Chapter 79 Gu Yushan was beaten
Is there any good thing that falls from the sky in this world?
According to what the village chief said, the man must have heard her conversation with Hua Chao. He might have been holding a grudge against them for not helping him and was thinking of ways to take revenge.
If I take the jade pendant and go to his house, wouldn't that be walking into a trap?
And there's this thing about the jade pendant and the life-saving grace, which sounds like a tragic love story. It's either a substitute or a shield.
No, no, absolutely no. "Uncle Village Chief, I know you don't want to take the credit for a little girl like me, but saving people has nothing to do with me. It really has nothing to do with me."
Seeing Gu Jiayue's reaction, the village chief was panicked. Could this man really be a bad person?
Then... wouldn't I be in trouble?
Oh, if I had known this earlier, I wouldn’t have been so greedy for money.
"Okay, he's still in my house, I'll return the jade pendant to him right away." How about returning the silver to him as well?
Saving your life is important. If you lose your life, what’s the use of having money?
After the village chief left, Gu Jiayue asked Hua Chao to call Hu Zi.
"The busy farming season is over, so we need to start planning the school. Take your eldest cousin with you to the village chief's house to help recruit workers."
Hu Zi nodded quickly and said, "Okay, Miss."
"We are recruiting a lot of workers this time. I think almost everyone in the village wants to go. How do you think we should arrange them?" Gu Jiayue wanted to test Hu Zi.
Hu Zi had done a good job in the tasks she had given him before, but building a school was no small matter, so she was still a little worried and wanted to test him a little.
Hu Zi also noticed it and was extremely excited.
He knew very well that as long as he could handle this matter well, he would have a firm foothold in the young lady's heart and his future prospects would certainly be no worse than Kangzi's.
He thought for a moment and said, "Miss, although building the school is urgent, we can't hire just any worker. I think we should recruit men between the ages of sixteen and forty, and women who are married, with the maximum age being thirty-five. People in this age group are in their prime and have the strength to work hard. Those who are too old or too young are not suitable for this kind of heavy work. And we can't hire those who are cunning and sly either."
"Furthermore, I think we need to divide the workers into groups. Each group should have a leader who will be responsible for managing the people below. If we have any problems, we can just go to him. This way, work arrangements won't be too troublesome."
Hu Zi spoke out everything that came to his mind.
Gu Jiayue nodded, basically hitting the nail on the head.
She turned to look at her cousin beside her and asked, "Brother, do you think there is anything else you need to add?"
Gu Yushan groaned, then scratched the back of his head and said, "I think Hu Zi said it very well. I hadn't thought of what he said."
My eldest brother’s personality is somewhat similar to that of my eldest uncle. They are both honest, quiet people who just work hard.
Gu Jiayue didn't make things difficult for him and said, "It's okay. Although you haven't been attending classes with us during this period, Yuhe has taught you quite a few characters in his free time. Now I'll hand this matter over to you and Huzi. You should watch and learn more from Huzi, and ask if you don't understand anything. Over time, you will grow up."
After hearing this, Gu Yushan quickly waved his hands and said, "No, no, no, I can't do it. I don't know anything, how can I be in charge? Let Hu Zi go alone. I will follow Dad and Second Uncle to help you with the work at hand."
He was almost crying with anxiety. He had never taken care of anything in his life. His grandparents arranged everything for him to do every day, and he just followed them without having to think about anything.
Now my second sister wants him to manage the construction site? He really can't do it!
Before Gu Jiayue could say anything, Grandma Gu took out the sole of her shoe and spanked Gu Yushan on the butt in frustration.
Grandma hasn't hit him since he got married!
He covered his butt and looked at his grandmother in disbelief.
A few days ago, he saw his grandmother beating Yuhe with the sole of her shoe, and he missed the days when he was beaten by his grandmother.
But today, when his grandmother's shoe sole hit his butt, Gu Yuchuan just wanted to cry.
Grandma, he's married now, so please stop hitting him.
Grandma took back the sole of her shoe and said angrily, "You are useless. All you do is dig in the fields all day long. What kind of future can you have? Jiayue is giving you a chance because you are her brother, but you don't know how to cherish it."
The eldest aunt also reacted and hurried forward to pull Gu Yushan, "Your grandma is right, you are Jiayue's eldest brother, you should help her more. Whatever Jiayue says, you should do it."
Gu Yushan understood it in his heart, but he was still afraid that he couldn't do it well, so he said, "But I really can't do it."
Grandma took off her shoes again and held them in her hands, saying, "Don't you dare say another word! I told you to ask if you don't know the answer. Don't you have a mouth?"
"Okay, okay, I understand. Hu Zi, let's go quickly and don't let the village chief wait anxiously." Gu Yuchuan covered his butt reflexively and pulled Hu Zi away before his grandmother's shoes fell.
On the other hand, after the village chief returned home, he found the man who was recuperating in his house and returned the jade pendant and silver.
The man raised an eyebrow as he looked at the returned items on the table and asked, "What do you mean, father-in-law?"
"Sir, we didn't save you for any thanks. We only cared about saving a life. During the time you were at my house, we were busy farming and didn't pay much attention to you. If I accepted your thanks, I would feel guilty. So please take the things back."
The village chief spoke in a high-sounding manner, but he had no idea that his heart was bleeding.
Ten taels, that's ten taels of silver, and that letter, although it has no practical use, it is a favor, and it may save his life in a critical moment. Now that he has been rejected like this, he feels that he will not be able to sleep for half a month.
The man smiled, pointed at the jade pendant and asked, "Is that girl the same as you?"
The village chief nodded repeatedly and said, "Yes, that girl also said that no reward should be given without merit. Returning to the village to report the news is just a small effort. She cannot be called a lifesaver. Please don't take it to heart."
The smile on the man's face grew wider.
This country bumpkin was truly interesting. He had never met such a fool who wouldn't accept money. "Father, why don't you tell me the girl's name so I can go and thank her in person?"
How could the village chief agree to this? Jia Yueke had already said that this man must not be told her identity. "No, the girl has made it very clear. She only did a little favor and does not want to be a lifesaver. Please don't embarrass me. It's getting late, you should set off early. If you are late, you won't be able to enter the county town."
Looking at the village chief's hurriedly leaving back, the man felt that these villages were very interesting and he didn't want to leave.
How about staying a few more days?
And that woman who doesn't want to reveal her name, is she really unwilling to accept the favor of saving her life, or is there another reason?
It's really mysterious.
But the more this happened, the more interested he became.
