Chapter 187 Be careful, the gods have heard it, and the retribution will come to your son
"Come on, can you say something reliable?" Gao felt a little unhappy that Yu Banxian was still talking nonsense in front of her.
"Isn't what I said reliable? Do you think the word 'calculate' can only refer to matters concerning ghosts and gods? You must know that only human hearts need to be calculated the most." Yu Banxian sneered, with an unfathomable look on his face.
When Gao heard him say this, she seemed to understand something.
It seems like you are not talking nonsense?
She didn't say anything for a moment, but just used her eyes to signal Yu Banxian to explain clearly.
"You have told me countless times that your father-in-law doesn't like the second branch and doesn't want it to be prominent. Although those are your guesses, they are also based on your observations. So, I will just give it a try today to see how your father-in-law reacts. This trick is much more useful than what you said before."
Yu Banxian picked up the kettle on the table and poured himself a glass of cold water. After drinking it, he continued, "What you said before, for so many years, haven't you been using this trick to exclude the second house? But before this, your father-in-law and mother-in-law never had the idea of asking them to get out of Lao Cen's house. Why?
“Because it didn’t touch the root!
"But what I said today must have touched your father-in-law's bottom line. As long as he doesn't want the second branch to prosper, he will definitely cut off the second branch's chance of prospering. If this opportunity is to be cut off, the second branch will naturally be kicked out of the old Cen family! Of course, whether this will succeed or not depends on you!"
After Yu Banxian finished speaking, he felt dry mouth again.
After hearing what he said, he poured himself some water and told Gao to figure it out alone.
"I see." Gao quickly figured it out. "Your method is indeed better than what I said before. I finally understand why you have always had food to eat in the county town all these years, and why you have not been driven out..."
"Look at what you said." Yu Banxian was speechless. Is he that unbearable?
"If you can change your bad habits of being lazy and fond of gambling, with your ability, you can save some money and marry a wife, which is better than the current situation..."
As she spoke, Gao looked up and down at the room that Yu Banxian had found, "This is much better than living like this now!"
"Tsk!" Yu Banxian sneered, not taking her suggestion seriously.
"Okay, I know you don't like to hear these words, so should we split the profits?" Gao stretched out her hand towards Yu Banxian.
"Good sister, don't blame your brother for being ruthless this time. This time, your father didn't give me any money, and I can't share it with you." Yu Banxian leaned against the wall, glanced at her sideways, crossed his legs, and said lazily and somewhat roguely like a second uncle.
"What? Can't divide it? I saw it. My father-in-law gave you a huge package! Don't tell me it's full of steamed buns!" Gao looked at him sarcastically.
"Of course it's not steamed buns. However, I really put in a lot of effort this time. So, I don't want to split the bill with you. If you are not satisfied, you can go back and tell your father-in-law the truth and ask him to take back the package he gave me." Yu Banxian looked like a dead pig that was not afraid of boiling water.
At worst, you get nothing.
"You, you are sure that I dare not say that!" Gao was angry. She never thought that after so many times of cooperation, although Yu Banxian liked to be hypocritical, he still kept his words and never went back on his word. Why was he like this this time?
But she didn't know that what Yu Banxian was thinking at this time was that even if he wanted to find someone to form an alliance with in the future, he would not look for the Gao family.
If you want to find someone, look for that powerful girl from Old Cen’s family.
As for this package of things, although he agreed and it was supposed to be given, Gao didn't contribute anything this time, he was the one doing all the work.
The most important thing is that the elixir that woke up Old Lady Cen and Cen Fang was not given by Gao.
Then why should he split the bill with her?
"Yu Banxian, you don't plan to cooperate with me anymore, right? That's why you dare to be so arrogant?" Gao still didn't give up. What on earth was that package?
"Yes, you are worthy of it. You know me well enough!" Yu Banxian was not vague or evasive, but admitted it directly.
"You dead man..." Gao opened her mouth to curse.
"Hey, stop scolding."
Yu Banxian pointed to the top of his head and said, "This is a place where gods are above us. If you say something harsh, be careful that the gods hear it and punish your son!"
It can be said that he has grasped Gao's weakness perfectly.
Gao has known him for such a long time, but it was not until today that she truly witnessed the power of Yu Banxian's mouth.
"No wonder, no wonder you have been able to hang around in the county for so long and still have a meal to eat!" Gao gritted her teeth, and the words she said actually seemed to be somewhat sincere.
"Thank you for the compliment. After all, it's my old job, hehe." Yu Banxian let out a smug and cunning laugh, which made Gao so angry that she didn't want to stay here any longer and turned around to leave.
"Hey, wait a minute!" Yu Banxian called her again.
"What? Have you figured it out? You want to split the profits with me?" Gao paused and turned around. Although her tone was vicious, the expression on her face was clearly full of expectation.
"Not really."
Yu Banxian took out a few pieces of talisman paper from the table and folded them casually. "Here, take this back to your man. Didn't you just say that you wanted to get some talisman paper from me? Otherwise, you will go back empty-handed and have no way to explain. I won't charge you for these pieces. Just consider it my final reward to you as an old customer."
"...You are such a good Yu Banxian!" Gao was greatly disappointed and furious. It took her a long while before she squeezed out these few words from between her teeth.
Then she snatched the talismans and left without looking back.
Yu Banxian stared at her figure and shrugged.
He closed the door, went back and opened the package that old man Bao Cen handed to him. He stared at the glittering jewels inside, his brows furrowed deeply.
…
…
By the time Cen Dajiang drove the ox cart and brought Gao back home, disappointed and furious, it had already been dark for a long time.
They were both tired and hungry.
Fortunately, Mrs. Yu left some food for them.
"How is it? What did Yu Banxian say?" Yu stared at Gao and asked. They were the only two people there at the moment.
"It's okay. He said those things just to get the second wife out." Gao was a little tired and just answered simply.
"Are you sure? But no matter who hears those words, no one would kick out the second wife who is about to become successful!" Yu held on to this point. Anyway, she felt that she would not do such a stupid thing.
