Chapter 591: Unrecognized Kindness

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

The villagers were engaged in a heated discussion, their words painting Gu Zi in an increasingly negative light. Some, who had initially held a favorable opinion of her, found themselves wavering. Doubt crept into their voices as they questioned, “But she’s always gotten along well with Aunt Zhang in our village. Aunt Zhang is a straightforward person. If Gu Zi were as malicious as you say, how could Aunt Zhang possibly approve of her?”

The conversation continued, with one villager chiming in, “She’s just good at pretending. Aunt Zhang may be straightforward, but that makes her easy to manipulate, don’t you know? I’ve also heard that she’s planning to hold training classes in three villages, teaching everyone how to do business. She’s even decided to start in Little Lin Village.”

Another villager expressed his knowledge of the matter, “You’ve heard about this too? I heard it from the village head. He’s currently discussing with the village secretary about the location for the training classes. They’re even considering building a house on someone’s land specifically for the classes.”

The villagers’ discontent grew, “That’s outrageous! They’re even considering our land. I won’t allow it. The village head should have called a village meeting to discuss such a significant matter, not make decisions behind our backs. I used to respect the village head, but it seems he’s just as opportunistic. Regardless, it’s my land, and I have the final say. No one can use it for their training classes.”

The skepticism deepened, “What’s this about teaching us to do business? It sounds nice, but they’re just trying to exploit us. It’s just Gu Zi’s money-making scheme. If money were that easy to make, would there be so many poor people? They must think we rural folks are fools. I won’t be attending any training classes!”

Gu Zi had been aware of the villagers’ unrest. She had heard some of their comments about the training classes and couldn’t help but feel displeased. Indeed, there was such a plan.

However, the training classes were something the village head had asked her to organize. She hadn’t decided whether to proceed with it yet. But given the villagers’ lack of appreciation, she found herself reconsidering the matter.

She was about to leave with her dog, Big Yellow, when a woman stopped her. The hostility in her voice was palpable, “Don’t get any ideas. We won’t be fooled by your training classes. You won’t be using us as your money-making tools.”

Although the others remained silent, many gave the woman a supportive look. Their gaze towards Gu Zi was wary, as if they were looking at a cunning and ruthless opportunist, afraid that they might be sold out by her at any moment.

Just as the two children entered the house, Su Shen returned to find Gu Zi. Seeing his beloved wife being targeted, his expression turned cold, like the ominous sky before a heavy downpour. He shielded Gu Zi and addressed the woman and the villagers, “Rest assured, my wife won’t be organizing any training classes, nor will she require your land for it.”

Su Shen was aware of the matter. The village head had mentioned it to him, seeing that Gu Zi had a knack for business and hoping she could help organize the training classes to help everyone prosper. However, he had disagreed from the start. It wasn’t because he didn’t want Gu Zi to have her own pursuits, but because he knew it would be a thankless task.

It would be difficult to do well, and even if it were successful, no one would be grateful. He didn’t want Gu Zi to exhaust herself over it. But the village head had approached Gu Zi separately, and she had agreed to consider it. Now, with the villagers causing a fuss, it seemed like a good time to put an end to the idea. freeωebnovēl.c૦m

The woman was somewhat intimidated by Su Shen. Seeing him step forward to speak, she didn’t know what to say. However, the other villagers responded to Su Shen, their tone relatively polite, “Since Boss Su has spoken, we naturally believe him. If there’s no such thing, that’s good. Let’s all disperse.”

As Gu Zi watched the villagers, just as Su Shen was about to lead her into the house, she pressed his palm, signaling him to wait. She decided to be upfront with the villagers, “There’s no need to disperse so quickly. Since everyone is here today, I might as well clarify things. Indeed, there is a plan to hold training classes, and a specific venue is needed.”

The woman who had been silenced by Su Shen earlier immediately retorted, “See, she admitted it herself. She really is planning to hold training classes. And who knows what sweet words she used to convince the village head and the village secretary. I think we’re definitely being taken advantage of!”

“Didn’t Su Shen say there was no such thing? Why is Gu Zi saying there is? What’s really going on?”
