Mr. Gu heard Gu Chengyu calling him, and was ready to step forward to assist. But, Yang Laosan called Wang Yue, so Mr. Gu stood motionless.
Wang Yue helped Yang Laosan up, the two said nothing, supporting each other and quickly disappeared outside the Gu Family's courtyard door.
"Brother Gu, you have raised a good son! In the future, you can just wait to enjoy blessings! Today's matter is merely a difference in stance, I'm in a difficult position too! I hope Brother Gu won't be angry, please forgive me!" Lin Lize bowed to Mr. Gu, as a gesture of apology.
"What are you saying, village chief? You have your difficulties too!" Mr. Gu said this, but deep down he was already dissatisfied with him. He didn't believe that Lin Lize hadn't initially had the same intentions as the villagers to covet his family's silver; he just knew how to speak appropriately.
After Lin Lizheng left, the Gu Family finally returned to peace, though everyone was still somewhat indignant.
