Chapter 9 Gu Family Village Tyrant

  A home is newly built, and there are countless things that need to be added. Even if Zhao Liya and Hu Ling streamlined and streamlined, they still bought a lot of miscellaneous things.

  Zhao Liya is still thinking about it, she hasn't bought the big water tank yet!

  It’s impossible to have a big water tank at home. But there is no way to load it. They hired an ox cart and it is already full. If there is a bucket, let’s fill it up first, and we will talk about it tomorrow.

   After the two made a quick battle, they arrived at the gate of the city. Uncle Ruan Gui and the others were already waiting.

  Seeing Zhao Liya and Hu Ling were very friendly, and they rushed up to greet each other with "My boss, my boss!"

  Everyone gossips a few words, then rushes to Yancun.

  There were too many things piled up on the bullock cart, Zhao Liya and Hu Ling walked like everyone else, and they happened to chat along the way, and they arrived before they knew it.

   It's normal to see my daughter and adopted son come back from a trip and buy a lot of things, but why did they bring back such a large group of people?

  Zhao Xiang and Deng Shi were taken aback!

  After hearing Zhao Liya's explanation, the two were relieved.

  Uncle Ruan Gui and the others are from Zaihu Village, out-and-out locals, about ten miles away from Yan Village. Since it was getting late, I discussed with the Zhao family how to build the new house without delay.

After walking around the place and asking about the needs of the Zhao family, Uncle Ruan Gui said: "I know what's in my mind, my boss, let's go back first, and we'll talk to my boss about how much materials we need when we come tomorrow morning. If there is manpower, the boss will be able to catch up." Urgent, let me bring forty people here, will the boss see it?"

  Zhao Liya looked at Zhao Xiang.

  Zhao Xiangci smiled and said: "Ya'er, you can decide these things."

  Uncle Ruan Gui also looked at Zhao Liya. They didn't think it was strange that Zhao Liya made up his mind. After all, there are many women who are in charge of the house here.

   In the past, when the imperial court did not recruit security and was still in the tribal form, there were quite a few female chiefs.

  Zhao Liya wished for as many people as possible, "Okay, you can figure it out, we only need the house to be built as soon as possible, and we can settle the wages every day."

   "Hey, okay, then I'll figure it out!" Uncle Ruan Gui's voice was a little bit crisper.

   It makes me happy to listen to something every day.

After talking about the matter, the Zhao family sent Uncle Ruan Gui and his party to leave. Zhao Liya said again: "By the way, if Uncle Ruan Gui is convenient, can you drive an ox cart over tomorrow? We want to go to the city to buy some things tomorrow. Also, four I'm afraid my mother and I will be too busy with meals for ten people. Why don't you ask two aunts and sister-in-laws to come over to help? The wages are 15 cents per person per day, and lunch is taken care of. If we have firewood, we will also pull a cart to help us. We also pay for it.”

  Uncle Ruan Gui nodded in agreement, and said with a smile: "We have a lot of firewood in our house, and there is also a lot in the mountains. I will pull a cart for you tomorrow, and it doesn't cost money."

  Zhao Liya smiled: "If you want it, you can't do it without money!"

  After seeing off Uncle Ruan Gui and the others, the Zhao family planned to cook dinner.

  Zhao Liya bought two stoves, one for cooking rice and one for stir-frying, which is enough for the time being.

  Vegetables I also bought some beans, green peppers, eggplants, loofahs, white radishes, and two live chickens today, which will be enough for two or three days.

  There are freshly-bought dishes for dinner, which can be heated instead of fried.

  Hu Ling is going to carry an empty bucket to fetch water.

  I asked Widow Qu yesterday. There are two wells in the village, and the nearest one is nearly a thousand meters away.

  It is mainly the residents of their village, who are too scattered and the area is too big.

  Zhao Liya pondered, when the new house is built, dig a well.

  There is abundant rainfall in this area, and there are many rivers, so it is easy to drill wells.

  Zhao Liya also bought some pastries today, and kept some for home to eat. Later, she and her mother brought two packs to send to Aunt Qu as a token of appreciation.

  Thinking that everything is going well today and a new house will be built tomorrow, everyone is in a good mood, and the yard of the simple and dilapidated house is full of chatter and laughter.

Everyone was going to do their own work, but four men and women in their twenties and thirties clamored to open the flimsy fence gate and entered the yard, followed by three boys under ten years old. Boys and girls.

  Seeing this, Hu Ling hurriedly put down the empty bucket and strode forward: "Who are you? What are you here for?"

  A woman laughed sharply: "Didn't you say that the one who made up the mind is a girl? Where is the person? Oh, Uncle Zhao, you didn't tell your family about such a big thing?"

   Zhao Xiang and Deng's expressions changed: Forget it!

  Zhao Xiang grabbed Zhao Liya: "Ya'er"

A few words and a few words made it clear what this group of people had been here today, and the young woman in that room also smiled and said: "Let us do the building of your family's house. We don't ask for too much wages. Just pay the same price. We are all from the same village, we should take care of each other, and we won’t take advantage of you! That’s the deal, we’ll come over tomorrow and take care of the old The house was taken away!"

  As soon as her father mentioned the brothers of the Gu family, Zhao Liya immediately became vigilant.

  She had inquired about the situation in the village with Widow Qu before, and it was hard for Widow Qu to say some things too straightforwardly, but she got what she should have meant.

  The three brothers of the Gu family are the village tyrants of Yan Village.

  What are the three punks who made trouble that day? The Gu family ate meat, so they grabbed a mouthful of the leftover soup and drank it.

  Didn’t they treat everyone in the village as “their own people”? Whose family’s vegetable garden hadn’t been pulled by them, and whose chickens and ducks hadn’t been stolen by them? There are also many other things about stealing and taking advantage of others, and the big guys dare not speak out.

The only advantage of their existence is that, except for their Gu family and those gangsters, and the three or four families who hardly interact with others on weekdays, but even the Gu family dare not mess with them, the other families are very united. , are willing to help each other.

   Otherwise, no matter how capable Widow Qu is, the walls of her house are too high, and she can't live alone with a beautiful daughter.

Glancing at the age of the woman who spoke, Zhao Liya smiled: "Are you Mrs. Gu? We have hired people in the city today, and forty people will come to work early tomorrow morning, so thank you for your kindness." .”

   Sounds nice, market price? Does anyone know if the price will increase halfway? Who knows if it will delay the construction period?

  Can you believe the words of the village bully?

   That must not be possible!

  As soon as Zhao Liya's voice fell, the Gu family members were all vicious.

"What do you mean!"

   "What? How dare you not give us face?"

   "It's a shameless thing, try saying it again!"

  Hu Ling shouted angrily: "Keep your mouth clean!"

  Zhao Xiang also said angrily: "Everything has a first come first, first come first, we have already hired someone, how can we go back on our word? One cannot be unreasonable."

Zhao Liya stared coldly at her viciously targeting her, presumably to scare her so that she could control her Gu family, she didn't move her eyelids, and said coldly: "My father is right, since this matter has been decided, we won't Change, there is no need to say more."
