Chapter 244 A Business Arrives
She's been asking around the village a lot lately, and it's cost her quite a bit of money.
To her surprise, Aunt Gu wouldn't even let her into her house, and that bitch Yang Tao also refused to let her in.
Hmph! Just because they don't say anything doesn't mean others won't. If adults can't do it, there are still children.
She refused to believe it, and sure enough, after a few days, she actually found out some things.
Sun's braised meat, Lin's sesame paste, Gu's vegetables grown in winter—no matter which one, as long as she could get her hands on one, why would she be afraid of that idiot Ye Qiu divorcing her?
That old hag only disliked her because she didn't have a dowry, right? That slut did have one, but what could she do? She gave birth to a bastard child, and he'll be on a sickbed for the rest of his life.
Ye Zhigang stared at the Gu residence, his eyes already revealing a determined glint: "Great, girl, it's settled then."
Haha, once he sleeps with Gu Chenglin's wife, this house will be his.
Sell? Sell to whom?
Do you really think he's an idiot?
Gu Meixiang was blinded by jealousy and hatred and did not see the sinister look in Ye Zhigang's eyes. She pulled him and said, "Come on, let's go in through the back door. I found out that Gu Chenglin's back door is not locked."
Ye Zhigang looked at the hand holding his arm with extreme disgust. This woman was trying to scheme against him.
Ha! We'll talk about it after he gets this house, hehe...
"She truly is worthy of being my sister, Ye Zhigang's sister."
I didn't expect her to find out so much. It seems that what his mother said is true: like begets like.
If he didn't have so much gambling debt, he would listen to this bastard.
When the two sneaked in through the back door, they were spotted by Long Er and Long Jiu, who were talking in the greenhouse.
The two exchanged a glance and smiled at each other; it was time to make a deal.
In broad daylight, these two people have the audacity to break into someone else's house. What are they planning to do?
Long Er and Long Jiu quietly left the greenhouse, concealing themselves, and followed the two behind.
Ye Zhigang asked in a low voice, "This house is nice, it's a pity to sell it. Why don't we let my aunt move in and let her give me the house in the village?"
Gu Meixiang glanced around, her jealousy and hatred intensifying. She gritted her teeth and said, "No, we have to finish this before that bastard Gu Chenglin comes back."
Then you can push all the blame onto that jinx Fang Jin. Once you're done playing with her, you can give that jinx a dose of mute medicine. What can she say then?
Even if Gu Chenglin comes back, he'll just settle accounts with her; who would suspect it was us?
Ye Zhigang nodded. This woman was ruthless enough, truly surpassing her mother. If her mother had been as ruthless as her, she wouldn't have been able to marry into this poor, remote place.
Thinking this, he waved a packet of powder in front of Gu Meixiang and said, "Don't worry, sis, I have this. As long as that bitch Fang Jin inhales a little bit of this, I guarantee she'll be more wanton than the most beautiful courtesan in the brothel."
He spent a lot of money to buy this, and he was saving it for a big heist. He originally wanted to take a fancy to Miss Cao from Anyang Prefecture, but the risk was too great, so he never made a move.
Unexpectedly, just when he was at his wit's end, Gu Meixiang came to him...
"That's good. After you've succeeded, sell Gu Chenglin's two children far away."
Then drive everyone living in this house out, and don't let them take a single needle or thread with them.
Lin Jiang's daughter said that Gu Chenglin's family has a lot of good things, and his daughter also has a lot of jewelry.
That bastard child deserves to wear it too. It all belongs to her daughter, and those fabrics too. Everything here is hers, hers…
"Don't worry, I'll listen to you." I'll listen to you now, but after it's all done, you? Heh, you'll have to listen to me.
Long Er and Long Jiu saw the ugly expressions on the two men's faces and, upon hearing this, could no longer tolerate it. They each delivered a chop to the neck, knocking the two men unconscious.
Looking at the two men lying on the ground, Long Jiu spat out a mouthful of saliva and said angrily, "Want to play dirty tricks? I'll show you how."
"Now that Second Brother is leaving, Ninth Brother happens to know a good place. Let them enjoy themselves first, and we'll let the people of Lingwu Village see what's going on."
Going to someone's house to plot against them, that's unbelievable! Do they really think they're dead?!
Long Er said in a sinister tone, "What are we waiting for? Let's go."
Anyone who dares to scheme against others under their noses, no matter what kind of demon you are, will have to suffer the consequences.
And so, Long Er and Long Jiu, without making a sound, each carried one of them to an empty house in the south of Lingwu Village.
The house collapsed under the weight of a heavy snowfall a few days ago, and now only half of the house is still leaning against the ground.
Long Er threw the person on the ground, took out a tattered quilt from his Qiankun bag, and threw it onto the earthen bed in the room.
He obtained this quilt from a grandfather and grandson at a dilapidated temple he passed by on his way back from the capital.
He hadn't had time to throw it away yet, so it came in handy. No one would pick up this tattered blanket if he threw it away, which made it seem more realistic and convincing.
The house that Long Jiu found was surrounded by other residents, and he believed that someone would come out in no time.
The reason he remembered this family was because Sun Xing had mentioned it briefly, saying that the family was all men and had one problem: they were lazy.
Otherwise, his house wouldn't have collapsed.
The two didn't speak, but they worked together seamlessly on their tasks. Once they finished, they hid in the shadows, waiting to watch the drama unfold.
"How big is your area?" Long Jiu pointed to the Qiankun bag at Long Er's waist.
Long Er held up two fingers: "That's as big as two rooms, how about yours?"
Long Jiu held up three fingers: "One more than you. When Eleven and I went to Dongzhou, Gu Chenglin said that Sister Jin specially picked it out for us."
Long Er sighed, "Even the master doesn't have it."
Long Jiu punched him lightly: "Currently, only the three of us have it, so don't show off or reveal it. Sister Jin will give it to the master."
Long Er looked up at the sky and sighed, "I hope so. When will the Master deal with the Gu family?"
What's the point of keeping a family like that around? They keep showing up to disgust people every now and then.
Long Jiu looked down and listened to the sounds coming from the dilapidated house: "Let's wait. Gu Chenglin hasn't returned from Longhu Pass yet. I think we can only deal with them after they go to the capital."
Gu Chenglin has not yet recognized the Duke of Rongguo, and that family is currently unaware of Gu Chenglin's existence.
There needs to be a reason to punish this family.
"That will be at least six months from now."
"It will be ready when Sister Jin's wheat is ripe."
"I hope so. This family is just so annoying, one member after another."
"There's some movement."
The two heard rustling sounds coming from the dilapidated house.
Then came Gu Meixiang's charming voice: "It's so hot."
The man said anxiously, "Wait here, let me cool you down."
"Hurry up..."
"You slut, what's the rush?"
"Brother Zhigang..."
"Meixiang, I never knew you were so well-endowed."
"Ugh, hurry up..."
"Brother is here."
What followed was a barrage of offensive language, and then they began to get down to fighting.
Long Er and Long Jiu exchanged a glance. When the time was up, each of them took a pebble and threw it at the window frames of the two houses on either side, making a loud banging sound.
The courtyard wall was as tall as a person. As soon as the person in the house on the left came out, before she could even ask who had disturbed her sweet dream, she heard lewd noises coming from the dilapidated house next door.
"Wow!" The person who was just drowsy suddenly seemed to have been injected with stimulants.
This person is Zhao Dahua, the gossipy wife of Gu Datong from the Gu family. She's the one who always sends messages to Granny Gu and stirs things up.
One of the "loudspeakers" under the big locust tree in Lingwu Village.
