Chapter 284 Kick them out directly
"Ningbao, what are you muttering to yourself? Come here quickly, your Aunt Gu and the others are here."
The guests had already arrived in the courtyard, but his wife was still surrounded by the women from the village.
Mu Chunping had no choice but to come and call Ningbao, only to find his daughter talking to herself in the corner, looking rather dim-witted...
Mu Chunping wanted to ask if Ning Bao was possessed by an evil spirit, but then she thought that Ning Bao herself was a ward off evil spirits, so how could she be possessed?
Could this evil spirit possess Ningbao? How powerful must it be?
Ningbao has no idea what her father is thinking. If she did, she would definitely say something.
"Dad, you have such a vivid imagination."
…………
Ning Bao came out of the kitchen and saw Gu Kaizhen leaning over the table, smelling the aroma of the dishes. He stared in disbelief at the table full of fish dishes.
Is this a fish?
Why does it not only not smell fishy, but it also smells very nice? Have I been eating fake fish all this time?
The meal was a pleasure for both host and guests, and it gave Gu Kaizhen a new understanding of fish.
…………
After lunch, Lin Dajiang strolled over and sat down next to Gu Dasheng, sighing repeatedly.
Mu Dasheng frowned as he looked at Lin Dajiang's worried face.
"Dajiang, what's wrong with you today? You came over without saying a word, just sighing. Is something wrong?"
If all else fails, we should gather everyone together to discuss it; one person's idea can never outweigh the collective wisdom of the group.
Lin Dajiang sighed softly again.
"Brother Dasheng, building a home is really not easy."
Look, we have the foundation now, but building a house isn't something that can be done in a day or two.
The weather here seems much warmer than up north, and it's almost time for spring planting. If we're building houses, we won't have time to clear land for farming.
But we can't stay on their estate forever. Staying for a few days is fine, but staying for several months would be inappropriate.
So now I'm torn between planting crops first or building a house first. Originally, I was thinking of building a shed to live in first, and then building a house after spring planting is over.
But today I heard from Liu, the constable, that this area is near the sea and often experiences strong winds and relatively heavy rainfall. If the weather is good, the sheds are still habitable, but if it's cloudy and rainy, a gust of wind could blow them away.
"Butler Xiang, you've arrived. Please come inside and have a seat."
The two were worrying about the house when they suddenly heard Li Guizhi greeting Gu Xiang from outside.
The village chief heard the noise and quickly came out.
"Butler Xiang is here. You're here to see......"
Gu Xiang smiled.
“I heard that you’ve come to Dasheng’s place, let’s go inside and talk.”
Mu Dasheng had difficulty moving around, so Gu Xiang and Lin Dajiang sat directly on Mu Dasheng's makeshift bed on the floor. Gu Xiang looked at the two of them...
"I just came from my young lady's place. During lunch, my young lady heard Chunping say that you were worried about the house and spring plowing."
We've known each other for so long, to be frank, our relationship is much closer than that of neighbors and relatives.
Even ordinary relatives may not have shared meals or lived under the same roof for months like we have.
We're like one big family now, so there's no need to be too formal.
You can stay here in peace. Spring plowing waits for no one, and building houses is also a big deal.
Now we're focusing on spring planting; once that's over, we can concentrate on building the house.
..."
"Can?"
Lin Dajiang didn't know how to respond after hearing Gu Xiang's words.
He had barely opened his mouth when Gu Xiang raised his hand to interrupt him.
"Dajiang, don't say thank you yet. It's not that my young lady is so kind, but she is indeed kind."
Haha, the key point is that we've spent so much time together, and we even lived in the same courtyard when we were at the temple.
After spending a lot of time with the villagers, my eldest daughter felt that although there were a few women in our village who were not very likable, they were still acceptable.
…………
After hearing Gu Xiang's words, Lin Dajiang and Mu Dasheng were filled with gratitude. Gu Yunrou had helped them so much along the way.
Gu Yunrou might be the benefactor Ning Bao was referring to.
Now that Gu Yunrou has offered to let everyone stay here temporarily, Lin Dajiang didn't delay and immediately prepared some small gifts for his daughter-in-law and wife to thank Gu Yunrou.
Then a meeting was held for everyone, and the rules for living here were solemnly reiterated. Anyone who did not comply would be kicked out without any leniency.
