Chapter 74 75. Chicken Soup for the Soul
Apart from Gu Dashi, Xie Ruyi also didn't want to follow into the mountains.
"Sister-in-law, if Letian and the Le family were here, they would also want you to go into the mountains. After all, there is water there, and the family can live better." Jin Qianqian squatted in front of her and advised.
"Look, Lao Qi and I went into the city in a rush, and finally found another way back. Maybe Le Tian and the Le family are looking for you everywhere. You also hope to be healthy, so wait for them to come back!"
"Will they really come back?"
Jin Qianqian had been fed so much inspirational stories in the present life that she could come up with them easily, "Of course, even if they don't care about us uncles and aunts, they should care about you, their own mother. They have always listened to you the most, and maybe they are worried about you just like you are now.
..."
"Then I will leave with you. I have to live a few more days, and then I can see them get married and give me grandchildren." Xie Ruyi's eyes sparkled, and the beautiful scene described by Jin Qianqian seemed to appear before his eyes.
Gu Yuanjin nodded gratefully towards Jin Qianqian. As long as this person has something to rely on, his demeanor will be different.
It can be said that all members of the Gu family have been mobilized this time. After all, they rely on a few grassroots to survive every day, and it is not known how long they can last.
The Lan family wanted to leave with them, but the two generations of their family heads were lying on the ground and unable to move, so they could only surround Li Cuicui and the others again.
"That won't work. We can't even carry our own stuff, so how can we help you carry people?"
"We will give you silver," Lan Tian said with pain, "and we won't let you work for nothing. We will pay you."
"Wages? How much?" Li Xiaohua quickly squeezed to the side of Li Cuicui, her eyes shining.
"Two hundred copper coins a day," Lantian said gritting his teeth.
"Two hundred copper coins?" Li Xiaohua's face immediately fell. "You really treat us like beggars. What can we get in return for 200 copper coins? The sweat I shed along the way is worth more than that."
"You think 200 copper coins are not enough. Don't forget, everyone was scrambling to make it before for only ten copper coins." Lantian shouted in surprise.
"You also said that was in the past." Li Xiaohua didn't want to waste time here, so she turned around and pushed Gu Yuanhuo, "Let's pack up quickly. The earlier we arrive, the earlier we can get water."
Lantian could only turn to Gu Dashi for help, "My dear relative, look at all these strong laborers. I also want to keep the wealth within the family. Our two families can help each other, and it will be easier for the two children to get along when they come back.
But look at your descendants, they don’t seem to think so.”
Li Cuicui didn't even give Gu Dashi a chance to speak, "I'm really disappointed with you. Our family doesn't want to take advantage of this. Look around and see who is willing to make this money. Go find them.
As for your daughter, she has been missing for so many days. Even if you find her again, I guess no one would want her. You should think of a temple somewhere and find a way out for her!"
"You..." Lan Tian gritted her teeth. Did she really think she hadn't approached other people? Those people either asked for exorbitant prices or simply ignored them.
"What do you mean? Don't block our way. Look, the team in front of us has already started to move out." Li Cuicui turned around and glared at Gu Dashi. "Hurry up. Don't forget that you can't protect yourself now. Don't think about being a hero."
Gu Dashi wanted to say something, but was supported by Gu Wenheng. "Dad, I see that Third Uncle and the others have already set off. Let's catch up quickly! Look ahead, is Fourth Uncle standing there waiting for you?"
"Where?" Gu Dashi squinted his eyes and felt that the sunlight in front of him was a little dazzling.
"It's right in front. Let's walk forward and we'll be able to see it." Gu Wenheng picked up the bag that he had placed on the side of the road and helped Gu Dashi carry the things on his shoulders.
As for the Lan family's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law who still wanted to speak, they were stared at closely by Li Cuicui and Jin Qianqian, so they could only swallow back the words that were about to come out of their mouths.
"How could they think of such a thing?" As they followed the team, Li Cuicui had the leisure to talk to Jin Qianqian about what had happened during this period.
Jin Qianqian breathed a sigh of relief quietly, and couldn't help but give herself a thumbs up in her heart for her cleverness. Fortunately, she was careful at the time and took advantage of the chaos to recycle all the empty bottles into the space, otherwise, who knows how much trouble it would have caused.
"Mom, let's not mess with people like them. It is said that it is better to offend a gentleman than a villain. These people are cunning. We are not afraid of them coming openly, but we are afraid of them playing tricks."
"That's right," Li Cuicui complained a little, "Your sixth sister is a fool. The He family is not good people at all, but she is still helping them.
Didn’t their old ox die of thirst yesterday? They actually wanted you brothers to come over and help them out.”
"That's nothing," Jin Qianqian didn't know what was going on. "It's normal for us to help each other when something happens. Besides, that's Sixth Sister's in-laws' family."
Li Cuicui, "If that's the case, wouldn't I feel bad for my daughter? Your eldest brother and his family also went there at that time, but who knew that the man surnamed He was lying on the ground cursing, and his mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were giving your brother and his family a cold look.
At that time, your third brother was quite reliable, and he dragged your eldest brother and fourth brother back directly. "
Jin Qianqian didn't expect such a thing to happen. There are really bad guys everywhere. "That's not something I should help. If you have the time, you might as well get more sleep and keep your strength.
But what about my sixth sister and her family? I don’t think they left with us?”
"I also told the couple, but who knew they were so focused on taking care of He Tuliang that they really didn't even care about their own lives."
Li Cuicui pouted after she finished speaking, "Did you see those people following us? Some of them went there to fetch water, and some wanted to follow us to find out what was going on. If that place is really suitable for living, they might even have to compete with us for a spot.
You said, Old Seven's wife, don't be too honest when the time comes. Anyway, you have been there before, so you know which position is good, so take it first. Don't be stupid and suffer a loss."
Jin Qianqian looked back and found a long team lagging behind, and was once again shocked by these people's way of survival.
Originally, they didn't make a big fuss about their discovery of the lake, but these people still got the news.
And they were able to make a decision so quickly, carrying large and small bags and immediately setting off on the road.
"Mom, my dad is looking for you up ahead?" Gu Wenheng interrupted the conversation between the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law.
"What does your father have to do with me?" Li Cuicui didn't believe what Gu Wenheng said, "He now completely regards me as an enemy."
Gu Wenheng: "..." But you can't occupy my wife alone.
