Chapter 70: Trapped in the middle, unable to advance or retreat



Gu Beiheng walked over to Su Qi and asked in a low voice, "Do you want to hire an accountant?"

"Okay. We need a young accountant. I'm afraid an older one won't be able to handle it." Su Qi thought about teaching the accountant a set of modern bookkeeping methods.

If I get older, I’m afraid I won’t be able to learn it.

"Fifth uncle's grandson is a good person, so we can let him come here to work as an accountant. He used to work as an accountant in a restaurant in Beijing." Gu Beiheng glanced at the group of people who were still receiving things. The stall will get bigger and bigger in the future.

There are a lot of things to worry about, and I really need a few people I can trust.

"Sure. Let him come to see me tomorrow." Su Qi pointed to a small courtyard next to the yard, where there were several rows of houses.

These were all built by Yingyi and his friends when they first arrived.

"Some people can be arranged to stay here. They have to be people you trust."

Su Qi thinks it’s okay to be a little stupid, as long as you are loyal and sincere.

"good."

Su Qi looked for a while and saw that everything was proceeding in an orderly manner.

She said something to Beiheng and went to the backyard.

Ying Shiyi had already found a craftsman and was tinkering with him, taking the blueprints with him, in the empty house in the backyard. After all, no one had ever built this kind of thing before.

Everything has to be done by trial and error.

Ying Shiyi has already memorized the drawings. He has a quick mind and is very interested in new things.

Having the blueprint is just to make it easier for the craftsmen to understand.

I would discuss with several craftsmen in the house, and when I felt like it, I would start working on my own.

"Eleven. Madam asks you to come over." Xianghe lifted the curtain and shouted into the room.

Ying Shiyi jumped down. "Coming right up."

Xianghe frowned:

"Go and clean off the dirt on your body. Don't offend the lady with your dirty body."

Ying Shiyi looked around and saw that he was indeed covered in mud. His hands were also filthy and unbearable to look at, and he felt embarrassed. "I'm going to change into clean clothes. Tell the lady that I'll be there later."

South of the stream, work is in full swing.

Many families in the north were also assigned jobs. Some went to Su Qi to find work, while others were waiting for Su Qi to arrange work.

Naturally, some people knew that if they offended Su Qi and Gu Beiheng, they would have no chance of getting a job.

It’s better to cling to the thighs of the first and second wives of the Gu family.

Fang Xiaoya is now in control of the Gu family's eldest wife. She has changed her previous style of listening to Zhang Yunyu in everything.

Now she is acting like the boss of her family, and Zhang Yunyu is trying to act like a mother-in-law.

Fang Xiaoya responded indifferently with just a few words.

How could Zhang Yunyu accept this?

"Bah, you used to sow discord. I always thought you were a good person, and you're my own daughter-in-law.

I listened to your advice on everything, and I used all the things that Beiheng sent back to subsidize you, both openly and secretly." Zhang Yunyu was annoyed, thinking that his own child would be obedient.

Who knew that when she gets ruthless, she would turn her back on people and lose all her prestige in the capital.

"You guys are so good. You've taken advantage of me, and now you're showing off to me. Fang Xiaoya, you usually pretend to bully your sisters and sisters-in-law, but now that there's no sweet treat, you're showing off."

Fang Xiaoya's timid eyes were red, and she looked at Zhang Yunyu timidly while twirling a handkerchief in her hand.

See someone coming.

He shook weakly, held his forehead with his hand and cried bitterly.

"Mother forced my second brother and his family to leave. Now she can't accommodate us? It's my Beihan's health that's the problem. No wonder Mother can't stand us."

Fang Xiaoya glanced at the others and saw that they were all staring at Zhang Yunyu with contempt.

Biting her lip, she bowed weakly, "Mother, please forgive me. It's all my daughter-in-law's fault."

"I should listen to my mother in everything." Fang Xiaoya covered her lips with her hand and said no more.

I can’t express how wronged I feel.

What else can anyone else not understand after reading this? This is the wicked mother-in-law torturing her daughter-in-law.

In the past, Su Qi and several illegitimate children were bullied by Zhang Yunyu, but now they are all gone.

Isn’t it just leaving Fang Xiaoya behind?

"Zhang Yunyu, I say you've reached the point. Xiaoya is such a good person, filial, well-behaved, and sensible." A woman couldn't stand Zhang Yunyu's arrogant attitude and immediately came up to her and scolded her, "What's your son like now? Instead of loving her well, you're bringing the same torturous tactics from the capital with you."

"You've also been tortured by your mother-in-law, so you should know the pain."

Someone followed up:

"Do you still think you're from a wealthy family? Look at how you're living in a thatched shack now. What's so great about that?"

Zhang Yunyu suffered a loss this time. As the saying goes, a barking dog never bites.

He fell flat on his face at Fang Xiaoya's hands.

He pointed at them and yelled:

"Bah! Which eye saw me torturing her? This vixen is the best at pretending to be pitiful to gain sympathy."

The woman in front rolled her eyes. "I didn't see you tormenting her. The Beiheng family is so powerful, yet you've repeatedly caused trouble for them. If she slacked off even a little, you'd have her under your thumb."

Fang Xiaoya is timid and cowardly. If she hadn't been bullied by you, how could she say that?

"That's right. A dog will always eat shit, and you still let others bully you?"

Zhang Yunyu was so angry that she wanted to go up and expose Fang Xiaoya's disguise to everyone.

But no one believed her.

Gu Jingru sat in the room and vomited continuously. She had absorbed too much luck.

We have to get rid of the bad air.

Her little face was pale and weak, but she had to absorb the luck of a lucky person.

Otherwise, if this goes on for too long, she will suffer the consequences.

Today I went to Mingfeng Town and walked from the beginning to the end of the town, but I didn’t see anyone with good luck.

Troubled times prevail.

Everyone has a gray head, only that family has colorful luck.

But you can't get close.

Gu Jingru was very anxious. If this continued, it would be useless to absorb too much luck from others. She didn't need anyone else to intervene; the consequences of the backlash alone would be enough to make her suffer.

Only by absorbing the five colors of luck can it be done. Like the gold, purple, green, white, and red of Su Qi's family.

Otherwise, find a way to get closer to them.

"Woo woo~"

The battle horn sounded.

Li Dapao and his men encountered Dai Viet soldiers. The enemy blew their horns, and the mournful sound spread in all directions.

Both sides fought a desperate battle.

Blood continued to spray on his face.

Li Dapao had only one belief: not to bring shame to Gu Beiheng. He swung the hammer in his hand towards the enemy, "Soldiers of the Northwest Army, kill these bastards for me."

Eighteen years later, I am a hero again."

A figure flashed behind him, and Li Dapao was stabbed by the enemy's sword.

He turned around and struck again with the hammer.

The enemy grew in number and hundreds of soldiers were surrounded.

"Deputy General Li, I, Niu San, will go first. Remember to give me a glass of wine before you go." After Niu San roared, he cut off the opponent's neck with the knife in his hand.

Then he fell to the ground, his eyes fixed on the clouds in the sky.

Smile.

"Ah, I'm going to fight you." Li Dapao and his men were blood-thirsty and only wanted to kill as many people as possible.

"Li Dapao. If you surrender, we will definitely treat you well. The current Northwest Army will sooner or later be in my pocket." Dongfang Mo rode a horse, holding a bow and arrow in his hand and aiming at Li Dapao.

"Bah. You're not even worthy of being my grandson." Li Dapao's eyes were red, and the big hammer in his hand slowed down obviously.

The round-the-clock battles had already consumed their physical strength.

"Then you go die."

Dongfang Mo sneered. Since he couldn't persuade him to surrender, he could only kill him.

Dongfang Mo pulled the bow and arrow in his hand tightly, and loosened his left hand with a slight pull of his lips.

The crossbow arrow rushed towards Li Dapao at a powerful speed. He was surrounded by the enemy and could not move forward or backward.
