The people of Caojia Village were also afraid.
Many people were working at the village entrance at the time, and they were startled when they saw this group of people coming.
"Village chief, outsiders have arrived."
Immediately someone shouted for the village chief.
At this point, we should actually call him squad leader.
Several villages were combined to form a brigade.
Basically, the original village chief will become a squad leader.
The Red Flag Brigade did the same.
However, many people probably still habitually call him village chief.
Even if they are grouped into a large brigade or village by village, they will still form a small collective.
Sticking together for warmth is both a strength and a weakness of humankind.
Whether it's for self-preservation or to gang up on others, people always prefer to be in a large group.
Soon, an old man and his men blocked Gu Hanping's path.
"Old Gu, what's going on?"
Although the villagers may not know him well, as the village chief, he does recognize Gu Hanping, the brigade leader.
Besides, Gu Changbai often visited the Cao family. How could they not recognize each other after so many visits?
Gu Hanping's face darkened; he knew that barging in directly was out of the question.
He was about to speak.
Gu Yunyang stopped him. At this moment, Gu Hanping was in a bad mood and didn't have a nice tone.
Gu Yunyang felt it was best to try diplomacy first, then resort to force.
Immediately, Gu Yunyang stopped Gu Hanping, stepped forward, and said, "Uncle, my name is Gu Yunyang, and I am the brigade secretary of the Red Flag Brigade. We are not here to cause trouble today, but to find someone."
The village chief frowned: "Looking for someone? Is this how you look for someone?"
He quickly realized something and said, "I know your marriage to the Cao family is likely to fall through. But since it's a young person's matter, and divorce may not sound pleasant, then so be it. No one came knocking on the door, right?"
Several people from Caojia Village nearby also shouted, "Don't think that Caojia Village has no one to cause trouble. We Caojia Village are not to be trifled with."
Gu Hanping suppressed his temper, but Gu Yunyang still smiled and said slowly, "To be honest, we came here to see Cao Ying, but we didn't come here to see Cao Ying."
The village chief asked curiously, "What do you mean?"
Gu Yunyang said, "Before we talk about that, let's discuss some principles. Even if there's a divorce, shouldn't the child stay with the father's family? Besides, Cao Ying is the one at fault in the divorce. Village Chief, what do you think about this?"
Although the village chief found it strange, he nodded and said, "According to the situation here, if a couple gets divorced, the children will definitely stay with the man's family."
There's no logic to that.
According to ancient tradition, male offspring are responsible for carrying on the family line.
At most, they might let you take the girl with you, or they might not even let you take the girl with you.
To be realistic, a girl can start working and taking care of children after a few years of raising her.
If we raise them for a few more years, they can get married and we can earn a dowry.
Whether in rural areas or towns, girls of this era are basically raised in this way.
Therefore, although Gu Yunyang's words were rough, the village chief agreed with them.
He didn't see that several people in the village changed their expressions, wanting to speak but unable to get a word in edgewise.
Gu Yunyang knew that the other party might know something.
Gu Yunyang's first move was to undermine their internal structure. The village chief had already approved it, so Cao Ying and the Cao family couldn't possibly have that many excuses, could they?
At least when a conflict breaks out, Cao Ying won't have any villagers to help her.
At least the village chief won't side with her.
"But what does that have to do with your coming to our village today?"
"How can it be unrelated? People from our brigade saw Cao Ying go to the brigade today and bring Gao Yang back. I just want to ask, did she bring the child back for a meal, or is she planning something else?"
