Gu Junzhu smiled and asked Ye Xingbei, "Back in your village, was there anyone who treated you well?"
"Of course!" Ye Xingbei said, "Our village was simple and honest, and many people treated me well."
Gu Junzhu asked, "About how many families treated you the best?"
Ye Xingbei thought for a moment, "About five or six families."
Gu Junzhu asked, "Do these five or six families live near your uncle and aunt?"
"Yes," Ye Xingbei looked at him curiously, "Why are you asking about this?"
Gu Junzhu said, "I understand if you don’t want to see your uncle and aunt, but don’t you want to see those who once helped you?"
"I do," Ye Xingbei said, "But I’ve thought about it. Their home and my uncle and aunt’s home are very close. If I go to visit them, my uncle and aunt will definitely hear about it. I’m afraid my uncle and aunt will come and bother me. Just thinking about having to argue with them gives me a headache."
"My uncle is tolerable, but my aunt is just a rascal. If she holds onto my leg and says she’s too poor to get by and begs me to lend her some money, should I lend it or not?"
Gu Junzhu said, "Of course not."
"Yes, I think so too, of course not," Ye Xingbei said, "If I really give her money, it’s not lending, it’s giving it away for free, and she won’t pay it back! But if I don’t give it to her, she’s the kind of shrew who will hurl all sorts of nasty insults. Even if she insults me, you can get back at her for me, but why should I endure insults? I don’t want to hear her curse me at all, so it’s better not to see her."
Since the day they decided on the trip to the small town, she’s thought about this many times. freёwebnovel.com
Her aunt is the most typical kind of shrew, tough and shameless, who can curse with all sorts of filthy words.
She has two kids.
She doesn’t want to dirty the kids’ ears.
"Alright, as you say, you’re right, even if I can get back at her afterwards, I don’t want to hear anyone curse you with filthy language," Gu Junzhu said, "But I have a way to avoid your uncle and aunt while still seeing those who helped you in the past."
Ye Xingbei: "What way?"
Gu Junzhu said, "I’ll send someone to lure your uncle and aunt away, and then we’ll buy more gifts to visit those who helped you. By the time your uncle and aunt come back, you’ll be gone, ensuring you don’t meet them."
Ye Xingbei’s eyes lit up, "That’s a great idea!"
Gu Junzhu smiled gently, "I think so too."
Ye Xingbei suddenly laughed, poked his chest with a finger, and said, "I know what you’re up to... you’re so... sly!"
Fifth Lord of Gu looked innocent, "What am I up to that makes you call me that?"
Ye Xingbei laughed, "I’m not calling you names, I’m praising you!"
Gu Junzhu shook his head, "Your way of praising is quite special. I don’t feel honored at all!"
"Really, really, I genuinely think you’re amazing, you’re clever!" Ye Xingbei’s eyes twinkled with interest, "You get my uncle and aunt out of the way, then give others lots of expensive gifts. When my uncle and aunt return and see others getting so many nice things for free while they get nothing, with their temperament of feeling like they’ve lost something if they don’t gain, they’ll be fuming!"
"That’s their problem," Gu Junzhu said, "The gifts are yours; you can give them to whoever you want. You reap what you sow. They didn’t get gifts because they weren’t good people to begin with, who can they blame?"
