Rebirth: She is Ready for a Counterattack!-Chapter 457 - 456: None of You Are a Match for Me!
Gu Xiaocheng’s hands trembled as Gu Xiaoqing bought his company at an almost giveaway price. If he wanted to keep working, he would have to accept everything today. If he wanted to be unemployed, Gu Xiaoqing didn’t care; admitting it was admitting it.
Who could do anything to her?!
Gu Xiaocheng, with tears in his eyes and trembling legs, finally swallowed his tears and admitted, "Fine, let’s say, let’s say I fooled everyone, everyone..."
Before Gu Xiaocheng could finish, a brick was hurled at him, knocking him unconscious on the ground, and he was then swarmed by the people of Gu Family Village.
Gu Xiaoqing did not send anyone to rescue him; she waited until it seemed enough, then beckoned to someone behind her and instructed, "Check if he’s dead; if not, send him to the county hospital. Oh, and report it to the police by the way."
"Boss, with this group handling it, even if the kid doesn’t die later, he’ll be a vegetable."
Ryan estimated it based on the medical facilities in the United States, which were far beyond what was available here.
Gu Xiaocheng was bound to become a vegetable!
The villagers saw that Gu Xiaocheng was no longer moving and then surrounded Gu Xiaoqing and her group.
Some picked up stones, others picked up shovels, wooden sticks, and other things.
"Gu Xiaoqing, return the land to us, and from now on, Gu Family Village will be clear with you."
Gu Changhai wanted to make one last effort.
"Hahaha, laugh, laugh to death. Come, come, translate for them what was just said."
The translator, drenched in cold sweat, knew he couldn’t provoke this group; he couldn’t provoke anyone.
As soon as he finished translating, everyone present burst into laughter, as if this group was just a joke to them.
"Gu Changhai, I used to respect you because you were sensible. Now I realize it was my vision that was limited before. You seriously think I should return to you what I spent money on? Do you think this is child’s play?"
"You, Gu Xiaoqing, don’t bully people too much."
Seeing his father insulted, Gu Changhai’s son, who once dominated the village, rushed over waving a knife. After all, only the strong could be village chief, right?!
"Ready to play rough?"
Gu Xiaoqing looked mockingly at the approaching group and said to Ryan, "Handle it, but don’t kill anyone."
Ryan glanced at the people behind him and directly pulled out a gun from behind his waistband, pointing it at the knife-wielding son of Gu Changhai.
"Kid, today’s your lucky day!"
As soon as Ryan pulled out the gun, the villagers were already scared, and after he said something in English they didn’t understand, there was a gunshot.
Gu Changhai’s son stood there dumbfounded, his knife falling to the ground, his wrist bleeding bright red.
"Ah!"
Immediately, Gu Changhai’s son fell to the ground, clutching his wrist and moaning, tears and snot streaming down his face. It was as pathetic as it gets.
"Son!"
Gu Changhai didn’t expect the opponents to be so fierce.
They were utterly reckless!
At this point, the villagers finally noticed a series of clicking sounds, realizing that everyone in the opposing group was armed, and there was absolutely no chance for them to bluff.
They had no doubt that if they charged, the opponents would shoot without hesitation.
Third Old Master Gu also glared angrily, staring at Gu Xiaoqing; pleading didn’t work, relying on numbers didn’t work, and now throwing fits didn’t work either.
He knew the game was over!
He felt that his greatest mistake was seeing Gu Xiaoqing as a compliant little sheep.
In reality, this woman was a hungry wolf in sheep’s clothing.
But now, it was too late for regrets.
"Give it to them, just give it to them."
Third Old Master Gu gasped for breath, waving his hand; he didn’t want to fight anymore.
Gu Xiaoqing had far surpassed his understanding; perhaps what she’d seen in the world, he hadn’t seen in three lifetimes.
He felt he was truly old.
"Good, third old master, I truly have to thank you! Susan, from the artificial river to the downstream, is it enough for us to build the factory?"
"Just about, boss."
"When will the materials arrive? Can we see a prototype within a month?"
"Don’t worry, boss, we’ve arranged everything."
At this moment, Gu Changhai suddenly came to his senses, holding Third Old Master Gu, stood up, and asked Gu Xiaoqing, "What did you say? Artificial river canal? Isn’t it from the upstream of the river to west of the downstream?"
"Who said that? It’s clearly from the upstream of the artificial river canal to west of the downstream."
Gu Xiaoqing said calmly.
When Third Old Master Gu heard this, he couldn’t hold back anymore, spat out blood, and fainted on the spot.
Don’t underestimate this tiny difference, but the implication was extremely significant.
The artificial river canal, dug from the river, extended to the ancestral temple of Gu Family Village, intended to provide better Feng Shui for the ancestral temple.
And Gu Xiaoqing’s demand meant taking away the ancestral temple of Gu Family Village.
Gu Xiaoqing intended to demolish the ancestral temple of Gu Family Village!
How could Third Old Master Gu not faint from anger?
Anyone else would have fainted from anger too.
Yet, the people of Gu Family Village feared the guns in Gu Xiaoqing’s people’s hands, and since Gu Xiaoqing had power and money, they could only endure the humiliation in silence.
Just like the humiliation Gu Family Village inflicted on Gu Xiaoqing years ago.
"It doesn’t matter anymore, right? So, let’s begin construction."
Gu Xiaoqing asked loudly, and no one dared to say a word of dissent; they realized this was Gu Xiaoqing’s revenge.
But they didn’t understand; this was Gu Xiaoqing’s revenge over two lifetimes.
In the previous lifetime, Gu Xiaoqing already hated Gu Family Village; in this lifetime, that hatred grew and grew until the issue with Fang Shaohan’s sister-in-law exploded.
Was the tragedy of her previous life caused by the biased grandparents?
No, Gu Ruhai’s weakness held undeniable responsibility; if Gu Ruhai had chosen a side, perhaps there would have been another possibility.
Was the tragedy of her previous life entirely Gu Ruhai’s fault?
No, the indifferent crowd only watched and gossiped about others.
And was she blameless herself?
She was not.
That’s why Gu Xiaoqing decided to change this time, starting with herself.
She began to change herself in the United States and later told her father, mother, sister, and brother what "you can’t have your cake and eat it too" really meant, and now she was going to tell these hard-headed, bully-fearing people that there is an old Chinese saying, ’Thirty years east of the river, thirty years west of the river!’
The farmhouse dishes, the dumplings, and the freshly slaughtered pig prepared by the people of Gu Family Village became plain jokes.
Gu Xiaoqing didn’t plan to go back; for the next week, she only accelerated the delivery of some simple materials in the vast fields.
Of course, the people of Gu Family Village didn’t believe it; they caused several disturbances in town, but instead of dispatching people, the county arrested a few troublemakers and detained them for a few days.
During this period, Gu Xiaoqing lived in a simple prefabricated house, keeping warm with an electric heater.
