Chapter 238: Becoming Proud
This is the case with the Zhao family, but the other three families are completely different.
The Gu family was overjoyed: they were finally going to make a breakthrough again!
Second Sister-in-law Gu was grinning from ear to ear, her harsh eyes filled with hostility: "God has eyes! God really has eyes, our Gu family is finally going to turn things around! Humph, I was saying, how long can the Zhao family be so proud? Look, here it comes!"
Boss Gu had been lying down for too long, and his skin had become abnormally pale, which made his deep-set eyeballs look even darker. The black and white were so distinct that it startled people when they first looked at him.
This good news made Boss Gu very happy. He specially called Gu Lao San to talk to him privately.
They wanted to curry favor with Mao Dexing before, but unfortunately they failed, as Mao Dexing simply didn't bother to pay attention to them.
Now that the opportunity is here, I naturally can't miss it.
Whether or not I can get revenge depends entirely on this time.
Boss Gu knew very well that this was the only chance and the Gu family must seize it.
The brothers Lu Daming and Lu Xiaoming were also very happy and beaming.
Their family had originally been quite respectable, but once Boss Gu had successfully aroused their ambitions, they could no longer relinquish them. They had thought that with the Gu family's support, they could rise to prominence and stand at the top of Yan Village's food chain. Unexpectedly, before they even reached the top, the Zhao family nipped their ambitions in the bud.
Afterwards, the Zhao family became very popular and naturally became the leader of the village. It was impossible for the Lu family not to feel lost and depressed, but what could they do?
There is no way they can compete with the Zhao family.
Now that the opportunity is here, only a fool would refuse it!
The Lu Daming brothers discussed the matter happily for a while, and then ran to Gu's house under the cover of night. They wanted to tell the news to Boss Gu and ask him for some advice.
When Brother Lu Daming came, Boss Gu understood. It was just right. With these two brothers, the third brother would have someone to help him.
Boss Luo was a little confused.
What does this mean? Master Mao asked him for help? This...
Boss Luo felt like a pie fell from the sky and hit him, feeling elated.
He had been a coward all his life and never thought that there would be a day when he would be valued by others.
Qi was also very happy and sneered, "Since Young Master Mao values you, then you must follow him and work hard! I think this must be Shuyu's credit, otherwise, how could Young Master Mao remember you? I'm afraid he wouldn't even know who you are! Did you see that? You said Shuyu was shameful before, huh, but in the end, she was the only one who helped you! You don't think that bitch Luo Shuyan is shameful, but what's the use? She won't even call you dad!"
Boss Luo lowered his head and dared not say a word. After a long while, he said, "I, I am not ungrateful. Of course I will do my job well."
Let people see that he is also a capable person!
Luo Lao Da was full of energy and excitement. He felt that he had to do something, so he thought about it and ran to Zhao's house.
The Zhao family, the Gu family, and the Lu family were all working on this, so he might as well go and discuss with the Zhao family how to proceed. By the way, he could also let his daughter Shu Yan see that he was capable.
Boss Luo ran to Zhao's house excitedly and knocked on the door, which scared people late at night.
Widow Qu went to open the door and frowned when she saw Boss Luo. She instinctively became wary of hostility and said, "It's Boss Luo. What can I do for you?"
Boss Luo felt his back straighten up a lot, and said with a smile: "Young Master Mao must have sent someone to you to pass on the message? He also went to our house and included me in the management! From now on, our two families will be in charge together. I came to discuss what to do next. When do you go to the Mao family in the city tomorrow? Let's go together!"
The more he talked, the darker Widow Qu's face grew. She spat on the ground and sneered, "If you want to go, go by yourself. Why are you showing off here? Discuss? Who would discuss with you? Oh, congratulations! You've given birth to a wonderful daughter. You've done yourself a great service!"
Boss Luo was stunned, his fiery enthusiasm instantly being poured with a bucket of cold water, "This——"
Widow Qu sneered: "Anything else? If not, get out!"
While Boss Luo was still in a daze, Widow Qu slammed the door shut.
Boss Luo stood there in a daze for a moment, then turned and left.
He felt a little sad and confused. What was going on? They were all going to work together, so what was the Zhao family's attitude? Were they unwilling to have others interfere in other people's affairs, and only cared about managing their own affairs? This was too overbearing.
Widow Qu returned to her room and angrily recounted Boss Luo's intentions. She sneered, "This man is truly... As expected of Luo Shuyu's biological father, he's no good! Ha, how dare he come here! What nonsense is he saying!"
Aunt Li Shiyi also scorned him: "He's so happy working for someone like Mao Dexing. It's really despicable. I didn't expect him to be that kind of person."
Zhao Xiang shook his head: "Don't worry about them. The Zhao family won't get involved."
The next morning, Han San accompanied Uncle Hu into the city and went to the Mao family.
When Uncle Hu saw Gu Lao San, the Lu Daming brothers and Luo Lao Da at the Mao family, he didn't even blink.
"I'm an outsider, visiting a friend. Logically, this matter has nothing to do with me. However, Mr. Zhao has to teach children in several villages, and Xiaoya and the others are not at home, so I had no choice but to come. The Zhao family will not interfere in this matter. The Zhao family remembers what Young Master Mao said and would never dare to interfere. If they make Young Master Mao angry again in the future, that would be bad. Besides, Young Master Mao now has so many helpers, he doesn't need the Zhao family anymore."
Mao Dexing sneered: "This is the order of the county magistrate, and you Zhao family dare not listen?"
Uncle Hu laughed, "Impossible! There are still capable people in Gaolian County. The County Magistrate can use anyone, but instead he only focuses on promoting and employing fugitives. If this gets out, wouldn't it become a joke?"
"you!"
Gu Lao San sneered, "Uncle Hu, the County Magistrate is the father and mother of Gaolian County. We should do whatever the County Magistrate says. Does the Zhao family have any objections?"
The Lu brothers all echoed, "That's right! Does that mean Gaolian County is under the control of your Zhao family?"
Boss Luo also wanted to say something, but he moved his lips but didn't say anything. He didn't dare to.
Mao Dexing said proudly: "Did you hear that?"
Uncle Hu smiled and said, "That's wrong. The Zhao family naturally listens to the County Magistrate, but Young Master Mao clearly looks down on the Zhao family and forbids them from getting involved. Now he's contradicting himself? Young Master Mao is willing to contradict himself, but the Zhao family doesn't dare to do anything else. Otherwise, they'll offend Young Master Mao again, and wouldn't that turn a good thing into a bad one?"
No matter what was said, Uncle Hu just refused to give in and left after he finished speaking.
Mao Dexing gave a look, and housekeeper Mao stepped forward to stop them, followed by five or six servants with unfriendly and covetous eyes.
