Chapter 107 Asking the Gu Family for Compensation

"That's right. Even if he gave her ten pheasants, Luo Shuyan probably wouldn't even get a sip of chicken soup! If he gave them to that family and raised them fat and strong, wouldn't they be more powerful when they beat and scolded Luo Shuyan?"

Everyone burst into laughter.

Luo Shuyu heard these words from a distance, gritted her teeth, stomped her feet, and turned and ran back with tears in her eyes.

When Qi saw her, she couldn't help but frown and scolded, "Where have you been going crazy again? Why don't you hurry up and light the fire and cook for me? Go get some water first. There's no water in the water tank, and there's no firewood left. Go chop firewood with your father tomorrow morning!"

Luo Shuyu felt more and more aggrieved, covering her eyes and sobbing, "Why do I have to do everything? How can I do so many things? Why don't you bring Luo Shuyan back? She did all these jobs! You don't have the ability to order her around, so why do you order me around? Wuuwuwu."

This made Qi furious. She slapped her on the back and cursed, "Shut up, you idiot girl! Why are you mentioning that unlucky star?"

Luo Shuyu sneered: "That unlucky guy is living a good life now, eating delicious food every day."

Luo Shuyu angrily told the story of how Lin Mo sent game to the Zhao family every day, and how today he had hunted a large wild boar and brought it directly to the Zhao family. Qi Shi was furious and jealous, and could not help but slap her twice and scolded her, "If you're envious, go ahead and sell yourself to the Zhao family as a slave! Bah, you're so proud of being a slave? The Zhao family is playing them for fools. Just wait and see, the real show is yet to come! Who do you think you are!"

Luo Shuyu was both embarrassed and angry. She wiped her tears and ran out.

Mrs. Gu San had just returned from washing vegetables by the river. When she saw Luo Shuyu running away crying, her eyes flashed, as if she was thinking about something, and a sneer appeared at the corner of her lips.

The Zhao family had more people and more strength, so they quickly cleaned up the wild boar.

Then, a large iron pot was placed on the stove in the kitchen and cooking began.

The four bowls of dishes, including shiny reddish braised pork with winter bamboo shoots, thin stir-fried pork with chili peppers, stewed pork ribs with winter melon, and stir-fried pork belly with sour chili peppers and beans, were served steaming hot on the table, overflowing with fragrance, so tempting.

The combination of fresh ingredients and superb craftsmanship is praised by everyone who can eat it.

Gu family.

In the morning, the Gu family smashed and looted Tian Wang's house. But in the evening, Tian Wang called a group of people to go to the Gu family and demanded that the Gu family compensate them for the medical expenses and the damage to the house with two taels of silver, otherwise the matter would not be over!

The more Tian Wang thought about it, the angrier he became. Why was he being wronged?

The Gu family never expected this and were almost mad with anger. How dare they ask them for money!

However, Tian Wang brought more than a dozen people who were making a lot of noise. Unless they were paid, Tian Wang's group would not move at all.

"Why did you beat me up for nothing? And you even smashed our house? You're not that unreasonable! If you don't pay me, can I smash your house too?"

"You dare!"

"Why do you dare to do it but I can't? Aren't you guys too much of a bully?"

The people Tian Wang brought with him chimed in, "Isn't it okay for you to bully people like this?", "It's unacceptable to smash up other people's homes for no reason!", "Unless you produce evidence!", "That's right, if you can smash up Tian Wang's house today, are you going to smash up ours tomorrow?", "You need an explanation today."

Mrs. Gu Er was so angry that she almost yelled, but she was glared at by Mr. Gu Er. She was so angry that she dared not say a word and cursed in her heart.

If it were in the past, they would just smash and destroy, even if they wrongly accused Tian Wang and the others, so what? They didn't dare to say a word! This is really a case of villains getting ahead and looking down on others. When the eldest brother and husband were injured, they turned their backs on them one by one, and even a coward like Tian Wang dared to come and cause trouble.

In the end, it was Boss Gu who spoke up, said a few polite words, and gave Tian Wang two taels of silver, and the matter was finally settled. Everyone was somewhat bewildered by his reaction, and they took the silver and left, still feeling like they were dreaming.

Has Boss Gu changed his personality?

Everyone looked at each other in bewilderment.

Tian Wang himself was also a little uneasy, as if the silver was hot in his hands. "Is it okay to take this silver? Is it okay?"

Everyone has some fears in their hearts.

One person patted Tian Wang on the shoulder and said, "Hey! What can't you take? You should take it!"

“Yes, yes!”

“It’s only natural!”

"That's right!"

Everyone talked and laughed, encouraged each other, and soon everyone felt at ease.

Tian Wang grinned, "That's right! This is only natural!"

"Exactly!"

Everyone left together and went home.

The majesty that the Gu family had accumulated, like the oppression of a mountain, collapsed at this moment.

Early the next morning, Lu Qifeng, the son of Lu Daming, came to the Zhao family and said that his father and Uncle Lin had agreed that everyone should go to their house to discuss hunting together.

Hu Ling nodded and agreed.

After Lu Qifeng left, Hu Ling spoke to Zhao Xiang and the others, and Zhao Xiang said, "Let's go there and hear what everyone has to say. This matter still needs to be done."

"That's what my godfather said."

Because the Gu brothers were so despicable and shameless in causing trouble, last time so many people went into the mountains solemnly, they ended up coming back without even seeing a single hair of prey.

It is true that the Gu brothers are finished, but the task assigned by the government still needs to be completed. Moreover, this matter cannot be delayed and it is best to do it as soon as possible.

Lin Mo and Yu Xiaofang also had breakfast at Zhao's house. After breakfast, they went to Lu's house with Hu Ling.

Zhao Liya also went together.

When they arrived, the spacious main hall of Lu Daming's house was already packed with people.

Seeing them coming, everyone greeted them with smiles and greetings.

This is the Zhao family and Lin Mo!

Lu Daming smiled and asked them to sit down. "I've been waiting for you. I think most of the people have arrived. Let's discuss what to do about this matter."

Lu Daming's family was considered a relatively strong one in Yan Village. He had two sons, Lu Qishan and Lu Qifeng. One was twenty years old and married, and the other was sixteen. He also had a brother, Lu Xiaoming, who had a son and a daughter. His son, Lu Qiling, was seventeen, and his daughter, Lu Chunmei, was fourteen.

Although the brothers had separated their property, their houses were adjacent to each other and the relationship between the two families was very good. In addition, the Lu Daming brothers were only in their early forties and in their prime, so the Gu family would give some face to a family like them.

Originally, everyone was discussing going into the mountains to hunt, and there was nothing wrong with that. However, the more Zhao Liya listened, the more she felt something was not right.

She didn't know if it was her illusion, and whispered a few words to Hu Ling.

Unexpectedly, Hu Ling immediately said, "I feel the same as you."
