My Wife is the World’s Greatest Divine Martial General

The craftsman foreman had a good reputation, which Gu Yu had already inquired about from others before approaching him.

So, Gu Yu paid the deposit promptly.

After settling everything with the craftsman foreman and asking the cook to bring her own cooking tools, pots, bowls, ladles, and other utensils—as Gu Yu’s family wouldn’t provide these—the arrangements were complete.

Although curious about how Gu Yu could directly spend twenty taels of silver yet couldn’t provide these basic items, the craftsman foreman was a tactful person who didn’t ask many questions. He just patted his chest and guaranteed that everything would be arranged properly.

Everyone had their own affairs, and he only needed to work earnestly to earn silver. His family didn’t live by the sea—it wasn’t his place to pry too much.

After making arrangements with the craftsman foreman, Gu Yu didn’t linger in town but prepared to take an ox cart back home.

After yesterday’s incident with Li making a scene at his door, Gu Yu was now very worried when not at home, fearing something might happen to Gu Mengyao and her brother.

Although Gu Yu had been forceful yesterday, he worried that after Li went home and told the Yang family men about this matter, those fellows, unlike the villagers with limited knowledge, would surely know that Gu Yu’s words were utterly disrespectful.

Gu Yu, concerned that the Yang family might come to make trouble again, didn’t know that Li had sneaked over secretly yesterday. Even though she had been infuriated by Gu Yu’s words, she didn’t dare tell Old Man Yang and her sons about this matter.

As for others coming to tell them… with a shrew like Li around, no one dared to specifically visit and mention this incident.

When Gu Yu had married into the Gu family, Old Man Yang had announced at home that he no longer considered Gu Yu his grandson, even pressing his fingerprint on a kinship severance document—his attitude was that firm.

In rural areas, if a family had a child who became a son-in-law marrying into another family, everyone in the family would be embarrassed.

After all, the title of “son-in-law who married in” didn’t sound good at all when mentioned.

If not for the tiger skin that Gu Mengyao had produced at the time, which was exchanged for several dozen taels of silver, allowing Yang Shun to study with even less worry… Old Man Yang would have beaten Gu Yu to death rather than let him become a son-in-law and bring shame to the Yang family.

However, despite Old Man Yang’s resolute attitude, he hadn’t refused to eat the meat that Gu Yu brought.

So, Gu Yu’s current worry was unnecessary. At least Li wouldn’t dare come to their door again for some time.

“You little bitch, you dare to hit this young master? Watch as I take you back home for some real fun.”

Gu Yu, thinking about getting home quickly, never expected to witness a scene of forced abduction of a woman on the streets of this ancient world.

Moreover, he happened to make eye contact with the woman who was about to be taken away.

Seeing the woman looking pitiful and oppressed, with her eyes revealing a pleading gaze, Gu Yu inwardly chuckled.

Although the harassed woman was beautiful and the young master harassing her looked deserving of a beating, Gu Yu didn’t stop.

Not only did he currently lack the ability to play the hero, but even if he had it, why should he…

He wasn’t some hot-blooded youth who would shout against injustice. This woman had nothing to do with him anyway, so even if she was violated, it was none of Gu Yu’s business.

After all, there were many onlookers around, yet none dared to help, all worried about bringing trouble upon themselves.

Especially since this woman didn’t seem to be some innocent victim.

A normal respectable woman being harassed wouldn’t have the leisure to observe her surroundings, let alone make eye contact with Gu Yu and seek his help.

Looking at Gu Yu’s frail appearance… and then at the strong, brawny followers around the young master—even ten of him couldn’t defeat one of those brutes—was this woman blind?

Thinking this, Gu Yu merely glanced twice before averting his gaze, then prepared to bypass the crowd and continue toward where the ox carts were stationed.

He didn’t know if there were any ox carts ready now, but Gu Yu very much wanted to get home quickly to see if Gu Mengyao had obediently stayed at home.

“Young Miss, I’ve finally found you! What… what’s happening here?”

“Uncle Zhong, this man says he wants to take me home to play with me.”

“What!”

However, before Gu Yu could skirt around the crowd, the situation of the forced abduction took a new turn.

When a middle-aged man in his thirties appeared and saw the young master pulling and tugging at his young miss, his face immediately contorted with anger. As he quickly walked over, he directly kicked the young master, sending him flying more than ten meters.
