My Beloved Super Fierce Wife
Chapter 700: Has 700 tops sprouted yet?

Chapter 700: Has 700 tops sprouted yet?

After the wedding, the Gu family didn’t return to the county but stayed temporarily in the courtyard that the three Qing brothers from Shuang Shan brigade had built for Lin Tang.

Gu Yu got up early in the morning, and after washing up, he noticed his hair had become denser, which stopped him in his tracks.

Feeling something was amiss, he looked in the mirror on the wall for a while.

Once he confirmed that his hair indeed had become much thicker, Gu Yu rushed back to the room like a gust of wind.

"Shushu, Shushu, look at this!!"

Ruan Shu was still resting when she was startled by her husband’s excited voice and sat up abruptly.

"What happened?" she asked good-naturedly.

Gu Yu walked over and sat on the bed, bowed his head, and pointed his forehead toward her.

"Shushu, look at my hair."

Ruan Shu: "..."

Don’t you hate it the most when someone stares at your forehead?

Considering that her husband was vain, Ruan Shu glanced briefly and quickly averted her gaze, saying, "It looks great!"

As soon as Gu Yu heard her, he knew she hadn’t been sincere, looking rather forlorn.

"How does it look great?"

Ruan Shu was taken aback.

How was she supposed to know?

The look of dejection on Gu Yu’s face deepened.

Normally, at his age, such an expression would only be eyewatering.

But he had good looks, and even as he aged, he was still handsome, which not only wasn’t sore on the eyes, but also melted one’s heart...

At least that was how Ruan Shu felt.

"Alright, alright, if you have something to say, just say it. Where will you put your face if the younger generation sees you like this?"

Gu Yu reined in the sadness on his face and said, "Shushu, look at my hair, has it grown on top?"

Ruan Shu’s first reaction was whether she had been too overbearing, making Gu Yu unusually sensitive.

Such a sin.

Guilt washed over her expression as she looked at him.

She then examined earnestly.

"Eh? It really has. Comrade Gu Yuyu, your head has turned blacker!"

As she spoke, she incredulously rubbed Gu Yu’s head several times.

Gu Yu, seeing his wife’s mouth almost splitting with disbelief, knew his hair had truly grown back and was ecstatic beyond control.

He could barely maintain his composure outside, but in front of Ruan Shu, he couldn’t hide his emotions.

"It seems to be true, what’s going on?" he asked, touching the top of his head.

Ruan Shu, thinking of the toiletries at the Lin family’s bathhouse in the county, had a flash of insight in her eyes, "Could it be related to the Tang family’s toiletry products?"

Gu Yu felt his wife made sense and nodded in agreement.

"It should be."

For a moment, he pondered how to broach the subject of asking his daughter-in-law for the hair-growth shampoo.

Ruan Shu noticed the flickering in his eyes and a smile flashed in hers.

"You’ve got your eye on your in-laws’ shampoo, huh?"

Gu Yu was very frank, "Yes."

He felt a bitter sweetness in his heart.

It was all because Shushu liked pretty things.

He wanted to stay handsome for a lifetime!

Ruan Shu couldn’t help but laugh and cry.

"I’ll ask Xiuli."

Although she and Li Xiuli differed in sophistication, it didn’t affect their relationship.

Gu Yu’s eyes lit up, he hugged Ruan Shu and kissed her on the face, "It would be even better if you’re willing."

"Why wouldn’t I be willing?" Ruan Shu pushed away the man’s stubbly face and said, "What are you kissing around for so early in the morning, your stubble is like a cactus, go wash up."

Gu Yu knew she wasn’t really angry and leaned in to kiss her again, "You said you don’t mind."

Ruan Shu pushed him with force, "Stop it."

Not minding doesn’t mean liking to be poked.

It was at this moment that Lin Zhicheng ran over.

"Grandpa Gu, Grandma Ruan, my grandma asked me to call you for dinner!"

The teenager’s robust voice rang out, and everyone in the room walked out the door.

Ruan Shu said with a smile, "Got it, thank you for running the errand."

"It’s no trouble, this little distance, I can cover in minutes," Lin Zhicheng waved his hand like a little adult, "Alright, you guys hurry up, I’ll go back and help."

After delivering the message, he waved his hand and left.

Old Master Gu had just put on a jacket and came out in time to see Lin Zhicheng’s figure disappearing.

"Kids these days are just so energetic, running around without showing any signs of tiredness," the old master sighed.

The corners of Ruan Shu’s eyes crinkled with laughter, "Dad, is it possible that Goudan is afraid of you?"

She had just seen Goudan seemed to breathe a sigh of relief when he saw the old master hadn’t come out yet.

Old Master Gu gave Ruan Shu an incredulous look as if to say you must be joking, "Afraid of me for what? I haven’t scolded anyone, nor have I lost my temper. What’s there to be afraid of?"

Seeing the old master’s stubborn, unyielding face, Ruan Shu couldn’t help but chuckle, "I misspoke, there’s no fear, Goudan isn’t afraid of you, with your kind and gentle nature, who would be afraid of you..."

In her heart: You’re so imposing without even being angry, not just children from the Lin family, even your own children are scared.

Gu Ziping: Right, I would be scared QAQ

Old Master Gu was coaxed into a good mood, yet showed none of it on his face; straightening the collar of his coat, he said, "Let’s go, don’t keep the in-laws waiting too long."

Having said that, he was the first to leave the courtyard.

Ruan Shu and You Mi exchanged glances, the sisters-in-law linking arms to follow.

To entertain the in-laws, Li Xiuli really put her all into it.

Fortunately, the house had plenty of meat and vegetables, so they had a wide variety to present with pride.

After the meal, the two families sat in the house to chat leisurely.

With so many people, they split into two rooms.

Ruan Shu saw the two daughters-in-law of the Lin family busy hosting and pulled them to sit down.

"Stop bustling about, we’re all family here. We can pour our own water, both of you rest a bit too. It’s your home, there’s no need to be so tense."

Ning Xinrou and Zhou Mei sat down as they saw most of the hospitality tasks were done.

At that moment, Li Xiuli said, "These past few days have been hard on Xinrou and Mei Zi. Pour whatever you want to drink."

The past few days had indeed been exhausting for everyone with Tangtang’s wedding preparations.

Mei Zi, quick to seize an opportunity, went to make some formula milk.

A rare sign of generosity from her mother-in-law...

Li Xiuli caught a glimpse of it from the corner of her eye, and the next second, she turned her head away, thinking it was unbearable to look at.

Pitiful...

After silently criticising in her heart, she returned her gaze to entertain the in-laws’ mother.

"Mother-in-law, have some tea, eat some sunflower seeds, make yourself at home."

Ruan Shu was very amiable, "You should also take a rest; these past days must have been tiring. Moving forward, take good care of yourself. We’re all getting on in years, and our energy isn’t as boundless as it used to be."

In her life, she had never suffered hardship, and though she looked quite young, her words didn’t carry much conviction.

Li Xiuli pretended not to notice and responded, "You don’t seem like someone who’s aged at all."

Ruan Shu was pleased to hear it, and she replied with a laugh, "Hahaha, really? I’ll take that as a compliment!"

After that, seeing the atmosphere was just about right, she began to inquire about the hair growth-promoting shampoo.

"Mother-in-law, there’s something I’d like to ask."

Li Xiuli, seeing Ruan Shu get serious, thought she had something important to say and promptly asked, "What is it? Just say it outright."

Ruan Shu, who was straightforward by nature, immediately began, "I heard from before that our shampoo is made by Tangtang?"

"Yes, does mother-in-law like it? If you do, I can pack some for you. Tangtang has made quite a lot. She’s very particular, that young lady. She even divided them by scent. There’s rose, jasmine, and orchid... which kind would you prefer?"

And truth be told, that shampoo really is excellent. It smells great and leaves the hair feeling fresh and clean.
