My spirit appeared on the road to exile, and I was treated as an ancestor.

Chapter 92 Still hoping to get married!
Gu Xingzhao noticed that no matter how strong Lu Xingyan's inner reaction was, his face remained calm and composed.

She was very satisfied with this. Apart from health issues, where else could she find such a perfect person?

After reading the letter, Lu Xingyan silently put the bamboo tube into the cloth bag given to him by his ancestors, then hung it on his body and kept it close to his skin.

He understood the importance of this item. If they were to encounter another ambush like before, this might be the thing that saved their lives. The fact that the ancestor entrusted this item to him showed that he trusted the ancestor.

Although he felt that this matter should be left to his nephew, after all, his nephew had always been doing things for his father and ancestors.

Lu Xingyan's gaze fell on his nephew, who was not far away.
"Brother, please give me one piece!"

Watching her older brother eat alone, Lu Youtang's mouth watered.

Lu Xingyao covered his sister's forehead with his hand, quickly stuffed the chocolate into his mouth, and said in a muffled voice, "Grandfather said you're fat, and you'll definitely get scolded if you eat this. I, as your older brother, will take the blame for you!"

Seeing her brother's righteous and self-righteous attitude, Lu Youtang was so angry that she wanted to hit him.

Seeing this, Lu Xingyan remained silent for a long time, as if he understood why his ancestor had chosen him instead of his nephew.

Our ancestors said that this thing should only be used when there is danger, and should not be shown to anyone unless there is a problem.

Given his nephew's adoration for his ancestors, the entire Lu family would probably know before he even saw the letter that he had once again received the blessings of his ancestors and what he had gained.
The next day, Gu Xingzhao got up early, tidied up, and opened the supermarket for business.

There are more customers in the morning, and while they're buying things, I often end up chatting with her.

"Xiao Gu, I heard your dad came to see you the other day with his wife and kids?" Aunt Yang from the next street, her face full of gossip, didn't even leave after paying the bill, chasing after Gu Xingzhao to ask about it.

You should know that the news of Gu Chengzhang bringing his men to find Gu Xingzhao spread throughout the entire town on the very day it happened, and most of the people knew about it and discussed it for several days.

Gu Xingzhao smiled and said, "Aunt Yang is joking. I don't have a father. He died more than ten years ago."

Her tone was indifferent. Aunt Yang was taken aback for a moment, chuckled twice, and left with her things.

As soon as she stepped out of the supermarket, she chatted with a few old acquaintances, "I just asked Xiao Gu about his dad, and guess what she said?"

The older women were all curious, "What did she say?"

Aunt Yang squinted and said, "She said she doesn't have a father; he died more than ten years ago!"

Everyone exclaimed, "My God!"

"This person is still alive and well, and she's cursing her own father like this?"

"Although Gu Chengzhang is a scoundrel, he's still her biological son. How could she say that?"

"He probably holds a grudge against his own father. After all, when Grandpa Gu was in the hospital, his father didn't even go to visit him. He probably didn't even give Gu's living expenses later."

"No way, I heard that Gu Chengzhang paid child support back then and even wanted to take Xiao Gu away, but Xiao Gu refused and wouldn't go."

Aunt Yang nodded repeatedly, "That's what I heard too!"

I don't know if it's true or not, otherwise I wouldn't have asked Xiao Gu today.

"No matter what, he's still her father. Fathers and daughters don't hold grudges overnight. To curse your own father to die early like that is too cruel."

"That's right. If a young lady holds such a grudge, she'll probably have a hard time getting married in the future."

Aunt Yang: "Anyway, I definitely won't let my son find a wife like this. She's obviously not a filial daughter." The people next to her complimented, "Your clothes were bought by your son, right? I heard they're brand name, really expensive, several thousand yuan. I'm so envious of you!"

Aunt Yang sighed, "What's there to envy? His father and I are still saying he's wasting money. We parents are already this old, we don't need brand names. We're just happy if our child can get married soon and bring a wife home to take care of him, and have a healthy baby boy!"

With a "splashing" sound, water mixed with flour was splashed on the ground, soaking several people, especially Aunt Wang, whose brand-name clothes worth several thousand yuan were mostly wet.

Aunt Yang was furious. She glared at Aunt Wang, the one who started it all, still holding the bucket of water in her hand. "Wang Ruohua, are you trying to get yourself killed?!"

The people around were also angry and chimed in, "You've splashed us all over, are you just looking for trouble!"

Aunt Wang scoffed, "Oh, so you all know you're just looking for trouble? I thought you were just gossiping about other people's family matters!"

Aunt Yang was furious. She had been very careful with this outfit, even washing it without daring to rub it too hard for fear of ruining it. Now someone had dirtied it. She immediately pointed at Aunt Wang and yelled, "This outfit is a brand-name item that my son bought for me! Wang Ruohua, you have to pay me back today!"

Aunt Wang found it amusing. "I'm just pouring water in front of my house, and you're all standing there chattering away, blocking my business. And you have the nerve to ask me for money?"

Aunt Yang's face darkened: "If you don't pay me back today, I'm not leaving!"

I want to see how Wang Ruohua will do business!
Aunt Wang put down the bucket, put her hands on her hips, and wasn't afraid at all. "Sure! Let's go to the police station to reason with them and see what the police have to say when we pull up the surveillance footage!"

Just as Aunt Yang was about to reply, she was pulled back by the people next to her. Upon hearing that it was the police station, no one wanted to cause trouble.

"Forget it, let's go. Let's not bother with this kind of person."

Aunt Yang was furious. How could she just let it go when her own clothes were dirty?

The older woman next to her whispered, "Don't forget that most of the people at that police station are familiar with Xiao Gu."

"Yes, my daughter still has to go to work at the institute after the New Year."

Especially Lu Su, who is Old Master Gu's apprentice and treats Gu Xingzhao like his own daughter. If the surveillance footage is really pulled out and people find out that they are talking about Xiao Gu behind her back, who knows how much trouble it will cause.

Aunt Yang's son is successful and works in the city, but her son and daughter are not so lucky and are still making a living in the town. They don't want to offend her, so they'll just consider it a loss and it's not a big deal.

Seeing that one or two of them had backed down and left, not intending to pursue the matter, Aunt Yang cursed inwardly for being spineless.

Seeing Wang Ruohua's smug look, she sneered twice, "Wang Ruohua, my son has a good job in the city, earning over 100,000 yuan a year. What do you have? Just this run-down shop selling dumplings. With a mother like you, what future can your son have!"

"Remember this, I'm not going to argue with a shrew like you today!"

As she was about to leave, Aunt Wang picked up the remaining half-bucket of flour water and splashed it out—splash!

Aunt Yang was soaked to the bone.

"Oh, you can't compare to your precious son. He has five older sisters to support, and his annual salary is only a few hundred thousand!"

Aunt Wang's shout was loud enough for everyone in the supermarket to hear, and they all rushed out to see what was happening. Gu Xingzhao also came out, only to see Aunt Wang carrying a bucket of water, glaring at Aunt Yang, who had been splashed with water, and making sarcastic remarks.

"Everyone in this town knows that your son Yaozu drained his five older sisters of their blood before he could buy a small house in the city. He's ugly as a clumsy man, and he still expects to get married!"

"What girl would be blind enough to marry into your family!"

Gu Xingzhao stood there stunned. Did Aunt Wang have such a good speaking ability?

The second update is here!
