Chapter 319: Nosebleeds

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Having just seen off Aunt Zhang and Shi Tou, Jin Long arrived at the Su family’s doorstep with a truck carrying the ten pigeons he had just purchased.

Su Shen had told Gu Zi that he would buy some pigeons for her to raise, so she was aware that Jin Long would be delivering pigeons in the next few days. Gu Zi didn’t go in, but waited for Jin Long to unload the birds.

Aunt Zhang hadn’t gone far when she turned back to cast a meaningful glance at the cage of pigeons that Jin Long had just unloaded from the truck.

Gu Zi felt a headache coming on. This would likely confirm Aunt Zhang’s suspicions that Su Shen was incapable!

Because Gu Zi understood that rural men often used pigeons to boost their vitality. Well, let her think what she wants.

Gu Zi opened the other side of the gate, allowing Jin Long to carry the small pigeon cage inside.

The cage for the pigeons was half the size of the larger one, but it was still spacious enough for ten pigeons.

Gu Zi instructed Jin Long to place the smaller pigeon cage next to the larger one. She then went to pour Jin Long a cup of warm water.

Jin Long took the water and gulped it down in one go. Gu Zi handed him a fragrant pear, which he accepted without hesitation, biting off half in one bite.

He said, “Gu Zi, these pigeons are a great tonic. Although it’s important for Brother Shen to regain his strength, don’t feed him too often. It can cause nosebleeds. I have to go back and handle some things, so I’ll leave first.”

With that, Jin Long quickly ran out of the yard, leaving Gu Zi alone and confused.

Gu Zi was stunned for a few seconds, then roughly understood that Jin Long probably also thought Su Shen was incapable.

Although Gu Zi didn’t understand why Jin Long and Aunt Zhang would have such thoughts, it left her at a loss for words.

To explain would seem too defensive, but not explaining would be unfair to Su Shen…

Oh well, Su Shen is a man, let him bear a bit more of the gossip. He will become stronger!

Just as Aunt Zhang and Afu returned home and were about to enter the house, they heard a few women gossiping.

“No wonder they say Su Shen is so rich, and yet Gu Zi still has to set up a stall from time to time. This woman really knows how to support her family. Her family has finally made it. They were so poor before, but marrying off a daughter has turned their fortunes around.”

“I just saw it at the station. Gu Zi was with her mother and sister-in-law, carrying big and small bags. The money they probably spent on a trip to the city could cover our grain harvest for a year. She really dares to spend! She’s probably going to drain the Su family’s wealth to support her own family, isn’t “Their luck is good, Su Shen is willing to give her the capital, and their wedding was so grand. It’s also because Su Shen doesn’t have a mother, and Su Jing has gone to the city, so Gu Zi can do whatever she wants.”

Listening to these words, the sourness of these sour cucumbers almost made Aunt Zhang’s teeth ache. What business is it of theirs how Gu Zi spent her husband’s money? They were just jealous!

Aunt Zhang immediately picked up a broom and began to sweep, deliberately raising clouds of dust, forcing the gossiping women sitting on the stone stools to stand up.

Aunt Zhang, hands on her hips, said, “Oh, I was wondering what all the buzzing was about. I thought it was flies, but it turns out you’re all here fermenting sour cucumbers. This sourness, it’s killing me!”

The Su family’s wealth wasn’t a recent development. Before Gu Zi married Su Shen, everyone could only look on with envy, as there was no target to attack or gossip about.

Now it was different. Gu Zi was a woman who had married Su Shen and was living a good life. The target for attack had appeared.

Now these women couldn’t stand to see Gu Zi buying things, and they couldn’t help but gossip at the sight.

One woman, patting the dust off her clothes, shouted, “Aunt Zhang, why are you like this? Did any of us provoke you?”

Aunt Zhang dropped the broom and snorted, “I didn’t say you provoked me. What are you so anxious about? Weren’t you just gossiping about the Su family? What, does Gu Zi have to report to you gossipy women every time she uses Su Shen’s money? Instead of living your own lives, you’re always spreading rumors behind people’s backs. If you’re so brave, go say it to Su

Shen’s face.”

If Su Shen himself really minded his wife spending money, wouldn’t he handle it himself?

These people only dared to defame behind their backs, but didn’t dare to instigate in front of Su Shen.. Weren’t they clear that Su Shen was willing to spoil his wife? Weren’t these gossipy women just afraid of offending Su Shen?
