As the saying goes, it is easier to be an official

if you have connections in the court. For the lower-class people in the feudal era, if someone in the family has connections with the government, then they will have more confidence whether they are doing business or working outside.

Especially for those large families who are all stationed in the same place.

As long as they have connections with the government, they can basically live a much better life than the poor people in the local area.

However, once the backer falls, these people who were originally well-off will feel that their lives are not as good as before.

After the accidental death of Captain Huang, the living standard of Gu Yu'an's family, which was originally thriving, has really dropped a lot compared to before. After

Chen Xuanxuan traveled through time, except for the first six months when she suffered a lot, she could guarantee three meals a day at other times, and she could eat snacks or fruits every three to five days.

But now, it really came true that when someone leaves, the tea gets cold.

As soon as Captain Huang left, Chen Xuanxuan found that no one was protecting her family's business.

The business of the small shop in the county town seemed to be worse than before.

The most important thing was that some ruffians dared to come to the door at this time.

Chen Xuanxuan was really forced to do so, so she asked Gu Yanzhang to find her mother to ask for advice on how to deal with it.

Old lady Liu told Gu Yanzhang to sell the shop in the county town as soon as possible.

It is okay to sell it at a low price.

Take the money back home as soon as possible.

Use it directly to build a new house.

In this way, no one would care about the money he earned from selling the shop.

Gu Yanzhang initially thought that his mother-in-law was speaking lightly.

Especially Gu Yu'an, when he first heard the old lady Liu's admonition, he scolded his son for being short-sighted.

However, when he heard his son say that the small shop in the county town was really about to close down. Because every morning when they opened the door of their shop, it used to stink. They didn't know when someone had smeared their shit on it... During the day, some hooligans came to ask them for money. Gu Yu'an then slowly realized that the old lady Liu might have anticipated this situation from the beginning...

With the help of the old lady Liu, Gu Yanzhang sold the shop at a price that did not lose money.

...

Gu Yanzhang's family returned to their hometown in disgrace and did not continue to do business in the county town. The whole Gujiagang people were shocked by this. Some people

really care about this matter.

After all, Gu Yanzhang had been going to the county town every day in the past few years, doing business everywhere, and he really helped a lot of people.

Many people took advantage of Gu Yanzhang's family.

More people were brought to the county town by Gu Yanzhang. Some, with Gu Yanzhang's guarantee, worked as waiters or cooks in some inns or restaurants.

Some people even found a stable job at the dock. They could carry bags and unload goods every day.

Others also followed Gu Yanzhang to do business in the county town every day. Some

sold vegetables on their shoulders, some sold buns at stalls, and some sold baked cakes and crispy biscuits on the street...

Anyone who could seize the opportunity and follow Gu Yanzhang's family to do business in the past few years basically made a small fortune.

Regardless of how much money they made, their lives were at least much better than before.

Some people with clear minds knew that the main reason for such a big change in their family was due to Gu Yanzhang's family. The

reason why Gu Yanzhang's family could have such a big change was ultimately due to Captain Huang in the county.

Now that Captain Huang is dead, Gu Yanzhang's family was immediately affected.

If Gu Yanzhang's family can no longer benefit from Captain Huang's family, then will those of them who followed them to drink meat soup still be able to smell the meat in the future? !

Thinking of such a powerful relationship, those people couldn't sit still. They

went directly to Gu Yanzhang's house to inquire about Captain Huang.

What would Gu Yanzhang think of their inquiries?

These days, he has been so busy with his family affairs that he is dizzy and sometimes he has to suppress his father who is making trouble again.

Now that there are so many people surrounding him, asking him this and that, he feels really unhappy.

After reluctantly responding to them and sending them out in a bad mood, Gu Yanzhang is going to find his wife and have a few words with her.

Gu Yanzhang has long realized that in this family, the only one who can give him advice and help him solve problems is his wife. If he loses his mind one day and asks his father for advice, he will really be asking for trouble.

Just when he was about to go back to his room, his father stopped him.

"Brother Yan, stop right there!"

"..."

Gu Yanzhang felt unhappy when he heard his father's familiar voice.

"Dad, how many times do you want me to say these things?!"

"I've told you countless times in the past few days that this matter has nothing to do with my wife! Captain Huang is old and wants to die. How could this matter be related to my wife?"

Gu Yanzhang said conscientiously that he felt that his father was really annoying.

Because some of his father's ideas were really strange.

He couldn't understand it. Captain Huang died, and it wasn't his wife who killed him. Why did his father always say that his wife was lucky?

...

... Gu Yu'an saw that he was furious, and he was confused.

At this time, why did this son still protect that woman?

A lot of things happened in his family recently.

Gu Yu'an had no choice but to secretly take the family members to have their fortunes told.

The fortune-teller said that the reason his family encountered these things was because of bad luck and there was a disaster star in the family!

When Gu Yu'an heard this, he immediately thought of his daughter-in-law who was greedy

, lazy and mischievous every day. Isn't a daughter-in-law like that a disaster star? !

Whenever Gu Yu'an thought about his son and his daughter-in-law, this disaster star, eating, living, drinking and sleeping together every day, he was particularly worried.

He couldn't sleep well at night.

He was worried that his daughter-in-law's life would become harder and harder.

If she was such a disaster, like her mother, and killed his man alive, who would he rely on in the future? !

Gu Yu'an thought about it and couldn't help but say what was in his heart.

When Gu Yanzhang heard what he said, he was shocked.

"Dad, what's the big deal? What nonsense are you talking about?"
