My Wife is the World’s Greatest Divine Martial General – Chapter 93

Chapter 93: After Showing Off His Power, He Wants to Leave? No Way!

Although Gu Yu was very displeased with the peddler’s snobby attitude, he was just passing by and not worth getting angry over.

Originally, it was up to the peddler how much he wanted to sell his goods for, and Gu Yu had no right to interfere with others’ freedom.

However, if the peddler had only been selling goods, it would have been fine, but he ended up bringing up other issues… If Gu Qingheng hadn’t told Gu Yu that the peddler wanted to beat him up, Gu Yu wouldn’t have paid any attention to this person at all.

But then, after Gu Yu spoke, the peddler brazenly spoke words of belittlement, which amused Gu Yu himself.

Who was the peddler to him?

And who gave the peddler the courage to speak to him like that?

Thinking about these things, Gu Yu raised the sugarcane candy in his hand with a raised eyebrow, and when the peddler saw the sugarcane candy wrapped in oil paper, his eyes immediately widened.

Just now, he had called these two country bumpkins who had never even eaten candy, but now this young man in front of him had directly taken out sugarcane candy bought from town, and it seemed to be quite a lot. He had misjudged them!

The peddler originally thought that rural families, especially children, wouldn’t have many opportunities to visit the general stores in town, saving them from asking for this and that, making their elders difficult… That’s why he had quoted exorbitant prices, wanting to sell some at a high price to make a few more coins in profit.

But he didn’t expect that after blowing his big talk, he would be seen through by a young man.

Sugarcane candy for six wen each, even townspeople wouldn’t be foolish enough to buy it. The peddler initially just wanted to trick children and make a one-time deal.

As a result…

He had truly shot himself in the foot!

“Tch, buying it when you have it at home, just playing with people! Hurry up and get out of here, I’m not selling anymore!”

“Why are you in such a hurry to leave! Didn’t you say we were country bumpkins who couldn’t afford expensive things like candy? Moreover, you had previously vowed that you wouldn’t do anything to damage your reputation, and this retribution! It came so fast. Fortunately, I didn’t say you’d go to hell at the time, otherwise, it would have been bad if it came true.”

Seeing that his scheme was exposed, the peddler frantically tried to leave, but Gu Yu wouldn’t have it!

Originally, Gu Yu wouldn’t have bothered to mock the peddler, but Gu Yu didn’t like what the peddler had just said.

Gu Yu didn’t care what others did, but if they were going to show off their power and then leave, no way!

“I’m selling the candy, I’ll set the price as I please, what business is it of yours?”

“From three wen to six wen, such a big difference in price, even eggs are two for one wen, you’re really making a lot! Forget it, I won’t make things difficult for you. At worst, I’ll follow you to any village you call out to in the future. You sell for six wen, and I’ll sell for five wen; you sell for five wen, and I’ll sell for four wen… Even if you eat all the meat, you have to let others have some soup!”

Gu Yu stood with his hands in his sleeves, his expression relaxed, but the words coming out of his mouth made the peddler’s face turn darker and darker.

This time, he had truly stirred up a hornet’s nest!

How did he provoke this little devil king!!!

Following him and lowering the price by one wen was obviously a blatant attempt to steal business!

Having witnessed that Gu Yu was no ordinary young man, the peddler dared not deal with him further. In the end, he directly produced a bag of sugarcane candy as an apology and then shamefully ran away.

Losing the wife and also the soldiers, he would never come to Yang Family Village again.

However, the peddler was not one to be bullied passively. He casually handed over the candy that the old lady with small feet had licked.

Even if he lost money, he still had to disgust this young man, who made him so difficult to deal with!

“Brother-in-law, you’re amazing! You got a whole bag of sugarcane candy without spending a single coin.”

After the peddler left, Gu Yu tossed the sugarcane candy wrapped in several layers of large leaves up and down in his hand, a cold smirk appearing at the corner of his mouth.

Let’s see if this peddler would dare to be rude to others next time.

Buying and selling, there is buying and selling, no one owes anyone, why look down on people with such arrogance?

Gu Yu’s personality was like this; sometimes, even if others hated him to death, as long as they didn’t fall out openly, he would play along.

But if the other party had no self-respect whatsoever, he didn’t need to pretend anymore.

The title of a gentleman was not that important to Gu Yu.

However, when he saw his younger brother-in-law looking at him with admiration, Gu Yu felt that it was necessary for him to explain.

Otherwise, it would be bad if a child with a good upbringing was led astray by him…

“This is all small stuff, but Qingheng, you can’t learn from this in the future. Don’t use underhanded tricks for small gains! I did that just now because I was unhappy with the peddler’s attitude towards me, so if I’m not happy, others shouldn’t be happy either. You can’t leave without paying a price.”

“I know, brother-in-law! I won’t use tricks for the sake of greed in the future. After all, others worked hard to get things, and I can’t get them without paying a price.”

“Yes, that’s right! And you must remember, when someone offends you, don’t think about repaying them tenfold or a hundredfold later. Solve today’s matters today; by tomorrow, it will be too late… Of course, don’t do foolish things like hitting an egg against a stone. Even if you can’t get direct revenge, it’s okay to get some interest back.”

“I remember! Just like that peddler, although he came to sell things, he spoke disrespectfully to me and even said he wanted to beat me up! This attitude is very bad, and I can fight back against him… as long as it doesn’t endanger my own safety!”

“Yes, when doing anything, impulsiveness can’t solve problems. You have to consider everything! Or rather, when you have enough strength, you don’t need to consider so much, just go for it!”

Fortunately, Gu Qingheng was a very smart kid. He not only understood at first glance but also drew inferences about other cases from one instance.

This made Gu Yu nod with great satisfaction, and he also raised his hand to pat Gu Qingheng’s little head as a reward.

Although he didn’t feel like he was corrupting his brother-in-law, Gu Yu instinctively felt that such words shouldn’t be heard by Gu Mengyao, or she might scold both of them together!

“Brother-in-law, what should we do with this candy!”

“The candy I bought from town is better than what that peddler sold. Take this bag of candy to eat with your friends. As for the candy the peddler gave, give it to the village chief!”

“Why? Sugarcane candy is so expensive! The village chief didn’t care about our family before, and now we have to give him something, I’m not happy about it.”

After discussing the fate of the sugarcane candy, Gu Yu thought about it and finally decided to give away the candy the peddler gave.

Just thinking about the peddler’s arrogant look made him unable to eat the candy, nor did he want Gu Mengyao and Gu Qingheng to eat it.

He wasn’t without sugarcane candy in his hands, so why force himself!

Therefore, Gu Yu, thinking about how to give away the sugarcane candy for maximum benefit, then remembered Village Chief Yang Hong.

However, this decision immediately made Gu Qingheng’s little face frown, his expression clearly unwilling, obviously unable to understand why Gu Yu made such a decision.

Yang Hong had never fulfilled his responsibilities as the village chief, at least not for the Gu family.

“Qingheng, you are still young, and there are some things you don’t understand clearly… Let me put it this way! We are still living in Yang Family Village, and when some bad people in the village eye our sudden wealth, their attitude is very impolite. They even climbed our walls at night wanting to steal our silver, do you remember this matter?”

“I remember, it was my sister and I who set traps that scared them all away.”

“Yes, even if our house is a bit far from the village, sneaking into someone else’s courtyard in the middle of the night is definitely not for any good. And why were these people so audacious? It’s because we don’t have an adult in charge now, making others think we are weak and easy to bully, a big piece of fat meat that cannot resist.”

Because Gu Qingheng had a good personality and was also Gu Mengyao’s younger brother, Gu Yu was not impatient. He explained sentence by sentence why he was giving the candy to the village chief.

One day in the future, Gu Qingheng would leave him and Gu Mengyao.

These were considered early education.

“Brother-in-law, is it because our family doesn’t have the ability to resist, so those people thought that even if they really stole the silver, it wouldn’t matter because no one would help?”

“That’s the reason. Yang Hong, as the village chief of Yang Family Village, although sometimes pedantic and indifferent, is still a good person, and he has a say in the village. This bag of sugarcane candy can be exchanged for an opportunity to befriend him, which is considered worth it. At least in the future, when we need to ask him for something, we won’t encounter too many obstacles.”

“Brother-in-law, I understand! When I see the village chief again, I won’t show a hateful expression on my face. Even if I really hate him in my heart, I can’t show it.”

“You don’t need to force yourself so much. Just treat him as someone you don’t know. I’m doing this because in the future, when you participate in the imperial examinations, you’ll need to obtain three letters of recommendation from the villagers, otherwise, you can’t take the exam.”

Seeing that Gu Qingheng understood quickly, Gu Yu smiled and then revealed another reason.

He was still waiting for his brother-in-law to become a high official and then enjoy a life of luxury using his influence.

With Gu Qingheng’s photographic memory, not taking the imperial examinations would be a waste!

“Hehe, I haven’t even thought about taking the imperial examinations yet!”

“After the house is built, I will send you to school. I can’t let you keep playing around foolishly. Qingheng, you are not only Mengyao’s brother, but you will also be my brother in the future. If you are lazy and don’t study, I will beat you.”

“Brother-in-law, I will definitely study hard then. I’ll go deliver the candy to the village chief right now.”

Gu Qingheng smiled shyly and then ran off with the candy, afraid that if he was any slower, his brother-in-law would see the tears in his eyes, which would make him very embarrassed.

Since his parents died, and his sister had to work on the mountain all day to earn money, leaving him alone at home, he hadn’t felt this cared for in a long time.
