69 Chapter 69 Condition
As soon as the village chief finished speaking, the donkey outside brayed. Gu Chengrui and Zhou Ying looked at each other, and Gu Chengrui said, “Since they’ve come to you to ask for a favor, I’m sure they really need a job. We can’t just stand by and do nothing.
“We must say this in advance; we will only teach them. The way they sell, the price drops, and the amount they earn has nothing to do with us. Don’t look for us if there’s any trouble.”
“That’s for sure. That’s their own business.” The village chief said, surprised.
“What do you want in return?” he asked.
“How about this? Whoever learns it has to send a strong laborer who can come here and help build a shed for the donkey in the backyard for two days. Or providing some clay and wood will do.” Gu Chengrui replied.
The patriarch and the village chief exchanged glances and immediately nodded, “Alright, it’s settled then. We’ll go and tell them.”
After a few polite words, they drank their cup of tea and left in a hurry.
That night, the two elders sent a letter. Everyone who accepted their conditions could start work tomorrow.
At the same time, Zhou Ying also promised them that she would teach the people who came how to grow bean sprouts.
Of course, the Gu family’s old mansion had also received the letter, which made Father Gu and Second uncle Gu quite angry. If the entire village was learning to grow bean sprouts, how could they still make money?
Thinking of this, Second uncle Gu growled, “What an ingrate. He would rather give the village a way to make money than us. ”
“They’ve gone too far. No matter what, we’re still a family. How can they help an outsider?” Gu Chengye immediately echoed that indignantly when he heard that.
“I told you, they’re…” Just as Mrs. Liu opened her mouth, Father Gu glared at her and said, “You shut up.”
“No, brother…” just as Mrs. Yao was about to plead, Father Gu glared at her and said,” You shut up too.”
“This…” Mrs. Yao still wanted to retort but was directly pulled to the side by Second uncle Gu.
“Uncle, father, you can only blame Chengrui for this matter. How can you blame aunt and mother?” Gu Chengzhi said indignantly as he supported Mrs. Yao, who had almost been pulled down.
“Brat, do we look like we can’t tell right from wrong? Do you know what your mother and aunt did this morning?” Second uncle Gu slammed the table and said in a bad mood.
“What…?” After Gu Chengzhi heard this, he looked confused and then looked at Mrs. Yao.
When Mrs. Liu and Mrs. Yao heard this, they immediately retreated to the side with guilty expressions.
Suddenly, Mrs. Qiao said in a neutral tone, “Chengrui planting bean sprouts were spread by the two at the village entrance. Otherwise, how would the village know about it?
“What they’re doing is equivalent to cutting off Chengrui’s source of income. Do you think that he will teach you now?”
“But Chengrui shouldn’t teach everyone else.” Mrs. Yao said unhappily.
“Hmph, if they won’t teach them, the entire village will be jealous and find trouble with them.
“Ultimately, it’s all because of your stupid and terrible decisions.” Mrs. Qiao rolled her eyes at her.
“It’s time for you to face reality,” she continued. “This is Shanghe Village, not the capital. Without the royal merchant’s title, and no one respecting you on behalf of the princess, no one will care about you. ”
“Indeed, it’s already good enough that they didn’t bully us.” Second uncle Gu paused for a moment before he continued, “Actually, Chengrui didn’t say that he wouldn’t teach us. He just wants sister-in-law and your mother to apologize to her. ”
“An apology? Can he bear taking my apology? Isn’t he afraid of shortening his lifespan?” Mrs. Liu immediately shouted angrily.
