Chapter 724 726. Go and enjoy
He Lu said angrily, "You are the only one who can be a good person. The boss always brings that kid into the city. I don't believe that he didn't give him some benefits in private."
This is also what they dislike the most. Even if they did not follow into the city, they knew that there must be some private benefits involved.
Even if they didn't give money, sometimes they would go to the city to improve their lives, buy a couple of buns, steamed buns or something like that.
This is enough to make them jealous, how can they feel balanced?
"Don't say that." Mu Xi looked at Boss Yu who was walking in front, "Why did Boss bring Le Tian into the city? Don't you have any idea about it?
If you guys are like Lotte, who only works and doesn’t talk much, the boss will also take you with him.”
"You are the only one who can be a good person," Tian Lai Mi didn't want to let it go, and asked loudly to the front of the team, "Boss, why don't we see Le Tian? Did that kid find an excuse to be lazy?"
Boss Yu was in a bad mood, and now he was asked this question again. He turned around and shouted impatiently, "Le Tian will not follow us up the mountain anymore. He has gone to live a good life."
As soon as these words came out, the whole team was in an uproar, "Boss, what do you mean by this?"
"Didn't he follow you down the mountain to boil water that day? Could it be that he was spotted by those nobles from the city?"
"I think it must be true. It's only been an hour. Apart from those nobles, who else can take him to live a good life?"
“…”
“Don’t make wild guesses here, he has found his family.
His uncle is a high-ranking official, why would he hang out with us? "After Boss Yu finished speaking, he realized that his words were sour.
"Is this true?"
"When have I ever lied to you?" Boss Yu glared at the person who was speaking. "My uncle is a third-rank official. We can farm the land now because of him. From now on, we will be two different people."
"So he just left like that?" He Lu ran forward a few steps and said, "This is too inhumane. After all, we have been together for such a long time, but he just patted his butt and went to enjoy his life, leaving us all behind."
"Then what should we do?" Boss Yu vented all his anger on his face, "Take you with you? What for? Force others to continue to work for you?
He has just recognized his uncle, not his father. He doesn't know what will happen when he returns. It's fine if you can't help him, but you're still trying to get benefits. Do you think you're so shameless?"
He Lu, "Even if you don't care about us, Boss, you brought him back then. Otherwise, we don't know what state he would have fallen into now. Didn't he express his gratitude to you?"
Seeing the suspicious looks in his men's eyes, Boss Yu knew what they were thinking, "He just came back and has a few coins on him, don't you know that?
If you don't believe it, go ask Boss Wu and Boss Xie. They were all there at the time."
Mu Xi, "Actually, this is a good thing. Don't you always dislike Le Tian? Now that he's gone, you don't have to keep a close eye on him anymore..."
"You are such a blockhead. You helped him so much before, but he just walked away without even saying goodbye to you. And you are still here speaking for him."
He Lu turned to Mu Xi and said, "Why don't you chase him now? Maybe you can get some benefits."
Boss Yu reached out and grabbed Muxi's fist, "Stop arguing here. It's not normal for Letian to find his family and leave. If you want to go back to your own home, you can go!
I remember that you actually have relatives in a nearby village, and I won’t stop you if you want to leave.”
Now everyone fell silent. If those relatives had found someone to take them in, they wouldn't have ended up like this.
Seeing that they were finally suppressed, Boss Yu sighed and said, "Let's go to the trap and take a look. These nobles won't stay here for long. We must take advantage of this opportunity to make more money. That's the real deal."
Everyone stopped talking, but they still felt a little upset, and their footsteps on the mountain road were particularly heavy.
Muxi looked down at his straw sandals that were about to fall apart, shook his head, and quickly followed.

After Gu Wenheng finished his work in the yamen, he asked someone to call Gu Letian over.
Gu Letian felt confused the whole day. He didn't expect that such big changes had taken place in his family during the years he was away.
Fortunately, several of his cousins at home were all very kind-hearted. They took him to buy new clothes and made him look brand new inside and out. So he no longer stood out when standing among them.
When he saw Gu Wenheng, he called him "Seventh Uncle" stiffly and stood aside obediently.
Gu Wenheng pointed to the seat next to him and said, "Sit down and talk."
Gu Letian sat down beside him carefully and felt his back straighten.
"You've suffered a lot outside these years," even if Gu Wenheng didn't ask specifically, he knew that falling into the hands of bandits was definitely a last resort when one could no longer survive.
"In the next few days, you will stay with these brothers. If you need anything, just tell them."
Gu Letian nodded, "Uncle Qi, can I go back to the village again?"
Gu Wenheng looked at him but didn't ask.
Gu Letian said with shame on his face, "I want to borrow some money from Uncle Qi."
"What foreign debt do you owe?" Gu Wenheng paused.
"No, no." Gu Letian quickly waved his hands and explained, "I was brought back by the boss. I have been taken care of by him over the years, and some of the brothers under him are pretty good and have been helping me.
When I leave, I want to leave them some money as a token of my gratitude for their care over the years."
Gu Letian went from being excited about seeing his family to now calm down.
He also felt that he left very quickly. After all these years of getting along with these people, he was not a person without feelings. As he was about to face a good life, he also wanted to help these people.
Gu Wenheng touched the cup on the table and asked, "How much do you need?"
"Is five taels of silver okay?" Gu Letian said cautiously, "I want to buy them some food so that they can hold on for a while longer."
He also asked his other brothers, and only dared to ask this since his family is now a wealthy family in the village.
Gu Wenheng shook his head. Gu Letian was a little disappointed, but still said, "It doesn't matter..."
"Five taels of silver is too little, it can't buy much food.
Since they have done you a favor, our family must repay you.
I'll have someone prepare fifty taels of silver for you later. Although it's not much, it's enough for them to get through until next year's autumn harvest."
Gu Letian felt that this was a huge sum of money, and immediately shook his hands nervously, "No, it won't be that much. They usually go hunting, so they can at least provide some subsidy."
