"It sounds good."

He picked up the jade pendant: "Do you like this?" Yao Yao didn't answer.

"This fabric was a gift from my wife when we got engaged."

Yao Yao: ? ? ?
She didn't ask, did she?
She tilted her head: "So what did you give her?"

"My family was poor at that time."

Gu Fuju: "I dare not presume to be worthy of her."

"Fortunately, my father-in-law values ​​me, and she doesn't mind that I come from a poor family."

She was telling the little girl.

"At that time, I couldn't give her anything, all I could do was make a promise."

Yao Yao understood.

She even got something for nothing.

Everyone else treated her like a little girl, but when this person spoke to her, it was as if she should have known or understood.

She suddenly seemed to have grown up and couldn't help but ask, "So, are you good to her?"

Gu Fuju said gently, "I will do my best."

Yao Yao nodded, her small face revealing her precocious wisdom: "It should be like this."

"My father always said that you should treat your wife well."

She frowned: "But among the people I know, apart from my father, no other man can do it."

Yao Yao gave an example: "Old He next door to me also cheats on me."

Yes.

She still hasn't stopped smearing him to this day.

I really tried my best.

Based on this alone, Yao Yao felt that Gu Fuju didn't seem like a bad person.

Gu Fuju replied, "But I am not a good father."

"I lost her."

Yao Yao: ...

The way she looked at Gu Fuju was off.

But she doesn't know how to comfort people.

She stammered, "Oh... I see."

Quite miserable.

She tried to change the subject: "Is there something you need from my father?"

Gu Fuju: "Your parents..."

He paused slightly.

"He is my benefactor."

Yao Yao was puzzled.

How come she doesn't know.

However, she didn't dwell on it too much.

She felt that it made sense for this person to want to treat her to some snacks.

She felt a little relieved.

The girl was very busy leading the way along the busiest street in Zexian County.

She would touch the beaded flower on her head, kick a stone, look around, and even run over to the beggars on the street to inquire.

"How's business today?"

He peeked out to look at the broken bowl in the other person's hand.

Seeing that there were only a pitiful few copper coins inside, she became very worried.

"It doesn't look good."

Uncle Yan was deeply worried about this: "Our girl really..."

"We are not vigilant enough."

Today it's fine if it's the master, but what if it's someone else? The girl might be kidnapped by a villain.
Gu Fuju remained silent, his palm caressing the jade pendant given to him by Jia Shan, a pendant he had never parted with. He tried to feel the patterns on it, and before him was the lively, bouncy oriole that the couple had longed for.

I felt a peace of mind and contentment I had never experienced before.

Uncle Yan couldn't bear to see the girl heartbroken.

There was a crisp snap.

There was a piece of gold in the broken bowl.

In disbelief, the beggar kowtowed repeatedly, saying, "Thank you so much, kind sir! Thank you so much, kind sir!"

Seeing this, Yao Yao seemed to be deep in thought. She became unusually quiet and did not cause any more trouble along the way until she arrived at Suxinzhai.

The girl ran over.

She had clearly been here many times, pointing with her little hand.

"I want this, this, and this."

She turned her head and looked at the person who was going to pay his bill.

"You're not in a hurry to go to my house, are you? Can I eat in a private room on the second floor?"

Gu Fuju stood at the entrance of Suxinzhai, his gaze fixed on the government office not far away and the escort agency across the street.

Remembering what Uncle Yan had just said about the young lady not being vigilant enough, Gu Fuju was taken aback, and a gentle smile suddenly appeared in his eyes.
