Reborn as the Blissful Wife in the countryside-Chapter 996: Lv Bai Working a Job

Before deciding to be with him, she had thought it over for a long time, almost considering all the possible difficulties they might face in the future.

"So don’t worry, no matter the outcome, I can handle it." She raised her hand, pinched his cheek, and said, "Stop saying sorry all the time; you’re starting to sound like a resentful man. It’s really annoying, be happy."

As she said this, she tugged at his face and found that Brother Qin’s cheek was quite firm, not easy to pull.

Qin San Lang had his cheek tugged by her but didn’t feel any pain. He only felt her soft hand with a warmth that comforted his heart.

He understood her meaning and didn’t say any more sentimental words. He stood up, walked over to her, and gently embraced her, holding her tightly.

"Grandpa once said that I’m blessed with a good wife, and he was absolutely right."

Being able to marry Xiao Yu was the greatest blessing of his life.

Gu Jinli laughed upon hearing this, raised her hands to hug his waist, leaned against him, and just as she was about to feel moved, she heard a burst of exclamation: "Shameless, absolutely shameless! Granny Gu certainly lives up to the name of a poisonous woman, coming up with such a method to seduce Young Master Lai. She must have learned every trick from the brothel!"

"That’s not all, her tricks are even more impressive than those in the brothel. That one move with the inverted dragon waist, the girls in the brothel can’t even do that."

Gu Jinli was shocked. What were these people talking about? Is this what the prologue of the storybook meant by stating it’s detailed?

Oh heavens, it’s indeed detailed. I have to listen to this!

Gu Jinli was excited and tried to push Qin San Lang away to listen carefully, but Qin San Lang covered her ears: "You can’t listen to this, you’ll become corrupted."

Once they are married, she’ll naturally understand everything.

Gu Jinli was frustrated, desperately wanting to listen, but with Qin San Lang covering her ears, all she could hear was laughter, unable to grasp what Ke Yuli was saying.

Once Qin San Lang let go, the details were missing, and all she heard was a clang, the sound of a copper gong striking from the hall downstairs.

Ke Yuli shouted with spitting words: "Liu Shiliu truly is a world-famous poisonous woman. Even though she is as ugly as a pig, she managed to accomplish good things with Young Master Lai. After Elderly Mrs. Lai found out, she vomited blood on the spot wanting to sell Liu Shiliu. But Young Master Lai, under the spell of this poisonous woman, threatened to castrate himself to force Elderly Mrs. Lai to keep Liu Shiliu, allowing her to continue to reign at the Lai Family..."

Gu Jinli: "They’ve turned this Three-surname Poisonous Woman gossip into a fantasy drama."

Incredible, it’s amazing they even brought up confusion techniques; they might as well say Granny Gu is Su Daji reincarnated.

Qin San Lang laughed, asked her, "Shall we switch to another story?" 𝐟𝕣𝗲𝕖𝕨𝗲𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝗲𝚕.𝗰𝚘𝐦

He continued, "There is a good one called ’Young Master Gu Cuts Off Finger to Repay Evil Father’, about Uncle Dashan."

Gu Jinli had heard Xiao Ji talk about it, saying it’s very touching, and the rich old ladies in the Prefecture specifically invite storytellers home to narrate this story, reportedly crying their eyes out.

After crying, they start scolding their own old men, making those sixty to seventy-year-old elders not dare to return to the main courtyard. Some elders are forced to promise not to favor the concubine’s children and to leave eighty percent of their family wealth to the legitimate descendants.

In short, because of this story ’Young Master Gu Cuts Off Finger to Repay Evil Father’, many original wives in the Prefecture had pretty good days.

The elders who found new lovers late in life, and their concubines’ days, however, were not as pleasant, especially the concubines who, when walking around the mansion, were gossiped about by the servants.

Gu Jinli shook her head: "No, let’s just listen to this one. We spent silver coins on it."

Qin San Lang laughed, "No need to worry about the money; though we have many expenses, we can still afford these three hundred taels of silver."

He added, "At the fishing village, following your drawings and instruction booklets, they’ve gained a lot of good things. Also, as you suggested, they’ve salted various fish into dried goods and stored them. In a while, a batch will be transported over, and once you’ve seen it, we’ll transport it to the manors along the official road to store them."

They need food, and dried fish and seafood are considered meat provisions; if stored well, they won’t spoil for years, which is something they need.

Gu Jinli was very happy to hear this: "It’s good that things are progressing smoothly."

Having said that, Qin San Lang began serving her food while saying, "Next time, I’ll take you to see the fishing village."

Xiao Yu is his future wife; she should know everything about him.

Gu Jinli took a bite of the fragrant braised beef and said, "Sure, but not recently. We’ll have to formally get engaged when we return, and Big Brother still has to attend the college examination. The land in Prefecture and Old Lady Zhou’s place on the outskirts is set to begin building homes, new medicinal herbs need to be planted; otherwise, we won’t catch up this year... there’s also Grandpa Qin’s smithing business."

Gu Jinli was listing out the tasks ahead, each one important, especially the smithing business.

Over the years, Grandpa Qin has never been idle; the pig iron bought by Gu Jin’an has been transformed into weapons in his hands.

Qin San Lang was very grateful to Elder Qin. Even though Elder Qin got into trouble, given his stature, he could have retired to the Capital to be taken care of. Yet Grandpa, to save him and his second brother, pretended to die with them. Henceforth, there was no longer the legendary Marquis of Ping Shan, General He, in Great Chu.

Seeing her list the tasks, Qin San Lang felt a bit heartbroken, stopped her and said, "No need to worry about these; I will find people to help Grandpa. Today’s work is done, so you should have a good meal, and later I’ll take you for a stroll. Let’s have fun before heading back."

"Alright!" Gu Jinli replied happily, enjoying the food he served while listening to Ke Yuli telling a story.

But every time she got to an exciting part, with details, Qin San Lang would cover her ears, making Gu Jinli very upset, glaring at him in protest, but he never let go.

Except for those ah-ah-ah details she missed, she did hear many exciting segments, in awe of Ke Yuli, the storyteller.

Amazing indeed, to be able to come up with such stories. Estimate that given a gourd, they could create a Gourd Dynasty.

"Yuan Jiaman looked at Granny Gu, his eyes were transfixed, thinking this woman is indeed enthralling and charming, truly the number one vixen; he even wants to marry her without any silver given by Young Master Lai..."

Gu Jinli: "..."

Earlier, weren’t you saying Granny Gu was as ugly as a pig? And now she’s suddenly mesmerizing like a vixen?

However, the guests in the hall listened with relish, exclaiming loudly: "The poisonous woman’s confusion technique is powerful, yet another good young man has fallen. Hey, could it be that Elder Gu married Granny Gu because he was also captivated by her confusion technique?"

"Naturally, otherwise, with Granny Gu’s face full of black spots and wrinkles, who could she possibly enchant?"

Ke Yuli: "Ladies and gentlemen, please keep quiet; this Three-surname Poisonous Woman is the reincarnation of a pig demon trapped in Heaven, so her confusion technique being strong is to be expected. Now listen carefully as I continue to detail the exciting aspects."

Pfft!

Gu Jinli almost burst out laughing; this Mister Ke is truly a master of storytelling. Look how his words got the guests so excited they could howl.

However, Gu Jinli didn’t continue to listen, saying to Qin San Lang: "Let’s pay the bill and leave."

Qin San Lang nodded, asked Erqing to settle the bill, and led Gu Jinli away. As they passed the private room by the stairs, a serving tray flew out from inside.

With a clatter, the tray fell to the ground, spinning like a top before coming to a complete stop.
