Chapter 13: Mrs. Huang's Jealousy

"Yo! Uncle Third from the Gu Family, heading to town?" Mrs. Huang looked at the brand new bullock cart, a bit puzzled, looked around but didn't see who was driving it.

"Ah, just came back." Mr. Gu wasn't very fond of the neighbor's daughter-in-law from the Zhang Family, who loved to gossip and often mingled with that Wang Yue. He gave a simple reply and prepared to drive the bullock cart into the courtyard.

"Uncle Second from the Gu Family, have relatives come over? Why is the bullock cart going into the courtyard?" Mrs. Huang eyed the strong ox with envy; it was indeed a precious livestock.

Though Mr. Gu did not want to babble with Mrs. Huang, the mention of his newly bought ox made him happy and he couldn't help but indulge in a few more words.

"What relatives? Didn't I just buy this ox from town today?"

Gu Chengyu was just pushing open the courtyard gate to let the bullock cart in when he heard Mrs. Huang coming over from the neighboring yard.
