Gu Yundong and Chen Liang looked at each other before walking up the stairs.
The moment she went up, it was instantly quiet below.
Then, everybody heard her clear voice. âThe road I want to build is indeed a main road. At the very least, it can accommodate two carriages to pass through at the same time. Therefore, it wonât be fixed on the original road. It will be a new one from the foot of the mountain to the village entrance.â
Everyone was stunned. A new one?
Someone was dissatisfied. The road from the foot of the mountain to the entrance of the village had nothing to do with them. They didnât pass by there when they left the village.
Some people quickly realized that the Gu familyâs house was at the foot of the mountain.
Wasnât this convenient for her family? What kind of benevolence was this?
Gu Yundong listened to them. On the other hand, Chen Liangâs forehead was covered in sweat. Damn it, he had been too full of himself just now. Unintentionally, he had set up a trap the Gu girl.
Gu Yundong, on the other hand, was very calm. She knew Chen Liangâs intentions. He wanted her to have a good reputation and increase her prestige.
Gu Yundong appreciated Chen Liangâs kindness, but her thoughts were different from Chen Liangâs.
She did not need such prestige. In fact, such a reputation was a burden to her. Others would think that she had done a good deed and accept it as a matter of course. In the future, they would use other things to kidnap her morally.
It was better to make everything clear. In any case, those who were smart would naturally be grateful to her when they experienced the benefits of the main road in the future.
Those who wanted to take advantage of you and felt that you had not given them enough benefits would only push their luck and use your âbenevolenceâ label to restrain you. Once you were a little âunbenevolentâ, it would be wrong.
Hence, she made it very clear. âSince Iâm the one paying to build the road, Iâll naturally decide where it will be built. If I pay and work to build the road myself, and someone says that my horse shouldnât take that road and dirty the road, then Iâm probably a fool, right?â
Someone laughed out loud. Many people knew who she was referring to.
The woman who had been clamoring just now was furious, but she really did not dare to argue with her in front of Gu Yundong.
After all, Gu Yundongâs brutal manner of attacking without any explanation was too memorable.
Gu Yundong continued, âIâm not afraid to make it clear. This road is built to make it more convenient to travel. Of course, I wonât stop everyone from walking just because I paid to build the road. If everyone feels that itâs more convenient to walk on the main road, then take the main road. If you feel that itâs not time-consuming to walk on the small road, then take the small road. Itâs just an additional road that will make it more convenient for everyone to drive ox carts, donkey carts, and carriages in the future.â
Someone thought, Hey, isnât that so?
âOur family is planning to buy an ox recently. It will definitely be comfortable to drag the cart on the main road in the future.â
âThatâs true. In the past, when we were pulling the cart to transport food, we kept bumping obstacles on the village road. It was too strenuous.â
âThen when I go to the foot of the mountain to pick up firewood in the future, wonât I be able to carry it directly to the village entrance from the main road? Yundong, is the main road straight? Will it take many turns?â
Gu Yundong replied with a smile, âNo, itâs just a straight road.â
âThatâs great.â
âHeh, our family is planning to buy a donkey cart. With the main road, I wonât have to worry about my driving skills being bad.â
The discussion below was turning for the better. Although there were still some voices that made people uncomfortable, Chen Liang still heaved a sigh of relief.
Gu Yundong waited for everyone to finish talking before continuing, âNext, I need to hire 20 people to build the road. Anyone who is interested can sign up at the village chiefâs place.â
