Chapter 963: Facing the shameless Beijing gossip man: Draw the knife!

Locking the door and coming out of the courtyard, Li Long stood at the agreed place and waited for a short while, then saw Gu Xiao Yu rushing over with a cloth bag slung over her shoulder.

When she saw Li Long, Gu Xiao Yu had a smile on her face, walked a few steps quickly to Li Long, and said:

"Brother-in-law, congratulations, this is a national-level honor, it's really amazing!"

As she said that, she stretched out both hands. Li Long was still a bit slow to react, and then he shook hands with Gu Xiao Yu, and then hurriedly let go.

"Haven't eaten yet, right? Let's go, I'll treat you to a meal, and chat about recent things by the way." Li Long said, "You are more familiar with the neighborhood, where do you see to eat?"

"Let's go to that Wang Family Dumpling Restaurant over there." Gu Xiao Yu said, "Shandong dumplings, the taste is very good, our colleagues often eat there."

"Okay." Li Long walked in that direction, walked a few steps before reacting, Gu Xiao Yu was a girl and walked slowly, so he slowed down his pace, and after Gu Xiao Yu caught up, he kept a distance of one meter from her and asked about family life.

"It's okay, it's quite fulfilling. There isn't much work in our school, and when I'm free, I run to the courtyard... Brother-in-law, don't worry, it's not just these three courtyards, but also my own small courtyard. To tell the truth, after having my own small courtyard, I really want to buy everything I see."

Gu Xiao Yu might not chat much with colleagues in the unit, and had no one to talk to at home, so after seeing Li Long, her mouth didn't stop. From buying the courtyard to buying things, to the placement of items at home, anyway, she was very attentive.

"Have you moved into your courtyard?" Li Long looked up and saw the sign of the Wang Family Dumpling Restaurant, which was less than fifty meters away. There were people coming in and out, and the business should be good, so he continued to ask.

"Hmm, not living there every day. If the unit is busy, I still live in the unit dormitory, anyway, the dormitory still keeps a place for me." Gu Xiao Yu said, "Originally I thought about buying a house in our unit, but I asked around, and no one was selling it at all, so I just sold it outside. Fortunately, it's not very far."

Li Long also told Gu Xiao Yu about Gu Bo Yuan and Gu Gu Xiaoxia, and Gu Xiao Yu listened very seriously.

Just as they were about to reach the entrance of the dumpling restaurant, Li Long stopped, took out an envelope from his bag and handed it to Gu Xiao Yu, saying:

"I will find a renovation team to renovate all three courtyards in the next day or two. Why don't you renovate that small courtyard together. You take this money, and after the renovation is finished, I have to trouble you to tidy up the inside again, and see what needs to be added..."

"No, no, brother-in-law, the money you remitted last time hasn't been used up yet. Everything bought in this courtyard is from the commission store, it doesn't cost much money..."

The two were pushing and yielding here, just as two young men walked out of the dumpling restaurant. One of them was stunned after seeing Gu Xiao Yu, looked at Li Long again, and then a look of sudden realization appeared on his face, then he sneered twice, and walked over with his companion.

When they were about to bump into Li Long and the others, the young man "hummed" and said to Gu Xiao Yu:

"Gu Xiao Yu, so you are such a person! Hmph, I was blind!"

As soon as Gu Xiao Yu heard this, she knew that this man had misunderstood. She bit her lips tightly, her face turned pale, and tears were swirling in her eye sockets, but she held back and didn't let them flow out.

Li Long sighed secretly. It seems that Gu Xiao Yu grew up in such a family environment and only learned to tolerate—or was used to tolerating, not like her sister at all. Gu Gu Xiaoxia looked weak, but if she encountered such a thing, she would definitely fight back!

"Did he pursue you?" Li Long asked.

The young man had already walked forward with his colleague.

Li Long could hear the two whispering, anyway, it wasn't anything good.

"Hmm, and he knew I bought a courtyard. I don't know where he found out, and then he came to me and said he wanted to buy these few courtyards. I didn't agree, and he..."

Gu Xiao Yu couldn't go on.

"You go in and order dumplings first, I'll go and 'explain' to him." Li Long smiled, "The misunderstanding was caused by me, I'll explain it."

"No need, brother-in-law, he won't listen..." Gu Xiao Yu shook her head, "This person is stubborn... no, a bit paranoid."

"Don't worry, I am relatively good at dealing with such people. In the past two days in Maxian, I have 'explained' to many such people..." Li Long smiled.

At that moment, Gu Xiao Yu felt a bit cold, as if there was murderous intent!

Li Long stuffed the envelope into Gu Xiao Yu's hand, and then strode to catch up.

The young man happened to separate from his friend, turned his head and looked at Gu Xiao Yu again, thinking about how to spread this matter tomorrow—Gu Xiao Yu has only worked for one year, how could she have money to buy a courtyard, and several courtyards at that?

The biggest possibility is that she was kept by someone and became a broken shoe (slang for a promiscuous woman)!

As long as this gossip is spread, see who will dare to pursue her and dare to marry her in the future?

Then he saw Li Long striding over.

This person was startled, what's the situation? What does this person want to do?

Just as he wanted to hide, Li Long had already walked to the front, and then stretched out his arm and hugged him.

Gu Xiao Yu, who hadn't entered the door, turned her head and took a look, just seeing Li Long hugging her colleague.

However, because Li Long was too tall and the young man was a bit weak, this hug was like a gorilla hugging a small jackal—more like a threat?

Gu Xiao Yu felt a sense of peace for no reason, put the envelope into her cloth bag, and went in to order dumplings.

"What do you want to do?" The young man shouted with a fierce look, "There is a police station over there, as long as I shout, they will come over!"

"Shout for them to come over and say you slandered a female colleague?" Li Long looked at him with contempt, "Do you want me to repeat what you just said? As long as you call your friend to the side and interrogate him now, the words you just said will be easily asked out. If you put these words to your leaders tomorrow, what do you think will happen?"

The young man's face turned pale and white, he naturally knew what the result would be.

Gu Xiao Yu works seriously and responsibly, and is almost praised by everyone in the teaching and research office. Although she is not a backbone, she is being cultivated as a backbone. Now if the leader knows that he slandered Gu Xiao Yu, only he will be unlucky.

These words can be spread privately, but if the source is known to the leader, the trouble will be big.

"You... what do you want?"

"I don't want anything. Although I really want to humanely destroy scum like you as garbage..." Li Long deliberately revealed the handle of the short knife he had just taken out of his bag, "I'm not afraid to tell you, I came from Northern Xinjiang, we have a quota for killing people there!

Even here, killing one or two people is nothing to me... It's just for Xiao Yu's sake that I let you go, but if I know you dare to harass her again, or if there are rumors about her in your unit, then just wait for me to execute you!"

As he said that, Li Long pulled out the knife and wiped it on the young man's neck with the back of the knife.

The cold blade stuck to his neck, and the young man was so scared that he peed on the spot!

"Did you hear clearly? Tomorrow morning, go and apologize to Gu Xiao Yu, and then watch your mouth! Understand?"

Li Long didn't expect this guy to be so easily scared. He took back the knife, inserted it into the scabbard, and warned him a few more times. After seeing the young man nodding and agreeing repeatedly, he turned and left.

The quota for killing people was a joke heard in later generations, including riding horses, riding camels to school, learning to make naan in class, learning to roast whole sheep, etc.

It's quite interesting to use it now.

Walking back to the dumpling restaurant, Li Long saw Gu Xiao Yu already sitting at a table, wiping the table with paper.

"Alright, this matter is solved." Li Long said to her, "I 'explained' it clearly to him."

"Hmm, that's good." Gu Xiao Yu knew that Li Long must have used non-normal explanation methods, but she didn't ask specifically what it was, but said:

"Brother-in-law, I ordered seventy pork and cabbage dumplings, fifty are yours, and twenty are mine."

At this time, people's appetite is relatively large, and Li Long barely ate fifty dumplings to be full. However, it's evening, so it's fine to eat like this. He asked Gu Xiao Yu: "Are twenty dumplings enough for you?"

"Enough." Gu Xiao Yu smiled, "There is also dumpling soup."

Alright, follow the host's convenience.

Soon, two large plates of dumplings were served. Li Long had already prepared the dipping sauce, and he wasn't polite either. He picked one up, dipped it, and ate it.

Not bad, thin skin and big filling, and there is soup, the taste is very good.

Watching Li Long eat continuously, Gu Xiao Yu smiled and ate elegantly. The two almost finished eating at the same time, then drank soup, and finally left—the money was paid at the beginning.

"Tomorrow I will prepare for the renovation, you go to your work, anyway, I will be turning around in these three courtyards. If you have anything, you can find me here. If you can't find me, then it's at the Beijing office of the Northern Xinjiang Autonomous Region Ethnic Affairs Committee. This is the address." Li Long said, "Also, I brought a few knives this time, I'll leave a few for you as gifts." ===== CHAPTER 964 =====
