Seeing them crying like they were mourning a death, the uncles and aunts in Gujiagang who liked to stay at the village entrance and gossip about other people every day, now ran to Gu Yanzhang's house in unison like flies seeing meat.

"Oh my, oh my, what happened? What happened? Did something big happen to Brother Yan's family?"

"Tsk tsk tsk, I knew it! I've known for a long time that their family is unlucky! In the past, I was quite jealous of their family and thought they lived a good life. But now look at his family, ever since that incident happened in the county and their backer, Captain Huang, fell, there has been no one in his family anymore..."

Seeing with their own eyes that Gu Yanzhang's family was crying like crazy, the villagers were as happy as if they had eaten meat in broad daylight.

"What a sin, it's really a sin! You said they all had a good life in class, why did their wives run away?..."

"Yes, yes, I think that Miss Chen is just like his mother. She has a lover outside and doesn't want the family anymore... I don't know what kind of man he found this time..."

Some people didn't say what they didn't want to say.

Especially those older masters, they really think that if the man that Gu Yanzhang's wife found outside is more powerful than Captain Huang, then they will definitely stay away and never say bad things about their family again.

But if...

if Gu Yanzhang's wife is looking for a man outside just for money, then this is something wrong with their whole family.

Many people have very simple logic no matter what they say or do.

They just like to bully the weak and fear the strong.

Suppose Gu Yanzhang's family suddenly finds a powerful family, then their fellow villagers, even some villagers who are related to him by blood, will definitely bring a lot of gifts, run to their house to congratulate them, and ask them for help.

At that time, those who are short of money or want to ask others to do things will benefit from it.

However, if Gu Yanzhang's family continued to live like this, and their lives were not much better than theirs, many villagers would instinctively choose to watch their jokes more.

Even when Gu Yanzhang's family was in trouble, some of the unscrupulous people among them would choose to add insult to injury.

...

Gu Yanzhang had lived in this village for more than 30 years, and he knew the temperaments and various problems of the people in the village very well. Seeing

these familiar faces in front of him and hearing their words that showed concern for him openly and made fun of him secretly, he took a deep breath and then started talking nonsense seriously.

"I'd like to thank all the uncles, aunts and grandmas for their concern."

"Don't worry, my daughter-in-law is the most virtuous. A few days ago, she heard my father say that there was no food at home, so she took the children and ran back to her parents' home. Before leaving, she didn't take anything from the house, just to save some food for me. ... I'm a man now, and there's no one to support my wife and children. This is my dereliction of duty, and I feel very ashamed! These days I was thinking about whether I should go to the county town to do odd jobs and earn more money. I never thought that I would happen to see my father taking bags of food out of the house today..."

When the villagers present heard this, they were immediately shocked.

What happened?

Wasn't his family so poor that they had no food to eat?

How could he still take out bags of food?

"Brother Yan, you have to make yourself clear today! Doesn't your family have no money and no food?"

Before Gu Yanzhang could say anything, Gu Dazhu jumped out first and said excitedly, "Who said this?" "

A few years ago, our family saved a lot of money and food by relying on the land from the government. Although most of it has been spent in the past few days, we still have some savings."

"Wuwuwu..." When Gu Dazhu said this, it was as if he had encountered something particularly sad and incomprehensible. His eyes turned red, he covered his face and cried loudly.

"Wow, wow, we never imagined that our whole family had to live frugally, and even my mother and younger brother were driven out by grandpa... and the last bit of food our family had saved was actually lent to those people by grandpa..."

When the people in the village heard the news, some were shocked, and some looked suddenly enlightened.

"Oh my God, no wonder my neighbors have been eating and drinking well every day recently. What's more, you don't know, the family of the big tumor guy is eating white flour every day, which is the only thing I have eaten in decades..."

"Tsk tsk tsk, stupid! Really stupid! The property I saved with great difficulty was actually given to outsiders. ... How could this family be so stupid?"

"Yeah, yeah..."

Gu Yanzhang sighed helplessly on the spot when he saw the group of people in front of him were filled with indignation.

"Dear grandpas, uncles and aunts..., I actually don't know about this family matter..."

"But you should also know that even if I knew, I can't do anything to my father. After all, if I don't hand over the keys to the house to him and don't let him do this and that, he will shout to the world that I am an unfilial person..."

"I'm suffering, my heart is suffering! Over the years, I have worked hard for this family. All the money I earned was used to support the whole family, and all was enough to give to my father. I don't even know what my father will do..."

After Gu Yanzhang said this, he burst into tears and snot.

Some villagers who were jealous of him, especially his peers, saw him in such a miserable state and crying so sadly, and they immediately felt sympathy in their hearts.

Tsk tsk tsk, Gu Yanzhang is lucky to marry a wife with some power, so what? !

With such a troublesome old father, his so-called good luck is actually just that good...

When they thought of his biological father who had kicked his wife out of the house half a month ago, his peers who had wives and children couldn't help but feel a little proud and complacent.

Hahahaha, if Gu Yanzhang can't protect his current wife, then he won't be able to marry a new wife in the future.

When they thought about the fact that Gu Yanzhang would be single for such a long time for the rest of his life, the expressions on those men's faces became even more proud.
