Gu Xiuwen had said so much, and Mr. Gu Sanye couldn't say anything else. If he refused again, it would be ungrateful.
After completing the task, Gu Xiuwen finally walked out of the house with ease. He caught a glimpse of those people who were secretly peeping at him from the corner of his eye, and just laughed softly before speaking aloud.
"Third Grandpa forgot to mention this just now. Mother repeatedly told me to tell you that if anyone around here is ungrateful and sets their eyes on your food, just come and find us. Dad will definitely take care of it for you."
Gu Xiuwen usually speaks in a very calm manner, and it is rare for him to raise his voice like he does now. His purpose is to ensure that those who are secretly watching him can hear what he says.
"Even if there's a famine in Wanning Village, the people's minds must remain strong. If there's robbery or looting, Dad will definitely put them in jail!"
Uncle Gu had some understanding of Gu Xiuwen's character. When he heard his loud voice, he quickly looked around.
As expected, several people with panicked faces retracted their heads.
"You little brat..."
Gu Xiuwen lowered his voice, and this time only he and Uncle Gu could hear his words clearly.
"Third Grandpa, these are what my mother taught me. As long as you live a comfortable life, everything is worth it."
Gu Xiuwen used to think that he was a very thoughtful person, but after meeting Shen Ningsi, he realized that he had not thought deeply enough about some things.
Uncle Gu didn't know how many times tears had welled up in his eyes today. He silently turned his head and wiped the corners of his eyes hard.
"The child's affairs have been resolved, you should go back soon. I'm afraid Shen Yatou is getting anxious waiting for you."
Uncle Gu couldn't help but frown when he thought of what he heard at the Shen family today.
"Also, you should advise your mother that although growing potatoes is important, your own health is the most important thing."
Just now, when Uncle Gu heard that Shen Ningsi was going to teach the villagers how to grow potatoes tomorrow, he broke into a cold sweat for Shen Ningsi.
Her small frame showed that she was frail. Now she hadn't recovered yet, and now she was busy again, damaging her foundation. What a shame.
"Uncle San didn't persuade your mother just now because he saw that kid Gu Hong seemed to have something to say, but I waited until the end and he didn't open his mouth to persuade Shen Ningsi. I guess this matter can only be handed over to you."
Gu Xiuwen couldn't help but smile bitterly. Only then did he admit that Gu Hong did have some insight.
"Dad probably wants to persuade Mom, but he probably knows in his heart that Mom won't listen to any of this."
Gu Xiuwen couldn't understand why Shen Ningsi would go to such lengths for these villagers who had hurt her.
After thinking about it, I can only attribute it to the fact that Shen Ningsi is indeed kind-hearted.
"Uncle San, don't worry too much. Mother knows her limits. If there are any signs of damage to her health, she will know to stop."
Although Uncle Gu felt that according to Shen Ningsi's character, she would not stop when she found that she was unable to do anything, it was not appropriate to say anything more at this time.
"Brother Wen, you should also pay more attention to your mother and don't let her act so arrogantly all the time."
Gu Xiuwen nodded and finally said goodbye. As he walked along, people on the roadside were talking about it.
"Look, that kid Gu Xiuwen is out now. Maybe his mother is almost fully recovered. Otherwise, how could she be strolling around so leisurely?"
“In fact, the planting method that Gu Xiuwen taught us is somewhat useful, but I feel that it is still not as good as Shen Ningsi, and I don’t know when Madam Gu will come out again.”
"Stop looking forward to Madam Gu. She's the general's wife now. How can she be busy with our affairs? She just wants to lie at home and enjoy herself every day."
“…”
Gu Xiuwen had been turning a deaf ear to everyone's words, but when he heard this he couldn't help but stop and look over.
"If my mother wanted to be a lady at home, she wouldn't have taken on these chores in the first place."
"It's perfectly normal that you don't recognize my father. After all, his appearance has changed so much since he went to the battlefield. But he's lived in our house for so long, and they've even slept in the same bed. Do you think my mother doesn't have any suspicions?"
Gu Xiuwen is just talking nonsense now. According to his observation, Shen Ningsi has never guessed Gu Hong's identity.
Even though Gu Hong let the cat out of the bag several times, she had never thought about it in this way.
"My mother clearly figured out my father's identity, but she never considered relying on him for protection to live a comfortable life. Instead, she handed over all her life-saving methods to him and even tried her best to take on the work herself."
"My mother sincerely wanted to save you. Now she's just injured and taking a break. Do you think that means she's leaving you alone?"
Although he was just a young boy, when Gu Xiuwen frowned, he still made those who were whispering shut up.
Some people were wondering if the bloodline of Gu Hong's family was indeed a little different. How come Gu Qiuwen, at such a young age, looked like he was going to be an official?
"If my mother knew that I was about to support and teach you how to grow potatoes professionally, but you accused me of wanting to live a life of luxury behind my back, I'm sure she would be very disappointed."
Gu Xiuwen saw these people's expressions suddenly change from the corner of his eye, but he just raised the corner of his mouth in disdain.
"People do things with all their heart. If they knew their efforts were not appreciated or appreciated, their hearts would turn cold and they wouldn't be able to do certain things."
“…”
"Mr. Gu, what are you talking about? We were just gossiping. We are all grateful to Madam Gu in our hearts."
Hearing that Shen Ningsi might not care about them, everyone's face changed drastically. Now they only rely on Shen Ningsi.
"Fairy, you have helped us so much, and we are worried about how we can express our gratitude. We don't have anything to give to Madam Gu right now, but when our lives get better in the future, we will definitely not treat Madam Gu unfairly."
Gu Xiuwen just curled his lips slightly. It was all right for them to say some nice words before the supplies reached them.
Once these people really have food in their hands, it is not certain whether they will be willing to give it away.
"Alright, my mother has never needed any substantial feedback from you. Just don't act like you did just now, saying that my mother only wants to live a life of luxury just because she suffered losses while giving birth."
After saying this, Gu Xiuwen turned around and walked towards home. His eyes were gloomy and he couldn't help but spit in his heart at these ungrateful people.
