85 Chapter 85 Ruckus
Zhou Ying smiled, turned, and took out her pepper spray, spraying it directly on his face.
“Argh!” Elder Qiao screamed. He covered his face and retreated a few steps, screaming non-stop.
Seeing this, Gu Chengrui stepped forward and kicked the last person’s chin. While he was in a daze, Gu Chengrui dislocated his arm and pushed him to the side. Then, he turned around and pulled Zhou Ying out.
When they rushed out of the house, they ran into the person guarding the entrance and a woman with a rolling pin.
Gu Chengrui immediately rushed to the man. Zhou Ying was afraid of getting injured, so she did not fight the woman head-on. She took her pepper spray and sprayed it at her three times. The woman could only cover her face and blindly wave the pin in her hand.
Zhou Ying saw this and went behind her with a smirk on her face. She kicked her butt, causing her to fall into the mud.
Gu Chengrui was also done. He smiled and shook his head. “Babe, let’s go.”
“Aye.” Zhou Ying responded and immediately ran out.
However, the two of them did not go home. Instead, they returned to Hongyun Restaurant and informed Chef Zhou of what had happened. They also explained that the goods might not be able to arrive on time tomorrow.
After returning home, the two gave Tian Jiawang his goods. They took two old hens and the medicine they bought from the interspace and went to their old house after locking up.
At the entrance, they found that it was full of people and could faintly hear the sound of women crying.
Soon after, they saw Sixth Aunt Gu standing on a ladder from her house, watching the commotion. The young couple went up to her, and Gu Chengrui asked, “Sixth Aunt, what happened? Why are there so many people around?”
When Sixth Aunt heard his voice, she turned her head and looked over. She immediately came down the ladder when she saw the two of them. Then, she made a shushing gesture at them and pulled them into her house before saying, “Something happened last night. Did you guys know?”
“I know. I was the one who bandaged and stitched up my father’s and second uncle’s wounds last night.
“But what’s going on now?”
“Someone died. You know about the shipwreck, right?”
“I know.”
Zhou Ying looked at Gu Chengrui in surprise, as this was the first time she had heard of this. It seemed that their old family was going to go broke this time.
She didn’t know why, but she suddenly felt a little happy. She wouldn’t have invented growing bean sprouts if they hadn’t mistreated the original couple. They might have been living mediocrely, but they wouldn’t be in such a big disaster.
She would like to see if they could continue hiding their money this time.
“The two families of the dead have come to demand an explanation,” said Sixth Aunt, “They are demanding a hundred taels each.
“Your mother and second aunt are crying about how poor they are.
“However, I don’t think they can avoid it this time. No matter what, they have to pay a large sum of money to solve it.
“And that boat, it’s a good mahogany-made boat, and they have to pay at least a hundred taels for that.”
Sixth Aunt looked at the things they were carrying and said, “I think you two should go back and only come back after this matter is over. Otherwise, Mrs. Liu and Mrs. Yao will definitely not let you off.”
The young couple looked at each other. They were really in a dilemma.
If they were to hide like this, what would their reputation be in the future?
But if they didn’t leave, Mrs. Liu and Mrs. Yao might demand something from them.
In the end, the couple nodded simultaneously and decided to go over. Because no matter whether they hid or not, if Mrs. Liu and Mrs. Yao chose to cling to them, they would not be able to dodge it.
It would be better to be on the higher ground so that they would have a good reputation. Thinking of this, Gu Chengrui asked, “Sixth Aunt, is the village chief and patriarch inside? “
