Chapter 25: The Alliance's Conspiracy
As soon as the alliance meeting ended, the Gu siblings quickened their pace and rushed back.
Since there were so many people and it was the first meeting, the discussion was very heated. There were many things that needed to be determined, but the efficiency was not high.
There was also the so-called mobilization meeting, where the three new commanders each gave a long speech.
It's long and boring, and most of it is nonsense complaining about the housekeeping department.
By the time it was over, it was dark outside...
Normally, the dinner time agreed upon by the brother and sister and Mu Jiu was usually around 5:30 in the afternoon.
It was almost seven o'clock.
When the Gu siblings arrived at the gate of the villa where they lived, Mu Jiu on the opposite side just opened the door and walked out, carrying a lot of things in his hands.
"Today I researched and made a rose-scented milk tea. It tasted good, so I brought it over for you to try!"
Seeing this, the brother and sister hurriedly helped their sister take the things in her hands, and then the three of them followed into villa 048.
A burst of heat came towards me.
In the center of the lobby of Villa 048, there stands a 40cm high fire pit shaped like a well.
Some time ago, Gu Yang found some large stones from the mountains. After careful polishing, he built a small round pit with a diameter of one meter.
Just like all the fireplaces in Mu Jiu's house are always lit, the fire here will never go out from morning to night every day.
Even when the two siblings went out, they would put enough firewood inside to keep the fire burning.
This not only keeps the room warm, but also keeps the beds, bedding and floors dry, making the body more comfortable and less likely to get sick.
"Sister, today the people living in the villas at the hot spring resort have officially formed their own counterattack alliance, specifically to fight against the people from the housekeeping department!"
Gu Yang was obviously very excited, and then he scratched the back of his head and said:
"Just as Sister expected, they really tried their best to nominate me as the commander-in-chief because of Sister.
The purpose was too obvious, so I strongly refused the position so as not to cause trouble for my sister.
The commander-in-chief finally chosen was the person who organized the rally, named Lu Ming, who was about 30 years old.
We didn't have much interaction before, but since he was able to organize everyone, I think this person must be quite capable.
However, the uncle who lived in the building next to my sister, named Lou Zheng, was elected as the deputy commander of the alliance.
Regarding this, I have to apologize to my sister first!
I'm sorry, because I spoke too quickly, that uncle might come to see my sister..."
"It doesn't matter. He can talk to me whatever he wants. I won't pay any attention to him." Mu Jiu said calmly.
After all, after watching the whole thing, it was indeed not Gu Yang's fault. It was the uncle next door who instigated it.
I originally had some good feelings towards that family because of the kindness of the little girl next door and her mother, but now all my feelings have been shattered by this father and son.
"After four or five hours of meetings, have you discussed when and how to counterattack?" Mu Jiu asked casually.
Gu Nuan immediately replied: "Sister, I don't know, they are all old stubborn people with very rigid ideas!
In the afternoon, apart from electing the commander of the alliance, the rest of the time was almost entirely spent complaining about the evil deeds done by the people in the housekeeping department, and in the end no results were discussed.
It doesn't look like forming a counterattack alliance, but more like holding a complaining conference, which is a waste of time and energy.
It would be better for me to go up the mountain and chop some firewood to burn!
The key is that the alliance requires everyone to gather every three days, and still meet on the mountain. I hope the next gathering will not be as noisy and trivial as today!"
However, on the third day after Gu Nuan finished her complaints, the second official meeting of the Counterattack Alliance was still a gathering of complaints...
Furthermore, the three commanders came up with an outrageous proposal.
All families participating in the Counterattack Alliance are required to hand over half of their supplies to the alliance.
The alliance will collect and redistribute these supplies to resolve the dilemma of villas within the alliance running out of food.
In the name of mutual help, it is conducive to enhancing the cohesion of people within the alliance!
Then, several families asked to withdraw from the Counterattack Alliance on the spot!
Damn it, they showed their intention to make money from the very beginning. How is this different from the housekeeping department collecting protection fees?
After all, the housekeeping department is like a blunt knife cutting meat. It will slowly take away your food and supplies a little bit every day.
But the Alliance asked for half of the total supplies right away! Even robbery is not so dignified.
The Gu brother and sister sat there without moving. Apart from the mountain of frozen fish, their family only had some mountain products picked from the mountains. They were penniless!
The three commanders saw everyone's reaction and were not in a hurry to keep them.
Those who frankly expressed their willingness to support the alliance and fight back together to get rid of the Housekeeping Department will stay, and those who want to continue to live under the Housekeeping Department can do so!
In a short while, nearly 20 people left, leaving about 60 people.
The meeting continued, and everyone was still complaining. No one could come up with the key issue of how the alliance should fight back against the Housekeeping Department.
Gu Nuan couldn't stand it anymore and wanted to leave, but was stopped by Gu Yang.
Gu Yang whispered to Gu Nuan, "Guess why the commander and his men made such a move?"
"Isn't it to share everyone's supplies?" Gu Nuan didn't understand what her brother meant.
"Think about it again. Who are the people who left in anger after hearing this news?"
"Are you unwilling to be exploited?" Gu Nuan asked.
"Silly sister, you are the one with abundant supplies at home! If there were only a few supplies left at home, why would you be afraid of dividing the supplies equally?" Gu Yang analyzed.
"So what you mean is that the commanding trio did this on purpose, hoping that the people with supplies would come forward, and then..."
Gu Nuan suddenly covered her mouth, thinking carefully, what on earth did they want to do?
“Well, those who leave will be considered to have quit the alliance in front of everyone in the alliance.
Then if the trio of commanders wanted to get rid of people outside the alliance, there would be no opposition or questioning.
The inheritance of those people can naturally be added to the alliance's account, and everyone benefits, killing two birds with one stone." Gu Yang explained.
So in other words, this counterattack alliance is a Hongmen Banquet from which there is no return.
It was just under the pretext of counterattacking the housekeeping department, but in reality it was to set up a new camp and fight against the housekeeping department...
Once there is a chance to kill the Stewardship Department, the Alliance will be the next Stewardship Department.
No wonder my sister was unwilling to join the alliance. It turned out that she didn't want to be dragged into this mess, be used as a thug, and then be ruthlessly eliminated in the end.
At the end of the rally, the three-man command team said that starting from tonight, they would register the total amount of supplies from each household and hand them in, and asked everyone to cooperate.
A 12-member logistics team was selected through on-site voting to help collect and transport supplies...
The alliance will distribute all registered supplies to every household after the next official gathering.
This is really a good way to play the shady game!
Gu Yang didn't say anything. As soon as the meeting was over, he quickly pulled his sister down the mountain and rushed back.
After taking only two steps, I was stopped by the uncle Lou Zheng who lived diagonally opposite.
"Gu Yang, our headquarters and logistics team will go to your house first, so please be prepared and don't hide anything!"
