The Hunter's Lively Wife-Chapter 2069: Anxiety

Gu Tiezhu was worried that people from the gambling house would break his hands and feet. After Mrs. An went to find Gu Ya, Gu Tiezhu was as anxious as an ant on a hot pan, waiting for news.

Fearing that Gu Ya would refuse to help him pay off his debts, he finally waited for Mrs. An to come back. Gu Tiezhu impatiently asked Mrs. An, "Mother, mother, how did it go? How did it go? Did Third Brother agree? Did Third Brother agree to help me pay off my debt?"

"Old Fourth, your Third Brother has sent someone to talk to the gambling house. They promised not to break your hands and feet," Mrs. An said.

Gu Tiezhu felt joy in his heart, "That’s great, that’s great. Mother, does this mean that Third Brother agreed to help me pay off my debt?"

Gu Tiezhu knew that Third Brother wouldn’t really ignore him. After all, they were born of the same mother; they were real brothers. How could Gu Ya not help him?

The heart that had been hanging in the air for so long finally rested upon hearing Mrs. An’s words. However, Mrs. An then told him, "Old Fourth, although your Third Brother has talked to the gambling house, he hasn’t agreed to pay off your debt. The people from the gambling house only promised not to break your hands and feet; they didn’t say you don’t have to pay the debt."

"Wh... what...?" Gu Tiezhu felt like he had suddenly fallen from the sky into the abyss. What did his mother mean by this?

Does this mean he still needs to pay the gambling house’s debt himself? Didn’t Third Brother already agree to help him? Why didn’t he help him pay off the money too? "Mother, Third Brother is so rich now. Four hundred taels is nothing to him. With all his money, how come he won’t help me pay it off? Mother, Third Brother listens to you the most. Please ask him to help me pay the money!"

Gu Tiezhu pleaded with Mrs. An. If Gu Ya didn’t help him pay off the debt, how could he possibly have the means to pay the gambling house himself?

Mrs. An’s heart softened. Seeing Gu Tiezhu covered in injuries made her feel even more sympathetic towards him.

"Alright, Old Fourth, you should just focus on recovering from your injuries now. I will try to persuade your Third Brother to help with the debt," Mrs. An said.

Gu Tiezhu felt a sense of happiness and repeatedly said, "Mother, please hurry, you must persuade Third Brother quickly."

...

Gu Tiezhu was seriously injured, needing help even with eating and drinking. Xiaoshan and Xiangxiang’s mother had run away, so there wasn’t a woman to take care of her son. Mrs. An had to do everything herself.

Because Mrs. An had to take care of her son, Gu Tiezhu, it was impossible for her to move to Gu Ya’s residence within one or two months. All her clothes and belongings had been moved to Gu Ya’s house. Now, with Gu Tiezhu’s situation, Mrs. An, for convenience in changing clothes, had Gu Jianghai go to Su Yunjin’s house to help her move her luggage back.

Su Yunjin had the maids move Mrs. An’s luggage to the North Courtyard. When Gu Jianghai came to move her belongings, Su Yunjin immediately instructed the servants to help Gu Jianghai move Mrs. An’s items back.

Today, Gu Jianghai drove the cart himself. After loading all of Mrs. An’s things onto the carriage, he didn’t stay long. After moving Mrs. An’s belongings back, Gu Jianghai still had to pick up his wife, Mrs. Chu, and their daughter, Aluo.

Mrs. Chu had taken their daughter back to her parent’s home, and today Gu Jianghai was going to bring both Mrs. Chu and their daughter back.

Su Yunjin made several pearl bracelets yesterday. She gave two to Second Sister and kept two for herself. The remaining one was given to Gu Jianghai for him to take to his sister-in-law, Mrs. Chu.

After Gu Jianghai left, Su Yunjin suddenly received a letter. The person who delivered the letter did not leave a name and left immediately after delivering it.
