Chapter 522: Visiting The Provincial Capital Again

He intended to settle it before the spring planting, but he had been busy with work and had not managed to come back in time. He had been preparing to bring Gu Qingyao to the provincial capital, then go to Nancheng and bring his things back. He needed to make proper arrangements for his work, so he had not managed to come back.

In any case, his uncle was the brigade leader. The work points that Jiang Xun and the others had obtained from their work would certainly be credited to the Mo family. He did not need to worry.

The Mo family had taken in so many children that it had created an uproar in the brigade. Many people were discussing the matter, but coincidentally, Sun Mei's family suddenly moved away without even telling the Sun family. The Sun family were frantic. The moment the news broke, it became even more explosive than the Mo family's happenings.

It had been a proud moment for them when Sun Mei had married and moved to the city!

The Sun family had gone around the brigade, boasting about this for the past half a year. Everyone was green with envy. The eldest Sun's family thought their position had been elevated, and they grew smug once more. They looked down on their brothers and even made enemies of many brigade members.

Now that Sun Mei's family had suddenly vanished without a word, everyone who heard the news thought it was funny.

The Mo family's incident had happened long ago, so now they were just going through the formalities regarding the accounts. Mo Beihan did it inconspicuously and did not attract much attention. So everyone's focus was on the Sun family's incident.

Gu Qingyao only smiled when she heard that w.a.n.g Jie's family had moved. She did not pay much attention. It was best that Sun Mei leave.

She packed her things and followed Mo Beihan to the provincial capital.

The train journey there took nearly two days, and Gu Qingyao was exhausted. When she reached, she collapsed on the bed and did not want to move at all.

This time, Mo Beihan brought Gu Qingyao back to his own home.

Their train was supposed to arrive in the afternoon, but an accident had happened along the way, and the repairs had taken some time. Gu Jinlin had been waiting at the train station for Gu Qingyao, but he did not know when the train would arrive, so he waited for a while and went home.

Anyway, with Mo Beihan around, nothing much could happen to his younger cousin. At most, she would have to spend some extra time on the train.

In these times, transportation was poor. Trains that traveled long distances needed to be repaired along the way and delays were common.

Mo Beihan took advantage of this and brought his wife straight home.

He could finally have his wish and spend some time alone with his wife.

It was completely dark by the time they got home. Mo Beihan's home was nearer to the train station. It was already eleven o'clock by the time they got home.

Mo Beihan's heart ached when he saw how exhausted Gu Qingyao was. “Go and take a bath before you sleep, all right?”

Gu Qingyao blinked. She did not want to move. She was bone-weary.

But in this weather, she really could not sleep without a bath. She had not been able to bathe on the train.

So she hurried to the toilet for a shower, then changed into her pajamas and lay on the bed.

Mo Beihan rubbed her stiff and sore arms and legs, and the girl was asleep in two minutes!

Mo Beihan covered her carefully with a thin blanket and turned on the fan. Then he went to take a bath before he slept.

The next day, Gu Qingyao slept until ten o'clock in the morning. It was a deep and satisfying sleep.

The moment she opened her eyes, she saw Mo Beihan lying next to her, properly clothed. She was taken aback!

Mo Beihan turned and said, “Awake?”

Gu Qingyao was not that shocked. She glanced at herself and saw that she was properly dressed. Then she lifted her head and looked at Mo Beihan.

Mo Beihan laughed. “Looks like you have already accepted me as your husband. You're not afraid of me at all! This… as your husband, I am very pleased!”
