89 Chapter 89 The Feud Between Gu And Qiao (1)

When they came out, they saw the patriarch waiting outside their door not far away. The couple immediately jogged over and asked, “Uncle, were you waiting for us?”

“Yeah, let me tell you about the Qiao family.” The patriarch nodded.

“Then let’s talk at home.” Gu Chengrui brought him home after that.

When they reached home, Gu Chengrui brought him directly into the living room while Zhou Ying tied Er Zhuang up. She then went to the kitchen and started the fire. She boiled some water, made a pot of ordinary Longjing tea, and brought it back to the house.

She then poured a cup of tea for each of them and sat on the brick bed.

“Since Ying is also here, tell me your thoughts.” The patriarch suggested as he picked up the teacup and blew on it while slowly drinking the tea.

Gu Chengrui nodded and glanced at Zhou Ying. “Uncle, I’ve discussed this with Ying before. I’d rather give the recipe for the braised intestines for free to someone else than to the Qiao family.”

“Yes, there’s a phrase called ‘insatiable’.

“If we compromise this time, they might become even more demanding in the future.

“When that time comes, we only have two choices. One is to continue to compromise, become their slaves, and be their dogs.

“Since we are going to resist sooner or later, why don’t we start now? We’ll let him know that the Gu family isn’t easy to deal with.” Zhou Ying agreed.

“Insatiable, that’s an apt way to put it. We really can’t back down on this matter. Otherwise, I’m afraid that there won’t be a place for the Gu clan in Shanghe Village.” The patriarch said in agreement.

“I won’t hide it from you,” he continued. “The oil mill hasn’t been stable recently. If I hadn’t found out in time, something might have happened to it.”

“What happened? They want to destroy the oil mill?” Gu Chengrui asked in surprise.

“You can say that. Our clan’s oil mill has persisted until today because of Master Wan’s skills. The oil he can produce is fragrant, clean, and clear. Even the county headquarter uses our oil.

“About half a month ago, he was almost kidnapped. If it weren’t for the people from the oil mill who found out in time, our oil mill wouldn’t have been able to last.

“Recently, I asked your brother Chengen to send someone to investigate and finally found out about Dongxin Building, which is the Qiao family’s business.”

“So that’s how it is. Then, Uncle, you mean that we should unite and resist together?” Gu Chengrui nodded in understanding.

“That’s right. Since the Qiao family doesn’t want us to live a peaceful life, we don’t have to be afraid of them.”

“May I ask, how did the Gu and Qiao families become enemies?”

The patriarch froze for a moment. He sighed and continued, “Speaking of which, I have to start from the generation of your great grandfather, who is my grandfather.

“A hundred years ago, my grandfather and the older generation of the Qiao family were brothers who fought together.

“After their business gradually started to build up, the two families got married and had children one after another.

“When your grandmother, the eldest daughter of the Qiao family, was born, she was engaged to your grandfather.

“Unfortunately, later on, the great-grandfather of the Qiao family had some other thoughts and took in a concubine. That concubine was ambitious and took advantage of the time when old master Qiao was out to harm your great-grandmother.

“As the saying goes, with a stepmother comes a stepfather. Your grandmother suffered a lot at home later. Fortunately, your grandfather grew up and liked your grandma, so they got married smoothly.

“However, after they got married, your grandmother’s step-sister, also your great-aunt, had her eyes on your grandfather. She even almost caused your grandmother to have a miscarriage when she was pregnant.

“Later on, your great-aunt was tricked by your grandmother into marrying a drunkard and was beaten to death.

“When that concubine found out, she wanted to exact revenge, but old master Qiao stopped her and imprisoned her in the estate.”
