“Village Chief, you can’t drive us out of the village just because of Gu Yu’s words! We have been living here all along, and now driving us elsewhere is going to kill us!”
“Madam Li, things are like this now, nothing you say will work! Hurry up and pack your things and leave Yang Family Village!”
As the Village Chief quickly made up his mind, Madam Li, who was standing beside him, saw his thoughts. At this moment, she immediately let out a wail and started crying.
The sudden sound startled the Village Chief. When he realized it was Madam Li, he sighed helplessly and said he couldn’t do anything.
Who told her to provoke Gu Yu and now she has to suffer the consequences!
After Madam Li heard the Village Chief’s words, she was stunned and her expression changed rapidly, her performance almost catching up to a Sichuan opera mask change!
However, Madam Li had a realization at this moment.
If she wanted to stay in Yang Family Village today, she had to satisfy the Gu family, and satisfy this kid Gu Yu!
Hmph, he’s just a child, she has ways.
Thinking of this, Madam Li brewed her emotions, then stood up and ran towards Gu Yu, her snot and tears streaming down. The people around her immediately recoiled a few steps in disgust, avoiding getting dirty.
But Madam Li didn’t care, she ran towards Gu Yu wholeheartedly!
Looking at Gu Yu’s smiling face, Madam Li thought unhappily… This kid Gu Yu is really annoying every time I see him. I’ll wipe my snot and tears on his clothes later, and see if he can still smile.
The clothes Gu Yu is wearing look quite expensive!
Even if it doesn’t kill him, it’ll disgust him to death!
“Gu Yu! I’m sorry to you and your father, I beg you to be magnanimous and spare our family!”
As the words came out of her mouth, Madam Li was about to reach Gu Yu. A malicious look flashed in her eyes, and she was about to smear her snot and tears on Gu Yu’s clothes.
However, at this moment, Gu Yu sprinkled some medicinal powder from his hand.
And after Madam Li came into contact with the medicinal powder, she immediately fell straight to the ground, not getting close to Gu Yu as she had planned.
Even if Gu Yu thought with his feet, he would have known Madam Li’s intentions were malicious. Besides disgusting him with her snot and tears, she might have also knelt down and kowtowed to him.
After all, even though Gu Yu had no blood relation with the Old Yang family, they were the ones who raised Gu Yu’s father.
If Madam Li were to kneel, it would be very troublesome later.
So, Gu Yu sprinkled a handful of medicinal powder to avoid trouble.
Instantly, the world became quiet.
After Madam Li fell to the ground, many onlookers shouted that someone had been killed. Their screams were so loud, as if Gu Yu had stabbed them with a knife, making Gu Yu frown and think how much these people liked to meddle.
Does Gu Yu look like such a fool to commit murder in public?
“Village Chief, I see Madam Li is very agitated, so I used medicinal powder to let her sleep for a while. She will wake up in an hour. You can continue now.”
When the Village Chief looked over, Gu Yu explained, which reassured the Village Chief. He then knew that Gu Yu really intended to drive the Old Yang family out of the village, with no room for negotiation!
Even if the county magistrate came to dissuade him, he probably wouldn’t be able to stop Gu Yu.
Thinking of this, the Village Chief no longer held onto any hope and directly yelled at Xingwang Yang, who was tired from running.
“Xingwang Yang, hurry up and leave! Yang Family Village can’t keep your Yang family anymore. If you don’t want to suffer the disaster of imprisonment, then leave!”
When Old Yang’s Father heard the Village Chief’s words, he wasn’t as agitated as Madam Li. Instead, he instantly looked ten years older, his back bent even lower, and his face was filled with worry.
He looked nothing like the vigorous old man Gu Yu saw when he first transmigrated, but rather as if his neck was buried in the dirt, looking like he wouldn’t live much longer.
Seeing Old Yang’s Father’s appearance, Gu Yu snorted disdainfully, thinking that he had brought it upon himself.
He deserved it!
“Village Chief, we will leave! But, there are a few mu of land in Yang Family Village. I want to sell the land now.”
“Alright, I will give you the corresponding silver according to the current land price. You… take care.”
Afterward, when Gu Yu heard the conversation between Old Yang’s Father and the Village Chief, he knew that the matter of driving out the Old Yang family was settled!
From now on, his Gu family would not have to worry about trouble finding them!
“Village Chief, the matter is almost handled. I hope you can finish this matter properly afterward. By the way, regarding Zhiwu Yang wanting to stay… I don’t want to see any of the Old Yang family in Yang Family Village!”
“Okay, I will definitely resolve this matter.”
“However, Zhiwen Yang’s family, who has already separated, is not within this scope. Seeing that their family is quite honest, there’s no need to drive them out! Alright, we should go back and rest. We might have to help the county magistrate tomorrow.”
When the Village Chief nodded, Gu Yu smiled in satisfaction. Then, he didn’t stay put but left with Mengyao Gu and her brother.
As for the onlookers, seeing Gu Yu about to leave, they immediately parted to the sides, quickly clearing a path for the three Gu family members to leave.
It seemed that after Gu Yu adopted a tough stance and drove out the Old Yang family, the villagers’ impression of the Gu family had also changed.
Although the villagers might fear the Gu family in the future, Gu Yu thought… they usually didn’t have much interaction with the villagers, so there was no need to worry about this.
Anyway, as long as trouble doesn’t come to their door, everything is fine!
“A Yu, has the Old Yang family really been driven out of the village?”
“It’s true.”
“How can I feel like I’m dreaming? Pinch me quickly, see if this is a dream!”
On the way back, listening to Mengyao Gu’s words, Gu Yu felt a sense of amused exasperation, wondering how much his “little wife” hated the Old Yang family.
She still looked like she couldn’t believe it, unsure if the Old Yang family had really been driven out.
Gu Qingheng beside them also looked dazed, lost in his own thoughts.
Gu Yu could guess some of the reason for the siblings’ disbelief. It was likely because they had been bullied severely by the Old Yang family before…
Although the Gu family’s life had improved now, the memories of the past were like a thorn, always stuck in their hearts. Seeing the Old Yang family would make them uncomfortable.
However, due to various reasons, they couldn’t act against the Old Yang family before.
And now, cutting the Gordian knot and driving out the Old Yang family made it understandable why Mengyao Gu and her brother felt like they were dreaming.
“Pinch you? I can’t bear to, how about a kiss instead!”
“Disgusting~ Qingheng, you’re still here! Let’s go over there, quickly.”
“Sister, I heard everything! Ahhh… I’m still a child, why are you doing this to me!!!”
