Chapter 1763: Not Worth It to Be Angry With a Dead Man
Bai Yiqiao really wished to kill Li Gouzi immediately. It was too revolting to look at him for even a second more.
Seeing that Bai Yiqiao had compromised, Li Gouzi immediately cracked his mouth open and beamed with his yellow teeth. He thought his threat had worked, so he said after thinking, “Five hundred taels.”
Hearing such a huge amount, Bai Yiqiao’s face was expressionless. She couldn’t even be bothered to be angry. It was not worth it to be angry with a dead man.
Killing such scum also counted as doing something good for the common people.
Bai Yiqiao said faintly, “That’s too much. I don’t have that much at all. I only have some shares in Lucky Restaurant. Most of the profit goes to Wen Yu. After giving you a few hundred taels last time, I don’t have any money on me anymore.”
“Then how much do you have?” asked Li Gouzi quickly.
Bai Yiqiao said, “Twenty taels.”
She used to throw away hundreds of taels at the drop of a hat. When Li Gouzi heard ‘twenty taels,’ he immediately said with dissatisfaction, “Are you kidding me?”
In fact, twenty taels was not a small amount. Ordinary people wouldn’t necessarily be able to earn two taels in an entire year. Li Gouzi had just been spoiled, and his appetite was getting bigger and bigger.
Even if Bai Yiqiao told herself not to be angry, her liver still hurt from Li Gouzi’s shameless behavior.
“Whether you want it or not, I have nothing more to give.” Bai Yiqiao’s face was cold, slightly twisted even.
Li Gouzi immediately threatened her, “Did you think I was kidding when I said that I’ll tell others about your love affairs?”
“Go and tell others if you want. Once I’m dead, let’s see who you ask for money,” said Bai Yiqiao fiercely.
“You really don’t have any more?” Li asked Gouzi.
Bai Yiqiao shook her head and didn’t even bother to speak.
“Then, give me twenty taels.”
Li Gouzi took the money given by Bai Yiqiao and went to the town to indulge himself. Not long after he left, Bai Yiqiao followed him to the town.
Ning Shu, who was paying attention to the movement of the Fang family, noticed Bai Yiqiao heading to the town. After considering things, she decided to follow her.
Bai Yiqiao first went to Lucky Restaurant to see Wen Yu. Looking at her pale and thin face, Wen Yu asked in surprise, “Are you sick?”
Bai Yiqiao sighed and said, “Recently, a hoodlum has been bothering me. A local rogue named Li Gouzi insisted on claiming to be my husband. He loves to ruin the girls and the daughters-in-law of the village. Whenever the women in the village see him, they’ll take a detour. I don’t know where, but he heard that I had shares in Lucky Restaurant, so he came to blackmail me.”
Wen Yu nodded. “That’s exactly what I was thinking. How could such a person be worthy of you?”
“Wen Yu, do you have a house that no one lives in? I want to borrow it,” said Bai Yiqiao to Wen Yu, her voice tinged with coquetry and pleading.
“I do have one, but what for?” Wen Yu held a teacup and took a sip.
“Just to teach that Li Gouzi a lesson. If he continues spreading nonsense, my reputation will be ruined by him, and Fang Yong will be angry,” said Bai Yiqiao.
“How do you want to teach him?” Wen Yu said indifferently, obviously not that concerned about the fate of a local ruffian. “If you really feel troubled, I’ll take care of it for you.”
“No, I’ll just do it myself.” Bai Yiqiao said, “I’ll be thankful if you could lend me a house.”
