Chapter 159 I'll Kill You Right Now
But Lin Cai didn't understand any of this. Her mother had also said that she would host a banquet for the whole village when she moved, so she thought about it.
When the village chief came, he told him that the Gu family would be holding a housewarming banquet two days later, and that everyone in Gujia Village would be invited to the feast.
Hearing this, the village chief was naturally pleased, but he hadn't come here for this reason.
"Lin girl, I came here today because of the tofu."
"Tofu? Is there something wrong with the tofu?"
"No, no, the tofu is fine, the problem is with the people."
After hesitating for a moment, the village chief told Lin Cai the whole story.
It turned out that it was about selling tofu. Before they started selling tofu, Lin Cai had told them to follow her rules.
Those who agree can come, those who disagree can forget it. Even though some people disagreed, some people still came to get the tofu.
Because you can't buy tofu on credit, they can exchange it for soybeans. Many people bring soybeans from their homes to exchange for tofu.
But the family the village chief mentioned had neither copper coins nor beans, yet they wanted to sell tofu.
So they asked the village chief to come and talk to Lin Cai to see if they could make an exception and let them buy the tofu on credit and sell it, and then pay the bill when they got the copper coins.
Upon hearing this, Lin Cai immediately refused the request: "No, I cannot agree."
“It’s not just one or two families taking tofu; I can’t break the rules I set for just one person.”
“I know, Lin girl, but they really…”
The village chief wanted to say that they were really pitiful and in great need of help, and asked if it was possible to make an exception.
But Lin Cai interrupted him directly: "Village chief, how many pitiful families are there in Gu Family Village, and even in the whole world?"
"How many poor villagers have to beg because they have no money?"
"Those people are just as pitiful, they also have no money for food, should I go and help them all?"
"Even if I had the will, I didn't have the ability. Both I and my parents need to live; we need to survive..."
Upon hearing this, the village chief fell silent. Lin Cai was right; others needed to survive, and so did they.
Are you suggesting that they should starve themselves to death so that others can survive?
Not to mention Lin Cai wasn't that great, even he wasn't, and he didn't have the right to make one person die for another.
The village chief left, and Gu Zhan walked in from outside, carrying two wild rabbits in his hands.
Lin Cai's brow twitched when she saw him come in: "How much did you just hear?"
"What do you think?"
Don't you think I'm cold-blooded?
Gu Zhan picked up the rabbit in his hand, stood there without saying a word, and looked down at the rabbit in his hand.
"If I killed them right in front of you, would you think I was heartless?"
Hearing this analogy, Lin Cai was slightly taken aback. She looked at the rabbit that was still struggling in Gu Zhan's hand.
This is a world where the strong prey on the weak. What's so cold-blooded about people eating rabbits? If eating rabbits means being cold-blooded, then those who eat all kinds of animals, wouldn't they have become less than human?
That was the end of it. Lin Cai didn't want to remember this day every time she saw a rabbit in the future.
The Gu family's new house has been built, and everyone in Gu Family Village is envious because the Gu family's new house is something they have never seen before.
Even in the town, or even in the county seat, they had never seen such a beautiful house.
The original drawings by Lin Cai were not based on the houses here; her drawings had a bit of a courtyard house style.
The main house is spacious, with side rooms on both sides, and a large courtyard outside, which is further surrounded by a fence.
The fence was about two meters high, so that no one could see out from inside and vice versa. She didn't want to be watched all the time, so she had to use this method to block their view.
Zhao Laidi had seen the Gu family's new house, and it was so beautiful that she wanted to move in immediately and never leave.
Upon returning home and seeing the thatched hut, Zhao Laidi couldn't help but hit the person on the bed.
"Gu Yinniu, were you really a pig in your past life?"
"All you do is eat and sleep all day. What else can you do besides eat and sleep?"
"Look at your dead brother, he's already dead, leaving behind a young widow and four kids. He's living in a new house now, and look at you..."
"You're tall and strong, but you're as lazy as a pig. If you keep going like this, when will our family ever..."
While Zhao Laidi was grumbling, she started hitting him. Gu Yinniu couldn't take it anymore and sat up.
"Enough, you damn woman, doesn't it hurt when I hit you?"
"That young widow lives in a new house; that's her ability. If you had that ability, you could live in a new house too!"
Zhao Laidi was furious when she heard just that one sentence.
"Gu Yinniu, what do you mean by that? Do you think I'm useless?"
"Do you think I'm not as good as that young widow in your third brother's family?"
"Yes, you're right. I am indeed not as good as that young widow. But why don't you take a look at your third brother's young widow? So what if she lost her man? She has three older brothers."
"If you die and can bring me three such good brothers in return, I'll kill you right now."
As Zhao Laidi said this, she made a choking gesture with her hand, as if she could kill him right now if it were really as she said.
Gu Yinniu's face darkened when he heard this, but he didn't hit women. He simply lay down on the bed, pulled the blanket up, covered his head, and fell asleep.
Zhao Laidi, frustrated and disappointed, pounded the quilt a few times, then stormed out of the door.
As soon as she stepped into the courtyard, Zhao Laidi suddenly stopped. She pricked up her ears and listened carefully.
Realizing she hadn't misheard, Zhao Laidi looked over there, shuddered instantly, and then quickly ran out.
In broad daylight... this couple really doesn't discriminate between meat and vegetables.
Li Guixiang whimpered twice, but she couldn't whimper anymore. Her throat felt like a broken bellows, and it hurt whenever she tried to open her mouth.
But the man felt it wasn't enough. He grabbed Li Guixiang's hair and made her tilt her head back.
"Where's the sound? Why is there no sound? Are you doing this on purpose? Are you deliberately preventing me from hearing anything?"
Forced to tilt her head back, Li Guixiang shook her head desperately upon hearing this: "No...no...no..."
However, he spoke haltingly and incompletely, and the man frowned deeply upon hearing his fragmented words, clearly dissatisfied.
That's not what he wanted to hear, and it certainly wasn't the voice of a broken bellows.
