The abandoned wife married into a wealthy family, and the scumbag father wailed every night
Chapter 40 The King of Hell
Gu Dechang looked at his old wife with tears streaming down her face and sighed.
My wife has always been strong-willed and concerned about her reputation. If she hadn't been in a sore spot, she wouldn't have been so out of control.
"Take it, and go inside to make some tea for Brother Ming."
Gu Dechang didn't want the 50 taels of silver in the first place, but Mingge had a patient at home who needed the money right away.
Brother Ming gave it to him yesterday, and before he left, he secretly put it on the table with missing legs in Brother Ming's house. Unexpectedly, Brother Ming brought it to him again.
In that case, he would accept it first and help Brother Ming when he was in trouble. Life had to go on anyway.
After hearing what Gu Dechang said, Zhao hurried into the house to make tea.
As soon as she entered the house, her eldest daughter-in-law, Mrs. Deng, followed her and said, "Mother, come and see how much silver there is!"
Zhao was also very curious, so she opened it and counted them.
"Oh my god! A full 50 taels!"
Deng couldn't help but exclaim, and quickly covered her mouth. She looked towards the yard embarrassedly, and was relieved to find that neither Mr. Gu nor her father-in-law in the yard heard it.
Otherwise it would be embarrassing!
Zhao was also very shocked. She knew that there would be a lot of silver in the purse, but she thought it was 20 taels. She didn't expect it to be 50 taels!
If farmers can save two taels of silver after working hard all year, they are considered to be very wealthy!
Because their family had many sons and they ate a lot, they could only save 1 tael at most a year. But Brother Gu actually returned her 50 taels!
Zhao suddenly felt a little embarrassed and regretted that she had given Gu Xiucai the cold shoulder when he entered the house.
Over there, Gu Xiucai was already talking to Gu Dechang about building a house. He was thinking of asking the villagers to build a house for him so that he could make good connections in the village.
"Brother Ming, the general wage for building a house is 20-25 coins a day. They are all from the same village and they don't have to walk far. They can earn money right at their doorstep. If you pay 20 coins, people will rush to do it!"
When Gu Dechang heard that his old friend wanted to build a house, he thought about it and realized that the villagers could only earn 25 cents at most by working outside, and they had to walk 2 miles to the county town to find work. Many times they might not be able to find a job even if they went there. He thought that 20 cents given by Gu Xiucai was enough.
"Then help me find some people. I'll pay them 30 cents a day. I won't take care of lunch, so let everyone go home and eat."
Gu Xiucai thought about it and realized that other people would provide meals when they hired people to do work, but he really didn't want his wife, daughter and daughter-in-law to cook for so many people. It would be too tiring, so he decided to just pay a little more and not provide meals.
"What?! Thirty cents?! That's too much. Besides, it's just for lunch. You can just ask your sister-in-law to make some steamed black flour buns. It won't be a big deal!"
When Gu Dechang heard that Gu Xiucai wanted to give him 30 cents, he felt a little reluctant as it was too much!
Isn't this a waste of money!
"If my sister-in-law and niece-in-law are too busy, I can bring my two daughters-in-law to help with the cooking. No... I don't want any wages."
Although Zhao was in the room, she had been eavesdropping on their conversation with her ears perked up. When she heard that Gu Xiucai wanted to pay 30 cents for the meal, she felt so distressed that she quickly came out and said to Gu Xiucai a little embarrassedly.
After receiving so much money from him, it was only natural that she should take her daughter-in-law with her to help for a few days!
Besides, who would pay so much?
It’s just a lunch. She’s not bragging, she can afford it all by herself!
"Don't bother you, sister-in-law. I just want to pay them more so that they can finish building the house earlier so that we can move in."
After hearing what Gu Xiucai said, Zhao went back to the room with a red face. She really didn't know why she thought of the 50 taels of silver as soon as she saw him. She felt guilty when she thought of the 50 taels of silver!
"That's right. If we build the house sooner, you can move in before it gets colder and have a warm winter!"
After listening to Gu Xiucai's words, Gu Dechang also felt that it made sense. He was not afraid that someone would cheat and take the wages without doing any work. If there was such a person, he would just wait and see how he would deal with him!
"Okay! You know the character of the villagers best, just make the arrangements!"
Gu Xiucai discussed with Gu Dechang the layout and size of the house to be built and then went back.
When the villagers of Gujia Village heard that the son of Gu the mason who came back yesterday wanted to build a house and was given 30 cents a day, they were immediately furious!
All the families with able-bodied labor ran to Gu Dechang's house, crying and begging for a spot for their family.
When dealing with things, Gu Dechang never believed in who was right and who was in the right, so he kicked them all out!
After much deliberation, I selected 50 people. Originally, 30 would have been enough, but since I thought that the house had to be built as soon as possible, I selected 20 more people.
In this way, except for a few dishonest families in the village, almost every family has one person selected, which will also help Brother Ming to make good friends in the village.
Everyone in Gujia Village was filled with joy for a while. 30 wen a day, even if it was fast, it would take a month, a full 900 wen!
It’s time to have a good new year!
The families who were not selected did not dare to make trouble with Gu Dechang, so they secretly went to Gu Xiucai and made a scene, insisting that Gu Xiucai agree to let them build their houses tomorrow!
Gu Yuze's injuries had fully healed, but when he saw these scoundrels, his temper flared up immediately, and he kicked a gangster named Heiya who was throwing a tantrum in the yard, several meters away!
Before the gangster Heiya could react, Gu Yubai grabbed him by the collar and told him that his third brother had been seriously injured by bandits some time ago, and his injury had been aggravated by his anger today. He asked him to pay for the medical expenses, or he would break one of his legs.
Heiya had never seen anyone more shameless than him. He was a little overwhelmed and stared at Gu Yubai. He was the one who was beaten, right? !
Shouldn't the medical expenses be compensated to him? !
Why should he pay for the medical expenses? !
There are so many people coming to cause trouble, why do the two brothers only want to target him?
Heiya's brain, which was not very smart to begin with, was a little confused and he stared blankly at Gu Yubai and Gu Yuze.
Just when Heiya was confused for a moment, he heard a snap and felt a sharp pain in his leg!
"what!"
Heiya let out a heart-wrenching scream, which scared the thugs at the door so much that they quickly retreated from the yard and never dared to come back.
They had seen Gu Yubai break Gu Dazhuang's arm yesterday. After hearing Heiya's screams, they all regretted following Heiya's lead today.
"Will you pay me back? If not, I'll break your other leg too!"
"Ah! Ah! Ah! Good man! I'll pay! I'll pay!"
Heiya hurriedly took out 10 copper coins from his chest and handed them to Gu Yubai. Seeing Gu Yubai glaring at him, he quickly reached into his crotch and took out a small cloth bag containing 2 taels of silver.
Heiya cried as if his father had died.
"Good man! I have saved up this little money for my wife for many years, and I gave it all to you. I really don't have a penny left! Wuuwuwu~"
After Heiya finished speaking, he cried bitterly.
Gu Yubai took the silver with disdain, and with a click, he put Heiya's leg back in place.
Heiya cried and found that the pain in his legs was gone. He ran as fast as he could as if there was a ghost following him, and disappeared without a trace!
A few hooligans who were watching at the door were choked by the dirt kicked up by Hei Ya when he ran past and started coughing. When they saw Gu Yubai walking towards them with a bright smile on his face, they were so scared that they ran away screaming!
It was as if he was the King of Hell who was taking lives!
Gu Xiucai looked at his son helplessly, knowing in his heart that he couldn't use the gentleman's tactics to deal with these hooligans.
But seeing my son's increasingly violent behavior since he started learning martial arts, I feel that educating him is urgent!
Gu Xiucai immediately decided that starting from today he would teach Gu Yubai, Gu Yuze and Gu Yuan to read more books of sages and understand more principles, so as to prevent the three of them from becoming notorious bullies!
At this time, the three brothers Gu Yubai, Gu Yuze and Gu Yuan had no idea what kind of torture they would face because of their two acts of extortion. They were happy that the thugs in this village were too weak and they would be the bosses of this village in the future.
The three brothers have already started imagining a wonderful life as the king of Gujia Village!
"Oh my god! My god, the son of the new son of the mason Gu is so scary, he's just a gangster!"
One of the gangsters ran a long way before he stopped and leaned against a big tree, gasping for breath.
"Bullshit! He's a gangster. He's much more shameless than gangsters like us!"
A very self-aware gangster said while holding onto a tree and gasping for breath.
His words aroused great approval from the thugs nearby, and they all nodded vigorously in unison!
"I can't afford to offend you! I can't afford to offend you! Look, Black Fang's wife has already lost everything!"
A gangster who was lying on the ground gasping for breath said with a look of fear on his face.
