Chapter 193 You are no different from a robber
Not long after, Gu He and Gu An, who had received the news, came over, followed by the old clan leader Gu and Yang Lizheng.
Seeing so many people coming, Gu Tian’s wife’s brother simply sat down on the ground. He wanted to see if these people could beat him to death.
Gu Xiaoxi told the whole story to his family, the old clan leader Gu, and Yang Lizheng.
After hearing what Gu Xiaoxi said, Yang Lizheng immediately became angry. There had been a lot of things happening recently, and he was a little breathless, and now something like this happened.
"Which village are you from? Why don't you stay in your own village? Instead, you come to our village and make trouble.
Since you hate your village so much, I will tell your village head and ask him to expel you from the village.
However, since you took over Gu Xiaoxi's house today, you must compensate her for her losses, otherwise I will send you to the police now!"
Hearing that he was going to be expelled and sent to the authorities, Gu Tian's wife's brother panicked even more. He immediately stood up from the ground, patted the mud off his buttocks, and said in a gentle voice: "Don't be angry, Yang Lizheng. This is my fault. We will only stay for two days, and I will pay ten cents for rent."
"Nonsense, I saw you moving in half a month ago. Don't think you can stay hidden as long as you stay at home. Do you think that everyone in our Xixia village is blind?" The aunt who had just spoken to Gu Xiaoxi jumped out immediately.
Seeing that Gu Tian's wife's brother was lying, Yang Lizheng spoke again: "It costs more than ten coins to stay in an inn in town. The yard here is so big, and there are several people in your family. Ten coins a day is not expensive.
One hundred and fifty coins for half a month, and you moved in without asking, which is forced occupation. I will also fine you one hundred coins, a total of two hundred and fifty coins. Pay the money and get out, otherwise I will send you to the yamen now.
Anyway, the government has been catching robbers recently, and your behavior is no different from that of a robber, right? "
Robber!
Gu Tian's wife's brother naturally knew about this. He was so scared that his face turned pale, but it was absolutely impossible for him to take out two hundred and fifty coins.
"Sister, give them the money!" he said shamelessly.
"Where would I get the money? Stop dreaming!" After saying that, Gu Tian's wife continued to knock on the gate of the yard.
Bang bang bang!
There was constant knocking on the door, but Gu Tian stood behind it and refused to open it.
Are you kidding? That’s two hundred and fifty cents. How could he possibly give it to me?
Seeing that Gu Tian's wife knocked on the door but got no response, the old patriarch, Gu, shouted, "Gu Tian, get out of here, or I'll have someone break down the door!"
Hearing the clan leader's voice, Gu Tian knew he couldn't escape and could only open the yard door.
Look at the arrogant brother-in-law, the look in his eyes when he looks at his wife is like a knife.
Gu Tian's wife shrank her head in fear and stood aside.
Gu Tian walked up to the old patriarch and said with a playful smile: "Old patriarch, this matter has nothing to do with me. I told them a long time ago that this is someone else's place and they can't live there. But they just don't believe me. What can I do?"
"Do you think you can just push the blame away by saying there's nothing you can do?
This is your brother-in-law, and this is something that can't be changed. If you don't tell them that no one lives here, how can they move in?" Yang Lizheng asked in return.
"That's what my wife said, not me." Gu Tian continued to shift the blame.
"Your wife is yours, even if she makes a mistake, you have to take the responsibility.
"Okay, give them the money and tell them to move out immediately, otherwise you'll go to jail with them." Yang Lizheng said this clearly and distinctly.
He just didn't believe that he, a village head, couldn't deal with this brat.
Patriarch Gu found that Yang Lizheng was in a very violent mood, and he didn't know if something had happened?
Yang Lizheng has more power than the clan leader. Gu Tian did not dare to object and could only pull his wife and brother-in-law into the yard to discuss the matter.
Gu Xiaoxi and the others didn't know what the result of this family's discussion was.
After waiting for a while, Yang Lizheng became a little impatient: "Hurry up, I don't have time to waste here with you."
Crunch!
The door opened and Gu Tian walked out with a dark face. He reluctantly walked up to Gu Xiaoxi and took out two hundred and fifty coins and handed them to Gu Xiaoxi.
Gu Xiaoxi took the money away, but the other person held his hands tightly and refused to let go.
"Why, do you think two hundred and fifty is too little?" Gu Xiaoxi asked coldly.
Gu Tian had no choice but to let go and let Gu Xiaoxi take the two hundred and fifty coins.
"Okay, you guys move as soon as possible. I have something to do, so I'll leave first." Yang Lizheng said and turned to leave.
"Hurry up and move the things away!" Gu An yelled at Gu Tian angrily.
Gu Tian could only call his wife and brother-in-law to help move the things over there back to his own yard.
After they moved in and cleaned up the yard, Gu Xiaoxi changed the lock before taking his father and uncle back and inviting the old patriarch Gu back.
Patriarch Gu did not refuse, because he always felt that Yang Lizheng seemed to be hiding something from them. He wondered if he could ask Master Chen's men to go out and find out.
When we got home and sat down in the kitchen, Mrs. Xue poured ginger tea for everyone, which is good for keeping warm in winter.
Patriarch Gu took a sip of tea, looked at Gu He and said, "Gu He, have you noticed that there seems to be something wrong with Yang Lizheng today?"
Gu He listened and thought carefully, then nodded: "He seems very anxious."
"Yeah, I heard that he often goes to the town these days. I wonder if he wants to move to another place?" This is what the old patriarch Gu was worried about.
The world is in such a state of chaos these days. If there is no headman, their village will be in chaos at the slightest disturbance, and no one will have a good life.
Gu He quickly understood what the old patriarch meant, took a sip of tea and remained silent for a long time.
The old clan leader Gu looked at Gu Xiaoxi and said, "Xiaoxi, your friend has a wide network of contacts in the city. Can you ask them to find out about the situation in the border town?"
"Are you worried about something happening in the border town?" Gu Xiaoxi asked.
Patriarch Gu nodded and said worriedly, "Yang Lizheng has been here for many years, and he just wants a comfortable life. Unless something happens in the border town, he won't leave."
Gu Xiaoxi nodded in understanding and agreed, "Okay, I understand. I'll tell them tomorrow."
"Thank you for your help." Patriarch Gu smiled slightly.
"Why say all this? If something really goes wrong, we should make plans in advance." After saying this, Gu Xiaoxi got up and went to help with cooking.
After dinner, Gu An sent the old patriarch back. When he came back, he saw a few people sneaking around the village, so he followed them quietly.
At the same time, after Gu Xiaoxi told Ying Si what the old patriarch said, Ying Si went out and she also came to wander around the village.
