Chapter 86: The Gu Family Is Finished
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
The person who came out was Jin Yuexiang, Liangzi’s mother.
Yesterday morning, they had lost five taels of silver. Hu Liang was even beaten up until he was covered in injuries. Just thinking about it made him feel aggrieved and indignant.
This was especially true for Jin Yuexiang. She had always doted on her youngest son the most like a treasure.
Even if he usually stole things, she would spit back when the villagers came to ask for an explanation. Not only would others not receive compensation, but they would also be scolded badly by her.
Because of this, Jin Yuexiang became even more complacent. The more she fought, the more invincible she became.
However, she did not expect to suffer a huge setback at the hands of a young lady yesterday. She could not beat her verbally or physically, and she even lost so much silver.
The more she thought about it, the more her heart burned, and the more she couldn’t fall asleep.
But she did not dare to look for Gu Yundong. After pondering for a while, she thought of Madam Yang.
Madam Yang was a fool. Even if she was bullied, she might not complain. She could even get Madam Yang to compensate her with the five taels of silver. Yes, her thoughts were exactly the same as Madam Fang’s back then.
Hence, she came over early in the morning. She hid behind the haystack and did not dare to move, waiting for Madam Yang to come out alone.
Unexpectedly, Madam Yang did not appear. Instead, she waited for Feng Daneng to come over and heard such explosive and exciting news.
The Peng family, hahaha, that was the Peng family.
Gu Yundong had offended the Peng family. She had not only kept her tail between her legs, but had rushed to find trouble. She was definitely dead now.
Jin Yuexiang was so excited that her face turned red. She couldn’t care less about Madam Yang anymore. As she walked back, she told everyone that the Gu family was going to suffer.
“You don’t know, but Gu Yundong is really bold. She actually said that the Peng family stole her things and is now going to settle scores with the Peng family.” “Do you think she’s crazy? What kind of family is the Peng family? They’re so big and powerful. Do they care about her things? Just you wait. The Gu family is finished.”
“So what if she knows the county magistrate? 1 don’t think the county magistrate knows her well.”
Otherwise, why would the Gu family settle in Yongfu Village? If the county magistrate really had a good relationship with her family, he should have sent her family to the city or the rich Dagui Village around the county.
Jin Yuexiang was not experienced enough to know that settling down was not so easy. Now that the new emperor was in power, he valued refugees very much. Not to mention the county magistrate, even if the magistrate’s relatives wanted to settle down, they had to follow the rules at this juncture.
However, Jin Yuexiang’s words still caused a commotion in the village.
Everyone gathered together and whispered to each other. They found it unbelievable that Gu Yundong would dare to go to the Peng family to cause trouble.
“The Gu family is probably really done for this time.”
“That house won’t be built either. What a pity. 1 heard that it’s built beautifully.
I still want to take a look after the beam is up.”
There were also people who made sarcastic remarks.
“Serves her right. Look at how arrogant she was yesterday. She’s so shrewish and vicious at such a young age. She’s already difficult to marry. Now that she’s offended the Peng family, who would dare to interact with them?”
When Jin Yuexiang heard this, she was very pleased. She ran around the entire village before returning home and telling her son the news in high spirits.
Hu Liang’s face was still bruised and swollen. When he heard this, his eyes lit up. He was originally lying on the bed listlessly, but he instantly jumped up, put on his clothes, and rushed out the door.
Jin Yuexiang hurriedly called out to him, “Where are you going?”
“Hahahahaha, I’m going to take revenge..”
