Chapter 218: Chapter 218 Wives Sing, Husbands Follow

He smiled as he took the large cloth bag from Jin Zijin’s hands, which contained the game he had caught today.

Qin Changlin looked at Gu Youyou with amazement and asked, "Is he also a relative of yours?"

"Ex-husband!" Gu Youyou said with no good humor.

Jin Zijin had a pair of small rabbits in the pouch of his lower garment, their gray and white fur so small, just about the size of Jin Zijin’s fist.

After handing over the goods to Yue Rujing, he went straight to Gu Youyou’s side, grabbed a rabbit in one hand, and said, "Today I found a rabbit nest. Seeing how this pair of rabbits is really small with not much meat, I didn’t kill them. Do you think we should raise them a bit more before eating, or should we sell them alive?"

Irritated by the thought of eating such small creatures, Gu Youyou said, "Naturally, we’ll raise them first." She took the two rabbits and then instructed Yue Rujing, who was checking the game, to make a nest for the rabbits, all without a hint of discord.

Qin Changlin was completely baffled by this.

Is he really an ex-husband? Why does it seem like their relationship isn’t bad? At least, it hasn’t fallen apart.

Jin Zijin washed his hands and said to Qin Changlin with a smile, "You must be the doctors from Jisheng Hall, right? I’ve heard about you from Youyou."

"Uh, yes...?"

"This must be your first time meeting me. I am Youyou’s husband. I used to live in Lotus Village as well. Following my wife’s lead, I moved to town after she did."

Following my wife’s lead?

"Ah, we’ve had a good haul today. Why don’t you stay for dinner?"

Qin Changlin shook his head like a rattle drum, saying, "No, no, we can’t. Jisheng Hall can’t do without us. We must go back now. We’ll bother you another day when we have time."

Gu Youyou is too complicated, and so are the people around her. Can’t make heads or tails of it, can’t make heads or tails of it!!

"Two rabbits, a roe deer, and a bird of an unknown species, as well as a rather large wild chicken," Gu Youyou muttered to herself while checking the game.

After inspecting them, she turned to Jin Zijin and said, "There’s so much here, we can’t finish it all by ourselves. Should we sell some? We can’t keep it in this weather."

However, Jin Zijin suggested, "Let’s not sell them. What we can’t eat, we can preserve with salt and it will last longer."

"Oh, whatever!"

...

After dinner, Yue Rujing suddenly invited Jin Zijin to take a stroll by the river to aid digestion, leaving a pile of bowls and dishes for Gu Youyou to deal with.

Which really irritated her.

Two grown men taking a stroll by the river under the moonlight, is that possible? They must be using it as an excuse to avoid her, up to no good, sneaking around as if nobody can tell.

"Abao, you’ve eaten quite a lot tonight too. Go on, join them for the stroll," she commanded.

"Hey! How can we take a dog with us? That would be dog-walking."

Jin Zijin patted his shoulder and said, "Let’s go together. Abao indeed needs to aid his digestion."

Now that Jin Zijin had spoken, Yue Rujing could only nod reluctantly.

With the Qingshui River bank being desolate, Gu Youyou wanted to follow and eavesdrop, but lacking Jin Ziyuan’s skill at moving unnoticed, she was discovered as soon as she approached the riverside.

Luckily, she was carrying a bucket, providing her with the perfect excuse that she was there to fetch water.

Under the willow tree on the other side of the river, Jin Zijin called out loudly, "Youyou, where are you putting the bucket? I’ll bring the water back in a bit."

That was exactly her intent.

Gu Youyou left the bucket behind and returned home.

Once Gu Youyou was out of sight, Yue Rujing continued, "The news of Doctor Zhou’s death has been leaked, and it was their doing. They killed Doctor Zhou and then led Xuanzong’s people here, aiming to kill two birds with one stone. Xuanzong’s people will think it was our doing, and I expect they will send someone soon. Brother, what’s your plan?"
