When clan leader Gu Yuxi heard this, he became unhappy.

He knew about Gu Yanzhang's cousins, the five Yu brothers.

As early as last year, he had actually discussed it privately with Gu Yanzhang's father Gu Yu'an.

He wanted the people in his village to rent the more than 100 acres of wasteland opened up by his family.

After all, they were all people in the village. Many of them were not even five generations of relatives. The relationship was very close!

However, Gu Yuxi never expected that Gu Yanzhang's wife, Chen Xuanxuan, decisively refused in less than two days.

She said that his family had to keep their promise.

His family had already promised the five Yu brothers to help plant his family's fields.

Thinking of the unpleasant things in the past, the clan leader Gu Yuxi, who had never really quarreled with anyone, couldn't help but get angry.

"You can't do this or that. Are you going to watch some of our relatives die?!"

"Brother Yan, you should be conscientious when you are a human being! You know, when you were young, if it weren't for us clan members helping your family, do you think your family can live so well now?"

Gu Yanzhang felt a little uncomfortable when he heard this.

What's the connection? !

The reason why his family can get rich is not because of the relationship between his daughter-in-law and her family?

When have these people in the village ever helped his family? !

Thinking that his family had never taken any advantage from the clan, but the clan leader forced him to accept those non-existent favors, Gu Yanzhang, who was furious, said at the time.

"Clan leader, what you said is a bit wrong!"

"I've already said that our house is already full of my cousins' houses. There's really no room for them. You can't ask me to drive out more than 30 people of them and let them fend for themselves, right?"

"..."

Gu Yuxi was choked, and suddenly became angry and said, "Aren't they going back?"

Gu Yanzhang replied, "Their hometown is Yujiashan. Now the mountain roads from here to Yujiashan are all flooded! How can you ask them to go back?"

"Besides, they haven't been back for several years. They themselves can't clearly explain what the situation in their hometown is like now..."

After saying this, Gu Yanzhang sighed, "The few mud houses we built in the swamp upstream are now all soaked by floods. A few days ago, the house was soaked soft. I saw that something was wrong, so I asked my father to drive all the pigs raised there back to our home."

"Now those fat pigs and more than a dozen piglets can only be raised in our own toilet..."

Hearing Gu Yanzhang say that his family's toilet was used by pigs, the worry on the face of the clan leader Gu Yuxi was suddenly filled with worry.

He sighed, "Oh, what is this all about!"

For farmers who work in the fields, good weather and good harvests are what they desire most.

Only with good weather and good harvests can they harvest the crops they grow in the fields.

They are most afraid of strong winds and rainstorms, and disasters every year.

Recently, many places have seen floods. Everyone in Gujiagang is scared. Now they just hope that the situation can get better.

Knowing that Gu Yanzhang couldn't help here, Gu Yuxi sighed in frustration, and then said to others with an unhappy face, "Brother Yan's house is full of people now. No matter what, we, the Gu family, can't drive them out alive at this time. If such a thing gets out, the reputation of our Gu family will be completely over."

As the head of the family, Gu Yuxi still attaches great importance to his own reputation and the reputation of his own family.

In his opinion, if his family loses a good reputation, then their Gu family will become a rat crossing the street in this place. Everyone will shout and beat them.

He attaches great importance to reputation.

In fact, the same is true for other people in the village.

After knowing that Gu Yanzhang's family had already squeezed in more than 30 people from the Yu family, they frowned and looked at each other.

Looking at their eyes, you can tell that they really have no other choice at this moment.

Some elderly people thought about it seriously and decided to lend a helping hand to their relatives.

They would rather have no place to sleep than to have a place for their relatives to shelter from the wind and rain.

After Gu Yuxi simply convened such a clan meeting, those who could be resettled were basically resettled.

"..."

Gu Yanzhang, a simple and honest man, said to Chen Xuanxuan with a tired face as soon as he got home, "Wife, if the heavy rain outside continues, after a while, our house will definitely be like the vegetable market in the county town, full of people. And they will sleep together in a crowded place..."

Chen Xuanxuan was surprised and asked, "Master, why do you say that?"

Gu Yanzhang held his head with his hands, his face depressed, "Because many people in our village still live in mud houses..."

"The mud house they live in is completely different from ours. The house they live in now is not even comparable to the two mud houses my father built decades ago."

Without waiting for Chen Xuanxuan to ask, Gu Yanzhang answered himself, "Although our old house looks a bit shabby, it is still quite durable when it rains heavily or blows strongly. People sleeping in the house will not feel particularly cold. Because our old house was built with Jiang's mud bricks."

"However, the situations of many families in the village are different. Because the walls of their houses... are all built by themselves with yellow mud."

Chen Xuanxuan was suspicious when she heard this, "They built it themselves?... Then they are really admirable. However, are the mud houses they built durable?"

Gu Yanzhang shook his head and said, "The mud houses built by farmers themselves are actually just for show. They can't withstand strong winds or heavy rains. As long as it rains heavily outside for ten days or half a month, many houses will collapse..."

After hearing this news, Chen Xuanxuan immediately understood why the man in front of her had just said that many people in the village would live in their houses in the future?

The answer was already clear.

If the heavy rain outside continues, the new houses her family built will most likely be the safest shelter in this place.

After being mentally prepared, Chen Xuanxuan said frankly, "Boss, things will work out when the time comes. If we worry too much before something happens, it will only add to our troubles. It won't be of any substantial help in solving the problem..."
