Chapter 4 4. Gu Family
I quickly raised my hand and looked at it. This chicken claw-like palm was actually mine? I moved my index finger and thumb in disbelief. It was really controlled by my brain. What the hell was this?
"Seventh Brother's wife, stop looking around and save some energy for your journey later." A weak voice from the side entered Jin Qianqian's ears.
Miraculously, she understood this strange local accent.
"Where are we?" She blurted out the same language. She knew it was the dialect of some place, but she was actually able to speak it, which scared her.
"I don't know where it is. Anyway, I will walk as long as I can. If I can't walk anymore, I will just fall down on the side of the road. Whether I live or die depends on God's will."
After saying this, the other party didn't know whether it was to save energy, but no matter how much Jin Qianqian asked, he didn't say another word.
Jin Qianqian suddenly felt a headache, and a memory that did not belong to her flooded into her mind.
She is now living in a dynasty she has never heard of. There is an emperor and government here. It is feudal and backward, and all the common people depend on the weather for their livelihood.
Her current status is due to the continuous droughts. She can no longer stay in her hometown, so she fled with her entire family.
But what does this mean by married? She hasn't even had a relationship yet, but she has arranged a husband for herself.
In this dynasty where there was no divorce, if a woman wanted to leave her husband's home, the options were either divorce or divorce.
Jin Qianqian’s husband’s surname is Gu. The Gu family is considered a relatively large family in the village, with more than 20 households in the same clan.
The original body's husband went to school for a few years and passed the examination to become a student. His life was at most a little better than other people in the village, but if they really encountered such a disaster, their family would not be able to afford it.
Jin Qianqian's mother-in-law was fertile and gave birth to seven sons and one daughter.
My father-in-law Gu Dashi is an honest and hardworking man. Although he is just over fifty years old, he acts like an old man in his sixties or seventies. Years of hard work have made his back unable to straighten, and he always walks with a hunched back.
Originally, he wanted to stay at home with the old people in the village this time, not wanting to drag down such a large family, but no one expected that Gu Li Li Cuicui would be so relentless, saying that the whole family must be together, and if it fell apart, she would die in front of everyone.
Li Cuicui, that person is not someone you can easily deal with. Not only are the people in Kaoshan Village afraid of her, but even if you walk all the way to Baini'ao, everyone will have to give way.
Although she was aggressive, what really frightened everyone were the seven tall and strong sons she gave birth to.
In addition, the grandson has grown up over the years, and if the young men in the family go out, no one dares to provoke them.
That's right, the sons of the Gu family all inherited Li Cuicui's limbs and bones. They are all tall and strong. In addition, the eldest and second sons know hunting, and the family has adequate nutrition. Therefore, the height of their family members is top-notch among ordinary people.
The Gu family has another characteristic that makes everyone even more fearful, that is, no matter how they fight at home, when it comes to facing outsiders, their fists will not reason with you.
The eldest son, Gu Yuanjin, married Xie Ruyi and had three sons, Gu Letian, sixteen years old, Gu Leti, fifteen years old, and Gu Lejia, fourteen years old.
The second son, Gu Yuanmu, married Wang Caiyue and had two sons, Gu Lehuan, fourteen years old, and Gu Lexi, thirteen years old.
The third son, Gu Yuanhuo, married Li Xiaohua and had two sons, Gu Leping, twelve years old, and Gu Le'an, ten years old.
The fourth son, Gu Yuanshui, married Liu Liu and had a son and a daughter. Gu Lekai was nine years old and Gu Lehua was six years old.
The fifth child, Gu Yuantu, married Hong Daya and had a son, Gu Leshun, who was four years old.
The sixth child, Gu Yuanfeng, is the couple’s only daughter. She married He Tuping from the same village and has a three-year-old daughter, He Chuncao.
The seventh son, Gu Yuanyu, married Jin, also known as Jin Qianqian, and they have no children yet.
The eighth brother, Gu Yuanlei, should have gotten married if it weren’t for this disaster.
With such a large family, the old man and the old lady naturally would not take on everything all the time. As soon as each son got married, they would move out of the family.
It is said that a young boy can make his father go bankrupt. The two of them have struggled for so many years, and they can't raise a son and a grandson at the same time.
Although the old lady was a bit arbitrary, she did have a plan in mind. She separated the married sons and the old couple continued to take care of the remaining children, and finally raised them all to adulthood.
It seemed that good days were coming, but I never thought that God was unwilling to make them come true.
Jin Qianqian didn't want to think about her husband who had just taken over. She sorted out the people and events in her memory and secretly reminded herself not to reveal too many flaws, otherwise according to the ignorance of these ancients, what might be waiting for her might be a raging fire.
And as I just reminded myself, the eldest sister-in-law and the sisters-in-law who separated from the family early on just get along with each other in a perfunctory manner. After all, no one has any vested interests involved.
Jin Qianqian, lying on the ground, felt like her throat was about to smoke. She especially missed the various drinks she had collected before.
As soon as she thought of the iced cola, Jin Qianqian couldn't help but clench her hands. She quickly turned sideways and used her clothes to cover the bottle that suddenly appeared in her hand. The cool touch made Jin Qianqian feel happy. This meant that the space could be opened again.
Touching the bottle in her hand with regret, Jin Qianqian finally did not dare to make any noise. She understood the principle of being guilty of possessing a treasure.
But since I was fleeing with such a large group of people, I couldn't even give myself some special treatment in private.
There were people all around, and she couldn't guarantee that she wouldn't be discovered.
She couldn't act alone. Not to mention that she didn't have a pass, even if she had one, she didn't have the courage to challenge human nature at this time.
"Everyone, get up," Gu Dashi, who was lying at the edge, shouted to the people at home, "The boss and the others are back, you should also pack your things quickly and don't hold back the men at home."
Jin Qianqian finally understood that those lying here and there were all members of the Gu family.
It’s just that everyone keeps their own food, and in order to prevent others from finding excuses to borrow food, everyone has their own territory.
Jin Qianqian's husband went out with his brothers and nephews to look for food and water, so she was lying here alone.
The people around were all getting up. Jin Qianqian couldn't stay on the ground any longer, so she put the Coke in her hand back into the room and then propped herself up and sat up.
Looking at her parents-in-law not far away from her, Jin Qianqian lowered her eyes. Among the brothers, they were the only couple who got married relatively late and had relatively few belongings, so they had packed up everything in no time.
My parents-in-law brought their youngest son with them, and thanks to the filial piety of their several sons over the years, they brought the most things out of everyone.
Father-in-law: Gu Dashi Mother-in-law: Li Cuicui
Brothers: Gold, Wood, Water, Fire, Earth, Rain, Thunder, Sister-in-law: Wind
Grandchildren: Heaven and Earth, joy, peace, blossoming, smooth
This makes it easy to remember at a glance, []~（￣▽￣）~*
