Chapter Thirteen Boys' Love
Gu Qing admired Feng Aweng more and more.
A few words could calm the restless crowd, which shows that Feng Aweng's prestige in the village is not small. What's even more rare is that he understands the truth and understands people's hearts.
Seeing that everyone's emotions had been suppressed, Feng Aweng turned to look at Gu Qing and said with a wry smile: "You have also seen that the neighbors have been living here for generations. Although they are hopeless, they are your elders after all. The Ding brothers dominate Shiqiao Village.
For many years, they have bullied the weak, and the whole village dared not speak out, just because the village was full of old, weak, women and children. They could only endure the bullying. No one dared to resist, including the old man. If the old man was twenty years younger... Haha,
That’s all.”
"Today you cured the Ding brothers, which is certainly very satisfying, but I still want to ask one more question, son of the Gu family, do you want to be the second Ding brother?"
Gu Qing shook his head: "Just don't mess with me. I won't actively provoke others, let alone bully weak women and children."
Feng Aweng smiled: "Very good. With your words, I and the whole village are relieved. I hope that from now on, the word 'justice' will be seen in Shiqiao Village and we will live up to our fellow villagers."
Gu Qing smiled faintly. He was not interested in bullying others, especially women, children, the elderly and the weak. But he was also not interested in maintaining justice in the village. For him, except for Song Gensheng, everyone in Shiqiao Village was a stranger. He was not great enough to be treated by strangers.
People maintain justice.
If you live a shaky life yourself, what qualifications do you have to uphold justice for strangers?
Feng Aweng seemed to notice Gu Qing's carelessness, so he said: "If the Gu family has any difficulties, you can tell me. The meaning of fellow villagers is to help each other."
Gu Qing thought for a while and said: "Yes, I would like to ask Feng Aweng to be a witness. The Ding brothers asked people from other villages to burn my house. After I explained it to them, they cried and regretted it and were willing to pay compensation.
I have repeatedly shied away from my loss, but the kindness is hard to refuse, so I have no choice but to accept it. The two of them are willing to compensate me for the Ding family house. The deed of the house and the pledge and sale documents are all there. Please ask Feng Aweng to witness it for us, so that we can have proof in the future.
I wonder what Aweng thinks?"
As soon as these words came out, the cheeks of Song Gensheng next to him and Feng Aweng in front of him twitched at the same time.
What he said was so beautiful. He said such nonsense as "repeated evasion" and "good hospitality is hard to refuse" without changing his face. He must be an extraordinary person. He was robbed with such righteous words, and he will become a great weapon in the future.
However, Feng Aweng agreed without saying anything.
The Ding brothers are the scourge of Shiqiao Village. No one could cure them before. Now Gu Qing’s fist is harder than the Ding brothers. Feng Aweng is eager to drive the Ding brothers away from Shiqiao Village. Without these two scourges, Shiqiao
Only in this way can the village have a truly peaceful life, and Gu Qing's invitation meets the wishes of Feng Aweng and the whole village.
"I have agreed to this matter. Since it is the Ding brothers who are willing to donate their house to Gu Qing, I will bear witness. If the Ding brothers regret it in the future, even if they go to Qingcheng County Government, I and the whole village will be willing to do it for Gu Qing."
It's a clear argument." Feng Aweng responded enthusiastically, but after he finished speaking, Feng Aweng's face turned red imperceptibly. At this age, his face was not as thick-skinned as that of a young man. He was really ashamed.
The crowd roared in response. Gu Qing looked at the joy and excitement on everyone's faces and couldn't help but shake his head secretly.
I don’t know how much evil the Ding brothers had done before, but after they collapsed suddenly, so many people clapped their hands and applauded, as if they had thrown all the children in the village into a well.
Gu Qing nodded indifferently.
In his eyes, the Ding brothers are nothing but country chickens and dogs. He just wants to end this matter quickly and has wasted too much time on these two rats.
"One more thing, I wonder if Feng Aweng is willing to help the boy..."
Feng Aweng's answer was very strict: "You say."
"I want to select a few people in the village to help me do something." Gu Qing thought for a while and added: "Anyone who can be paid, including food or copper coins."
Feng Aweng asked curiously: "What are you going to do?"
Gu Qing smiled and said: "After all, it won't harm the world."
Feng Aweng understood, but Gu Qing didn't want to say it. This child seemed to have completely changed overnight, with authority and means, completely different from the previous submissive child who dared not say a word even after being beaten.
Is this what the Taoist priests at the Taoist temple on Qingcheng Mountain call "enlightenment"?
Gu Qing turned to Song Gensheng and said, "Help me choose people, those over fifteen years old who are strong and hard-working, the more the better."
Song Gensheng nodded in agreement, hesitated for a moment, and whispered into Gu Qing's ear: "You just said you would be paid, but you have nothing. You have no food and no money. How can you pay everyone?"
Gu Qing glanced at him in confusion: "Are you crazy? Is there no money in the house of the Ding brothers? Is there no food?"
Song Gensheng was shocked: "Ah? But...it belongs to the Ding brothers."
"The Ding family's house belongs to me, and everything in the house naturally belongs to me. This is the most basic common sense. Theoretically, the Ding family brothers are also mine, but I don't like collecting waste." Gu Qing said.
He patted him on the shoulder and said: "You obviously have a very shallow understanding of the principle of 'a successful king loses a bandit'. You should read more."
Song Gensheng was dumbfounded and silent for a long time, then he said quietly: "I... I will try my best to handle it as well as possible."
At this time, Feng Aweng walked into the door of the Ding family and went straight to the woodshed to talk to the Ding brothers about the handover of the property. Gu Qing was too lazy to follow. The Ding brothers did not have the courage to object. Moreover, under the hatred of the whole village,
Even if they want to object, it will be futile.
Gu Qing yawned boredly and glanced at Song Gensheng inadvertently. He was shocked to find that Song Gensheng's cheeks were red, and his eyes would glance at a certain fixed point in the crowd from time to time.
Gu Qing hummed and followed his gaze.
The group of villagers in front of him were all young, old, women and children, including twilight old men and young girls. Song Gensheng's eyes happened to fall on a girl of fourteen or fifteen years old.
The girl was very thin and wore ill-fitting burlap clothes. Her appearance was not stunning and could only be described as "comely", but her eyes were very clear, simple and clean, like a lake whose bottom could be seen.
Gu Qing looked at Song Gensheng, then at the girl, looking back and forth between the two of them.
What's going on? This shy expression of "I love you so much that I can't express it in my heart" gives me goosebumps.
Moreover, she is only fourteen or fifteen years old.
Hooking one hand around Song Gensheng's neck, Gu Qing pulled him over and whispered in his ear: "Do you like that girl?"
Song Gensheng was shocked: "How do you know..."
Gu Qing laughed in his heart, it's not important, and he doesn't care. This kind of shy drama between a boy and a girl who is just starting to fall in love has been seen too much in TV series in his previous life. He has seen countless heart-wrenching plots. Song Gensheng's little love in front of him is nothing at all.
.
Gu Qing's thoughts quickly went in another direction. He was thinking about the business he was about to start. Clay and coal were the key, but he also needed experienced craftsmen who could make porcelain. These were all things that had to be done right now.
Gu Qing's thoughts were soon interrupted. Song Gensheng timidly tugged on his sleeve, blushing and whispered: "She... seems to have no intention of me."
Gu Qing didn't react for a moment: "Who?"
Song Gensheng lowered his head and said in a quiet voice, "She."
"Oh, then go pursue her. Summer is here, everything revives, and what about animals..."
"Pursue? This word is quite novel, but it is also appropriate." Song Gensheng looked a little irritated: "I gave her rice and some dried herbs, but she didn't express anything..."
Staring at Gu Qing with burning eyes, Song Gensheng begged: "You are different from before, and you know a lot. Can you teach me? How can I make her show affection to me and make her irresistible to me...
