Chapter 968: Compensation
Editor: Henyee Translations
Gu Yundong wanted to laugh. She shrugged and said, “This is your choice.”
Now, they should know that when they wanted to punish others in the future, they should consider it carefully, right?
Aunt He had left, but Gu Yundong had also found out the whereabouts of the hairpin from He Xiu.
She said to Shi Dashan and his wife, “The hairpin is hidden under the bed in Lan Hua’er’s room. You should be able to find it when you go back. If you find it, bring it over. It’s not easy for you to go to the Jiang family. I’ll get Shuitao to make a trip and come back with my father and the others. It won’t attract anyone’s attention.”
“Thank you, boss.”
Gu Yundong waved her hand. Shi Dashan and his wife were still a little ashamed. After all, it was their relatives who caused this. If not for the Gu family’s bright minds, they would have really suffered.
The two of them quickly returned home. There were still some guests at home, so they stayed behind to help eat dinner.
While Shi Dashan was entertaining them, He Ye found the hairpin and rushed to the Gu residence.
Just like that, a small storm subsided until Zhuangzi returned.
He came back very late. As the brother-in-law, he had to stay at the Jiang family’s wedding banquet after sending her off. He was forced to drink a lot and was dizzy. He only woke up the next day.
Unexpectedly, when he woke up and heard his parents mention the hairpin, he exploded on the spot.
After washing his face, Zhuangzi went straight to the He family.
He was not someone to be trifled with, especially when it came to the He family, who did not treat them as family at all. He kicked over the basket in the He family’s courtyard.
Then, he asked He Xiu for compensation, but the He family refused. Uncle He even scolded Zhuangzi for being unfilial and disrespectful to his elders. Zhuangzi almost broke his hand.
In any case, his sister was already married, and he was not in a hurry to get married. He did not care about reputation at all. He directly started fighting with his uncle.
Uncle He was no match for him at all. In the end, the others in the He family could only give him one tael of silver as compensation.
Zhuangzi took the silver and even stole an old hen in the courtyard before he left.
“This is to calm my parents down. Who asked He Xiu to scare them yesterday?”
“You…” Uncle He was so angry that he almost vomited blood. “In the future, the He family will have nothing to do with your mother. We won’t be relatives anymore. We’ll sever our ties.”
Zhuangzi sneered. “I can’t wait. Who cares about you guys?”
He had long wanted to cut ties with them. Ever since the two elders of the He family passed away, Uncle He had treated it as if He Ye did not exist. When the Shi family was in trouble, the He family had cut ties with them long ago. They had not interacted with each other for more than ten years. What was the difference from cutting ties?
Now that Zhuangzi’s family had become rich, they started to rush over to take advantage of them. It was better not to have such relatives.
Zhuangzi took the silver and carried the old hen home.
When he told his parents about this, Shi Dashan had the same thoughts as Zhuangzi. However, He Ye’s eyes were red and she felt very uncomfortable. No matter what, that man was her biological brother. Now that she had come this far, she felt as if she had been alone when she came to this world.
Zhuangzi scratched his head. He did not know how to comfort her, so he simply left the house.
He left the old hen behind and went to the Gu family with the tael of silver.
“Boss, the He family compensated you with this silver. Take it.”
Gu Yundong glanced at the silver and took it.
