Chapter 891: Trouble incoming
"That's right, you want to ask Doctor Gu to help you? Forget about it. There is no way Doctor Gu is going to help you, dont even think about it, understand?" One of the villagers scolded the villagers of the Big Stone Village with annoyance brimming in his voice.
These people surely had thick skin, they were the ones who caused huge trouble for their village and even bit Doctor Gu to the point that her hand was still swollen. Her daughter was the one who was helping her by feeding and taking care of her mother, with such a thing happening, even if these people were to go on their knees and beg they were not going to agree!
When the villagers of the Big Stone Village heard this, they were stunned. If Doctor Gu did not help them then what were they going to do? They needed Doctor Gu!
" Why are you doing this to us? Do you wish to see us dead is that it? Our village will die if these women are not treated."
"That's right, that's right. My wife is the sole bread earner of our family —— if her waist is not treated what will we do? I have an elderly and young one to care for!"
The crowd of mers and weak women cried until the entire surroundings were full of their cries making many women from the Big River Village rush ahead and slap a few women who were crying like the world was coming to an end.
" All right, all right, shut up!" Village head Gu waved her hand as she felt a throbbing headache start in her head as she glared at the crowd who was crying in front of her. " Do you think that we don't know what is going on in your head huh? Fine, if you want Doctor Gu to treat you it is not impossible, all you need to do is to pay three hundred coins for each patient consultation and you can see her."
Doctor Gu usually charged only a few coins to treat twisted waist and limbs but she was beaten up by these villagers and she deserved some compensation from these people which was why Village head Gu raised the consultation price by a large degree.
'
More importantly, With the snow piled up on the path to the town, these people will never be able to take so many women to the town and have them treated. If they wanted to save their wives and sisters then they will have to do it her way.
She paused and then added, " You also need to pay for the compensation to those whom you have injured, if your wives are the sole bread earners, the women from my village are the same. Their hands, arms, back and many other places were cut by your wives with their scythe, you can see how badly they are bleeding. Each woman will receive at least seven hundred coins, which means that you will have to pay a tael each to them and don't try to act smart with me. I have calculated everything really well."
When the women from the Big Stone Village heard the words of Village head Gu, they couldn't help but shiver.
Calculated very well? Why don't you go ahead and ascend to the heavens? What the hell have you calculated? A silver tael? They did not even have ten copper coins!
" You are going too far! There is no way we will be able to pay such a high price!"
" Thats right, you might as well go ahead and rob us," sneered the other woman who looked at Village head Gu who sneered and then crossed her arms in front and then said, " You should be glad that I am not adding the mental trauma that you have given us all by making a man-made avalanche. Do you want me to add another tael?"
Village head Gu had heard about this so-called mental trauma from Yu Dong who used it when she wanted to snatch as much money as possible from the other person.
The lips of the Village chief of the Big River Village trembled as he looked at Village head Gu and snarled, " You are going too far, Madam Gu!"
" Too far? You haven't even seen how far we can go! If Yu Dong was here then you will have to hand even your undergarments to her," Village head Gu sneered as she turned to look at the woman who was speaking to her and scoffed, " You should be glad that I am at least allowing you all to leave with your clothes on!"
"…."
Thank you, we have no idea how we should show our gratitude.
Seeing that they were all looking dissatisfied, Village head Gu arched a brow and scoffed, " You think that this is too much? Have you ever seen the layer of snow which got piled up in our village? How many houses might have gotten damaged because of this snow? Who do you think should pay for it? There were even some crops that we sowed but they are all ruined by you. I don't even want to see your face much less take your money, if possible I wish I could kill you all."
These people were just a bunch of beasts and letting them stay alive was the biggest grace!
" Are you threatening us? Don't tell me that you really don't care about the mers of your village? Even if we can't kill them, we can make life difficult for them!" The village chief of the Big Stone Village cried as she glared at Village Head Gu.
" Then go ahead and do it, you might not know that they are the very reason that we called our cows and pigs back. If you did not have those mers in your village then you can completely forget about getting out of this village alive, we would have buried you in this very snow! If you want to hand the money to us then do us but if you don't give us the money then we will chase you out of the village!"
