The loud voice of the chunky businessman attracted the attention of many people, especially at this special stage, and the news spread in the city of Corsi not long after.
In the streets and alleys, whether it is women, they are chatting and discussing.
In the tavern, Gordon raised his head and slammed a bottle of beer into his mouth. He was a well-known blacksmith in Corsi City, and he has been doing this in Corsi City for three generations.
After he learned that the Earl of Green where he belonged was defeated, he was in a bad mood, and the merchants from the Viscount Griffin dared to shout in the street the so-called "Long live the Viscount!" But he was not punished, and his mood became even more depressed.
In the 40 or 50 years he has lived in Corsi City, when has he seen the Earl of Green be so angry?
Especially after hearing the chatter of those people in the tavern, my mood became even more irritable.
"Have you heard? The war between the Viscount Griffin and us on the other side didn't hurt anyone... This is too outrageous."
"Not only that, I tell you, their lord also personally went into battle and killed two gold-level knights..."
"My God! A gold-level knight, doesn't he have to have the strength of a great knight?"
"No, I heard that he is a noble magician."
"Stop talking about it, I'll tell you something interesting, my neighbor Lu Xiu came back and found out that his wife was actually four or five months pregnant, hahahaha!"
"Ah? Didn't your neighbor go to the iron mine to mine? Don't they come back once a year? Why did they come back all of a sudden?"
"I don't know about that, but he was very miserable. He sent home all the money he earned in the mine. He didn't expect to come back with an extra hat..."
"I know this! I just came back from another territory, and we won't let it pass here. I'll tell you secretly, don't say it out."
"Let's talk, you've always known that we are the strictest."
"After our Earl of Green fought the battle with the opponent, we lost so badly that we paid the opponent for the few pieces of minerals. In the end, it seems that we paid 200,000 gold coins to others."
"My God! Two hundred thousand gold coins can't be spent in a lifetime!"
"200,000 gold coins, I never dared to think like that in my dreams."
"Sorry, don't talk about this, let's talk about your neighbors. Those are too far away from us. I'm still interested in this."
"Come on, come on, come on, that happened yesterday..."
"Crack!" Gordon slapped the glass on the table forcefully, and the voices of the surrounding discussions were reduced, and they turned their heads to look over.
"This is wine money..."
Gordon threw a few silver coins to the wine table with an ugly face, then stumbled to his feet, pushed open the door of the pub and walked out.
After leaving the pub, the refreshing evening wind blew on his face, Gordon rubbed his face forcefully, and after sobering himself up, he walked towards the home.
...
"came back!"
Gordon had just pushed the door and entered the house when he heard his wife complaining.
"Where have you been all day, and there are no customers in the store to find you."
Gordon ignored his wife's complaints, and he was used to it over the years, leaning on the wall and continuing to walk in.
A six- or seven-year-old girl and a ten-year-old boy walked over. The boy stood still, and the girl ran over with a smile and open arms.
"Dad, hug!"
"Hee hee." Seeing his lovely daughter, Gordon also smiled happily, picked her up and rubbed her pink face with his beard.
"Hee hee, don't stab me, Dad, it's so itchy." The little girl struggled in Gordon's arms, looking happy.
The wife also came over from the kitchen at this time. Before she could get close to Gordon, she smelled the alcohol emanating from the other party's body. She frowned immediately and snatched her daughter from Gordon's arms.
"Why are you still holding Bev after drinking?" After putting her daughter back on the ground, the wife continued to nag, "Why are you drinking again? Didn't I tell you to drink less, Bev in a few days? She has to go to school too, save some money for her tuition!"
Gordon nodded helplessly and replied, "I know."
"Every time I say you, you say you know it, you know it, and you will change it when I see you."
Gordon had to nod again and again, accepting his wife's "scolding", but he knew in his heart that his wife was just a broken mouth. In fact, she was a rare good wife. come to work.
"Mom, don't talk about dad, he will definitely change." The little boy standing beside him said, and the little girl hesitantly wanted to defend her dad.
"Okay, let's not talk about it." The wife looked at her two children dotingly, and finally gave her husband a blank look.
"The food is ready, hurry up and get rid of your alcohol smell, and then have dinner together."
Gordon smiled and greeted his two children to wait at the dining table, while he went to wash up first.
...
Food was already on the table, and Gordon's hand froze when he took up his knife and fork when he took his place.
Looking at his wife, he said in a bad tone: "What's going on? Why is there only one meat dish? When did we become so poor?"
His wife didn't admit it at all, and went back directly.
"Didn't I tell you just now! Bev is going to school, so you can't get dim sum! We have to save some money to pay her tuition! We can't let them both know the same big characters as us, right? Or do you want them to be a blacksmith just like you!"
Gordon weakened and muttered, "What's wrong with being a blacksmith."
However, he still used a knife and fork to divide the steak into three parts, two large pieces were given to the children, and the remaining smaller piece was given to his wife.
"Eat, I'll work hard these days."
Bev showed a happy smile and waved her small fist at Gordon, "Come on, Dad!"
Gordon also smiled heartily and touched her little head, "Eat well, only then can you grow taller."
The wife stabbed the piece of meat on her plate with a knife and fork and put it back on Gordon's plate, "You need to work hard, you should eat this piece of meat."
At this moment, the little boy suddenly raised his head and hesitantly said: "Dad, I have to spend more than ten gold coins every semester to go to school. If I don't go to school, the expenses at home will not be that much... and you see Fen Uncle En, he is also a famous blacksmith~www.mtlnovel.com~ You are not as good as your father, and his son didn't go to school, so family life is much better than ours..."
"Crack!" Gordon slapped his son directly on the back of the head and said, "What are you talking about! The book must be read to me! Although I don't know a few words, I know that people who can read can have Even more promising! Our family is not so poor that we can't afford your schooling!"
The wife quickly patted Gordon's hand away, hugged the boy's head and patted it, then turned her head and shouted, "Just say it, why are you beating the child!"
Gordon retracted his palm and snorted, "Humph! Just protect him."
After rubbing the back of her child's head and finding that there was no injury, Gordon's wife returned to her seat, picked out a few foods in front of her, with a hesitant expression, and looked up at her opposite husband from time to time.
Seeing his wife's expression, Gordon inexplicably remembered the chatter of those people he heard in the tavern today. He frowned and asked, "Do you have something to tell me from time to time?"
"Uh..." The wife pulled her hair back to her ear, "I really have something I want to talk to you about."
When Gordon heard this, the food in his mouth became fragrant in an instant, and he put down the knife and fork, "Tell me, I can bear it."
"I heard from others that the lord of the Viscount Griffin is recruiting some blacksmiths and other talents, and the price given is higher than ours. Can we consider moving there?"
