Gu Ranzhou had just finished washing the clothes and was hanging them up to dry when Gu Hu hurriedly ran towards him. The door was not closed at this time. Gu Ranzhou was a little surprised to see this. After all, no one would think of running to his house at this time.
Gu Ranzhou said calmly, "What's the matter? Why are you so impatient?"
Gu Hu took a deep breath and then said, "Uncle Jiu is in trouble. A group of people are coming towards our village?"
Gu Ranzhou didn't think much of it. After all, if they were here to cause trouble, they would have been stopped before they even entered the village. He kept talking, but his hands didn't stop moving. "What could possibly happen? It's just a group of people, right?"
Gu Hu immediately denied it, "No, I heard from my mother that the group seemed to be... seemed to be your sister-in-law's family."
"Are you sure?" Gu Ranzhou asked doubtfully. If that was the case, the villagers would not stop them. After all, if they used the excuse of visiting relatives, the villagers would not dare to stop them. After all, if they stopped them, it would be embarrassing. If the news got out, it would be bad for the reputation of the village.
After all, who would stop the bride's family from visiting relatives? What would happen if this got out and people in the village got married?
"The water is on the table, have a drink."
Gu Hu felt a little dry in the mouth after hearing what Gu Ranzhou said. He poured himself a bowl of water and drank it. Then he said, "I don't know much about it, but my mother said she had seen the leader. He had brought people to the village to cause trouble before, and was later driven out by Uncle Qi."
Seventh Uncle is Gu Ranzhou's brother.
Gu Ranzhou sneered and recalled the dream in which An An was bullied when he first arrived. The scene was still vivid in his mind. Whenever he thought of it, his heart ached. He thought that new and old grudges would come together, and one side would have to pay the price today.
After hanging up the last piece of clothing in his hand, Gu Ranzhou asked, "Where are they?"
Gu Hu: "When my mother called me to tell you, they had already walked past the window, and they were most likely heading this way."
Gu Ranzhou nodded and said, "Okay, I understand. You probably still have things to do, so go back and do yours first!"
"Uncle Jiu, don't you need me to stay and help you?"
Gu Ranzhou's tone was filled with chill: "No need, they are just a bunch of idiots, I can still handle it, go back!"
Seeing Gu Ranzhou’s refusal, Gu Hu had no choice but to nod and say, “Okay then!” Then he turned around and left.
Gu Ranzhou turned around and shouted into the house, "An An!"
The two children in the room seemed to hear the noise outside, opened the door and said, "What's wrong, Dad?"
Gu Ranzhou waved his hand and said, "Come here for a moment. Dad has something to tell you."
Gu Yu'an responded and rushed into Gu Ranzhou's arms like a small cannonball: "Okay, I'm coming right away."
Lu Haoyu then walked out of the room.
Gu Ranzhou hugged Gu Yu'an and said to her, "An'an, wait a minute, someone will come to our house. It's your uncle. Do you know what to do?"
Lu Haoyu stood in front of Gu Ranzhou and asked, "Uncle, what happened?"
Gu Ranzhou nodded and replied, "Well, there was a small problem."
Gu Yu'an also knew who the uncle his father was talking about. He hadn't seen his so-called uncle for a long time. He was too young to understand at that time, but he also knew that when his parents were alive, his family had a bad relationship with his maternal grandparents. Every time they came, his mother would hide in the room and cry. The most recent time was a long time ago. At that time, his father drove his so-called uncle out of the village. Later, after his parents had an accident, his fourth uncle took care of his parents' funeral before his father came back. He had never seen the family who were away come once.
Although Gu Yu'an didn't know what they were doing here, he knew it had something to do with him. His voice was choked with sobs and he cried, "Daddy, please don't leave me. Daddy, I don't want to leave you."
Gu Ranzhou looked at the child in his arms distressedly and said, "If you don't want to, no one can take you away, and Daddy won't abandon you either. Okay, be good and stop crying."
Lu Haoyu felt a little helpless and didn't know how to comfort his brother. He could only say to his brother, "Brother, don't cry."
Gu Yu'an nodded after hearing what Gu Ranzhou said, "Yes, I'm daddy's little baby. I don't want to leave daddy."
Gu Ranzhou and Lu Haoyu finally managed to coax An An to stop crying. Gu Ranzhou held An An in his arms, while Lu Haoyu sat beside her and watched An An.
A shifty-looking man, along with a group of thugs, walked excitedly towards Gu Ranzhou's residence. Seeing their attitude, many villagers and educated youth knew that this group of people might cause trouble in the village, but they didn't know who they were, so they could only watch and gossip from the side.
A male educated youth who didn't understand what was going on said, "What's going on? Where are these hooligans going?"
Another educated youth standing nearby said, "Where else can we go? It's obvious from the way we look that we're heading back. Don't you think there are only a few households at the back of the village?"
"Is it likely something is going to happen?"
Another person who was watching the fun said, "Who knows? Maybe he's visiting relatives!"
A female educated youth with twin ponytails asked, "Who comes to visit relatives with a group of people who are so aggressive?" Then she immediately asked, "Have you seen this? Is this how your family visits relatives?"
"Don't tell me, I've never seen it before. Let's see and find out."
A group of people stopped in front of Gu Ranzhou's house.
The pony following behind Li Gouzi looked at the family in front of him and asked in a servile manner, "Brother Gouzi, are you sure this is the family?"
Li Gouzi said confidently, "This is the family. Brothers, let's see what happens later!"
Everyone: "Got it, Brother Gouzi."
Li Gouzi strode forward, came to the door and knocked hard: "Open the door, is anyone there? Where have you all been? Come over here and open the door for me."
Gu Ranzhou went over to open the door and saw a short man about 1.7 meters tall with shifty eyes. There was a hint of coldness in Gu Ranzhou's eyes.
"Who are you?"
Li Gouzi looked at the man in front of him who was taller than him and asked in confusion: "Who are you? Why are you at my nephew's house?" Li Gouzi thought to himself that he remembered that this was his useless third sister's house, so how come a young man came out?
Gu Ranzhou said, "Nephew, who is your nephew?"
Li Gouzi stood in front of the door and shouted, "Gu Yu'an, Gu Yu'an, you little beast, come out here!"
Gu Ranzhou raised his foot and kicked Li Gouzi, kicking him out.
"What are you barking at?"
The villagers and educated youth who came to watch the fun were all stunned by Gu Ranzhou's actions. Even the ruffians brought by Li Gouzi were not surprised.
"Isn't this brother too tough?"
"Aren't you afraid of being blackmailed by these hooligans?"
"I suddenly admire this brother a little bit."
