As usual, when Gu Qingzi left Shen Yi's home today, she was blocked by Shen Yi at the door.
"What's wrong? Today is the last day, I've already paid you back what Gu Wei owes you. " She shrugged her shoulders helplessly. "I should be considered free to go now, right?"
"Who said you can leave?" Shen Yi stared at her closely as something flashed in his eyes.
Gu Qingzhi's heart trembled. He frowned slightly, "Mr Shen, you're not going to go back on your word are you?"
"Do I look like someone who would go back on his word?"
"Then you …"
"You did a good job with your food and served well, so I changed my mind and decided to hire you." Shen Yi raised his eyebrows. His gaze swept across her face as if it was a gentle breeze.
Gu Qingzi wasn't used to talking to this man under such circumstances. It wasn't because she was being hypocritical, but she felt it was strange when the person talking to her was Shen Yi.
"Hire me? You must be joking. " The corner of Gu Qingzi's mouth twitched as she looked at the man in front of her with a strange expression.
She came here to work only to pay back the money for Gu Wei. She didn't intend to work yet.
"I never joke." Shen Yi stepped forward and looked down at her.
Because of their height difference, when this tall man stepped forward to block Gu Qingjin's path, even the wind around her was swept away.
"How is it? Won't it be okay if you follow me and become my servant girl? "I can control my appetite and I won't bully you. It will make your days more comfortable than before." Shen Yi said in a low voice. There was a hidden meaning in his words.
He subconsciously wanted to reach out and touch her hair as he looked at her. There was a warm feeling flowing through his heart, but he suddenly thought of something and held himself back.
Gu Qingzi didn't notice his strangeness, but it was because the word "comfort" had given her some ideas. Ever since she had arrived in this foreign world, she hadn't had a day of comfort.
But so what? No matter what path she chose, she would walk on her own.
She curled her lips and spoke in a helpless tone, "I said … Young Master Shen, stop messing with me. Do you really need me for the numerous servants in your residence?" To you, I'm just one person away from you. It's getting late, it's about time for me to go back. "
Shen Yi frowned and was about to say something.
On the other side, a servant whispered to each other in ridicule.
He could not understand most of what was being said, but there was nothing good to say anyway.
Shen Yi was patient and didn't say anything. Gu Qingzi slightly nodded her head to indicate to him and then left the Gu household.
Only Shen Yi was left standing there, staring blankly at the door.
Gu Loong wasn't home when Gu Qingzi came back. She only found out that the village was divided into different fields when she asked him about it. That person went to join Feng Tian.
Just when she wanted to know when Gu Loong went there, the person came back with an ugly expression and swore for the first time.
"How did you get back so soon?" Gu Qingzi felt a little strange. She raised her head and looked at the sky. "It's still early. Since there should be a lot of people sharing the land, how did you get it all done so quickly?"
"What's the end of it? Don't mention it, it's really bad luck." Gu Loong sighed, walked to her side and punched the door frame as if he was venting something.
His face was unsightly, as if something bad had happened to him, and he wasn't even in the mood to greet Gu Qingzi when she returned.
"What's wrong?" Gu Qingzi frowned.
He was filled with anger.
"I went over early this morning, but it's not here yet." Gu Loong still felt a bit angry when he said this: "They were clearly ranked later than me, but they just left me alone. Really …"
"So you mean you didn't get it?" Gu Qingzi felt it was strange. "Logically speaking, that won't happen. This is based on the number of people. Even if we're not the first family, it's impossible for us to not get any information in the end, so let's just say …"
She paused and didn't finish her words. She changed her tone and said, "How about this, don't be in such a hurry to get on fire. They will be split up. Go to the Village Head and tell him about it yourself. Let's see what he can say."
"Will it work?" Gu Loong doubted.
"What's wrong with that? Dividing territories is a matter of the village chief to begin with. Listen to me, go and find him."
"Alright, I'll go now. I need him to give me an explanation." Gu Loong nodded seriously and left with a sure expression.
When he found the village chief, he was discussing something with someone else.
However, he did not pay much attention to the brash ones. He directly went over and greeted, "Village Chief."
"Oh, so it's Gu Loong. Is something the matter?" When the village chief saw the person who had arrived, his smiling mouth couldn't help but twitch. Instinctively, his face sank.
The man who spoke to Gu Loong before he came also retreated a few steps with tacit understanding, as if trying to lower his presence.
"Village Chief, I came here to ask about the distribution of land." Gu Loong recounted what happened this morning in detail and then asked: "I would like to ask what's going on with our Tian? "How come there's still no sharing …"
"Gu Loong, it's not that the Village Head doesn't want to talk about you, but you should be clear about this matter of dividing the territory, right?" The Village Chief's eyes flashed, his words halting halfway.
Gu Loong frowned, "Village Head, what do you mean? I don't understand."
"What's there to not understand? I heard that Gu Qingfeng was sick before, but that was with a whole set of abilities. Your family has money, so your family won't need to take advantage of such a small matter like splitting the land, right?"
"In my opinion, it would be better to leave these to those in trouble from other families. Although this place should have your share, to be honest, you shouldn't really need it."
The Village Chief waved his hand as he spoke. With a peaceful expression, he said, "Let your Tian go. This matter shall be settled as such."
Gu Loong was surprised for a moment, and fiercely frowned and retorted: "How can we do that? Whether the Gu family's situation is good or bad is our business. Why should we let out this thing that should belong to us?
"If you don't want to agree, then so be it. Your land is already gone. Even if you don't want it, it's already too late." The Village Chief was displeased by his rebuttal. He impatiently waved his hand and said, "Alright, let's do this. If you have nothing else to say, you can leave."
"This won't do, I must make this matter clear …"
"Didn't you already say it clearly? If you continue to mess around here, don't blame me for being impolite!" There was a hint of threat in the Village Head's tone.
Gu Loong clenched his teeth. Although he felt that what he did was unfair, he had no other choice. He could only leave with a face full of dust.
However, just as he stepped out of the door, he heard the village chief's voice speaking to the person he had just met.
"Heh, don't you know what kind of trash you are? You even personally came here to look for trouble. Being able to speak to him politely is already not bad, and you still want to share my land?"
"But if you do that, they'll be furious."
"Find trouble? He dares, just you wait, sooner or later I'll kick the Gu family out of here. "
