It actually hurts a little to step on this foot.

But Gu Ci didn't care, he stared at Su Qin's expression. I saw that her eyes were slightly red, and she looked angry on the surface, but in fact, she was a little aggrieved, and she looked like a little daughter. This is the first time Gu Ci has seen Su Qin show such an expression, and in his impression, she has always been so strong, as if she is not afraid of anything.

It seems that tonight's episode really scared Su Qin.

Thinking of this, Gu Ci said very decisively: "It was me who was wrong." ”

Su Qin: "......"

She originally wanted to scold Gu Ci for a sentence or two to relieve her hatred, but the other party apologized so calmly that she didn't know what to say.

"What are you doing wrong?"

Gu Ci looked apologetic: "I shouldn't go home quietly, I should shout when I come back, so that you won't be scared." It's just that he was too negligent, just thinking that it was late at night, Su Qin should have fallen asleep, but he didn't expect that he would come in at night and make no sound, and one of her daughters must be scared when she heard the movement.

He'll definitely improve next time!

Gu Ci is very serious about his commitment.

Seeing this, Su Qin became more and more depressed in his chest.

She snorted, "Next time, I'll definitely stomp your foot to pieces." ”

Gu Ci nodded: "Okay, next time, you can beat me hard and get angry." He patronized and coaxed Su Qin to be happy, and didn't notice the tone of his words.

I didn't notice that Xun Feng, who had witnessed everything, was already dumbfounded.

Is this still a rhetoric?

This is a strict wife!

He couldn't bear to look at it, silently covered his eyes, and then walked outside the courtyard to make space for the two of them.

Su Qin didn't notice this detail, slowed down, his eyes turned around on Gu Ci, and suddenly remembered something.

"Why are you back today?!"

She remembered that when Gu Ci left, she said that it would take at least three or four days to go home this time, and after calculating the time, it was only a day that had passed...... No, Gu Ci went out last night, and he didn't arrive for a day!

Gu Ci on the other side looked calm: "The things to be done are done in advance, so I will come back early." ”

Su Qin raised his eyebrows and was about to say something, but he heard Xun Feng's deliberately raised voice outside.

"No, I remember you saying that you were worried about your sister-in-law."

Gu Ci's fierce gaze suddenly looked in the direction where Xun Feng was.

Xunfeng silently closed his mouth.

Su Qin looked at this scene, a trace of joy was born in his heart, and the frightening depression was swept away.

However, she could also see that Gu Ci didn't want to admit this, so she pretended not to hear anything.

"It's better to come back sooner, lest I worry about you. Let's all come into the house, have you eaten, do you want me to cook for you? I remember the kitchen was still a little ......"

Su Qin's words came to an abrupt end, as Gu Ci suddenly frowned and covered her mouth.

"Huh?" She tilted her head.

Gu Ci's eyes were not on her, but at the fence in the backyard. There was a not-so-tall jujube tree poking out from the courtyard. At this time, the jujube tree was shaking, as if it was being dragged by someone. Gu Ci gave Xun Feng a look, and then walked back to the room silently with Su Qin in his arms.

Xunfeng slowed down and hid in the shadows.

In this situation, Su Qin finally understood.

There really are thieves!

She didn't care about letting Gu Ci let go of herself, she held her breath and waited quietly. Sure enough, it didn't take long for a figure to come in from outside the wall.

It was too dark for the man's physiognomy to be clear, only his movements.

He seemed to be familiar with the layout of the courtyard, and as soon as he entered, he ran to his room.

Su Qin frowned secretly.

Before she could worry, she saw Xunfeng, who was hiding in the shadows, quickly burst out, holding a broom and hitting the thief the back of the neck. The thief was in pain and jerked back. Seeing Xunfeng's face, he immediately ran away with wide eyes. But Xunfeng had already prepared, the courtyard doors were closed, and he couldn't run away at all.

After three or two strokes, the thief was pushed to the ground by Xunfeng.

In the room, Su Qin, who wanted to go out to see the situation, found that he couldn't move, and patted the back of Gu Ci's hand. Gu Ci let go of his hand as if he had just remembered.

Su Qin glared at him, walked out of the room quickly, and when he was leaving, Gu Ci saw that her ears were a little red.

He was stunned, then the corners of his lips rose.

I didn't expect his wife to be shy.

Su Qin ran outside the courtyard as if he had fled, and saw the thief's face by the candlelight lit by the wind, and was surprised to find that he was a familiar young man: "Where do I seem to have seen you?" ”

The thief lowered his head in horror: "No, you must have recognized the wrong person!" ”

"If you admit that you are wrong, what are you doing with your head down?" Su Qin was funny.

At this time, Gu Ci also walked out of the room: "As soon as you climb over the wall, you go straight to the room, it can be seen that you are very familiar with the layout of this courtyard, and you are also a person from the village." ”

The thief's head was buried even lower, as if he were going to bury his head in the ground.

Su Qin finally remembered: "You are Wu Qi who lives in the east of the village, right?" ”

When she went to the ridge to find herbs to make seasonings before, she also saw this young man, who looked smiling, but she didn't expect to do this kind of stealing chicken and dog in private.

Wu Qi saw that she had recognized herself, and raised her head suddenly: "Gu Niangzi, Brother Gu, I know it's wrong!" ”

He grabbed his hair with a look of remorse: "I don't want to steal either, but I really can't help it!" My mother was sick, our family was poor, and we couldn't afford to pay for medical treatment, so we dragged it out for four or five days...... I knew I was wrong, and I won't dare again! ”

After speaking, Wu Qi gritted his teeth and desperately slammed his head to the ground.

Su Qin couldn't help frowning: "Can't you borrow money from others if you lack money?" Why do you have to steal? ”

"I want to borrow it, but no one gives it to me!"

Wu Qi cried and told about his miserable experience. At the beginning, he really wanted to borrow money, but the people in the village knew that their family was poor, and they would not even lend him a copper plate.

He was desperate, thinking that Su Qin had made money selling sauce meat, and Gu Ci was not at home......

The more Wu Qi said, the more he regretted it: "I was really blinded by lard at that time, alas! ”

Gu Ci had a cold face, calm on the surface, but secretly happy in his heart. Fortunately, he was worried that Su Qin was at home alone, so he rushed back after finishing his business in advance, otherwise Su Qin would definitely be scared when he encountered this kind of thing.

He said coldly: "A manly man, no matter what kind of difficulties he encounters, he should not steal chickens and dogs. ”

Wu Qi nodded again and again, and said regretfully: "Yes, to be a man, you should stand up to the sky, I ...... I was wrong. ”
