The Challenge of a Farmhouse Son-in-Law
Chapter 202 - 201: Worse Than a Dog

Chapter 202: Chapter 201: Worse Than a Dog

Such a large amount, this truly constitutes a big business deal!

The eager smiling face welcomed her with continuous affirmatives, "Yes, dear guest, rest assured, our Fulai Restaurant is famous in Qingshui Town for its cleanliness, and our dishes are all exceptionally tasty!"

Yue Rujing nodded and said, "That’s good, go ahead then!"

Gu Youyou, inside the room, understood the conversation outside and realized why there had been no movement when she was eating; it seemed Yue Rujing had anticipated that she wouldn’t offer him food, so he had made arrangements beforehand.

After closing the courtyard door, Yue Rujing entered the house with his food box, beaming with joy.

Upon seeing Abao carelessly sitting in his own spot (or so he believed), his mood instantly soured.

"Hey, hey, cousin-in-law, can’t you let the dog eat in its own place? What kind of practice is it to let a dog sit on a stool to eat?"

Gu Youyou, smiling, lifted her head to look at him and said, "But this is Abao’s spot!"

Yue Rujing: "..."

He was somewhat choked up with frustration, "Then where is my spot? Where do I sit to eat? He’s in my place."

Damn it, the dining table wasn’t small, yet there were only two stools. One for Gu Youyou, one for Abao, and he could only stand.

Gu Youyou, amusing herself internally, pointed with her chopsticks towards the outside and said, "The courtyard is quite spacious, please yourself!"

"Outside?" Yue Rujing incredulously glanced at the courtyard, his expression uglier than ever.

"You’re asking me to eat in the courtyard? That should be where your dog belongs, shouldn’t it?"

Gu Youyou snorted with laughter, gazing at him suggestively, without saying a word.

He seemed to realize he had made an unfortunate remark, trapping himself, his face changing from green to white, quite amusing to behold.

"Am I worse than a dog?"

He had lived for so many years and never once been treated like this; in Gu Youyou’s eyes, he was clearly less important than the dog named Abao.

Moreover, this dog wasn’t of a pure bloodline, a mongrel less than a dog itself.

Gu Youyou scoffed, "This is my house. I didn’t invite you here. If you insist on subjecting yourself to misery, who’s to blame?"

A moment later, Yue Rujing suddenly realized Gu Youyou’s actions were simply her way of trying to get rid of him.

Upon this thought, he suddenly felt at ease.

Heh, she thinks these little tricks can drive him away? Not so easy.

Persistent harassment was always Yue Rujing’s forte. He didn’t believe Gu Youyou could be more difficult than the old Taoist in Sanqing Hall.

"Fine, I’ll change places, make room for Abao. I can’t be bickering with a dog, can I? Right, cousin-in-law?"

Having said that, he hummed a tune and nonchalantly carried the food box into the study.

Fortunately, the study table was not only large but also clean, and it even had a stool!

Gu Youyou swallowed the food in her mouth, gritting her teeth in irritation.

Not bicker with a dog? It seems he had used her own tactics against her and outmaneuvered her once again.

The innocent Abao, having finished his meal, looked at Gu Youyou with his amber-colored eyes.

Why drag me into your mutual sarcasm?

It appears the word ’dog’ is often met with disdain.

...

Perhaps because a strange man was staying in the study opposite, Gu Youyou was restless at heart and couldn’t sleep well until she heard a series of urgent knocking at the courtyard gate late at night.

Gu Youyou rolled out of bed, quickly dressed, put on her shoes, and opened the door.

Yue Rujing from the study across hadn’t come out; of course, he was also vigilant, keeping an eye on the movement outside.

"Who is it?" Gu Youyou gripped the stick in her hand and stared warily at the door.
