Chapter 279 -279: Magic Defeats Magic

Third Aunt Li was calling out from outside, then out came a tall young man.

She was stunned for a moment, recognizing him after a while, and then called out, “Yo, you must be Gu Wei, right? Haven’t seen you for so long, you’ve grown so much? I remember years ago you were still a child, running up and down the village with your brother.”

Gu Wei was unapologetically frank, “Yes, years ago Third Aunt Li was still a young bride, how come you turned into a thick-skinned gossip in these years?”

“Thick-skinned? How am I thick-skinned?” Third Aunt Li said, “I’m simply trying to find a match for your grandpa. My great-aunt is really a wonderful person, diligent too. If the old man married her, he could even save on nanny fees. Tell me, who in our village hires a nanny, huh? Doesn’t hiring a nanny cost four or five thousand a month? I’m just trying to help you save money.”

“There’s no need for you to worry about nanny expenses, Third Aunt Li. You might as well save your breath and go back quickly. Your family must be waiting for you to have dinner.”

“I’ve already eaten before coming here.” Third Aunt Li shamelessly said, “Gu Wei, open the door and let Auntie in for a chat.”

Gu Wei could handle criminals, but he had no experience dealing with such persistent rural women like Third Aunt Li, who was sticky like gum, impossible to get rid of. If he ignored her, she would come every day and drive a person crazy.

If he paid her any mind, she’d think there was a chance.

At this time, Su Meixi came out and called Gu Wei back.

After all, Su Meixi had spent a lot of time in the big compound, chatted with the sisters-in-law, and knew that arguing with such people was useless, as was rejecting them—you had to strike at their weak point.

Moreover, Grandpa Gu hadn’t said anything. He just calmly ate his dinner, then continued to go about his own business, seemingly completely undisturbed.

After dinner, Su Meixi asked Aunt Zhang, “What kind of people are in Third Aunt Li’s family?”

Aunt Zhang despised this Third Aunt Li to the extreme. She always talked about how costly nannies were and wanted to replace them.

So Aunt Zhang had looked into Third Aunt Li as well. This Third Aunt Li was very persistent and had a son studying in his third year of high school, and a husband who was honest and kind.

“How is her relationship with her son?” Su Meixi inquired.

“Holds him as precious as anything, always bragging about how awesome her son is, says he’s definitely university material and her son will surely marry a city girl in the future, telling the other village girls not to even dream about it.”

Su Meixi had an idea then.

That night, Su Meixi and Gu Wei also stayed over at Grandpa Gu’s house.

It was winter now and Feng City’s winter wasn’t too cold, so staying in the guest room was acceptable without needing air conditioning.

The rural nights were quiet, occasionally pierced by the barking of dogs or the passing sounds of agricultural tractors.

Su Meixi and Gu Wei initially couldn’t sleep, and eventually, they both put on coats and went up to the rooftop.

Tonight, the moon was full, and there were no mosquitoes in winter. The two of them sat on the lounge chairs above, very comfortable.

“Gu Wei, I’ve got an idea that could stop Third Aunt Li from harassing Grandpa,” Su Meixi said.

“Oh? What’s the plan?”

Su Meixi leaned in and whispered a few words in his ear.

Gu Wei looked at her and couldn’t help saying, “Ah Xi, I feel you’re getting naughty. Have you been mixing with the sisters-in-law too much and picked up a few tricks?”

Su Meixi laughed, “This is fighting magic with magic.”

They continued to watch the moon above, and as the night deepened and the weather grew colder, they reluctantly came down.

…

The next morning, Su Meixi was awakened by a commotion.

Third Aunt Li had come again, and with her was a rural woman around 60 years of age, probably Third Aunt Li’s great-aunt.

So Third Aunt Li was lying all along, claiming her great-aunt was only 50 when she was clearly over 60.

And this great-aunt looked plump and shrewd. In order to meet Grandpa Gu, she even wore a red jacket and a green scarf—a truly indescribable fashion statement.

“Gu Wei, come out and take a look at my great-aunt!” Third Aunt Li shouted towards Gu Wei.

Gu Wei had already gotten up early to play chess with Grandpa Gu in the yard.

Grandpa Gu ignored Third Aunt Li, but Gu Wei, remembering Su Meixi’s plan from last night, said to Grandpa Gu, “Grandpa, how about I solve this trouble for you?”

Grandpa Gu smiled, “If it’s too difficult, just pretend you didn’t hear anything. If they get bored, they’ll leave.”

“Grandpa, I’m afraid these people won’t leave that easily. For the sake of your peace, let me lend a hand.”

With that, Gu Wei walked out of the yard.

Seeing Gu Wei finally willing to come out, Third Aunt Li immediately beamed with joy and pushed her great-aunt in front of him, “Gu Wei, look at my great-aunt, isn’t she pretty? When she was young, she was the beauty of our village. A lot of guys begged to marry her. Her husband died a few years ago, and she only has one son at home. Your grandpa could get a ready-made son.”

The great-aunt nodded nervously.

Gu Wei glanced at the great-aunt, smiled, and then said to Third Aunt Li, “You want your great-aunt to marry my grandpa, mainly because he owns a building and the family conditions are decent, right?”

Third Aunt Li unreservedly said, “I heard your grandpa has quite a lot of savings, a high pension, and such dutiful grandchildren. Every time I see Gu Cheng come by, he’s driving a luxury car.”

“Of course, my grandpa’s pension is twenty thousand a month.”

Third Aunt Li and her great-aunt smacked their lips in astonishment at such a high salary!

She hurriedly pulled Gu Wei aside, “Let’s talk properly.”

Gu Wei walked aside with Third Aunt Li, then said to her, “I called my older brother last night because of this matter. We discussed grandpa’s marriage, and my brother agreed too…”

“Really? Then, let’s hurry up.”

“But my brother has one condition.”

“What condition? Just tell me.” Third Aunt Li said eagerly.

Gu Wei then divulged, “Here’s the thing, our family has a niece who is about the same age as your son, 20 years old, ready for marriage. My brother said, if you want your great-aunt to marry my grandpa, we’ll marry our niece to your son. If you agree, our family can provide a set of Feng City real estate as a dowry.”

“Really? Is such a good thing possible? Your niece? What does she look like?” The prospect of having her son marry a girl from the city and the Gu family’s good conditions, including a house, made her consider looking into it.

Gu Wei pulled up his phone gallery, then played a video, “This is her.”

Upon seeing it, Third Aunt Li’s expression immediately changed!
