After Rebirth, My Fiancé Helps Me Avenge the Wicked Scum

Chapter 614 Underestimating This Future Elder Sister-in-Law
The next morning at dawn, Mengyu went for a run, which was actually a trip to practice her martial arts in the woods behind the village. When she returned, she brought back two wild hares, each weighing about seven or eight pounds.
Madam Gu saw Mengyu returning from outside early in the morning and thought she was just exercising like her son; little did she know, Mengyu handed over the two wild hares she brought back: “Madam, I encountered these in the woods during my run this morning, we’re in for a treat today.”
Gu Minxing had just gotten up, and as soon as she saw the wild hares in Mengyu’s hands, she immediately brightened: “Mengyu, you managed to catch wild hares just from morning runs. How did you do it?”
Mengyu glanced at Madam Gu and said with a smile: “At that time, I happened to have two coins in my hand.”
Gu Minxing exclaimed: “Wow, you caught wild hares with coins, Mengyu you’re so amazing. If only I were as capable as you. Yesterday—”
When she mentioned yesterday, her mood immediately turned somber: “If I had been capable, I wouldn’t have been taken advantage of like that.”
Mengyu looked at Gu Minxing, then at Madam Gu, and said: “My skills are nothing compared to your brother’s. He’s so formidable; if you could learn just a few moves from him, you wouldn’t need to be afraid of bad guys.”
“But—” Gu Minxing glanced at Mom and said: “But a girl involved in fighting and killing, no one would dare to marry her later on.”
Mengyu laughed: “Once you’ve learned the skills, who says you have to show off? Look at me, those two bad guys yesterday couldn’t even defeat me, otherwise, I wouldn’t have dared to save you, right? But if it weren’t for yesterday, would you have known that I practice martial arts?”
Gu Minxing nodded: “Yeah, if it wasn’t for yesterday, I wouldn’t have known that you practice martial arts. It’s all thanks to your martial arts that yesterday, not to mention rescuing me, you might have been captured and sold along with me.”
Mengyu crouched to add some firewood to the stove: “You’re right. Without skills, someone sold can’t make it back. With skills, even if one is temporarily overlooked and sold, once they come to their senses, they can fight off the human trafficker and run back.
Besides, even after you get married, if you have skills, neither your husband nor your mother-in-law would dare to bully you, right? We don’t bully others, but we also can’t let others bully us.
Therefore, now is not the era where a woman without talent is virtuous; we, as women, must also have the ability to protect ourselves.”
Mengyu’s words seemed to be for Gu Minxing, but in fact, they were intended for Madam Gu to hear.
In truth, ever since Gu Minxing was almost tricked and abducted, she had begun to regret not having her daughter learn a few martial arts moves from her son.
A woman should be gentle and virtuous; it’s indeed hard for a daughter skilled in martial arts to find a good marriage match.
But after listening to Mengyu and Gu Minxing, Madam Gu also felt that she had been shortsighted.
Mengyu was right; learning skills didn’t necessarily mean showing off to everyone.
Just like Mengyu, who appeared soft and adorable on the surface, who would have thought she was proficient in martial arts?
Gu Minxing, sneaking peeks at Madam Gu’s expression and seeing no displeasure, immediately went fawningly to her side to help her massage her shoulders: “Mom, I want to learn martial arts from Mengyu.”
Madam Gu couldn’t help but laugh and cry: “If you want to learn, then learn; who are you putting on this act for?”
Gu Minxing rejoiced: “Naturally, for my most beloved Mom. Thank you, Mom! Then when Mengyu heads back to the county town tomorrow, I’ll go with her. While the holidays last, I want to learn martial arts well.”
Thus, when Mengyu returned to the county town, she had an extra person following her—Gu Minxing.
Thus, there was an additional permanent resident in the Dragon Head Ridge compound.
Only after integrating into the small community at Dragon Head Ridge did Gu Minxing realize how much she had underestimated this future elder sister-in-law.
