Chapter 219 220. Shame
Gu Wenheng hurriedly drank two mouthfuls of mixed grain porridge, and without caring about Li Cuicui's attempts to keep him, he drove the donkey cart and rushed towards the county town before it got dark.
"This old man is too impatient. He didn't even say a word." Gu Yuanfeng was so angry that he stomped his feet. He just went to the backyard and let this kid slip away.
"Seventh son has to go to the academy tomorrow to study. If he doesn't hurry up, it will be dark soon." Li Cuicui learned the true situation of Gu Dashi from her son. She was holding back her anger. When Gu Yuanfeng opened his mouth, she cursed back.
"You are so lazy and slacking off. I think you are just like your father. Why don't you go to the backyard and put those clothes away? You are waiting for me for everything. If I am gone, who will you and your daughter turn to?"
"Mom, don't be angry. At least Dad is fine. It's better than having a real illness." Gu Yuanjin saw that his younger brothers were there watching the show, so he had to come out and smooth things over.
"That's right, mother. The doctor said that as long as my father works hard for a while, he can even plant ten acres of land." Gu Yuanshui said exaggeratedly, "In the future, mother won't have to work so hard. Dad is so capable, and we, as his sons, will definitely learn from him."
Gu Dashi, who was hiding in the house and had no face to see anyone, said, "..."
"Sister Dashi, is my brother Dashi back?" The village is so small that everyone, whether they are there to show concern or to enjoy the show, will always show up at the first opportunity.
Gu Dashi pulled the quilt over his head, "..."

"This house built by Old Seven is really magnificent," Gu Yuantu stood in the backyard and exclaimed at the huge house.
“How can it not be impressive?” Gu Yuanhuo picked up a wooden board and fanned himself. “I have been working for three months straight. It is almost autumn now. Just the house in our hometown would take as long as a village.”
After saying that, I felt it made sense, "It seems that our village didn't need to spend so much time at that time."
Gu Yuanjin, "How can it be the same? That is the joint effort of our entire village. In addition to the masters brought by Foreman Ding, only these people from our village came to help.
Besides, what kind of houses have we built? Can they be compared with those of the wealthy families?"
Looking at the high wall surrounding the outside, Gu Yuanjin was amazed. With so many materials, he could definitely build a yard like this.
"Mingxia, you four brothers are all working here. Can you handle the family affairs?" Liu Chunsheng took a big gulp of water. "Your family is lucky, with many brothers. You must have earned a lot of money this time!"
Gu Mingxia smiled shyly, "We have to thank Wenheng for leaving this opportunity to the people in our village. Now everyone has some money in their hands."
Liu Chunsheng curled his lips and said, "Now he is a landlord and rich, living in such a big yard, but his parents are still left in the village to suffer."
"Liu Chunsheng, what do you mean by this? Are you saying that we brothers are unfilial?" Gu Yuanshui no longer closed his eyes to rest, but sat up straight and stared at him.
"I'm not talking about you guys. You guys are really interesting. Your family is so wealthy, and you're still here trying to make a living from us."
"We don't like what you said. Our parents are the ones we brothers should support together. What's the point of leaving them to the seventh brother?
What's more, this is our Gu family's family affair. What do you, an outsider, know? You are just pointing fingers here. "Gu Yuanjin still remembered what Gu Wenheng said before, brothers are one, now an outsider is slandering his own brother like this, what is he trying to do?
You know, the seventh brother is going to take part in the provincial examination soon. If this gets out, it will definitely have an impact.
"I'm just speaking up for you. We are brothers from the same mother, but he orders servants around, while you are helping him move stones under the scorching sun." Liu Chunsheng saw that the Gu brothers were all glaring at him, so he quickly said in a nice way.
"We have already separated, and why did the Seventh Brother let us come here to work? Don't take advantage of it and still try to sow discord here." Although Gu Yuanhuo felt a little uncomfortable, he also knew that it was time to unite and face the outside world.
"Chunsheng, don't forget that you receive special care because you are in the same village. Otherwise, go and ask around in other villages what kind of short-term jobs people in other villages have found." Gu Daping and his family members also stared at him.
"Okay, okay, okay, you two are brothers with deep affection, so we won't stand here as villains in vain." Seeing that all the members of the Gu family were standing on the same line, Liu Chunsheng could only shrink back in disappointment.
He is not stupid. If this really gets out of hand, he won't be able to continue his job.
Although this is almost completed, I heard that the workshop behind will need to find people to do work in the future, so you'd better stop talking nonsense.
When Jin Qianqian heard the servant's report, she smiled and shook her head, and said to Gu Wenheng, "It seems that the previous meal was not in vain."
"It's the people here who value the honor of the clan more than anything else. Uncle Kaishan was talking about this a few days ago. The elders of the clan have repeatedly told them that if they dare to cause trouble here, the clan will take action."
Gu Wenheng handed the letter in his hand to Jin Qianqian, "Ye San has written again to urge for the delivery."
"Shouldn't he be busy in the glass workshop right now? How could he care about our small business?" Jin Qianqian thought of the silver notes that had been sent to her before, and couldn't help feeling a little jealous. It turned out that one had to rely on a big force to develop.
Gu Wenheng glanced at her and said, "Just a little fight? Are you sure?"
"There's nothing we can do even if they're in a hurry. I have prepared a lot of raw materials, but the venue hasn't been built yet." The main reason is that these few months are summer, and not only will we miss the hottest period, but we'll also be hit by several heavy rainstorms.
I heard that because of these heavy rains, the drought in my hometown has been alleviated to some extent, and some people even considered going back, but unfortunately they were suppressed by the old patriarch.
"How many clansmen are you going to arrange to come into the workshop? Give me a rough number first so that I can have an idea in mind." Jin Qianqian went over her arrangements for the period of time in her mind, and now it seemed that she was heading to Gaoling Village.
"I told the clan leader before that we need ten people first, including my eldest brother and the others. You can arrange some less important jobs to prevent some people from getting too ambitious." Gu Wenheng thought of the previous conversation with the elders, "This is also what the elders of the clan wanted."
Jin Qianqian nodded, "Then I'll ask them to clean up the workshop in the back first. They should be able to start working in a few days. But you're going to take the provincial examination soon. Do you want to go back before going to the provincial capital?"
Thinking of her troubled sister-in-law at home, Jin Qianqian couldn't help but press her forehead with a headache, feeling annoyed.
She and Gu Wenheng were newlyweds in love, and they didn't care even if they didn't have children now. But some people always used this matter to attack them. Even a clay man would get angry.
