Chapter 523: Thanks for your trust, I'll take this job
Yang Shuo suppressed his emotions and calmed down before saying, "After the house I built collapsed, the owner didn't let me check it out and just asked me to pay for it."
"Tang County Magistrate deliberately spread the word that I couldn't find any work during that period. When that person saw that I couldn't pay him, he hinted at something..."
"He actually wanted my wife to give him the money as compensation..."
"What? How can there be such a person?"
After Ran Qingxuan finished speaking, he suddenly thought of someone.
Yang Shuo wiped his tears, with deep hatred in his eyes.
"My wife was determined not to obey at first, but the owner of the house took advantage of my absence and said something to my wife, which made her willingly leave the child behind and go with him."
He knew his wife best, and all the money he earned in the capital was given to his wife to manage.
But when their house was searched, not much money was found in the storeroom. When the officials asked about it, his wife just said that the family had spent a lot of money.
The journey of exile was difficult and everyone had some complaints. Later, when they arrived in Zixi, Yang Shuo discovered that his wife was actually very resentful.
Feeling that he had wronged others, Yang Shuo never talked back when he was scolded. He was only thinking about how to make life better for his family.
Although his wife often complained, she never thought of leaving him until she was willing to leave him...
It was not until later when he took on more work, including building a house for a wealthy man in Los Angeles, that he realized that all this had a lot to do with the owner of the house.
When those people were having fun together, they learned that he had originally only built houses for royal relatives, and the source of the information came from his wife.
So many years have passed, but Yang Shuo still hasn't gotten over it.
So now, no matter how rich a person is, even if the money they offer to build a house for him is enough for his family to live on for a lifetime, he chooses to ignore it.
It can be said that all kinds of factors have come together to make life like this.
He kept this shameful thing in his heart for many years and never mentioned it to anyone.
Perhaps it was because he saw today that the once glorious people were able to live the same life as before after being exiled, so he couldn't help but tell it out.
Although Gu Yanchen didn't know much about Yang Shuo's family situation, he knew that he was a loyal and honest person. Apart from his eccentric temper, he also had a rigorous attitude towards work.
Moreover, he was able to stand out from tens of thousands of people at that time and climbed step by step to the position of Vice Minister of Works, which shows how much effort he put in!
It's just that his family arranged for him to marry his wife after he entered the palace as an official. Although her status was not as well-educated as the well-mannered young ladies from official families in the capital, she was considered a good match for him according to his status at the time.
Yang Shuo was exiled because Concubine Zhong wanted to vent her anger and show her family's power, but in the end it caused his family to be destroyed.
Not only did his parents die one after another, but even his first wife left him and their children. Not to mention him, I'm afraid no man in the world would be able to accept this.
Gu Yanchen poured him a cup of hot tea and comforted him: "Brother Yang, everything will pass."
Ran Qingxuan glanced around the room and asked in confusion, "Brother Yang, why don't I see your two children?"
Hearing this, Yang Shuo gave a bitter smile.
"The children are inside. It's too cold in winter... they can only... wrap themselves in blankets to keep warm."
Ran Qingxuan was in a complicated mood, and he stood up and said, "It just so happens that we bought a lot of quilts and clothes today, I'll take some for the children to wear!"
"That won't work. Life after exile won't be easy. Your whole family will need money no less than us. Or..."
"Brother Yang, don't worry too much. My sisters-in-law and my wife also make money to make a living, and our family is not short of money now."
"If you don't think about yourself, you should also think about the children."
Yang Shuo felt a little embarrassed to accept it, but when he thought about the fact that his two children didn't even have a decent piece of clothing in the winter because of him, he finally lowered his head and accepted Ran Qingxuan's kindness.
The room was clean, but there were two teenage children wrapped in a caked-up quilt huddled in the corner of the bed, which made people feel heartbroken.
After dressing the children and taking them out, Ran Qingxuan took out a lot of cakes and rice flour from the carriage.
Seeing the two children wolf down the pastries after getting permission, Gu Yanchen couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
Perhaps because he felt relieved after speaking his mind, Yang Shuo felt much better.
"I forgot to ask, what's the matter with you guys?"
Seeing this, Gu Yanchen also stated his purpose.
"We were previously harassed by the county magistrate and the county magistrate, and we almost didn't even have a place to live in the village."
"Not only that, they also prevented merchants in the town from selling building materials to us. We couldn't even find the people in Zi."
"Later, the Marquis of Zhenbei accidentally saw their evil deeds. He not only punished the county magistrate, but also told me to come find you."
…
"What...what did you say?"
Ran Qingxuan repeated, "That county magistrate has been dealt with by the Marquis of Zhenbei. All his evil deeds have been exposed. He will be taken to the street corner and executed tomorrow."
"Okay, okay, okay!"
Yang Shuo stood up and couldn't help but shout "good" three times. Seeing him walking back and forth in the yard in excitement, Ran Qingxuan confirmed his guess.
"Could it be that county magistrate who took Brother Yang's wife away?"
"Yes, it's him. God has opened his eyes. God has really opened his eyes!"
Gu Yanchen continued to comfort him, and it took a long time for Yang Shuo to calm down.
"Qian Ming asked for this, will Brother Yang go there tomorrow?"
"Go, I will definitely go..."
Yang Shuo seemed to be hesitant to speak, with a hint of hesitation in his eyes.
Ran Qingxuan could tell at a glance that he might be thinking about what would happen to his wife who had left Qian Ming.
No matter what, this is someone else's family business, and she can't say much. In short, no matter what, Qian Ming is dead this time.
"Let's not talk about this for now. Since you need to build a house, can you buy the materials?"
Ran Qingxuan: "I was lucky. I met a foreigner who came to Northern Qi to do business. I bought a lot of materials for building a house from him."
"As long as Brother Yang agrees, we can start building the house at any time."
"Thanks for your trust, I'll take this job, but there's one thing I need to make clear to you in advance."
"Brother Yang, please feel free to speak."
Yang Shuo seemed to have returned to his previous state, and formally said to the two people: "You provide the materials for building the house, but if I think they are not good, you cannot use them."
"Can!"
Safety is the most important issue. Even if Yang Shuo didn’t say anything, they would not use bad materials.
"I will plan the house based on the size of the land and the number of people. Of course, you can also let me know if you have any special needs."
At this point, Ran Qingxuan couldn't help but raise his hand.
"Brother Yang, now that we're here, would you like to take a look at the drawings I provided?"
Yang Shuo would naturally not refuse. If there was anything unreasonable, he would point it out directly.
Ran Qingxuan directly took out a stack of papers from his cloth bag and handed it to Yang Shuo opposite him, while Gu Yanchen also explained on the side.
