Chapter 243 Going up the mountain with 1
The Gu family was robbed last night, and the news spread very quickly. Within two days, everyone in the entire Gu family village knew about it.
When they heard that the Gu family had been robbed and that all the food in their house had been stolen, some people were gloating, while others were very worried.
The village chief is also worried, as people in the village have started stealing from others.
If they steal from the Gu family today, whose family will it be tomorrow?
When all the families in Gujia Village have nothing to eat, there will be no more food to steal. What will they eat then?
The village chief couldn't imagine it. He thought of the escape more than 20 years ago. If it really came to that, he couldn't imagine what people would do when they had no food.
When the village chief arrived at the Gu family's house, he saw Gu Dachui sitting in the courtyard.
When Gu Dachui saw the village chief arrive, he asked Xiao Chunhua, who was playing nearby, to bring out a stool.
The village chief quickly said, "No need to go, no need to go. I'll just say a few words and leave. There's no need to sit on the stool..."
After he finished speaking, he turned to look at Gu Dachui, then looked at the main room, and asked, "The house was robbed of everything a few nights ago?"
"Uncle, why would you ask that? Do you think we would lie and deliberately tell someone something to deceive them?"
"Big Hammer, Big Hammer, don't get excited, don't get excited, that's not what I meant, I just wanted to say..."
"Whether it's true or not, you have to stick to the fact that everything was stolen. No matter who asks, you have to tell them everything was stolen."
"Take good care of your younger siblings, and don't sleep too soundly at night. Remember what I said?"
Upon hearing this, Gu Dachui was stunned for a moment. After recovering, he looked at the village chief and said, "Uncle, you..."
"What do you mean, 'what ...'? Did you remember what I just said?"
“Your father’s only descendants are you and your siblings, and you are their eldest brother. As the eldest brother, you must fulfill your responsibilities.”
"You must take good care of your younger siblings, especially the two little ones. You must keep a close eye on them, understand?"
Gu Dachui nodded, indicating that he had remembered. He wanted to ask something else, but the village chief was clearly unwilling to say more.
He waved goodbye and left the Gu family.
Hua Niang and the others heard what the village chief said. The four women sat in the room, looking at each other's faces.
"Yichun Garden is gone, and Honglan is definitely not inside, so what should we do next..."
"Didn't you say you were going to stay here?"
Hongxiu wanted to stay here; she loved life here, especially when teaching the two little girls poetry and songs.
"Do you think we don't want to stay here? The key question is, can we even stay here?"
Hongxiu lowered her head upon hearing this. Hongmei patted Hongxiu and then glared at Honglin.
Honglin wasn't afraid of Hongmei's glare, and besides, she was telling the truth.
The entire Gu family village is out of food, and they've been reduced to stealing food in the middle of the night. If they stay in the Gu family village, it's only a matter of time before they eat the entire village dry.
Putting aside the fact that the Gu family has already been robbed of everything, even if they hadn't, with so many people in the family, how could outsiders not see that something was amiss?
"But if we want to leave, where can we go?"
Hongxiu asked them their biggest problem, and just when the four women couldn't figure it out, Xiaoyuanlian's voice chimed in.
"I know a place we can go, but I don't know if you'd be willing to go."
Hearing the voice, the four women turned to look at the little round face who had walked in.
"You know a place? You're just a little girl, how would you know where that is? You don't mean you want us to come home with you, do you?"
"Sister Honglin, you've misunderstood. I don't have the guts to take you back to my home. The place I'm talking about is up in the mountains..."
Little Round Face told her everything she knew. After listening, Red Phosphorus looked at Little Round Face in shock: "Wow, Little Bell, I thought you were an honest girl, but I didn't expect you to be so fierce!"
They actually dared to let them come up the mountain with them, and there was a group of bandits on that mountain. Wasn't this just making the four of them become bandit wives?
Little Round Face blushed after hearing what Red Phosphorus said. She lowered her head and said in a muffled voice, "There's only that one place left right now."
"Besides that place, I don't know of any other places. If my sisters don't want to go, then I'll..."
"So you're planning to go alone?"
"Go to a bandit's den, marry a bandit, become his bandit wife, and then have a whole litter of little bandits?"
Honglin's words became increasingly outrageous, to the point that Xiaoyuan couldn't even lift her head.
Flower Girl glared at Red Phosphorus: "Miss Bell, are you planning to come with us?"
The little round-faced girl nodded: "If the older sisters want to go, I can lead the way. If the older sisters don't want to go, then I'll go by myself."
She expressed her thoughts, but Hua Niang frowned and looked at the little round face without saying a word for a moment.
After a while, she asked, "Girl Bell, can you tell me why you're going?"
Why didn't she stay at the Gu family's house? Why did she go to the bandits' den? Didn't she know that a young girl like her would be easily bullied if she went to such a place alone?
Little Round Face knew all this, and when she heard the question, she hesitated for a moment, but still told the truth after some hesitation.
She said she had been to that bandit's den, and after she came back, the village wouldn't accept her anymore.
So she came to the Gu family and was taken in by Lin Cai, where she lived ever since.
But this is not her own home after all, and she can't live here forever.
After hearing what Little Round Face said, Red Phosphorus pinched his chin, thought for a moment, and then said, "Didn't you want to pursue that stupid leopard Lin Bao?"
"Why don't you want to pursue him anymore? Don't you like him anymore?"
Honglin's question made Xiaoyuan face turn bright red again. She lowered her head and shook her head: "It's not that I don't like it, it's that I'm not worthy."
She has nothing now; everything she eats, wears, and uses comes from his sister's family. Under such circumstances, what right does she have to pursue him?
Red phosphorus doesn't think so, and neither does Red Plum.
Both women believed that if they liked someone, they should pursue them first and then figure out the rest, regardless of their own circumstances. They should win the person over and then work things out together.
Otherwise, if you keep looking back and forth like this, by the time the man becomes someone else's man, what's the point of pursuing him then?
Now that they had a place to go, and since Little Round Face also wanted to go, Hua Niang decided to go up the mountain with them.
Lin Cai was a little surprised when she heard them say they were leaving and that Xiao Yuanlian wanted to go with them. She wanted to ask Xiao Yuanlian if she didn't want her goal anymore.
