Gu Yunyang stopped talking about those things and continued with the previous topic: "Several families in our brigade, including the one next to your house, the one next to Sanwazi's grandfather... have been clearing land on the mountain and secretly planting some sweet potatoes and corn."
Gu Yunyang immediately named many families in the brigade, pointing to Heizi and Heimei and saying, "They led me there. I saw them in the dark, but I didn't point it out. These days, although no one is allowed to take advantage of socialism..."
But everyone's family is poor, they don't have enough to eat. How could I point that out?
There are indeed policies in place.
But when they got down there, everyone was starving.
They secretly went up the mountain to clear wasteland and plant some grain, not for speculation, but just for their own consumption.
What else could Gu Yunyang say?
Gu Hanping couldn't say anything either.
Even if you ask him to report it, he won't do it.
Gu Hanping pondered, "I really didn't expect that so many families in the brigade had secretly reclaimed land."
In reality, these families weren't completely unaware of each other's affairs.
I just subconsciously didn't delve into it.
Everyone did this kind of thing, and if you get caught, you'll be sent to a farm.
No one dared to report others, for fear of getting into trouble themselves.
Gu Hanping hesitated for a moment before finally saying dejectedly, "You're right, a person who doesn't plan for the future will have trouble in the present. Since last year, this drought has been hanging over us. Even if I don't think about myself, I have to think about my children and my grandchildren."
Gu Yunyang warned, "You absolutely mustn't let your eldest daughter-in-law find out."
That Cao Ying is not someone to be trifled with.
If word gets out and the Cao family finds out...
This time, Gu Yunyang punished him with 500 jin of sweet potatoes.
The Cao family must hold a grudge.
The Cao family had no affection for the Gu family as a marriage partner; their only thought was to take advantage of them.
Gu Yunyang should remind him more.
Gu Hanping let out a breath and sighed.
He thought to himself: What a misfortune for our family.
Thinking back to the time when he had to agree to his eldest son's request to marry Cao Ying, he never got back a single penny of the dowry he had given.
The frustration I feel is indescribable.
If it weren't for the fact that she had already given birth to grandchildren, Gu Hanping would have really considered sending Cao Ying back to her parents' home.
Gu Yunyang neither confirmed nor denied the matter.
These are all Gu Hanping's family matters, especially since they involve Gu Changbai's marriage. He has never acknowledged the Gu family.
Even if you acknowledge this relationship as family, it's not easy to bring up this kind of thing too much.
After saying a few words, Gu Hanping went to continue making arrangements.
Gu Yunyang took leave in the afternoon and went into the mountains with Hei Zi and Hei Mei.
Along the way, the two black dogs were running like crazy.
Gu Yunyang thought for a moment, since they were already deep in the mountains, he might as well summon the Desolate Beast and let it run around on the mountain.
Although it had many vines and thorns on its body, these were no problem for the wild horse.
Gu Yunyang himself had no intention of using the Death Runner; he didn't want to get scratched by the thorns.
Jedi seemed somewhat disappointed, but he kicked up a lot of dirt on the ground.
Then he started running.
Gu Yunyang was also fast on his feet, and soon he had crossed the two hills.
"That's about it. We'll climb one more mountain and find a suitable place. Once we get the housekeeping robot out, we can acquire a few more plots of land, but not too big, so we don't get discovered."
