Wu Lianlian did not harm the concubines to prevent them from having children. Instead, she protected them to prevent the first wife from sending people to harm the pregnant concubines.
She wanted to have a bunch of illegitimate children to drive the old woman crazy. As for whether these illegitimate children would get in her way, that was irrelevant. If she wanted, no matter how many illegitimate children there were, they wouldn't escape her grasp.
These people have always been well-behaved and dared not act recklessly in front of her. They are very obedient, so she will spare their lives for now. Once she has complete control of the Gu family, she will deal with those illegitimate sons together.
As for the illegitimate daughters, they were kept for marriage alliances.
Back to the Zhou family, the boy they had taken in slowly woke up after eating a bowl of snake soup. His first words were, "Hungry, I want to eat more."
So Zhou Sifu made him another bowl of snake soup. They hadn't caught any pheasants today, but they had caught two wild rabbits and made braised rabbit meat. Everyone ate with gusto.
Gu Yiqiao regained some of his strength, lay on the straw mat, looked at Zhou Sifu and the other brothers, and asked in a hoarse voice, "Who are you people? Are you five twin brothers?"
These five boys really look alike, but their heights are quite different, some are tall and some are short.
After asking the question, Gu Yiqiao realized he had gone off-topic. What he originally wanted to ask was, "Who are you people? Did you save me?"
"If it wasn't us who saved you, then who else could it be?" Zhou Erfu glanced at him and then looked away, not wanting to talk to him anymore.
If he hadn't clung to his father's leg so desperately, we wouldn't have been able to save him. Our own family was being chased by men in black, how could we have the energy to take on a burden? But even though the burden was unconscious, he still clung to them. I'm amazed.
"Thank you so much for saving me. Once I recover, I will definitely repay you all handsomely when I return," Gu Yiqiao said weakly, and even tried to get up to bow to them.
"Just stay still. If you really want to get better quickly, don't move around. Lie down and rest. We don't expect you to repay us. We just hope you get better and go home soon. We have important things to do and can't keep taking care of you all the time." Zhou Sifu pressed him back down to lie down, muttered to himself, and then took the bowl and went out.
The young man stared blankly at the roof beam, remaining silent, seemingly quietly recuperating from his injuries.
After eating and drinking their fill, the brothers were too tired to move around much and fell fast asleep on the bed. Zhao Guihua also took a nap at noon, but only sat on the bench in the main room for a short rest. Tangguo, on the other hand, was snoring loudly on the bench.
Xingxing, on the other hand, hadn't slept. She usually took a nap, but seeing that her father and brothers were injured and there was no one to keep watch, she sensibly took on this important task.
Sifu just went to the back mountain to hunt again, but he promised Xingxing that he would be back in half an hour at most.
