Chapter 321: 321 Yingzhou, do you have a partner now?! (Additional updates)

"It’s that man-eating monster! Hurry up, hurry up, don’t let him see us!!"

"Why is that guy taking the main road? Doesn’t he always take the back roads?"

"Who knows, let’s just stay... away from... that person..."

From the way they addressed him, it was clear how desperately the villagers wanted to avoid Mu Sheng.

With an expressionless face, Mu Sheng headed straight for the dilapidated house at the foot of the mountain.

A violent coughing sound came from inside the house.

The sound seemed as though it was about to cough up the lungs.

Hearing the heart-wrenching cough, Mu Sheng hurriedly pushed the door and entered.

The house was in shambles but was tidily kept.

An elderly man lay on the bed.

Upon seeing Mu Sheng, the old man suppressed the cough he had brought to his mouth.

He held it in until his face turned bright red.

"Shengzi, you’re back."

Mu Sheng quickly stepped forward to help the old man, "Uncle Yuan, are you alright?"

In front of the old man, the sinister-looking youth outside had put away all his spines, his eyes filled with nothing but deep concern.

"I’m fine," Old Yuan waved his hand and coughed again, "Just the old ailment, don’t worry about it."

"Weren’t you out looking for work? How did it go?" the old man asked with concern.

Mu Sheng’s body stiffened, somewhat afraid to meet Uncle Yuan’s eyes.

If Uncle Yuan knew he had almost truly done the wrong thing, he would surely have been furious.

Mu Sheng felt a vague sense of relief that he hadn’t gone through with the misdeed.

Uncle Yuan was the only person in the world who was kind to him, and he wanted to earn money to treat Uncle Yuan’s illness.

However, jobs in the county were scarce, with each as entrenched as the next. He couldn’t even find menial, backbreaking work to do.

He had so much strength and nowhere to use it.

At the thought, dark mists emerged from the depths of Mu Sheng’s eyes, swirling with shadow.

Because he had no other options, he had considered taking a risk by bringing back that child who seemed to come from a wealthy family, and then demanding money from the child’s family.

He hadn’t expected to be...

Uncle Yuan gave him a look and knew all too well that the young man was sinking into his stubborn ways again.

"It is indeed hard to find work in the county, and you should have been prepared for that before you went. So what’s there to be disappointed about?"

"We who live off the land have no other way out in these times except to rely on manual labor; nothing is more important than being down-to-earth."

Uncle Yuan spoke with a gentle voice and warm air.

His attitude was completely different from that of the villagers, who feared Mu Sheng and wished to avoid him at all costs.

He knew the boy was not as the rumors claimed.

Shengzi had a gentle heart.

Mu Sheng nodded, "Mhm, I’ll listen to Uncle Yuan."

The elderly man smiled, "I believe in you. Keep a kind heart, and you’ll have a good future ahead."

A kind heart?

A twinge of fear struck Mu Sheng’s heart.

He had almost stepped over the line.

Thankfully...

"... Yeah."

Perhaps he should think of another way.

Money earned through wrongdoing...

Uncle Yuan would probably rather die than use it.

Gu Yingzhou had someone book the fastest train to Provincial City.

Upon arrival, he immediately got in touch with a comrade who worked at the train station.

After spending a morning investigating, he confirmed that his great-nephew had followed an adult onto a train, slid off at Anning County.

His face darkened.

That was far too bold!

Having confirmed this, Gu Yingzhou called Gu Ren and Su Qi to inform them, and then booked three tickets back to Anning County.

With a little time to spare, he took a quick trip to the Department Store.

Once back in Anning County, Gu Yingzhou mobilized everyone he knew to start looking for news of his great-nephew.

Xia Yunxiu also caught wind of the news.

Then, she immediately thought of the boy that Lin Tang had been taking care of these past few days.

Without his brothers around, he definitely had to help look after his younger siblings.

Plus, his wife worked at the Cotton Textile Factory, so getting news about Lin Tang was particularly convenient.

Xia Yunxiu was the first to know the news that Comrade Lin Tang had picked up a little fellow.

Hearing that Gu Yingzhou’s grandnephew was lost, Xia Yunxiu immediately sought him out.

Upon entering the Gu family courtyard, Xia Yunxiu went straight up to him and asked,

"...Yingzhou, did you say your grandnephew is missing?"

Gu Yingzhou looked at him and asked, "...Do you have any news?"

Gu Ren and Su Qi also showed anticipation on their faces.

Xia Yunxiu shook his head, "I don’t know, but I heard your partner picked up a child."

"Comrade Lin Tang occasionally brings the kid to the factory these days, everyone knows about it.

Why don’t you go over there and see if it’s your grandnephew?"

He had never seen that child.

But according to what his wife said, the kid looked fair and tender, not like a commoner’s child.

There was a good chance he was the person Yingzhou was looking for.

Gu Yingzhou felt two intensely heated gazes behind him and his back involuntarily stiffened.

All he could think was: It’s over! There’ll be no peace from now on.

Before he could speak, Gu Ren came over, staring at Xia Yunxiu.

"What did you just say? Partner?"

She then turned to look at Gu Yingzhou, her expression filled with shock.

"Yingzhou, you have a partner now?!"

Su Qi followed behind Gu Ren.

Also looking at his little brother-in-law with surprise.

Gu Yingzhou saw the two of them looking at him as if he were a wild orangutan, and his handsome face turned dark.

"Why can’t I have a partner?"

With that, he glanced at Su Qi and Gu Ren.

His tone was indifferent.

"I am better in every aspect than you two, and you both are married. What is there to be surprised about me being in a relationship?"

While his tone wasn’t sarcastic, it was inexplicably irritating!

Gu Ren felt as if a bucket of cold water had been thrown on her face, her enthusiasm instantly extinguished.

She could hardly believe that with such a poisonous mouth, her brother could actually win over someone else’s tender young cabbage?!

"...Do you also talk like that with your partner? Can the comrade woman tolerate your mouth?"

"You should talk less from now on.

We, as your elder sister and brother-in-law, might indulge you, but that doesn’t mean everyone else can tolerate your mouth."

Xia Yunxiu, hearing this, realized that the two were Gu Yingzhou’s elder sister and brother-in-law.

Just when he was starting to feel that these three people didn’t seem like family, he heard Gu Ren’s words to Gu Yingzhou.

At that moment, he wanted to raise both hands and feet in agreement.

Yes, yes!!!

A blood-written petition for Gu Yingzhou to speak less in the future.

Gu Yingzhou glanced at Gu Ren, his voice still calm and unruffled.

"In front of people with equal intelligence, I always behave elegantly and gracefully. Naturally, my partner is very satisfied with me."

The subtext was clear to everyone present.

Su Qi: "..."

Just like the little brother-in-law, offending everyone with just a few words.

The most infuriating part is that he talks with such confidence and it’s also the truth.

The Gu family siblings looked at each other, engaging in a silent battle with their eyes.

Well, actually, it was just Gu Ren ’attacking’ her brother, while Gu Yingzhou’s expression was as steady as an old dog.

Su Qi could still remember their own little devil at home.

He asked Xia Yunxiu, "Comrade, do you know where Yingzhou’s partner lives?

My wife and I would like to visit to see if the child is our son."

Though he phrased it as a question, he was already about six or seven percent sure the boy was his son.

Xia Yunxiu shook his head, "I don’t know, Yingzhou certainly does."

For a male comrade to ask for a female comrade’s address, especially that of a close friend’s partner, was somewhat improper.

Hearing this, Su Qi turned to look at Gu Yingzhou.

"When shall we go?"
