Yuan Decai was not as strong as Gu Jianguo to begin with, and with the addition of the young and strong Gu Wei and Li Bin, how could he possibly be a match for him?
After being dragged outside the gate, he was furious, feeling that he had lost both face and substance, and that he had been treated this way by someone he had always looked down on, which made his resentment even more difficult to dispel.
He jumped up, pointed at Gu Jianguo, and cursed, "How dare you treat me like this? Have you forgotten who your family relied on to get here? If it weren't for us, you'd still be farming in the countryside! Believe me, I'll have your landlord kick you all out right now and make you live in the open!"
Gu Jianguo glared at him and sneered, "I believe you. Why wouldn't I believe you? What are you capable of? You cheated us out of our money and didn't pay it back. A few days ago, you even cursed my wife to die and be reborn soon. Luckily, some good people helped us, and she's lucky to have survived. Otherwise, do you think I would be talking to you so nicely?"
Not only did Yuan Decai feel guilty and avoid Gu Jianguo's gaze.
Zhang Chunqin, who had caught up with them, was speechless for a moment.
After all, they did do some of the things.
When Gu Jianguo went to their house, he said that Li Guizhi was sick and hospitalized. How could they know it was true? They thought it was a new trick to get money, so their words were inevitably a bit unpleasant.
I later found out from asking around that it was true, so I decided to come and see for myself today.
Gu Wei's eyes shot like knives at Yuan Decai and Zhang Chunqin.
He suddenly had some guesses.
Could Grandma's passing be related to these two relatives?
That's why his grandfather never mentioned this place or its history to him.
Neighbors who heard the commotion and came out to see what was going on also started talking amongst themselves.
Zhang Chunqin quickly retorted, "Who cheated you out of your money and isn't paying it back? Don't make false accusations! We came here today because we've made progress on our work issues. Who would have thought you'd be so unreasonable as to kick us out!"
"Stop using work as an excuse. We've been here for so long, and we've already paid you. When have we ever gotten anything done? And yet you still have the nerve to ask us for food, drink, and favors? Do you deserve it?"
At this moment, Li Guizhi was helped out by Gu Hongjie, and Gu Jianguo quickly stepped forward to support her other arm.
Li Guizhi was utterly heartbroken by this illness and had truly had enough of them. She said firmly, "For the sake of my third aunt, let's just leave it at that. We don't want the money anymore, and from now on, let's pretend we're not related!"
Zhang Chunqin snorted coldly: "If it weren't for your father's sake, do you think my mother-in-law and we would even bother with a bunch of poor relatives like you? You..."
Yuan Decai knew that if he continued to make a scene, people would only gossip more, so he tugged at Zhang Chunqin's wrist: "Stop talking! Let's go!"
Zhang Chunqin angrily shook off his hand: "Look at the kind of relatives you have! I won't come even if you beg me in the future!"
The two walked away, one after the other.
They went back inside.
Gu Jianguo said apologetically, "Oh, I'm sorry. They ruined what was supposed to be a nice meal."
Gu Wei raised his glass: "Grandpa, it's alright. It's good to cut ties with these relatives. We should have a drink to celebrate!"
"Yes, yes. Let's all have a drink then."
The people at the table raised their glasses and clinked them together.
Although the atmosphere was somewhat affected, it soon improved considerably.
After all, it's rare to have such a sumptuous meal, and everyone was very satisfied.
After the meal, Li's mother and Li Qiang left.
Li Bin, however, chose to stay and help with the tidying up.
Gu Wei could tell that Li Bin had something to say.
The two quickly went to the back garden.
"Brother, I've been running around all morning and I did find a suitable house near the street, but they're only selling, not renting."
Gu Wei's eyes lit up immediately. "How much? What's the situation with the house?"
He had considered buying a house before, but nowadays most houses are allocated by work units, and very few are available for sale.
That's why I thought of renting a place to open a shop first, and then buying it when I find a suitable place later.
Li Bin was somewhat surprised by Gu Wei's reaction.
But then I remembered that the God of Wealth is a wealthy person, so I felt relieved.
"They want eight hundred yuan, not a penny less. The house is quite old, built in the 1950s when the forest area was being developed. It's a log cabin, but the front storage room can be converted into a mud-brick structure. It's quite close to the primary school..."
Gu Wei made a decision instantly: he had to buy the house.
Not only will we open a shop then, but we'll also find an opportunity to transfer my grandfather's household registration from the countryside.
To avoid being treated as a vagrant again, and being discriminated against, bullied and treated differently.
He could also pull some strings to add himself to the household registration, thus gaining a legitimate identity in this time and space.
"When you have time, take me to see it."
"Big brother, I'm available anytime."
Gu Wei increasingly recognized Li Bin's competence and was considering recruiting him into his team.
"Okay, I'll go take a look later. Don't worry, I won't let you help me for nothing; you'll get plenty of benefits in the future."
Li Bin was overjoyed, feeling that his efforts had not been in vain: "Brother, if you need anything in the future, just let me know, don't hesitate to ask."
Gu Wei laughed: "We're already so familiar with each other, don't call me big brother anymore, let's just call each other by our names from now on."
Li Bin disagreed, saying, "Then I'll call you Brother Gu. Otherwise, I'll feel really uncomfortable."
"Okay." Gu Wei decided to go along with it; after all, it was just a form of address.
When Gu Jianshe and Li Guizhi heard that Gu Wei and the others were going to look at houses, they both wanted to go with them.
