Chapter 146 The Price of More Money
"You're alright?" Scarface asked, looking at him.
"I didn't ask you to hit me." This statement sounded strangely aggrieved.
It's just that coming from a man, and a scoundrel at that, feels a bit disgusting.
"You gave in, don't deny it, everyone heard it, it was you who ordered the fight."
Gu Changgen wanted to cry. He had never said those words. How could this person talk such nonsense?
He insisted he hadn't, but Scarface stared at him and said, "Didn't you just ask them to compensate you for your losses?"
“You said you wanted 20 taels of silver, but I told you 20 taels was too little, it should be 60 taels, and you agreed to that?”
Yes, he agreed, but what does that have to do with hitting him?
Immediately afterwards, he heard Scarface's devilish language.
"You agreed to 60 taels of silver, so you agreed. Do you expect me to break your legs?"
"If you don't want 60 taels of silver and only want 20 taels, then I wouldn't have needed to break your legs!"
Hitting someone is tiring too; he has to use force, you know?
If this person hadn't been so greedy, he wouldn't have bothered to do it!
Gu Changgen finally understood. It wasn't impossible for him to get 60 taels of silver, but the price would be his leg.
If he saved his leg by not asking for 60 taels of silver, what would he have lost if he had asked for 20 taels of silver?
Gu Changgen was terrified. Ignoring how much his leg hurt, he got up from the ground, pushed through the crowd, and ran out.
While running, she kept shouting, "No more, no more, I don't want it anymore, I was wrong, I was wrong, I was wrong..."
The troublemakers left, and Scarface should go back too. He waved his hand with the kitchen knife and turned to go back to the thatched house over there.
He was sleeping, but he was woken up by someone. When he came over, he found that the person who woke him up was an acquaintance. How could he not entertain him?
The problem is that this acquaintance is a bit timid and can't handle being scared. I just gave him a little massage, and he ran away in fright. It's not fun at all.
Everyone at the Gu family's side is busy, but the Gu family's side is a bit quiet ever since Li Guixiang was beaten.
She was always very well-behaved at the Gu family's house, spending her days cleaning the rooms or cooking meals, keeping the house in perfect order.
And she stopped swearing. Seeing that the second wife's family was all at home, Li Guixiang didn't care at all.
Zhao Laidi sat on the edge of the bed and poked Gu Lao Er, who was lying on the bed, with her finger: "Your eldest brother is really something. He suppressed his sister-in-law in one go. Does this mean we can continue to live like this from now on?"
They're living such a good life now!
They have food to eat every day, don't have to do any work, don't have to listen to people's complaints, and don't have to help with cooking.
Anyway, life is much more comfortable now than before.
Upon hearing his wife's words, Gu Yinniu rolled over in bed: "Big brother pinned down sister-in-law? I think you're just daydreaming and indulging in wishful thinking."
Li Guixiang will definitely jump up soon. If her older brother can stay ruthless, he might be able to keep Li Guixiang in check.
But if her older brother reverts to his old self after a while, Li Guixiang would be furious!
Since they were brothers from the same womb, Gu Yinniu knew Gu Jinniu well and then explained the reasons one by one.
"Then what do we do? What if things go back to the way they were before? Wouldn't your sister-in-law skin us alive?"
"Are you scared? Then you'd better work hard and you'll get something to eat after you finish."
After Gu Yinniu finished speaking, he turned over and closed his eyes.
What happens next can wait. He needs to get a good night's sleep now, otherwise even if the King of Heaven himself came, it wouldn't help.
Gu Jiao'er also heard the news outside that the Gu family was going to build a house, and she thought of what that person had said.
If what that person said is true, then by relying on him, can I also go and cause trouble for that bitch Lin Cai?
Could he rely on him to run rampant throughout the entire Gu Family Village?
Could it be that by relying on him, one can be completely unafraid of the three Lin brothers and then trample their sister into the mud?
Every single thought in Gu Jiao'er's mind was extremely malicious, and every single one of them was aimed at Lin Cai.
She thought of another face, but the owner of that face always had a cold expression. He was cold to everyone, but she had seen him be gentle with people before.
Gu Jiao'er sometimes really didn't understand. Lin Cai was a vicious shrew before she got married, and a vicious widow after she got married. How could he have fallen for her?
The workers have been selected; only 10 were kept out of the twenty-odd people. Lin Cai recorded all their names and addresses on a piece of paper.
Then they were told about the wages, the daily meal allowance, and the work they would be required to do.
After hearing this, the 10 people all said they had no objections. The daily wage of 15 coins was worth it even if they didn't eat lunch.
Everything was gathered, everyone was present, and the bricks were brought back. Lin Cai gave the contractor the blueprints she had drawn.
The contractor was very excited to see the blueprint again. He had only seen one copy before, but after looking at it for a while, he realized that the blueprint was incomplete.
Now that he has seen all the blueprints, his eyes are glued to them. If Lin Cai hadn't explained the structure to him, he wouldn't have been able to look away.
"Master Li, these are the only ones I want to keep for now. Just leave them for me later. As for the rest, just follow the blueprints."
"Alright, alright, Miss Lin, don't worry. I guarantee I'll do it exactly as shown in the blueprints, and there won't be any mistakes or errors."
The blueprints drawn by Lin Cai were based on a modern farmhouse, with main rooms, guest rooms, and side rooms.
There were many people in the Gu family, and the siblings were unwilling to separate the household, so when she was drawing the plans, she reserved a room for each of them.
Besides them, Scarface and the old lady each had a room, and there were three other guest rooms remaining.
In addition, there is a kitchen, a latrine, and a storage room in the corner.
If it were any other land, the foundation for more than 10 houses would definitely not be big enough, and even the current foundation area of the Gu family's land is not enough.
Before building the house, Lin Cai had already bought the two plots of land on either side of the village chief and then expanded the foundation.
The expanded foundation is enough to build a dozen or so rooms, and there will also be a large courtyard in front of it.
Lin Cai plans to dig a well in a corner of the yard so that she won't have to go outside to get water.
After making arrangements with Master Li, Lin Cai took Huani to the Lin family home and entrusted the supervision of the project to Gu Dachui.
