Chapter 62: Flattering Appearance
Mrs. Gu scolded him in front of her, "Are you too ignorant of the rules? You keep eating all the food like this, aren't you afraid of starving yourselves to death? Over the years, our Gu family has done so much for this village, and has made so much effort. No matter what happens in this village, our Gu family is always there. If it weren't for our Gu family, the village would have been in a completely different place, with so many more troubles. But you, when you came, you ruined everything! If anything happens in the village in the future, who will take care of it? You have implicated the entire village, do you deserve it?"
Third Sister Gu also said, "You, the Zhao family, are really wrong this time! Are bandits and robbers easy to deal with? Since you found the person, why didn't you tell the village earlier? This time it was a fluke that the government arrested the person early, but what if the bandit escaped? What if the bandit escaped and took his anger out on our village, retaliated against us, and hurt people? Would you be able to bear it?"
Mrs. Gu: "For such a small achievement, you didn't care about the lives and safety of the whole village! Bah, you are too selfish! I don't know what your intentions are!"
Mrs. Gu said, "No matter what, you have to give the village an explanation, otherwise you won't be able to get away with it!"
"That's right! Otherwise, what will happen if everyone rises up like you? It will be chaos! Our village is already looked down upon by outsiders. If you continue to be so disregarding our village's interests and lacking unity, you will become a disaster sooner or later."
"If you had told the village earlier, and everyone had contributed together and made a contribution, wouldn't you have gained greater benefits? You are just selfish!"
Everyone in the Zhao family was speechless listening to the two sisters-in-law complaining and blaming each other non-stop, without even a chance to get a word in.
Zhao Liya was annoyed: "Have you finished talking? In the end, aren't you just jealous of the benefits our family has received for their contributions? What a joke! Do you have to take any benefits first? Are you the head of the village or the head of the clan? Even the head of the village or the head of the clan wouldn't do this! Last time I took our Ganoderma lucidum and I didn't even ask you, yet you still had the nerve to come to our door. What benefits have you not taken advantage of every family in this village? I haven't seen you do anything for them. Don't talk about your hard work and achievements, it makes people sick!"
"Don't worry, no matter what happens, we will handle it ourselves. We will never ask for your help, nor will we cause you any trouble. As for this matter, all those 'what ifs' you mentioned were lies. The fact is that the bandits didn't escape, and they didn't get a chance to retaliate. So what else is there to say? However, if anyone dares to pretend to be a bandit and run into the village to take revenge, don't let us catch them. If we do, we will put them in jail! You can leave now!"
Second Sister-in-law Gu was furious and said, "Zhao Liya, are you determined to go against our Gu family?"
Zhao Liya laughed and said, "That's funny. My family just wants to live a peaceful life, not cause any trouble. Why would we go against you? Have we ever caused you any trouble, or intentionally harmed you?"
Zhao Xiang: "My two sisters-in-law from the Gu family, we are all from the same village. We see each other every day, so why make things so awkward? Each family is responsible for finishing their own business. If you are not capable enough, you can ask for help. If you don't need help, then you don't need it. You don't need to worry too much! The Gu family has so many people who are diligent and hardworking. They don't have to worry about not having a good life!"
Second Sister-in-law Gu and Third Sister-in-law Gu were both disheveled in the wind!
Zhao Liya smiled inwardly. Her father was truly a good speaker! Look how fair and righteous his words were, how reasonable they were. However, whether or not the other party was happy to listen was hard to say.
After all, those who proclaim themselves kings want to reap the fruits of their labor rather than working diligently.
Hu Ling glanced at the two of them coldly: "We, the Zhao family, have no interest in your family's affairs, but you should not set your sights on the Zhao family, or you will pay the price! Why don't you leave?"
Mrs. Gu sneered and waved her hand: "Okay, okay, we'll see!"
Mrs. Gu didn't say anything else, but her face looked very unhappy.
When they got home, Mrs. Gu added fuel to the fire, making the whole Gu family scream in anger.
"The Zhao family is so despicable!"
Since they came, nothing good has happened. They are almost corrupting everyone in the village.
For example, in the past they would pick any vegetables they liked, as long as they didn't do it in front of the person. Even if everyone knew it was them who picked the vegetables, they wouldn't dare say anything.
But now, some families still dare not say a word, and some families with many family members, although they dare not say a word to them, beat their followers Hulu and others until they screamed in anger, insisting that it was Hulu and others who stole things, and even dared to curse and accuse them.
How is this any different than slapping them in the face?
But they can't say anything, otherwise they will be guilty. Although they are used to stealing, they still have to save face.
It’s all the Zhao family’s fault.
Second Sister Gu was furious and fanned the flames in the village, complaining about the Zhao family, saying they were selfish and only cared about themselves, with no regard for the villagers. If they had told the villagers about the bandit, why would they have waited for the officials to arrive? If the villagers had all come together, they would have surely captured the bandit and brought him to the government. Wouldn't that mean everyone in the village would have contributed? Would everyone have received a reward?
They, on the other hand, did it secretly and all the benefits were theirs.
Fortunately, it worked. If it hadn't, and the bandits had escaped, wouldn't I have hated them as well as the village? How would I retaliate against the village then?
They succeeded this time, but what about next time? And the next time?
So, they are selfish evil.
Mrs. Gu spoke with righteous indignation and awe, as if it was for the good of the whole village. The listeners did not dare to refute her, and occasionally they would hum or hum in agreement, but in fact they were rolling their eyes and complaining in their hearts.
Those who can survive in Yancun are not stupid. Those who are really stupid and dumb cannot survive in this place.
Everyone is afraid of the Gu family, but that doesn't mean they can fool everyone at will.
Everyone knows that the Zhao family got the benefit this time, and the Gu family is jealous!
Since they couldn't find any trouble with the Zhao family, they tried to incite everyone to go against them. Why?
Many families even felt that the Zhao family was really capable, and were eagerly waiting for the day when the Zhao family would be able to defeat the Gu family and replace them!
The Zhao family is much more kind.
Just look at how they build their house and how you buy groceries, and you'll know how fair their prices are and they're not picky.
They would come back from the mountains picking mushrooms and bamboo shoots, and when they met villagers, they would smile and give them a handful of mushrooms or a few bamboo shoots, and greet them with a smile. Did the Gu family ever give anything to anyone? No!
