The Hunter's Lively Wife-Chapter 2065: Resolution

Gu Ya was busy with Gu Tiezhu’s affair. In the afternoon, to help Gu Tiezhu save his legs, Gu Ya specifically went to find an acquaintance, Shopkeeper Cao, who had connections with the gambling house. Gu Ya asked Shopkeeper Cao to speak to the gambling house to ensure they wouldn’t cripple Gu Tiezhu’s hands and legs.

This matter was minor. Shopkeeper Cao and the owner of the gambling house were sworn brothers, so as soon as Gu Ya mentioned it, Shopkeeper Cao assured him he would handle it properly.

The matter proceeded very smoothly, and Gu Tiezhu’s hands and legs were temporarily spared. The gambling house did Shopkeeper Cao a favor by agreeing not to harm Gu Tiezhu’s hands and feet, but they still insisted on Gu Tiezhu repaying the debt he owed.

As for repaying the debt, Gu Ya didn’t care, as long as Gu Tiezhu’s hands and feet were safe. He couldn’t manage everything else; this was Gu Tiezhu’s own doing, and he needed to bear some hardship.

After being shocked by Gu Tiezhu, Mrs. An fainted, taking nearly two days to recover. When Gu Chengxiang heard about Gu Tiezhu’s situation, he was furious and grabbed a cane, intending to punish Gu Tiezhu, but Mrs. An hurriedly stepped in to stop him.

"Oh dear, his father, don’t hit him anymore. You see, Tiezhu is already hanging by a thread. If you hit him again, what good will it do? Xiaoshan and Xiangxiang still need their father to take care of them! You don’t want Xiaoshan and Xiangxiang to lose their father, do you?"

Mrs. An blocked him, while Gu Tiezhu kept begging, "Father, I’m wrong, I’m wrong, your son is wrong. Father, both Third Brother and Fifth Brother refuse to help me. If I can’t repay the silver, the gambling house people will chop off my hands and feet. Father, Third Brother and Fifth Brother always listen to you the most. Father, please help me persuade them to help me just this once?"

"Chop them off, just right, chop them so you know how to behave." Gu Chengxiang snorted angrily, and seeing Gu Tiezhu covered in wounds, he couldn’t be bothered to look at him, turning around and leaving the room.

Gu Tiezhu again pleaded with Mrs. An, "Mother, Mother, if I can’t repay the money those people won’t spare me, what should I do? What should I do? Mother, I don’t want my hands and feet chopped off. Mother, go, go persuade Third Brother, he will definitely listen to you."

Gu Tiezhu was scared out of his wits, and Mrs. An responded impatiently, "All right, all right, don’t worry about this anymore. Leave it to Mother, I know what to do. All you need to do now is focus on healing your injuries."

That night, Mrs. Chu had an argument with Gu Jianghai over Gu Tiezhu’s matter, and in frustration, she left with their daughter to her parent’s house. Gu Jianghai also regretted not knowing whether it was right or wrong to have helped Gu Tiezhu.

Mrs. An hurriedly took Gu Jianghai to the town to find her son. Su Yunjin had just put the two kids to sleep and was tiredly returning to her room. Before she could rest, her maid said Mrs. An and Gu Jianghai had arrived and were waiting in the side hall. Su Yunjin knew they must have come about Gu Tiezhu, so Gu Ya said, "Yunjin, I’ll go to the side hall to see them, you can rest since you’ve had a long day. I’ll go see Mother and Fifth Brother, and come back soon."

Su Yunjin indeed didn’t plan to see Mrs. An at the moment, so she let Gu Ya go, nodded, and said, "Husband, you go ahead. I’ll wait for you to come back, and then we can sleep together."

What Su Yunjin said was quite natural, not finding anything wrong with it. However, Gu Ya’s expression suddenly changed.

He stared at her intently.

"Yunjin, are you sure?"
