Chapter 69 70. Discussion

Speaking of children, Jin Qianqian is not blind. She probably thinks that the fourth sister-in-law's family is the best at hiding things. Look at the two children in her family. Although their lips are a little dry, they are not cracked yet. Especially Gu Lehua, her lips are still moisturized.

"Fourth sister-in-law, don't forget that we brought this water back, we can give it to whoever we want.

Besides, although we are elders, there are always some people who are close to us. When my husband and I were in the most difficult time, I didn't see you reaching out to us!"

After Jin Qianqian finished speaking, she ignored them and stood up and walked to Gu Wenheng's side, "Husband, Fourth Sister-in-law said that I am biased."

Liu Liu, "..."

Other people standing aside and watching the excitement, "..."

Gu Wenheng, "It's fine if you are partial to me. As long as you are partial to me, you don't need to care about others."

The Gu brothers: "..." How come the old couple have changed so much after just a few days of not seeing each other?

"Seventh Brother, you're finally back." At this time, Li Cuicui also rushed in with a bag of grass roots, pushing through the crowd.

"Mom, where did you go just now?" Gu Wenheng supported her and found that the old lady had not changed much. He felt a little relieved.

"Mom is going to look for grass roots. You must be thirsty. Chew a few first." Li Cuicui said as she took out the cleaner ones on the top and put some into the hands of Gu Wenheng and Jin Qianqian respectively.

Gu Wenheng smiled and picked up one and put it in his mouth. He chewed it and some juice actually flowed into his mouth.

Jin Qianqian took a few bites and said, "Mom, this grass root you found is really juicy and has a light sweet taste. It's really good."

"Right? So we old folks have experience in these matters. This is a new variety I just discovered today. It just takes a little more effort to dig it out." Li Cuicui said with some complacency.

Gu Wenheng and Jin Qianqian stopped chewing at the same time. It was not right for them to continue chewing or not. Was it really okay to eat casually like this?

"Mom, Lao Qi and the others don't care about these grass roots now. Look at the other bamboo tubes on their waists. They are not short of water." Seeing that Liu Liu didn't say anything, Li Xiaohua simply did it herself.

Jin Qianqian took the opportunity to spit the grass roots in her mouth into her palm, "Mom, my third sister-in-law only knows one thing, but not the other. Although we found water, we are really short of food along the way. We are also hoping to use this water to exchange for some life-saving food from everyone, so that we can hold on for a while longer.

But I have prepared everything for you, old man, and I can’t leave you out.”

Li Cuicui glanced at Li Xiaohua, thinking that she didn't know that her daughter-in-law was just trying to cause trouble. Old Seven and the others hadn't spoken yet, and she seemed so powerful.

"You found water. Where did you find it?" Gu Sanbu also came to them at this time and asked impatiently.

Gu Wenheng didn't want to repeat the same thing over and over again. "Third Grandpa, I just happen to have something important to tell you. Can we find a quiet place to discuss it?"

Gu Sanbu glanced at the scene and found that there were many unfamiliar people staring at the side. He reached out and grabbed Gu Wenheng's wrist, "Come on, Third Grandpa will take you to meet the other village heads. It's a good opportunity to talk about what you have seen and heard these days."

With his old arms and legs, Gu Wenheng didn't dare to struggle, and he didn't forget to turn around and tell Jin Qianqian, "Qianqian, you stay with mother, I'll be back soon."

Jin Qianqian knew some of the bad habits of the people of this dynasty. When discussing matters, they generally would not allow women to be present.

Jin Qianqian didn't want to join in the fun and attract some gossip, so she simply supported Li Cuicui and said, "Mom, how is my dad? Is his wound better?"

Li Cuicui, "It's still the same, but at least my life was saved."

You have to know that these days, because of the previous injuries that were not treated, either they are dead or they are suffering from great pain every day.

Gu Dashi also became much quieter and carefully looked at his wound every day, fearing that it would get infected.

I don’t know if it was because of good luck or my strong body, but the wound healed very well.

I had no idea that Gu Dashi’s strong recovery ability was thanks to the anti-inflammatory medicine contributed by Jin Qianqian.

"Okay, everyone disperse. What are you doing here?" Li Cuicui drove everyone away.

"Sister Dashi, let your wife tell us what she has experienced these days. If you know where there is water, don't forget us fellow villagers." Gu Dafa's wife, Gu He, has always been at odds with Li Cuicui, so naturally she had to seize this opportunity to make things difficult for her.

Li Cuicui, "My wife has been with her husband these days, what do I need to tell you?

If there is something, my seventh brother will discuss it with the village head and clan leader. Who do you think you are?"

After saying that, he didn't have the heart to appreciate the other person's angry look. He pulled Jin Qianqian to turn the picture and left.

"Look how realistic our mother-in-law is. Now she only has the seventh son's wife in her heart and eyes." Li Xiaohua said sourly. You know, she used to be from the same village as her mother-in-law, and they had the same ancestors after all, but she had never seen her mother-in-law be so kind to her.

"So what?" Liu Liu snorted coldly, "It's because the young couple has water now. When the youngest comes back, their hearts will be biased again. They won't get anything good."

"Youngest?" Li Xiaohua looked at the Lan family's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law who were also standing in the crowd and pointed her finger. "As long as you don't break up with that family, the mother-in-law won't be as easy to talk to as before."

…

Gu Wenheng picked and chose and briefly recounted some of their experiences in the mountains. Of course, this was excluding Jin Qianqian's rich harvest along the way.

"Is that place really as good as you say?" He Caogen couldn't help licking his lips. That was a lake of water. If it was true, then they really wouldn't have to worry about water anymore.

"But that place is not a place to stay for long. Not to mention that it is remote, it will take two or three days to get there. Didn't Gu Yuanyu just say that the place is not suitable for farming. It is mostly mountainous. Even if we bring enough food, we can't hold out for long.

Besides, we are running out of food now, so we need to discuss how to choose. "Village Chief Shi was against it in his heart. It was so remote, if the emperor sent people to provide disaster relief, wouldn't we miss it?

Gu Sanbu had obviously thought of this as well, and the confusion on his face showed.

“If it doesn’t work, we can send someone to fetch water. Even if it takes a little longer to go back and forth, at least we will get something.

Besides, there must be a lot of wild vegetables near water sources, which can more or less make up for the shortage."

Village Chief Li, "But don't forget the wolves and hyenas we encountered before. Do you think there won't be other beasts in the mountains? Can we really resist them?"
