Chapter 222 We went to the wrong door
Gu Xiaoxi didn't expect that there would be still noise on the last night before her departure, and she didn't expect that what she said to Song Qiaoer today was heard by more than just Lao Dong's wife.
Lao Dong, the man of Lao Dong’s sister-in-law, also heard it.
He pondered what the two women said and thought that they might be moving away.
However, everyone in the village knew that Gu Xiaoxi's family was now the richest. Later, at the instigation of his wife, he called people from nearby villages to rob them.
These are all unfamiliar faces, and Lao Dong feels that they will definitely not be noticed.
Unfortunately, Lao Dong didn't expect that the old patriarch Gu was not sick at all. So, when these people rushed in, the old patriarch Gu pointed at one of them and cursed: "You are so good, Lin Damao, you are here, Lao Dong is here too, right?"
Lin Damao didn't expect to be recognized as soon as he arrived, and subconsciously took a few steps back.
Lao Dong, who was hiding in the crowd, lowered his head and tried his best not to be discovered by them.
He originally wanted to take advantage of the situation and bring these people here so that he could get some benefits, but he didn't expect to be pointed out so quickly.
Bang!
Gu Xiaoxi took the big knife he had seized during the day and chopped off the leg of a chair with one stroke.
"I'll give you one last chance. Either get out now, or your family will pay the ransom later!"
Seeing the big knife in Gu Xiaoxi's hand, several men in front became scared.
Gu An rolled up his sleeves and was about to take action, but was stopped by Gu Yunfei.
"Lao An, this is your big day. You and Lao Ping go to the bridal chamber, and leave this to us." After saying that, Gu Yunfei rushed to the kitchen and took out two kitchen knives, and gave one to Gu Yunju.
Ying San and Ying Si also took out the daggers from their waists, ready to have a good fight.
Dashun and Ershun rushed to the woodshed and took out a few hoes. Gu He asked his two younger brothers to enter the new house.
Lin Damao looked at the whole family, then looked carefully at the girl standing in front of him.
Isn’t this the girl who beat up the boss last time?
Gu Xiaoxi also saw the person clearly and said with a sarcastic smile: "Oh, isn't this cousin Luo Dayong's little follower? So you are not from our village, but from Linjia Village?
how?
Do you want me to come to your house and greet your whole family in person?"
"No, no, no, it's a misunderstanding, haha, a misunderstanding, we, we went to the wrong door." Lin Damao was scared when he saw that it was Gu Xiaoxi.
This crazy woman beat more than a dozen people by herself. I guess there are people at home who can fight. There are only about twenty people coming. If they don’t get any advantage, they may even become disabled. This deal is not worth it.
"Really? Then what are you here for?" Gu Xiaoxi asked with interest.
Lin Damao noticed the wedding character posted on the door and suddenly had an idea: "I, I was passing by and saw the wedding character posted on your door. I came to congratulate you, hehe..."
As he spoke, he took out ten cents from his pocket and handed it to Gu Xiaoxi.
Those who followed Lin Damao were immediately stunned.
Aren’t they here to rob?
Why should we give them money?
"Those who gave gifts can leave, and those who didn't can stay. We are still short of some odd jobs here anyway.
"Doing odd jobs here earns you two meals a day, but if you don't do your job well, I'll cut off your arms and throw you out. If you're willing to stay, I'll welcome you." Gu Xiaoxi said these malicious words with a very bright smile.
Lin Damao subconsciously looked at his arm, turned around and said to the brothers behind him: "Give me some, otherwise we will be in big trouble."
Bandits were rampant during this period, and they became more and more rampant.
Lin Damao took a group of brothers and went around the villages and got some benefits. After hearing what Lin Damao said, these people obediently took out money from their pockets.
Lao Dong doesn’t understand why Lin Damao is so scared at this time?
Didn’t we tell them that Gu Xiaoxi was the richest person in the village? Why didn’t they rob him but instead gave him money?
Soon it was Lao Dong's turn, and the old patriarch got angry when he saw Lao Dong.
Grandpa Laoliu said, "Laodong, we are all old acquaintances. Today, Gu Ping and Gu An are getting married on the same day, so the gift you give should be at least double.
If you don’t have enough, I’ll ask Yuntian and Yunfei to go to your house to get it.”
Lao Dong knew that this kind of thing could not be made public. Once the villagers knew that he brought people from other villages to rob, his family would no longer be able to live in the village.
With trembling hands, he took out twenty cents from his pocket and reluctantly stuffed them into Gu Xiaoxi's hand.
"Thank you, Uncle Dong. It's getting late, so we won't delay you from making money.
"But I also want to remind you all, if you do too many immoral things, be careful not to give birth to sons and grandsons who are blind!" Gu Xiaoxi cursed unceremoniously.
Two people in the crowd were so angry that they wanted to hit Gu Xiaoxi, but were pulled away by Lin Damao.
The group of people who had originally been robbing just dispersed.
However, the lock on the gate was broken, so two more people will be needed to keep watch tonight.
After Lin Damao and his men left, Lao Dong chased after them.
"Da Mao, what are you doing? This family is the richest, why don't you rob them and give them money?" he asked in confusion.
Bang!
Lin Damao slapped Lao Dong hard in the face, and then angrily cursed, "You stupid bastard, that's Gu Xiaoxi. My boss and several of us are no match for that bitch.
You're not asking us to make money, you're asking us to die!"
After hearing what Lin Damao said, a man in the crowd said with fear on his face: "That woman just now is the one your boss was talking about."
"That's right, that woman has great martial arts skills. There are only about twenty of us, but she can knock down at least ten of us.
"There were so many people in that yard just now. Do you think we can match them? Let's go quickly. If that woman feels that there are fewer people and catches up with us, we won't be able to escape." Lin Damao said and started running.
His group of brothers hurriedly followed him, leaving Lao Dong behind in a daze.
Lao Dong looked back with a depressed look on his face, and went back angrily to deal with the woman at home. If it weren't for her instigation, he wouldn't be so embarrassed today.
After sending these plague gods away, Gu Xiaoxi divided the "gifts" they gave into two parts and asked his father to give them to his second uncle and younger uncle.
After closing the yard door, Yingsan moved a jar to the door to prevent the strong wind from blowing the door open.
Chai and Xue brought out the prepared dinner. If it were an ordinary day, for such a festive occasion, they would at least have a hot pot.
However, they were worried that bandits might appear at any time, so they decided to eat fried rice tonight.
After dinner, everyone took turns to rest.
Tonight everyone should put the things they need to move onto the carriage, and then stay in the rooms here so that they can leave tomorrow morning.
That night, there was a storm outside, mixed with shouting, and it was obviously very restless. Ying San and Ying Si brought people to guard the front door and the back door respectively, and no one dared to close their eyes.
