The Hunter's Lively Wife-Chapter 2126: Blame

Gu Tiezhu stayed at home recovering for a month or two. While the matchmaker hadn’t found him a satisfactory wife, his injuries gradually healed.

With Gu Tiezhu’s injuries healed, Mrs. An no longer needed to take care of him. Now, Mrs. An put all her energy into finding a wife for her son, Gu Tiezhu.

Besides relying on the matchmaker, Mrs. An also sought information herself. She was determined to find a suitable wife for her son.

She couldn’t believe it—if the matchmaker failed, could she not succeed if she did it herself?

Mrs. An was busy all day long, and at this moment, people from the gambling den suddenly came looking. Gu Tiezhu was particularly timid and was scared out of his wits at the sight of them.

He turned and ran but was still caught and thrown back by the people from the gambling den. Gu Tiezhu lay on the ground, trembling all over.

Considering that Gu Ya had asked his brothers to warn them, the tone of the people from the gambling den was still courteous.

Gu Tiezhu was scared out of his mind, repeatedly begging for mercy. To be honest, recently while recovering at home, Gu Tiezhu had been eating and drinking well. Every day, Mrs. An prepared meals and served them to him, so he had long forgotten about the silver he owed the gambling den. Last time, he was beaten by them quite severely, which now made him nervous at the very sight of them.

Afraid that they might do something to him!

This time, the people from the gambling den weren’t planning on harming Gu Tiezhu but merely found a job for him to scare him a bit, just to make him work honestly.

Of course, the money Gu Tiezhu earned would definitely have to be handed over to the gambling den. In essence, the gambling den wanted Gu Tiezhu to earn money to repay his debt to them.

The people from the gambling den were all tough. Had it not been for Gu Ya arranging with the gambling den on his behalf, they wouldn’t have bothered to find work for Gu Tiezhu.

According to the gambling den’s rules, if Gu Tiezhu couldn’t pay his debt, he’d have to repay it even if it meant stealing, robbing, or cheating. They didn’t care about the process as long as the gambling debt was paid off.

Now, in consideration of Gu Tiezhu’s third brother, the gambling den was exceptionally lenient with him.

Gu Tiezhu was always timid. After being scared by the gambling den, how could he dare not go and work to pay off the debt?

Meekly, he went to the job the gambling den found for him.

When Mrs. An heard her son was taken by the gambling den for work, she immediately wanted to ask her son Gu Ya for help.

Mrs. An complained to Gu Chengxiang, blaming Gu Ya. If Gu Ya had helped, would her son Gu Tiezhu need to work off his debt at the gambling den?

"Husband, don’t you think our third son is going a bit too far? He’s got so much money now, why doesn’t he just spend a little to help his younger brother pay off the silver? I heard their distillery makes in a day what others earn in a year. With so much money, why can’t they help their brother a bit? Hmph, I reckon it’s that woman Su who’s egging him on. In the past, the third son wouldn’t have ignored his own brother."

As Mrs. An spoke, she was about to find Gu Ya, "No, I must go find the third son and have him help his brother pay off that gambling debt."

Mrs. An was about to look for Gu Ya but was pulled back by Gu Chengxiang.

"Come on, dear, just give me a break! Can’t you see that the third son not helping his brother with the gambling debt is actually for his own good? It’s just you who spoil the fourth son too much. This time, it’s good for Tiezhu to learn a lesson so he won’t gamble again in the future."
