Dong Chunxiao never dreamed that this commotion would end like this. Shouldn't these people be overthrowing the landlord? Why is their attitude so wrong?
But she didn't want to leave so dejectedly; she hadn't finished her business yet. "Brother, this is also for the sake of the Gu family. I'll buy it; after all, it's a family matter."
Who does he think he is? A nobody from out of town, what right does he have to buy our old house? It's not like I can't afford it. Why should an outsider benefit from it?
Gu Hanting shook his head expressionlessly. "Go ahead and make a scene. If you're not afraid of getting burned, then keep making a scene. Anyway, as a landlord, I don't have any say and I can't make decisions for anyone."
Zhixuan, Zhihong, let's go back—"
Gu Zhixuan and Gu Zhihong helped Gu Hanting turn around and leave. The two brothers both knew about what happened today, but they weren't here for the meal. Gu Zhixuan had already taken the food back to the cowshed to eat. After all, they had to avoid suspicion in this situation.
Although Jiang Qiao is nominally the granddaughter of the Gu family, they need help there, so Jiang Qiao stayed behind. She didn't want to give outsiders an excuse to question her, nor did she want to cause trouble for Jiang Xiuqi.
After Gu Hanting left, Dong Chunxiao was unsure how to proceed with the rest of the performance.
She sat on the ground and started crying, patting her legs, not caring that the ground was cold.
"Captain, comrades, I've been married to someone from another place for so many years, you have no idea how much I've suffered. I think about it every day and long to go back to my hometown so that I can at least close my eyes in peace when I die."
Look at me, I've come back, but I can't even stay in my own old house. You be the judge, is this something a human being would do?
The team wants to sell, I have no objection, and I want to buy, is that not allowed? Others can buy, so why can't I, a former member of the Gu family, buy?
"It's fine if you don't let me buy it, but at least let me stay at home for two days. At least then, I can go back and fulfill a wish."
Jiang Qiao finally understood that Dong Chunxiao and the others not moving in meant they were determined to keep going.
However, Ma Liu was unwilling to accept this. Putting aside the fact that these three people were outsiders, if they harbored malicious intentions, they would all become victims.
Besides, this woman has no shame in order to covet the Gu family's wealth, so what else does he have to worry about?
"Hey, Dong Chunxiao, those two legs of yours aren't rented. Who can stop you from coming back? If you want to come back, you can come back anytime. You haven't wanted to come back for so many years, you just don't have the heart for it."
Stop acting, it's so fake. And you're even moving in. If you really think you're a family person, fine, take the kids to the cowshed for a couple of days and keep your older brother company.
Forget about me, I've already bought it. I don't welcome people like you. Goodbye, gentlemen, everyone disperse. A guest like you won't be welcome in any home.
Then he clasped his hands in a fist and said to the villagers, "Everyone, this is my home from now on. Come and sit down whenever you have time. You are welcome to come anytime, except for these three."
With Ma Liu around, there's really no need for Jiang Qiao to step in anymore. Besides, Ma Liu felt it wasn't appropriate to let a young girl like Jiang Qiao deal with Dong Chunxiao and her family of three at this time.
"Let's go back and eat!"
Qi Xiang snorted, "What a bunch of idiots, running wild without even looking where they are. Let's go, let's all disperse, this is no fun."
Jiang Xiuqi glanced at Dong Chunxiao, snorted coldly, turned and went into the house. The others shook their heads and followed him into the house one after another.
After all, Ma Liu was hosting the older generation of people in the village, and there were quite a few of his own children and grandchildren standing outside. The old people were eating here, and the children and grandchildren really couldn't say anything else.
However, everyone looked at Dong Chunxiao and her two children with disdain. Fortunately, the house they lived in was not privately owned; otherwise, they would have been kicked out long ago for disturbing their elders' meals.
All year round, no one can see meat. It's not easy for Ma Liu to treat everyone to a meal. Everyone knows what kind of conditions he has. It's not easy to let the elderly eat meat. And this woman still makes a fuss. Who can stand her?
The mother and her three daughters' performance has completely stalled. Without an audience, who are they performing for?
Dong Chunxiao's son's attitude wasn't very good at this point, after all, his mother had messed everything up.
"Look, we told you not to come, but you insisted on coming anyway, and you even said you could handle everything. You messed it up, didn't you?"
I told you you're getting senile, but you wouldn't admit it. Now, let's see what you do. You might even lose our travel expenses."
Her son's words put Dong Chunxiao in an awkward position. "What are you saying? I'm your mother. Would I harm you?"
The daughter next to her started complaining, "If I didn't know you were our mother, I would have thought you were our enemy. Why did we come here? Do you remember? Have you ever seen a mother who harms her children like this?"
Dong Chunxiao was so angry that she stood up and was about to hit her two unfilial children. "What are you saying? I am your mother. Would I harm you?"
The son snorted coldly, "It's too late to say anything now. How can we stay here? Your good brother doesn't want us anymore. The people in this village are just so-so, not as kind as you say. What can we do now?"
Dong Chunxiao patted the dirt off his backside, a fierce glint flashing in his eyes. "Let's go back and figure something out."
After seeing off the people who had eaten, Jiang Qiao turned around and told Ma Liu that Dong Chunxiao and his group would not let the matter rest.
"Grandpa Liu, we're going back soon. I'm a little worried about leaving you to deal with this mother and her three children alone. How about I talk to Wang Datou and ask him to take some men and get rid of them?"
Ma Liu smiled and shook his head. "The house is mine now, what am I afraid of? Besides, given your relationship with Lao Qiao here, everyone can help me but not him."
Don't worry, go back to school. I don't take that old woman's tricks seriously at all.
Since Ma Liu has said so, Jiang Qiao should go over here to find Gu Zhixuan and the others, and also tell Gu Hanting.
Gu Hanting sat on the kang (a heated brick bed) in the cowshed, and he didn't seem very happy.
"Grandpa, what's wrong?"
Gu Hanting sighed, "I never expected Dong Chunxiao to cause such a fuss, and to be so bold. Logically speaking, given the status of our two families, she shouldn't be like this. Even your grandfather would rather keep a low profile than do this, let alone Dong Chunxiao."
Even your grandfather knew to leave his hometown, so why do you think Dong Chunxiao and the others would do this?
Gu Zhixuan chimed in from the side, "Money can move people's hearts."
