Chapter 2: He Threw Me Like a Chick
Gu Yu knew Chen Gouzi, especially when Chen Gouzi put in a lot of effort to drive away the Old Yang family.
Hearing that Chen Gouzi’s hand had been broken, he returned to the house, informed Mengyao Gu and her brother, and then returned to the village with the Village Chief to check the situation.
“Qingheng, why are you following?”
“How could I not be here when something so big happened in the village! Brother-in-law, let’s go take a look together.”
“Go, go back and review your schoolwork. What are you always making trouble for?”
“Director Qingshan assigned this schoolwork last year, and I’ve already done it. I have nothing to do now, so why not go along and see the excitement!”
“…”
As they returned to the village with the Village Chief, Gu Qingheng also quickly caught up. When Gu Yu wanted to send him back, he saw Gu Qingheng say something that made him want to hit him with a look of helplessness. Gu Yu couldn’t hold back and hit Gu Qingheng on the head.
Gu Qingheng immediately cried out, “Ouch!” and quickly covered his head to prevent Gu Yu from hitting him again.
Gu Yu thought that while many people found learning problems troublesome, his younger brother-in-law found them effortlessly easy!
Someone like Gu Qingheng participating in the college entrance examination would definitely be a game-changer!
“Brother-in-law, just let me go! At worst, I won’t call you a monster in front of my sister next time.”
“You still dare to say that!”
“I won’t say it, I won’t say it!”
Upon hearing Gu Qingheng’s words, Gu Yu couldn’t help but glare at him. Gu Qingheng chuckled and quickly walked to the Village Chief’s side, preventing Gu Yu from driving him away again.
Seeing that Gu Qingheng was eager to join the fun and knew he couldn’t be driven away, Gu Yu stopped trying and quickened his pace, very curious about Chen Gouzi’s injury.
Everyone in Yang Family Village knew that Chen Gouzi was a good-for-nothing ruffian, but slightly better than Yang Zhiwu of the Old Yang family, as he at least went to town to work and earn money, instead of staying home and living off his parents.
However, Chen Gouzi was not good-looking and his family was poor, so no girl fancied him.
Even if Chen Gouzi’s mother wanted to buy him a wife, the family didn’t have spare money, so she gave up on the idea.
But a few days ago, Chen Gouzi mysteriously gave his mother one tael of silver, saying it was for saving up to get married. His mother was surprised and her first thought was, “Where did this kid steal or pinch something again?”
Under his mother’s questioning, Chen Gouzi spoke up confidently this time, stating that he had earned the money honestly and that it was given to him by Gu Yu!
Hearing this, Chen Gouzi’s mother was even more surprised. She hadn’t expected her son to get involved with Gu Yu. This was a good thing!
After all, the Gu family was no longer the pitiable family they once were. Now, anyone from the family was very outstanding!
If her son could interact with such people, maybe he would improve…
With this thought, Chen Gouzi’s mother didn’t say much more, only promising Chen Gouzi that she would save it for him to get married.
However, it would cost at least five taels of silver.
When Chen Gouzi heard that it would cost five taels of silver, he wasn’t too discouraged. He thought that the Old Yang family, a cash cow, was right next door, and he wasn’t worried at all.
Even after the Gu family drove away the Old Yang family, because Chen Gouzi had helped, Gu Yu was not stingy and directly gave Chen Gouzi ten taels of silver, which made him overjoyed, knowing he would have a wife soon!
With a wife, he would have a son!
The old Chen family would not be without descendants!
Because Chen Gouzi had helped drive away the Old Yang family, Gu Yu’s impression of him changed considerably. He then told him that if Chen Gouzi could work diligently, he could hire him to farm, and the wages would be even higher than working in town.
Upon hearing Gu Yu’s words, Chen Gouzi immediately nodded repeatedly, agreeing to Gu Yu’s proposal.
With a wife soon to be, Chen Gouzi also wanted to find a stable job that could support a family!
It had to be said that with a wife as his goal, Chen Gouzi became much more motivated. His transformation was so great that even his mother wondered if he was possessed by a ghost.
However, just as his future was bright, Chen Gouzi’s hand was broken, which was very puzzling.
It was precisely because of this that Gu Yu wanted to go and see.
If Chen Gouzi had not agreed to work for him, Gu Yu would not have been so leisurely at this moment.
After his employee was injured, Gu Yu naturally had to visit him.
It wasn’t far anyway.
If it were someone from another village, he would have let the team leader convey his regards.
With these thoughts in mind, Gu Yu and the others arrived at Chen Gouzi’s home. They saw a crowd gathered outside, completely surrounding Chen Gouzi’s house, making it difficult for the Village Chief to enter.
It also made Gu Yu lament that no matter when, there would always be people looking for excitement!
They could skip meals and forgo work, but they had to watch the excitement!
When Gu Yu and the Village Chief finally entered the inner room, Gu Qingheng had already squeezed his way in. He was currently curiously looking at Chen Gouzi, who was lying on the bed and groaning in pain. Gu Yu was truly impressed, thinking how his younger brother-in-law could weave through crowds so freely!
This was too amazing!
“Village Chief, Brother Gu, why are you here!”
Hearing the sound of someone entering the room, Chen Gouzi endured the pain from his broken hand, looked up at the newcomers, and immediately opened his mouth to speak. However, due to the pain, his voice was much softer, like a mosquito’s hum, almost inaudible if not listened to carefully.
Ever since Chen Gouzi connected with Gu Yu, upon seeing Gu Yu’s competence and financial resources, he had affectionately called him “Gege” (older brother). Although Gu Yu was younger than him, he didn’t feel awkward about it.
But Gu Yu felt awkward!
However, Chen Gouzi refused to change his address, so Gu Yu eventually let him call him whatever he wanted.
“What happened to your hand?”
Gu Yu ignored Chen Gouzi’s address. Seeing Chen Gouzi’s hand lying limply on the bed, he couldn’t help but frown. He thought that judging by the severity, Chen Gouzi’s left hand was crippled.
Who had used such heavy force?
“Don’t mention it. It’s my bad luck. Why did I have to stop someone and get beaten up? My hand ended up like this.”
“Stop someone?”
“I went to the foot of the mountain today to catch a rabbit to satisfy my craving. Suddenly, I saw a group of people in black clothing, wearing black masks even in broad daylight, looking around sneakily… I thought I could extort them, but one of them threw me like a chick, without any effort at all.”
Listening to Chen Gouzi’s words, Gu Yu suddenly had a bad feeling.
After just dealing with a Ghost Doctor Xi Ting, now Yang Family Village had a group of masked men in black?
Moreover, that area near the big mountain… was very close to their home.
