Chapter 9 9. Please collect and recommend

Although they separated as soon as they got married, except for two acres of land and a dilapidated thatched hut, the couple had to add everything else slowly by themselves.

The couple was unlucky. They had not yet accumulated any wealth before they had suffered such hardship.

Along the way, they didn't see any of their brothers offering a helping hand to the couple.

Gu Laoqi and the other two were very honest. They were so hungry that their bones were just skin and bones, but they never asked anyone else for help.

Now seeing Gu Jin being scolded by her mother-in-law, she couldn't help but have some sympathy in her eyes.

The young wife must be almost unable to hold on, otherwise she wouldn't lean on her man in front of outsiders.

"Sister-in-law, let's find a good place to rest first. Otherwise, it won't be possible to find firewood when it gets dark." The fourth aunt from the next room reminded Li Cuicui of Gu Li.

Li Cuicui glared at Jin Qianqian fiercely, and began to give orders to the other daughters-in-law, asking them to clean up the place where they would rest tonight.

"Second sister-in-law, the Jin family is getting bolder and bolder. The couple actually hugged each other like this in public. I feel embarrassed for them." Li Xiaohua, the third son's wife, curled her lips in disdain.

Wang Caiyue didn't even raise her eyes. "Let them be! We don't know if our lives can reach the capital. What's the point of worrying about it now? Can it be eaten or drunk?"

"Who said it wasn't?" Liu Liu threw the stones on the ground to the side. Everyone would have to sleep on the ground soon. If they didn't clear up these stones, they would get backaches and it would be difficult to travel tomorrow.

Everyone knows each other now, and no one dared to speak to Lao Qi and his wife along the way, for fear that they would come up to them and ask for food.

He glanced at Jin Qianqian and found that she was now slumped on the ground, with a hint of sympathy in her eyes.

However, this sympathy was not enough for her to donate her own family's food rations for relief. She heard that the journey was still long and her life was already in a mess, so she should just take care of herself first.

Hong Daya cleaned up the place where she was resting, thought for a moment, and then cleaned up the place next to it. "Qianqian, I'll help you clean up here. You can spread the bedding here later."

"Thank you, Fifth Sister-in-law." Jin Qianqian thanked her sincerely. She really didn't want to move at all.

Gu Wenheng also nodded gratefully towards Hong Daya, spread the blanket on her back, and helped Jin Qianqian to lie down. "You take a rest first, I'll take care of the rest."

Jin Qianqian was so tired that she couldn't even lift her hands. She blinked twice and fell into darkness.

Gu Wenheng covered her with a small blanket and waved to his nephew Gu Leshun, "You and your seventh aunt can rest here. Uncle Seven will treat you to some candy."

Gu Leshun looked at Gu Wenheng expectantly and licked his lips, "Really?"

"Seventh Uncle won't lie to you. Just stay here and don't run around." Gu Wenheng squatted down and touched his nephew's head. He felt a little sorry for the child who had to endure such hardship at such a young age.

Anyway, he has the confidence given by Jin Qianqian. Although he doesn't know how much wealth that girl has, she is still a support.

Besides, this girl just stuffed some beef jerky and dried milk tablets into her cloth bag to replenish her energy. Using dried milk tablets to coax the child is perfect!

Thinking of this, he quickly stuffed a piece of dry milk into the child's mouth, and reminded him, "Hold it in your mouth, don't swallow it."

Gu Leshun pursed his lips, and a milky aroma spread across his cheeks, along with a hint of sweetness that made his eyes sparkle.

Gu Wenheng smiled, "Just wait here obediently, and I'll give you another one when Uncle Seven comes back."

Gu Leshun nodded obediently. Even if he wanted to run around, his parents would not agree. Besides, he would definitely not run around since he was here with Aunt Seven and could get candies.

Gu Wenheng looked up and found that the other brothers had already gone to look for firewood and wild vegetables. He quickly took off all the things on his body. It was already autumn now, and if there was no firewood at night, the human body would not be able to withstand it.

Li Cuicui didn't expect that when she turned around, she saw the seventh brother's wife lying on the ground. She was furious. She had never seen such a lazy woman. No wonder her life was getting more and more difficult.

At this time, she completely forgot that each of her sons only received a small amount of food rations after moving out of the family, and these seven sons had not had time to save up any assets.

"Old lady, please don't go over and cause trouble." Gu Dashi stopped her. "The seventh wife's face has not been good these days. Their food has been reduced again and again. In addition, they have been traveling for these days, so they may not be able to hold out for much longer."

"No way?" Li Cuicui was panicked. "Didn't I send them some wild vegetable balls at noon? Could it be that these two idiots didn't eat them?"

"Who knows?" Gu Dashi was also panicked. There were fewer people in this team every day. Could it be that it was his family's turn this time?

Li Cuicui no longer had the anger she had before. She looked at Jin Qianqian with a complicated look in her eyes. She hoped that Jin Qianqian could hold on, but she was also afraid that she would drag down her son.

"Let's light the fire first, then soak a ball of wild vegetables and give her a small bite to see if that can wake her up." Gu Dashi was sorting out his belongings, but in his mind he was planning to eat a few less bites later.

"Oh," Li Cuicui sighed, and finally said nothing. However, when she was doing things, she paid special attention to Jin Qianqian, fearing that her daughter-in-law would not be able to breathe well and her son would become a widower.

In this dry land, it is not difficult to find food, but if you want to find firewood, you can grab plenty of it.

Gu Wenheng didn't walk far before he walked back with difficulty, carrying a large bundle of firewood.

"Seventh Brother, put the dry firewood aside first. Let's go inside and see if we can find some wild vegetables." The eldest brother Gu Yuanjin and several other brothers called him.

Gu Yuanmu also took the dry firewood from his hand and threw it together with some surprise, "Usually you are the most active in finding wild vegetables, but you are a little abnormal today."

Gu Wenheng felt a little guilty, but he quickly found a reason, "Jin's body can't take it, I'm a little worried."

The other brothers were silent, but no one asked for support. Finally, Gu Yuanlei said dryly, "Then let's go find more wild vegetables and make more wild vegetable soup for my sister-in-law."

Gu Wenheng followed the memory in his mind and said without much words, "Then let's go quickly and come back quickly."

The brothers in the family actually felt a bit gloomy about the fact that he was able to attend private school for a few years. Although they did not have to pay tuition, all the work at home fell on their shoulders.

They are all from the same farming family, why is it that only the seventh brother gets this opportunity?
