262 Gu Qingming’s Dealing

Shi Zuoliang’s words were like a huge rock thrown into the air, causing a wave of ripples.

The villagers discussed it among themselves.

Some people said that the Shi Family would not do this.

Some people said that the loss was small, but the gain was big. They saved more than 100,000 dollars at once. Why wouldn’t they do that?

Everything else was fine, but when it came to money, who wouldn’t want to gather money from their own family?

“Shi Bangjian, is it really as Shi Zuoliang said? Are you working with the Shi family to deceive everyone?” a villager asked suspiciously.

“Bullsh*t!” Shi Bangjian said angrily. “We’re all from the same village. We see each other every now and then. Who would do such unconscionable things? Let me tell you, if I, Shi Bangjian, take an extra cent, I’ll be a turtle and a bastard! I would father a son without an asshole!”

“Pfft!” A villager immediately said, “You can even talk about fathering a son without an asshole. Shi Bangjian, are you still thinking of giving birth to a son at your age?!”

Unexpectedly, as soon as he said this, Shi Xiaohai, who was beside him, said very seriously, “If my family really did such a thing and asked for an extra cent, the son we gave birth to would not have an asshole! That should be enough, right?”

When people insulted others in the countryside, it was commonly directed at people who had done too many heinous deeds. They would curse their future sons to have no assholes and descendants.

Therefore, when Shi Xiaohai said this, the villagers were still shocked.

To be able to say such harsh words, it seemed that Shi Bangjian’s family really did not do such a thing.

In the courtyard, the villagers’ discussions could not help but quieten down.

At this moment, Gu Qingming had a big belly. Her sharp eyes shot at Shi Zuoliang for a moment before sweeping across the villagers. Then, she said calmly, “We rent land and all the procedures are legal and reasonable. We won’t do anything unfair to everyone because of personal grudges. As for the high rent for Shi Bangjian’s family, it’s simply nonsense.”

“Can we really keep it under wraps? If I really do this, sooner or later, it will be leaked. Is this fair to everyone? Besides, I, Gu Qingming, have money. Just as everyone in the village has guessed, my family is rich. Do I need to be so harsh on everyone’s rent?”

“My family donated three million dollars to build the road for the village, town, and county. Why would we care about this little rent?”

“Oh, could it be that just to save this bit of rent, I’m going to let my maternal family’s prestige in the village be greatly reduced without any integrity? Do you think my maternal grandfather and uncles are such people?”

“We’re all from the same village. Everyone knows each other very well. Do I need to introduce my grandfather and uncles to everyone?”

After hearing Gu Qingming’s words, everyone fell into deep thought.

When they heard Gu Qingming say that she had donated three million dollars, their eyes revealed an incredulous expression.

In the past, everyone had guessed that the Gu family had donated hundreds of thousands or even millions of dollars. It was only now that they confirmed that they had donated three million.

Shi Tietou’s son-in-law’s family was really rich.

They donated two to three million just to build a road.

“Why did my family donate money to build the road? Especially the cement road from the village to town, wasn’t it for the convenience of the entire village? Before the road was built, I heard from my father that there was a pregnant woman in the village who suddenly suffered a hemorrhage. However, when she was sent to the hospital because the road was bumpy, the pregnant woman was almost dying by the time the ambulance arrived. However, when she was transported to the hospital for help, because of the delay, the pregnant woman…”

The villagers knew why Gu Qingming did not continue with this case.

She continued, “Also, a child suddenly had a high fever at night and his entire body twitched. However, because of the road, his treatment was delayed. When my father heard about this, he decided to build a road for the village. The cement road from the village to the town is more than 20 miles. It’s not much money, but it cost 300,000 to 400,000 dollars, but it’s at least a token of my father’s sincerity. I believe everyone present knows why my father did this!”

Gu Jianguo said this because he had married a woman from this village.

His wife’s family was also his family.

The villagers present immediately fell silent!

Hearing Gu Qingming’s words, everyone felt that they were ungrateful.

They built roads for the village for free so that everyone could enter and leave easily.

Once the road was repaired, if they encountered any sudden accidents, they could be treated as soon as possible.

Moreover, after this road was repaired, everyone’s standard of living improved significantly.

Speaking of which, in order to become rich, one had to build a road first! After the road was repaired, the traffic was smooth and transportation was convenient. It was easier to sell the things planted in the village. For example, many people planted watermelons every year. Many villagers planted navel oranges. Many vendors and traders entered and left every year.

Before the road was built, no one asked about the rotten watermelon fields and the oranges in the mountains.

Thinking of this, many villagers looked ashamed.

Gu Qingming did not want to mention these things at first. If she did, it would seem like her father had donated money to build the road so that the villagers would remember his kindness and appear noble.

However, now that these villagers were doubting the characters of her grandfather and uncle, she was very angry.

She suddenly felt that these villagers did not know what was good for them. They made wild guesses because of some groundless accusations and selfishly wanted to obtain more benefits for themselves.

Of course, she also knew that most of the villagers were instigated by someone. She felt that it was understandable.

However, in other words, if these villagers did not have such thoughts, would they be instigated by others?

Gu Qingming was wearing a white down jacket. Her loose clothes could no longer cover her big tummy and her long black hair were already tied into a ponytail.

Her exquisite and beautiful facial features, unparalleled beauty, and elegant and cold aura made her look noble and awe-inspiring.

The villagers looked at her evasively.

Gu Qingming glanced at the villagers present again and said coldly, “If everyone still thinks that we have the intention to collaborate to deceive everyone, how about this? I won’t rent your land anymore. I can rent it from another village. Everyone will be fine. How about that? But let me make things clear first. I will definitely hire someone to work in the future. But I won’t hire anyone from our village again.”

When the villagers heard this, their expressions changed.

Not renting land or hiring people to work was completely excluding the entire village.

If there were any more benefits in the future, they would not be able to touch it at all.

Just as some villagers were about to say something, Gu Qingming looked at Shi Zuoliang.

She said, “This contract is written in black and white. It has a public seal and signature. It has legal effects. It can’t be faked easily. Also, making baseless guesses and accusing people is slander. We might go to court to sue.”

“Huh?”

Many people were dumbfounded.
