Chapter 39

Xu Ying didn't know what Gu Zhilai was up to.

"sister in law?"

Yang Ergou didn't know when he came over, he was standing at Xu Ying, looking at Xu Ying with a smile.

Xu Ying looked back after hearing the sound, and felt more and more that Yang Ergou must not be from this era, but what happened to him also wearing books?

Before getting a definite answer, Xu Ying would not take the initiative to ask. Who knows if it is an enemy or a friend, there is no harm in being on guard.

"Let me ask you something." Xu Ying remembered the matter of building the house, so why not ask quickly while this meeting is in progress.

Yang Ergou looked at the wall, lit a cigarette, white smoke curled up, blocked his expression, and asked slowly: "What's the matter?"

"Where did Gu Zhi get the money to build the house?" Xu Ying didn't bother to play tricks on him, so she asked directly.

Yang Ergou chuckled, exhaled a puff of smoke, looked at Gu Zhilai's figure busy with the workers, and said thoughtfully, "It's what you think in your heart."

Xu Ying didn't understand what Yang Ergou meant at the beginning, but then she realized, "Did he lend you money?"

"Yes, and no." Yang Ergou's answer was ambiguous.

"What's right and wrong? If you borrow it, you borrow it." Xu Yingyue really couldn't understand Yang Ergou.

Yang Ergou exhaled a mouthful of cloudy smoke, "I have to leave sooner or later. I can't spend the money here. If I don't bring it with me when I die, I don't take it with me when I die. Even if I gave it to him, how can it be regarded as a loan? Miss Xu , are you right?"

At the sound of Miss Xu, Xu Ying's eyes widened, and she looked at Yang Ergou, wanting to step into the icy sea water, which made her hair stand on end.

"You...you, aren't you..." She stammered and asked.

"The secret must not be revealed." Yang Ergou showed an inscrutable smile, as if he was the master of all things.

The sun shone on half of Yang Ergou's face, and the other half was hidden in dark shadows. He was clearly smiling, but Xu Ying felt that his smile was terrifying.

"Who the hell are you? How can I leave? What's going on?" Xu Ying asked three times, feeling depressed.

"Why are you here?" Gu Zhilai's voice interrupted Xu Ying's words. He held a water bottle in his hand and handed it to Xu Ying to signal her to drink some water, but his eyes were looking at Yang Ergou.

Xu Ying took the kettle, but did not move for a long time. Seeing Yang Ergou and Gu Zhilai hooking shoulders together like good brothers, she felt lingering fear in her heart.

For Gu Zhilai, the protagonist of this world, what is Yang Ergou's identity to accompany him? Could it be that he is simply a person who helps fuel the flames on the road to success?

She didn't think it could be that simple.

"The furniture will be delivered in a few days, don't forget to pick it up." Yang Ergou reminded Gu Zhilai, lest he forget.

Gu Zhilai nodded, and the two stood aside smoking a cigarette, "I see, I'm going to the city in a while, so my wife will ask you to take care of me."

Yang Ergou looked back at Xu Ying who was standing not far away, and found that she was staring at him.

Take care of Xu Ying?

He thought it was unnecessary.

How can a person from the 21st century be bullied by someone from the [-]th century?

"Zhilai, do you know this sentence?" Yang Ergou looked away, "It's better than dumplings, and more fun than sister-in-law."

Gu Zhilai clamped Yang Ergou's neck, and the two were fighting under the tree, "You have too little confidence in me, my own wife, don't I know her?"

Xu Ying looked at Gu Zhilai with Yang Ergou carelessly, and became more and more worried. She knew Yang Ergou's identity, and logically speaking, it should be a fellow villager meeting a fellow villager, with tears in their eyes.

But she didn't feel this kind of feeling at all, she only felt terror, something strange, which made her want to run away.

It took half a month to build the house, and Xu Ying didn't know how much Gu Zhilai spent.

When she walked into the house, she seemed to be back in the 21st century in a trance. Except for the absence of electrical equipment, the decoration style of the house was completely in accordance with the modern style.

The floor is also paved with ceramic tiles, and there are white sofas, and even the windows are made of sliding stainless steel glass.

Gu Zhilai looked at Xu Ying standing at the door and didn't come in, his eyes seemed to be red, and his heart tightened.

This is completely different from what Yang Ergou said. He clearly said that Xu Ying would be happy to see such a decoration. Not only did she not have a happy expression, but she even cried?
Although, he didn't quite understand what makes this kind of decoration look so good, especially with such expensive and hard-to-find tiles, he thought it would surprise Xu Ying.

"Daughter-in-law, don't you like it?" Gu Zhilai stood in front of Xu Ying and asked cautiously.

With tears in the corners of Xu Ying's eyes, she shook her head, threw herself into Gu Zhilai's arms, and burst into tears. She knew that this must be Yang Ergou's suggestion to Gu Zhilai.

Otherwise, how could he, a man of the 21th century, know what a house in the [-]st century would look like.

Gu Zhilai was flattered to be thrown into Xu Ying's arms suddenly, but he would be happier if the person in his arms didn't cry.

"Gu Zhilai, thank you, I like it very much!" Xu Ying answered his question in a muffled voice.

Gu Zhilai breathed a sigh of relief, and stroked Xu Ying's back with his big hands, "I was scared to death, I thought you didn't like it, Yang Ergou is well-informed, he said that people in the city are like this I'm afraid you won't be able to accept it for decorating the house."

As for why Xu Ying was crying, she just felt a little homesick for a while. Although she had a good life here, she didn't have a sense of belonging after all, and she didn't dare to put in too much effort.

One day, if she suddenly finds that she is back in her own body after sleeping, she will definitely go crazy.

Now that the house was built, they were about to move, but on the day when they were about to move, Wang Lanmei, who had been quiet and never found fault, couldn't sit still.

"Stop, both of you!" Wang Lanmei watched Gu Zhilai and Xu Ying pack up their things and prepare to move out, and blocked their way, blocking the gate of the yard.

"Mother?" Gu Zhilai looked at Wang Lanmei in confusion, wondering what she meant.

"You still know that I'm your mother!" Wang Lanmei glared at Gu Zhilai, "You built a new house, shouldn't you take me in?"

A few days ago, Wang Lanmei secretly went to see the new house. The small two-story house was comfortable and tidy. It was much better than the dilapidated yard she lives in now, and she immediately became envious.

But she saw that there were three rooms in the house, two children slept in one, and the husband and wife slept in one, which happened to be empty.

"Mother, why are you living with us?" Gu Zhilai didn't expect Wang Lanmei to make such an unreasonable request, and was immediately disappointed.
