Chapter 69 Offended by Minor Villains
When Gu Yu took out another twenty taels of silver from his embrace, the foreman didn’t say a word and immediately began directing his men to work on the foundation.
Money makes the mare go; you can build however you want!
To build a good house, the foundation must first be laid strong. However, not too many people are needed for now, so the foreman had the idle workers prepare to build the walls.
As for the materials for building the walls, the foreman had already made arrangements and would send people to call for the carts carrying bricks and stones later.
However, because he didn’t expect… Gu Yu needed so many bricks and stones to build the walls, he had to reorder several batches of bricks and stones.
Although the foreman earned some commission in the process, it wasn’t much. Being able to buy a few more pieces of meat for his family and have a cup of small wine was enough to satisfy him.
When Gu Yu saw that he wanted to build the perimeter wall immediately, he suddenly remembered to put nails on the wall, so he mentioned this to the foreman as well, asking him to prepare the materials.
Because iron was relatively expensive in ancient times, Gu Yu took out another five taels of silver from his embrace and instructed the foreman to ensure the nails were installed properly.
Afterward, Gu Yu didn’t linger at the construction site. After giving a few instructions to the foreman, he left.
Since Gu Yu paid for everything, the foreman could just come here to build the house from now on. When the money was all spent, he could come to Gu Yu for more.
Gu Yu was now a hands-off manager, not needing to worry about anything but spending money. Once the new house was built, he could directly move in with Mengyao Gu and her brother.
As for the aesthetics of the new house, Gu Yu felt that houses in ancient times all looked similar, with no real distinction between beautiful and ugly.
Moreover, large mansions like that required the owner of the house to have official titles or merits in ancient times… meaning, they had to be people of status.
Otherwise, commoners weren’t even allowed to use large doors.
Therefore, it wasn’t surprising that Gu Yu didn’t pay much attention to the design of the house. Besides, Gu Yu didn’t have much sentiment for Yang Family Village.
If he made a lot of money in the future, Gu Yu had even considered… taking Mengyao Gu and her brother away from here.
However, these were all future matters. For now, it was more practical to get the new house built.
Living in that leaky thatched hut all the time made Gu Yu feel cold when he slept at night, so much so that every morning upon waking, he had to stay in his quilt for a while longer to warm up.
This is very realistic and not an excuse Gu Yu made for oversleeping!!!
While the house was being built with great enthusiasm on one side, Gu Yu ambled up the mountain on the other, preparing to bring back some wild game to store.
The space had already doubled in size, and Gu Yu figured he could catch more to store. Anyway, it wouldn’t spoil in the space, and it would still be fresh when taken out.
Thus, with the idea of catching one if he could, Gu Yu harvested quite a few wild chickens and rabbits on his way up the mountain, and even encountered another wild roe deer.
Perhaps it was because there was more food to eat in autumn, which made these animals seem foolish. Gu Yu merely caught sight of them, and without any surprises, directly collected them into his space.
Of course, not everyone had a convenient space like Gu Yu, so Gu Yu was really overthinking things… Before anyone could get close, these wild chickens and rabbits moved as if their feet were greased, darting away extremely quickly and being impossible to catch!
Gu Yu happily caught game all the way, and as he gradually approached the deep mountain area, he stopped.
Originally, given the current size of his space, even a tiger wouldn’t scare Gu Yu… However, Yang Cao’s previous visit to Mengyao Gu had sounded an alarm in Gu Yu’s mind. He thought he couldn’t let the villagers see him going up the mountain.
And even venturing into the deep mountains!
Otherwise, if those people stopped looking for his wife and started asking him for help, it would be troublesome.
“You say, will Mengyao Gu really come?”
“Definitely! I revealed it to your daughter this morning. If you want to be saved, you must have Mengyao Gu come up the mountain.”
Just as Gu Yu was about to turn and leave, he faintly heard voices ahead. Upon catching the name “Mengyao Gu” from the conversation, Gu Yu immediately stopped, held his breath, and continued to listen intently.
He wondered if he had indeed offended some minor villains recently, as so many people were coming to cause trouble for their family. What a pain!
