Chapter 87: Shao Qingyuan Rushes to the County City

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Hu Liang went to look for his scoundrel friends, but he did not go to Zhuangzi’s house in the same village. Instead, he went to Gousheng’s house in the neighboring village.

Gousheng was also recuperating at home. Although his face was not swollen, he had been beaten up by Shao Qingyuan a few times the day before. It was very painful.

When Hu Liang came over, he was sitting in the courtyard, looking at the sky in confusion.

“Gousheng, follow me. 1 didn’t expect our chance to take revenge to come so quickly.”

“What revenge?”

“That wretched girl from the Gu family has offended the Peng family. The Peng family doesn’t allow her to build a house. They said that they want to destroy it. If we go and destroy it now, we can even go to the Peng family to take credit and get some money.”

He repeated what Jin Yuexiang had heard. Gousheng was stunned for a moment before Hu Liang pulled him up from the stool.

“Hurry up, let’s call Big Qian. The three of us will go together.”

“Big Qian is not at home. He went to find work,” Gousheng said. He and his grandmother were the only ones in Big Qian’s family. They relied on each other. His grandmother was old, so he could only think of a way to pay Gu Yundong the five taels of silver.

Hu Liang frowned. “Then let’s go together.”

Gousheng was a little confused. “Why don’t you look for Zhuangzi?”

“Bah, don’t mention that bastard to me. It’s fine if he didn’t help me yesterday, but he actually advised me not to find trouble with that brat. What’s the difference between him and his cowardly parents? 1 won’t bring him around in the future. Let’s go, let’s hurry.”

Just as Hu Liang was about to pull him away, Gousheng’s father, Zhao Zhu, returned.

He looked very burly, and Hu Liang was actually a little afraid of him.

Zhao Zhu looked at Gousheng. “Where are you going now? You’re recuperating at home.”

Hu Liang pursed his lips. He was disdainful in his heart. What’s the point of putting on airs as a father? Gousheng won’t listen to you.

However, just as he thought this, Gousheng lowered his head and agreed. “Got it, Father. I’m not going out.”

Hu Liang’s eyes widened in disbelief. Gousheng was also possessed?

Gousheng’s hatred with his father was as deep as the sea. Back then, Gousheng’s mother was gone, and his father had married a stepmother. It was easy for a stepmother to cripple a child who was only a few years old.

However, Zhao Zhu was not good with words. He adhered to the principle of filial piety. It was fine if the two of them did not communicate. The stepmother even sowed discord, making Gousheng think that her biological mother had been killed by his father.

By the time Zhao Zhu found out about this, the relationship between father and son could no longer be eased. Therefore, even if that stepmother was divorced, Gousheng still treated his father as an enemy and did not return home often.

Today, when his father ordered him with a straight face, he actually did not go against his father.

Not only that, but he also advised Hu Liang, “These are just rumors. It’s fine if you just listen to them. That little girl from the Gu family is amazing. You shouldn’t get involved.”

Hu Liang flung his hand away angrily. “You’re also a coward. Alright, if you don’t want to go, 1’11 go.”

He shook his head and left. He returned to the village and went to Gu Yundong’s homestead.

However, when he saw that there were so many laborers working at the homestead, he immediately cowered.

After walking around the homestead, Hu Liang did not find a chance to attack.

Suddenly, he had a flash of inspiration. Yes, he could look for Young Master Peng. He happened to know a servant of the Peng family. When the time came, he would tell Young Master Peng that not only did Gu Yundong not stop building the house, but she also threatened to teach the Peng family a lesson. She even said that she had the county magistrate as her backer.

He was the best at adding fuel to the fire. He guaranteed that Young Master Peng would kill Gu Yundong in a fit of anger.

He couldn’t do it, but he could use someone else to do it. Perhaps Young Master Peng would reward him with a few taels of silver when he was happy. It was killing two birds with one stone.

Thinking of this, Hu Liang became excited. He turned around and walked towards the village entrance.

However, just as he reached the entrance of the village, they suddenly saw a person in front of them rushing towards the county.

Wasn’t that… a wolf cub?
