Chapter 197: Vent My Spleen To Enjoy My Engagement (4)
Gu Qingyao’s eyes lit up!
When he saw his girl’s eyes finally brighten, he could not help but pat her head. This girl. Why was she so happy to hear they were going to do bad things?
Mo Beihan said, “Today, Old Madam Li is alone. I’ll bring you there when it gets dark. As for the others, we’ll take things slowly. We can take revenge on anyone, but we must remember to first protect ourselves.”
Gu Qingyao nodded vigorously, looking particularly virtuous. “I know, I know. I’ll be very good!”
Mo Beihan raised his brows. Good?
He felt that this girl was getting more and more outrageous!
But he liked it. She was so adorable like that!
Sure enough, Mo Beihan sought her out at twilight. Gu Qingyao immediately wanted to go off with him.
“Where are the two of you going?” Gu Jinlin’s voice suddenly rang out.
Gu Qingyao glanced at Mo Beihan. Neither of them replied.
Gu Jinlin came nearer and said, “It’s almost dark, why are you bringing her out? Do you know that the news of your engagement has spread and a lot of people are discussing the both of you right now?”
He gave Mo Beihan a hostile look.
Mo Beihan rubbed his nose and thought he might as well be direct. “Yao Yao is upset that her younger aunt was bullied. I can tell she’s been suppressing her anger, so I’m bringing her to vent her spleen! We’re getting engaged soon, I don’t want her to be holding all that anger in during our engagement.”
Gu Jinlin was startled. He immediately narrowed his eyes. “Are you going to beat her up?”
If they were going under the cover of darkness, it was probably nothing good.
Mo Beihan nodded.
Gu Jinlin immediately said, “I want to come too!”
Mo Beihan smiled and said, “Don’t come. The two of us can manage.”
Although he spoke normally, Gu Jinlin felt that this fellow was secretly gloating. What was he gloating over?
Gu Jinlin was displeased and said, “She’s my younger aunt, of course I must take part!”
Mo Beihan continued smiling and said, “Actually, why don’t you walk around the brigade now. Chat with someone around a fire, or go visit the brigade leader’s family. Show your face!”
What a joke. Yao Yao has her interspace. It would be too troublesome to bring you!
Gu Jinlin understood Mo Beihan’s meaning.
Old Madam Li and the others were extremely unreasonable. They were especially good at pestering others endlessly.
If they beat her up today, she might blame it on the Gu family. If he went to show his face now, and his grandfather and younger uncle were still working in the cowshed, it would show that there was no one in the Gu family who was capable of doing such a thing.
As for Mo Beihan, he was not a member of the Gu family. It was unlikely that people would think of him.
Gu Jinlin had no choice, so he agreed reluctantly.
He frowned as he looked at the vanishing figures of Mo Beihan and his cousin. He felt rather annoyed.
He somehow felt that the two of them were hiding something from him. It was like a wall that blocked him out.
He felt so resentful!
And jealous!
His younger cousin was closer to someone else than she was to him!

Mo Beihan led Gu Qingyao to the border of the Poplar Brigade. The sun had set, but it was not yet completely dark. There was also snow on the ground, so they could still see the way.
Today, Old Madam Li had gone to attend a lesson.
The brigades around the Poplar Brigade had been scourged. The leaders of the neighboring brigades were all like Li Aiguo, and they would often organize propaganda events.
Old Madam Li was an active participant in these activities. She attended every propaganda event and when she got home, she would loftily disseminate the information to her family members.
She enjoyed this feeling of power.
Not everyone could attend. They only selected a small group of people to act as representatives, and Old Madam Li was one of them.
She was very diligent and was always the last one to return.
At the moment, she was the only one on the road.
