Chapter 199 Now is a special situation
Gu and his companions walked into the village and found that the village no longer had the peaceful feeling it had before. After a few steps in, he saw a lot of people fighting. He felt that he could not stay here for long.
So when the carriage arrived at Chai's house, he pulled his wife out of the carriage.
Chai had just seen the situation in the village. As soon as she entered the yard, she told her parents the purpose of her visit without waiting for them to speak.
"Move to your place? How can that be possible? What about our big family? No way, no way!" Grandpa Chai objected immediately after hearing this.
Although he was very satisfied with his son-in-law, he felt uncomfortable with so many people disturbing them.
"Dad, Mom, this is what Xiaoxi meant. She said that if grandpa and uncles don't come over today, she will come over to help you move tomorrow.
She said that the villages are in turmoil right now, and that if we all live together, we can look after each other." When Chai heard her father say this, she moved Xiaoxi out.
Sure enough, when he heard that it was his granddaughter's opinion, Mr. Chai's expression looked a little better.
"Dad, Mom, the village is in turmoil. We need to leave quickly." Gu He urged.
Old Mrs. Chai was so worried about her husband's health that she was so confused that she couldn't even find a doctor.
If Xiaoxi lived nearby, it would be different.
Without waiting for her husband to speak, she thought clearly and agreed: "Move, Xiaoxi is right, if we move together, we can take care of each other.
I heard that a lot of bandits have come down the mountain recently, and many nearby villages have suffered. We live together, so there's more of us, so we don't have to be so scared."
Hearing her mother say this, Daluo also felt that it was true. She looked at her father-in-law with anticipation.
Old Master Chai knew that his wife was worried about his health, but if she went there, it would also drag Xiaoxi down.
"Dad, what are you still hesitating about? Let's go!" Gu He didn't wait for the old man to say anything, he walked forward and carried the old man on his back and walked towards the door.
When Mrs. Chai saw that her son-in-law had started fighting, she ordered her grandson and eldest daughter-in-law to call the others back quickly.
The whole family had a lot of stuff and they couldn't move it all at once. Ying San asked them to pack up the stuff and put it in the yard. They and some of the stuff would go there first, and they would make another trip later.
The matter was decided so happily. Before noon, Ying San and Ying Si moved all of the Chai family's belongings to Gu An's yard.
After his elder brother and sister-in-law went out, Gu An took Dongming and Nanming to move their things here and cleared out the house.
In fact, Gu He's house is very spacious, with three large courtyards, which is enough to accommodate their entire family.
After moving into the new house, he went to his sixth uncle's house and explained the situation to him.
Grandpa Laoliu originally wanted to wait until his son and grandson recovered so that they could go hunting in the mountains after the winter. Now that this has happened, he is also worried.
Just at this time, Gu An extended an olive branch to them, and he agreed excitedly.
Because there were a lot of things to move, Gu An asked them to prepare them and pick them up by carriage after lunch.
After things were settled, he went home first.
At noon, the two families had a quick lunch. The Chai family moved the things off the carriage, and Ying San and Ying Si followed Gu An to Sixth Grandpa's house.
As for the old patriarch, Gu Xiaoxi went there after breakfast and expressed his thoughts.
At first, the old patriarch Gu was afraid of causing trouble to others and did not agree. Gu Xiaoxi said that in order to make people think that he was really sick, it would be more appropriate for him to live with her. Only then did he reluctantly agree.
However, they were unable to move that day, as the old patriarch Gu asked Gu Yuntian to spread the word that his condition had worsened.
They will move there after the position of clan leader is completely handed over to Gu Dayue.
Gu Xiaoxi knew that the old patriarch Gu didn't want to cause her trouble, so she stopped trying to persuade him.
…
The next morning, Gu Xiaoxi asked Yingsan and his third brother to drive a horse-drawn carriage to deliver the dried tofu to Mrs. Tan's store, and instructed them to buy a cart of food after delivering the dried tofu.
She delivered the wheelchairs made by her uncle to Dr. Luo's shop. After getting the money, she went to the bank and exchanged half of the 1,000 taels of silver into gold and the other half into silver and put them into the space.
After completing this task, she first went to the private school and told her eldest cousin Chai Zhixin about her grandfather's move. Then, like she did that day, she disguised herself and stockpiled food.
In addition, you also need to stock up on spices and soybeans so that you don’t run out of raw materials for making dried tofu.
When she returned, the carriage was filled with soybeans and spices, and all the food was stored in the space.
When she returned home, Gu Nanming and the others had also returned.
In the afternoon, Gu Xiaoxi took Ying San to the city again and brought back two large carts of food.
These foods were placed in the cellars of Gu Xiaoxi and Gu He's rooms respectively, so they didn't have to worry as long as they had food to eat.
On the third day, Grandpa Laoliu asked Gu Xiaoxi to bring some food back when he went out.
On the fourth day, Patriarch Gu and his family finally moved in.
When moving, Gu Yunfei, who was in the city, drove a horse-drawn carriage over to help.
He had already prepared food for his family. He first unloaded the food in Gu Ping's yard, and then he and Gu Xiaoxi drove two carriages to help.
They were two large families, and even with three carriages, it took them two trips to move all the things over.
The old patriarch was somewhat reluctant to take off the burden of being the patriarch, but he was still very happy to see that his family could live together in harmony.
"Gu Ping, thank you. Your yard is still new. You haven't lived here yourself, but you let us stay here. I feel so bad about this!" He held Gu Ping's hand and said with red eyes.
"Don't say that, this is a special case, so it deserves special treatment.
Xiaoxi said, "We're banding together for warmth. Even if we encounter bandits, we're not afraid." Gu Ping, unable to speak, repeated Xiaoxi's words.
"Yes, we should stick together for warmth. Unfortunately, many people don't understand the meaning of this sentence!" said the old patriarch Gu helplessly.
Seeing the old patriarch so emotional, Gu Xiaoxi comforted him, "You can't wake up someone who's pretending to be asleep, so why bother worrying about things that are not worth it?
Now that you are no longer the clan leader, you can do whatever you want, and no one will knock on your door in the middle of the night asking you to deal with household chores."
"That's true. Although this clan leader is not an official, he still has a lot of trivial matters to deal with." Old clan leader Gu thought about when he was young. There were people knocking on the door at home almost every night. At that time, his wife was pregnant, but those people didn't stop either.
"Yes, Dad, it will be much more peaceful this way." Gu Yuntian had long since stopped wanting his father to be the clan leader. Before, his father had intended to let him take over, but fortunately, his father had stepped down before that time came.
"Dad, what about Dayue?" Gu Yunhai was worried that Gu Dayue could not bear this burden, and his father would have to take over when the time comes. He was afraid that his father could not bear it.
