Chapter 144

"Girl, I'm sorry, thank you."

In the small yard, the old lady kept saying sorry and thanks, and then called Su Hongshan and Han Dazhuang to sit down on the stone table and bench in the yard, and brought them tea. Then she wiped her tears and said:

"Girl, I'm really sorry before. It's not that old woman, I won't let Chang'er work for you. It's really... The Lu Ban bullies too much and doesn't let us take on any carpenter work. The Lu Ban is so powerful that we can only protect ourselves if we can't fight."

"Our old man was originally the best carpenter in this town, whether it was carving or..."

The old lady said slowly.

The ancestors of the Gu family were originally the best woodworking craftsmen in Song'an Town, especially his old man, who was first-class in woodworking craftsmanship and carving. He accepted seven or eight apprentices, and his sons and grandchildren, and there were about ten people, almost gathering the best woodworking craftsmen in Song'an Town.

But the good times didn't last long, Lu Ban came to Song'an Town.

Since then, the Gu family has collapsed.

Now seven or eight apprentices have been poached four or five by Lu Ban, and their own craftsmanship has been taken to Lu Ban by these apprentices. Lu Ban takes his master and Mr. Gu’s apprentices and Gu family to sing on the stage.

Mr. Gu was so angry that he couldn't get sick. He passed away soon and the Gu family gradually collapsed.

The remaining apprentices were anxious when they saw that the Gu family was getting worse and worse. The younger apprentice was so angry that they went to Lu Ban to smash it and were beaten to death by the Lu Ban thug. Then the others went to find the younger apprentice and met the Lu Ban thug. The remaining two apprentices were also beaten to death in the chaos.

Gu Zechang's father went to sue the official, but there was no evidence. Not only did he fail, he was also beaten in court for false accusation.

After returning, my health became worse and worse, and I passed away soon.

In the entire Gu family, only Gu Zechang and his old mother depended on each other. The old mother almost couldn't resist the blow because of Gu Zechang's father's death. Although Gu thought that his son had not followed him, his health was getting worse day by day. Now, people in their forties looked similar to those in their sixties. They had to rely on crutches to walk every day.

After this incident, Mrs. Zeng was really afraid of Lu Ban. In order for the only remaining Miaomiao of Gu family to be fined, they could only swallow their anger. Not only did they sell the Gu family's previous shop to Lu Ban at a low price, but they also promised not to take on carpenter work from now on. This was how they had been barely safe for so many years.

The old lady said while wiping her tears. The entire Gu family was mixed with Lu Ban's hands. How could she not hate her? But for the sake of Gu's blood, she could only endure it.

"Miss, I never hate you, but the Lu Ban is so cruel. I am the daughter-in-law of the Gu family. The only one left of the Gu family is the mother and son. No matter what, I will keep the only child of the Gu family."

When the old lady said this, Gu Zechang's eyes were also scarlet and he stood aside with his fists, obviously enduring it.

He knew everything about the Gu family. If it weren't for the old mother who stopped him, he would have gone to Lu Ban to fight to the death.

It was not his wish to live so hard now, but he and his old mother could not just take revenge on his own.

Sometimes he wanted to marry his wife and have a child as soon as possible, and then give his mother a care and see him off, and then go to fight Luban.

However, he knew his own situation and his beating conscience made him unable to find a woman like this, which hurt the woman's life, so he just dragged it on again and again.
