Chapter 245 - 245 Grow a Spine

245 Grow a Spine

“Dagui, you’re too much.” Xue Darong’s face darkened. “Your wife had an affair and you even raised their son for nothing!”

Xue Dafu’s expression was also ugly. Dagui’s spine was too weak!

Many people also felt that Xue Dagui was too soft-hearted. He was fine just by getting some money?

However, there were also many people in the crowd who were very envious. This was 66 silver. 66 silver for goodness sake! Xue Dagui had struck it rich!

w.a.n.g Sufen was envious and jealous. She didn’t want Xue Dagui to get rich at all. She always watched others get rich while her family didn’t show any signs of getting rich. She felt terrible.

w.a.n.g Sufen couldn’t help but say, “Dagui, you can’t be like this. Why don’t you take a look at what’s going on? You can’t settle this privately with money.”

Although Xue Wufu didn’t think of getting rich and wasn’t jealous, he was still furious. “Can you grow a spine?”

He was really angry now!

How could he be like this?

“A spine can’t feed a family,” Xue Dagui immediately retorted. He even chuckled. “If I had sixty-six silver, I could do many things. Not only could it make my life better, I can have money to marry another wife, and I can even send my son to school for a few years. How good would that be? But if I reported it to the authorities and killed that b*tch and that adulterer, I would only be able to vent my anger. I wouldn’t get anything else. How unprofitable would that be?”

Even so, Chief Lu was still furious, “Xue Dagui, you’re insufferable!”

Chief Lu’s wife was quite jealous as well. She seemed to agree with him, but in fact, she said something sour, “He’s always been like this, how could he not want so much money?”

At this moment, Xue Dahua, who had been silent the entire time, finally spoke up and asked Xue Dagui, “Will you really provide Xue Gouzi an education for a few years?”

“Of course, I only have one son now. I’m counting on him to take care of me in my old age!” Xue Dagui immediately said. “You can learn a lot by studying. Then, he can find a good job in town. It’s much better than farming.”

“Then I’ll support you in taking the money,” Xue Dahua said.

“What?!” Xue Darong’s eyes widened in disbelief. “You believe his nonsense?”

Xue Dahua said, “Bro, it’s not that we don’t want to stand up for him. You saw it for yourself. That is how he is. He softened his stance immediately. If this money can provide an education for Gouzi, it’s a good thing.”

Xue Darong fell silent.

Chief Lu, Xue Dafu, and the others fell silent.

Jiang Yue and Xue Yan just looked at him without saying anything.

“Hehe, I’m not talking nonsense. If you don’t believe me, I can leave the sixty-six silver with you, okay? It’s fine to use it all on my son’s studies. Anyway, I only have Gouzi now. In the future, everything I have will be his.” Xue Dagui said shamelessly to his big brother.

Xue Darong finally believed him. A sense of powerlessness immediately welled up in him. He said helplessly, “Why would you leave it with me? You should keep it for yourself. Just don’t pester me for more in the future.”

“Alright, alright, hehe.” Xue Dagui spoke as he drooled more.

Seeing Xue Darong’s support, w.a.n.g Sufen was worried that Xue Dagui would become rich. “Village chief, say something!”

“Dagui, you have to keep your word,” Chief Lu sighed.

w.a.n.g Sufen was so angry that she fell backward in a fit.

“Definitely, I definitely will.” Xue Dagui chuckled even more. “Anyway, I wouldn’t be able to get past my father’s scolding either. I’ll go to the school in town and ask when they can accept Gouzi to study. Let’s not wait for next year, let’s do it immediately.”
