Chapter Forty: Wanting a Perimeter Wall
Regarding those guys who enjoyed watching the excitement and didn’t mind adding to the trouble, Gu Yu didn’t even want to bother with them. After he had chased them all away, Gu Yu then reached out and knocked on the door, signaling Mengyao Gu inside to open it.
“Sorry, I didn’t expect them to come so quickly.”
“It’s fine, Qingheng and I hid inside, and they couldn’t do anything to us. Besides, didn’t you appear in time?”
As the creaking door was opened, Mengyao Gu’s cute little face poked out. Upon seeing Gu Yu, her eyes curved into a smile.
Her soft and adorable appearance almost made Gu Yu want to reach out and pinch her cheeks.
She just looked a bit thin; she’ll need to eat more meat in the future to be well-nourished, and she’ll have a good feel to her then.
“It’s fine now. Those people from the Yang family probably won’t be coming for a while, so you don’t need to worry too much.”
“Yeah, come in quickly! Qingheng was almost scared to death when that group of people came to cause trouble just now.”
“Sister, can you stop making things up with your eyes wide open? If you hadn’t stopped me, I would have gone out and beaten that damned old woman… Brother-in-law, I didn’t mean to speak ill of your grandmother.”
“Forget it, you heard what I said before. I really want to cut ties with the Yang family now, so you all don’t need to feel troubled in the future. Just say whatever you need to say directly.”
After Gu Yu walked into the house, his younger brother-in-law Gu Qingheng ‘accidentally’ cursed Madam Li while speaking. Gu Yu gave him an exasperated look, knowing the kid was doing it on purpose.
He had already said that he didn’t want to have any contact with the people from the Old Yang family, so was this kind of obvious probing necessary?
However, Gu Yu didn’t really get angry with Gu Qingheng. After all, no matter how much he probed, Gu Yu wouldn’t change his decision.
If this could bring them some peace of mind, then so be it.
“What happened today served as a warning. To prevent anyone from coming to our house to watch the excitement in the future, I plan to build a perimeter wall around the house at the new residence.”
“I support that! Brother-in-law, our place is too dilapidated now. Even planting some vegetables in the yard always gets them stolen.”
“Yu, everything is up to you.”
Then, sitting on a stool, Gu Yu immediately spoke of his thoughts as he recalled what had just happened.
In ancient times, there were quite a lot of people who liked to watch the excitement, especially when something happened in the village, they would all flock over… To prevent encountering this kind of situation again in the future, Gu Yu immediately stated that he would build a perimeter wall around the new house to shield it.
Although it would cost quite a bit of silver, it was worth the money to avoid unnecessary trouble!
To make money, one must also know how to spend it.
Gu Yu’s desire to make money was also to improve his family’s conditions. If he were stingy like some miser in a novel, he wouldn’t be enjoying life.
Therefore, even though Gu Yu was frugal, it depended on the situation…
Of course, Gu Yu also had some little ulterior motives for building the perimeter wall… If Madam Li came knocking again after the new house was built, and the villagers who came to watch the excitement couldn’t get in, he could curse whoever he wanted in the house.
With these hidden, not-so-good thoughts, Gu Yu didn’t feel embarrassed at all. Instead, he felt it was best to build the new house quickly so as to avoid other accidents.
However, since it would cost silver, the family couldn’t just sit and eat without earning.
Therefore, Gu Yu still had to go to the big mountain every day, take the opportunity to catch more prey. Even if it couldn’t be sold, eating it at home could supplement their nutrition.
But, just as Gu Yu was thinking this, his vision suddenly blurred.
Turning his head to look to the side, he saw Mengyao Gu and Gu Qingheng’s faces also becoming blurry. Finally, the light grew dimmer and dimmer. In the second before Gu Yu lost consciousness, he heard a cold voice echoing in his ear.
