NOVPUB29: Chapter 29 Talking about Jin Zijin
29 -29 Talking about Jin Zijin
“Hey!
Which family’s bear child lacks discipline?
I must go teach them a lesson!”
Wang Shun rolled up his sleeves, stood up with his arms swinging, and boldly declared he would go beat up the bear children.
But just as he reached the door, he sat back down with a dry laugh and said, “Let’s talk about this matter later.
I need to fix your door first so that these bear children can’t come in again.”
Gu Youyou looked at Wang Shun indifferently, concluding in her heart that this guy was just a coward who talked big!
Just look at the door he repaired.
It was hanging there alright.
If there wasn’t a strong wind, it might last a few days.
But whether it could withstand a kick, there was no need to even think about it.
After fixing the door, he sat by the stove, chopping up the piled firewood with a wood cutter into small pieces, then used some dry grass to tie them into small bundles.
This made it more convenient to start a fire. 𝓷𝓸𝓿𝓅𝓊𝓫.𝒸ℴ𝓶
While his hands were busy, he chattered away nonstop about the village gossip.
He didn’t seem to be there to fix her door so much as to entertain her with a mission to relieve her boredom.
Gu Youyou silently listened, letting him talk if he wanted to.
The gossip Wang Shun heard wasn’t even as much as what Gu Youyou knew.
After hearing so much of it, it wasn’t interesting anymore!
Later, he started talking about Jin Zijin.
“Brother Jin came to our village five years ago.
When he first arrived, he was very handsome.
In our village, many girls secretly fancied Brother Jin.
But back then, he was even poorer than now, didn’t even have a thatched hut, and lived in a cave in the back mountains.
The girls didn’t want to live in a cave with him, and with no relatives to arrange a marriage for him, he kept putting it off.”
Gu Youyou smiled and said, “So he doesn’t live in a cave now, why can’t he still find a wife?”
Wang Shun chuckled twice, glanced up at Gu Youyou, and said, “Isn’t he married to you, sister-in-law?”
Gu Youyou: “…” Do I even count?
“He is able-bodied, skilled at hunting, and has…
a thatched hut.
With his conditions, it shouldn’t be hard to marry a healthy wife, right?
Even if not, isn’t there a couple of widows in the next village?
One of them even has no children.
Surely she’s better than me.
How come he was willing to marry me?”
Seeing that Wang Shun was sincere, Gu Youyou decided to voice her confusion from the past few days.
Wang Shun replied, “I thought the same too, and I advised Brother Jin in the past, but Brother Jin…”
Realizing he had said something wrong, his voice came to an abrupt halt, and he laughed awkwardly, “Sister-in-law, I…
I didn’t mean it that way.
Don’t get me wrong!
Oh dear, look at my mouth, always saying stupid things!”
Wang Shun looked annoyed and slapped himself on the cheek twice.
Gu Youyou spoke leisurely, “Don’t be nervous.
You were right; that’s what I thought too!”
Wang Shun: “…”
“So…
what do you mean?”
Gu Youyou said with a smile, “Nothing much, just asking casually!”
Upon hearing Gu Youyou’s relaxed laughter, Wang Shun also breathed a sigh of relief and said, “You’re quite alright, sister-in-law.
You’re just sick, that’s all.
Once the illness is cured, you will surely have good days with Brother Jin.
Both of you are good people, especially Brother Jin, he’s exceptionally kind…”
So Wang Shun, like a babbling brook, began to praise Jin Zijin, extolling his warmheartedness and his good hunting skills among other things.
Gu Youyou didn’t know the specifics about Jin Zijin, but Wang Shun was definitely a hardcore fan of Jin Zijin!
His admiration for Jin Zijin was too familiar.
Wasn’t this just like a modern-day fan club member?
