Chapter 321 70 The last wish of the cute father and daughter 2
Chang'an returned to Gu Laoliu's hands, and the captain and his wife started arguing at the door.
It was a snowy day and everyone had nothing to do at home, so when they heard the noise they all ran out to watch the fun. Even a one-year-old baby was brought out by his parents.
The captain's face was extremely ugly. He roared: "He is my brother. Can I watch him freeze to death? Besides, isn't the ration he gets from me? When have I ever touched your and the child's ration?"
"You would rather save food for outsiders than for your own family. What does it have to do with you whether he lives or dies? You want to force us five people to death. Everyone, please judge for yourself. Who would endlessly support an outsider like him?"
Aunt Gu was really sad and cried until she was out of breath.
"Did I starve you? Every time I eat the leftovers, I wait until you are full. You should speak with conscience," the captain was so angry that he was shaking all over.
Gu Laoliu said weakly: "Don't be angry, sister-in-law, we won't go in. Third brother, do you think there are any empty houses in the village? Please arrange one for us two to spend the winter first."
"What are your intentions? You want to retreat in order to advance, you want everyone to pity you, and let everyone accuse me of being ignorant, right?" Aunt Gu felt that Gu Laoliu was blocking her way, forcing her to agree to let them move in.
Changan, Gu Laoliu: ??? Are you kidding? They didn't plan to live in the captain's house, and they don't like living with strangers.
"No, my daughter and I never thought of living in your house. If my third brother hadn't taken my daughter away, I wouldn't have followed him."
"Are you saying that your third brother is meddling in other people's business? He shouldn't have gone to save you. He should have buried you and put an end to it so that he wouldn't have to worry about you every day."
This person was impossible to communicate with. Gu Laoliu didn't want to say anything more to her. He turned to look at the team leader and said, "Brother, you don't have to make any arrangements for us. We will find it ourselves."
Some of the onlookers disliked the captain's wife, "Changping's wife, why are you so vicious? If you think like this, if something happens to you in the future, no one will help you, and it will be over once and for all."
"That's right, did Lao Liu provoke you? Do you want them both to die so much?"
"Old Sixth didn't eat your food in vain. Every time he picked up pheasant eggs or wild rabbits in the mountains, he and his father would not bear to eat them themselves and would send them all to your house. If he had some wild fruits, he would share half of them with the four brothers Jiancheng."
An old man said leisurely: "That's why she can take advantage of others, but others can't take advantage of her family, otherwise they are shameless and deserve to die."
Some people also sided with Aunt Gu, thinking that the team leader was confused. How could he save food rations to help outsiders? How could he make ends meet? But they didn't say it out loud, fearing that they would be attacked by the crowd.
Aunt Gu opened her mouth but couldn't refute, because what they said was true. Her family had also eaten a lot of the things sent by Lao Liu. If he used those things to exchange for food with others, the father and daughter would not be full, but they would not starve to death.
But she just felt unbalanced. Why did Gu Changping always think about others? Shouldn't the food he saved be used for his wife and children?
"They don't live in your house," said Aunt Gu, who has difficulty walking. She walked slowly over with the help of a crutch and her eldest grandson.
She tapped the ground with her cane and looked down at Aunt Gu, looking a little arrogant and disdainful.
"Mom, it's so cold, why did you come out? Don't catch a cold," the captain hurriedly stepped forward to take the mother from the nephew's arms, wanting to help her go into the house to rest.
Aunt Gu patted his hand and said, "Don't bother. I'll pick up Liu'er and his father and go back."
"Mom, you live with my older brother and younger brother. There are so many people and not enough rooms, so where can we accommodate them? Let them live here. We happen to have an empty room."
"Come on, come on, I'm going to live here and watch your wife turn her face away?"
The team leader opened his mouth but was speechless. Among the three brothers in his family, he was not the only one who helped his cousin, his two older brothers also often helped.
To be honest, the three brothers contributed greatly to the fact that Laoliu became a famous lazy man in the village.
Chopping wood, fetching water, and cleaning were all done by the eldest and second brothers to help their cousin. The eldest and second sisters-in-law were always happy to help, and I've never heard them complain. Only his family quarreled every few days because of their cousin.
The captain rubbed his forehead. He couldn't really divorce Zhao Pandi. His four sons were already so grown up. How could they get divorced just because of a quarrel?
Gu Laoliu thought that it was a good thing that he changed the plane information in time, otherwise these people would call him a idiot and brainwash him, and he would think that he was also a idiot. What should he do?
He rejected Aunt Gu's kindness and said, "Aunt, don't worry. There should be some vacant rooms in the village. We can just live there. It's not convenient for my eldest and second brothers, so we won't bother them."
The father of the original owner, Er Laizi, was a brother of Aunt Gu’s husband from the same mother. His parents died when he was three years old.
Erlaizi was raised by Aunt Gu herself and was treated like her own son. His three older brothers truly treated him like their own younger brother and he was also very good to them.
In most people's eyes, he is a top class person, but in the eyes of the Gu brothers, he is a silly and very well-behaved younger brother.
Erlaizi was also a grateful person. As long as he got something delicious, he would send it to his three brothers' homes, even if it was just a small share for each of them.
His real name is Gu Changyin. When he was a child, he got sick and white spots appeared on his face. So everyone gave him the nickname Laizi. Later, Laizi replaced his name and he has been called that until now.
The white spots on his face miraculously healed after he had a serious illness, but everyone got used to calling him Er Laizi and never changed the name.
Seeing that Gu Laoliu really refused to go to anyone's house, the team leader had no choice but to arrange an empty house for him.
"Only the old landlord's house has two rooms that can be lived in. The snow was heavy this year and all the thatched houses were crushed."
The old landlord's house was at the west end of the village. It was originally a large courtyard house, but it was smashed and demolished by those people a few years ago. The old landlord had only one daughter.
Later, because she insisted on marrying far away, she had a falling out with the old landlord and had no news from him for more than 20 years after leaving Xiaohuai Village. A few years ago, the old landlord was seriously injured and died on the spot, leaving behind two dilapidated houses buried in the weeds.
"It's good enough for you to stay, aunt. I'll come to see you after I'm settled. You should go home and have a good rest. It's cold and the road is slippery, so please walk slowly on your way back."
"Okay, I'll ask your eldest brother and second brother to help you clear the snow over there."
The old lady picked up her walking stick and left, ready to help Gu Laoliu call for volunteers.
The original owner's good nephew said naively: "Uncle San, please wait a moment. I will send my grandma back first. I will take the tools and help you sweep the snow and clean up the house. You have nothing in your hands now, so don't bother, otherwise you will be buried in the snow again."
After saying that, he trotted to catch up with Aunt Gu, and stopped in front of her, "Grandma, I'll carry you back."
From what he said, the original owner had been buried many times. What kind of fool is he?
The team leader took a shovel and a broom and went to the old landlord's house with Gu Laoliu and Chang'an.
Changan finally discovered that the original owner's father was the darling of the old Gu family. No wonder he was able to marry a wife and he didn't look like a lecher.
