Chapter 10 Can't See

Third Sister Gu smiled and said, "Zhao girl, we're all from the same village. Isn't it a bad idea to offend all the neighbors by doing this?"

Zhao Liya also laughed: "Third Sister Gu is right. We can't go back on our word and offend all the neighbors right after we get here. The people we hired are also neighbors! They are all from Gaolian County!"

Mrs. Gu blustered angrily, "What kind of neighbor is that? You did it on purpose, didn't you?"

Second Brother Gu also spoke angrily, "Neighbors are not the same, some are far away, and if you don't give face to the people of this village, your family will not associate with them in the future, right? If anything happens, don't expect us to help! What's the use of agreeing with those irrelevant people? Can't we just send them away?"

"that is!"

"It's settled then, we'll come early tomorrow morning!"

"Hey, let's go."

"No!" Zhao Liya was even more unwilling to compromise when she saw how shameless and overbearing they were. If she believed that they would really work hard, then she would be the biggest fool in the world!

"You don't have to come. The people we hired will never quit."

"Yes, absolutely!"

Zhao Xiang and others echoed and firmly supported Zhao Liya.

The Gu family's expression was very ugly: "You——"

"Stop! You can't come into our house!"

"Can't!"

The voices of Zhao Lin and Zhao Lixiang suddenly came from behind. Zhao Liya and others turned around and saw that the three children who came with the Gu family were trying to get into their house in a sneaky way, but were stopped by their younger brother and sister who were sitting on the doorstep on their left and right.

The Zhao family members' faces changed slightly, and they all remembered the not-so-good past and hurried over.

Mrs. Deng protected her own child and looked at the three children with some displeasure, "What are you doing?"

When the family passed through Luzhou on their way to exile, they stayed at the post station. The two sons of the post station chief had once broken into their house to steal things. When the two children discovered them, they became angry and even started a fight. In the end, although the children were wronged and injured, they had to take the initiative to settle the matter, which was very frustrating.

This incident left a deep impression on the two children, so now when they see a teenager trying to break into their house, they immediately become alert.

Zhao Liya sneered in her heart, thinking that no wonder he came to show off his power and brought his child with him!

She didn't expose it, and neither did the Zhao family, after all, no one broke into their house.

"Sisters-in-law, please go back!"

The Gu family child spat at Zhao Lixiang and Zhao Lin, saying angrily, "Hmph, stingy people, I won't play with you anymore! I'll tell all the kids in the village not to play with you!"

Mrs. Gu was also very dissatisfied: "What do you mean? What? Are you treating our children like thieves? Is this how you treat your neighbors?"

Mrs. Gu was even more blunt: "You didn't buy any snacks when you came back from the city today? You didn't even share some with the children. Is that how you behave?"

Zhao Liya smiled and said, "I'm so sorry, we're poor, how can we afford snacks? When I get rich in the future, I'll definitely treat you to a big meal!"

Since saying nice things doesn’t cost any money, Zhao Liya doesn’t mind saying a few more words.

It is definitely not a wise move to fall out with the village bully when you first arrive.

Mrs. Gu glared at her fiercely and sneered, "Just wait and see!"

The Gu family members had dark faces and rolled their eyes almost to the sky, and finally left after cursing.

"call!"

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

Mrs. Deng couldn't help but wonder, "They're so brutal, and they still say they'll build us a house at market price. Why do I feel, I don't believe it?"

The Zhao family members all laughed.

Deng was kind-hearted and simple-minded. She had lived a smooth life for most of her life before being exiled and had never seen such filth. Even she said this, which shows how inconsistent the Gu family's words and deeds are.

Zhao Xiang patted her shoulder gently and said, "Madam, this is the truth. You can only know a person's face but not his heart. In short, times are different now. We should not trust people we don't know."

Mrs. Deng nodded quickly: "I understand, I understand. You guys are the ones who make the decisions about family matters. I definitely won't make promises to outsiders."

Everyone laughed.

Zhao Liya said softly, "Don't be nervous, mother. We will protect you."

Deng's heart softened, and she gently rubbed Zhao Liya's hair lovingly and sighed with a smile: "Good child."

Although the Gu family caused a commotion, the family was not affected at all and quickly prepared dinner.

Zhao Liya and Deng took some time off to visit Widow Qu's house to deliver some snacks.

Widow Qu accepted it with a smile, and couldn't help but remind them a few times, both explicitly and implicitly: the Gu family is not easy to mess with, and they have obviously offended the Gu family, so they should be more careful in the future.

Zhao Liya asked with a smile: "Do they dare to kill people or set fires?"

Widow Qu was shocked: "Oh, how can that be possible!"

Zhao Liya smiled and nodded: "Well, it's good that you don't dare. Thank you Aunt Qu for reminding me."

After Zhao Liya and her daughter left, Widow Qu couldn't help but gasp in amazement. She gossiped to her daughter, Qu Yutao, "I never knew the Zhao family had such strong tempers and such a tough attitude. Their adopted son is quite large and looks tough, but I didn't expect Zhao Liya, a girl younger than you, to be so aggressive. Do you think they could win if they really went up against the three Gu brothers?"

Qu Yutao frowned: "How should I know? You meddle in so many other people's business!"

Widow Qu was dissatisfied: "How can this be considered a private matter? I think the Zhao family is pretty good. It would be great if they could win. Who in our village doesn't hate the Gu family? We just don't dare to mess with them."

Qu Yutao glanced at her and said, "You don't dare to provoke them, so you let the Zhao family do it?"

"Hey, kid—" Widow Qu said angrily, "The Zhao family's refusal to yield has already provoked the Gu family. Who asked them to do so? Anyway, we don't know how this will turn out! Oh, may the Buddha bless the Zhao family and bring them victory! Speaking of which, the Zhao family's adopted son looks like someone who's not easy to mess with. I just don't know what his temper and personality are like."

Qu Yutao immediately became alert: "What do you want to do?"

Widow Qu smiled lovingly: "If their temper and personality are good, and they have resolved their issues with the Gu family, I think -"

"Don't even think about it. I've already said it before, I won't get married!"

Widow Qu suddenly became a little angry: "Pah, pah, pah, what nonsense are you talking about? Can your mother harm you? You won't marry? Humph, if you don't marry, what will you do if I die?"

Qu Yutao ignored her and turned away.

Widow Qu sighed and was lost in thought.

It is impossible for a good citizen to marry a woman from a family of criminals like theirs. She would not let her daughter be a concubine, and her daughter would never agree to it.

There are only dozens of families in the village, and none of them has a man of marriageable age that she feels is suitable. Those bastards Mao Ya and Guang Tou want to take advantage of her daughter, but they are just dreaming.

But my daughter is growing up day by day. If she doesn't find a marriage, it is inevitable that there will be many suitors who will take the initiative to provoke her. But I am a widow and I can't support her.
