Chapter 70 71. Dissociating Brothers
They are afraid of wolves in front and tigers behind, and they are also afraid of the hard work in between. Gu Wenheng has some understanding of the decisions of these people.
He still stood up very respectfully and bowed to them, "Would you listen to what I have to say?"
Gu Sanbu waved his hand, motioning him to speak.
"In fact, we can send people to guard here in batches. If there is any disturbance here, we will only be late for a day or two, so it shouldn't be a big deal.
You guys are thinking about the food problem, do you think we can solve it if we continue to defend here?"
“But if so many of us leave, the refugees who come later will follow us. If they have bad intentions, we may not be able to withstand it.
Living at the gate of the city, although it is inconvenient to get water, but with the soldiers guarding the city to suppress it, others will be more restrained. "When the village chief Shi thought of the old and young in the village, he really didn't want to move.
“…”
Gu Wenheng tried to suppress his anger. These people were too indecisive. If they continued to argue like this, they might not be able to come up with a set of rules even by tomorrow.
He turned to look at Gu Sanbu, "You see, I haven't visited my father since I came back. Why don't you discuss it first? I'll go back to see him first."
"That's as it should be," Gu Sanbu was very pleased that the Gu family always kept the old man in mind. "The family must have a lot of questions to ask right now. If there's really something, I'll have someone call you."
Gu Wenheng bowed to the elders present, then quickly turned and left.
"Gu Yuanyu has studied with the scholar for several years, so he has all the etiquette. Moreover, he always keeps his parents in his heart, so he can be considered a filial son." Filial piety has been used to govern the country throughout the dynasties, and everyone has a good impression of Gu Wenheng from the bottom of their hearts.

"Seventh Brother's wife, I heard that you were going to exchange the water for food?" Jin Qianqian never expected that not long after she sat down, the first person to come to her door was Gu Yuanjin.
"Brother?" Jin Qianqian didn't dare to sit still anymore and quickly stood up. "We are all family. What I said before was just for others to hear. Do you need some water? Take this back and use it first."
What she said before was just an angry remark. She really wasn't so cold-blooded as to guard a whole space of food and yet fight with everyone for this life-saving food.
"That won't do. We'll just have to calculate it the way it should be. Look, I have half a bag of millet here, brother. Just give me as much water as you can." Gu Yuanjin put the bag in front of her.
Jin Qianqian, "Brother, hurry up and take the things back. This water is not worth much. My husband can take you there to get water tomorrow. There is a whole lake of water. You can use it however you want."
Gu Yuanjin was very stubborn. "Even if that's the case, it will be a matter of time. Let's make it clear. You guys carried it all the way back, and I can't take advantage of you."
Jin Qianqian looked to Li Cuicui for help, but she turned her head away, determined not to get involved in their affairs.
Jin Qianqian handed him a bamboo tube and said, "This is full of water, take it first, and as for the food, take it back with you, or else my husband will blame me when he comes back."
Gu Wenheng: "..." He is definitely going to be the scapegoat.
Gu Yuanjin, "This?"
"Brother, just take the things back. You don't want to make things difficult for me, do you?" Jin Qianqian had a worried look on her face, pretending to be a young wife.
"Then I'll wait until Old Seven is free and then talk to him," Gu Yuanjin couldn't stand here and argue with his brother's wife, so he could only take a step back.
After Gu Yuanjin left, Li Cuicui sighed, "Your elder brother is changing the water for your sister-in-law to drink. Le Tian and Le Jia didn't come back, and they took away most of her energy.
Apart from forcing her to eat something every day, she usually keeps her mouth tightly shut. If she doesn’t recover soon, her body won’t be able to hold on for much longer.”
Li Cuicui felt helpless and angry about her eldest daughter-in-law's stubborn behavior. So many people's family members didn't come back, but others were still holding on.
Only if you survive can you be reunited. If you exhaust yourself, it will be a real tragedy.
"In fact, no news is good news," Jin Qianqian looked at her elder brother who was carefully feeding her elder sister-in-law water not far away, "Didn't anyone go to persuade them?"
"I tried to persuade her, but she just wouldn't listen. She did nothing every day and just stared at the city gate." Hong Daya came over at some point. "Whenever someone came out, she would run over. She was disappointed with hope over and over again, and she was completely trapped in a demonic barrier."
Jin Qianqian, "..."
"But luckily you guys are back, so mother will worry less. These days, although she didn't show it on her face, she would follow my sister-in-law every time she ran over, saying that she was afraid that my sister-in-law would offend the police, but in fact, she had the same purpose."
Jin Qianqian, "My second brother and second sister-in-law are so smart, maybe they have found a new way to survive by now.
Le Tian and Le Jia are both grown men with smart brains, so they will be fine."
"That's right, everyone says so, but you don't know that every time the city gate is opened and those who are beaten half to death are dragged out, everyone will be nervous." Even if Hong Daya and Wang Caiyue often quarrel, she doesn't want them to suffer like this.
"I say, seventh brother's wife, we are all brothers from the same family. You only give them to your eldest brother and fifth brother, and leave your third brother and our family out. Isn't that too much?" Liu Liu pulled Gu Yuanshui, with Li Xiaohua and her family following behind, and stood directly in front of Jin Qianqian.
"What are you trying to do?" Li Cuicui stood up suddenly, "Don't forget that you brothers have separated, so naturally they have the final say on their things.
"Third and fourth brothers, what do you want to do? Are you following your wives' lead in making trouble?"
"Mom, we didn't say anything." Gu Yuanshui glanced at Jin Qianqian, "Isn't this because Seventh Brother's wife is unfair? We are all brothers, but why are we dividing them into different levels?"
Jin Qianqian, "Others show me kindness, and I return it with gentleness. Fourth brother, fourth sister-in-law, how do you think I should treat you?"
When Jin Qianqian said this, she glanced meaningfully at the couple behind them. The same problem applied to them as well.
"Don't tell me those words that I can't understand," Gu Yuanshui waved his hands, "You shouldn't have used these bamboo tubes of water to alienate the relationship between us brothers today. Hurry up and give us what belongs to us, and let this matter be over."
"I don't think we still owe Fourth Brother anything." Gu Wenheng's voice sounded coldly behind them.
Gu Yuanshui and Gu Yuanhuo turned around abruptly, but quickly put on a smiling face, "Seventh Brother, you are back safely, we were so worried about you these days.
It just so happens that we haven’t had a good chat these days, let’s go to the side and chat.”
