Chapter 264 How confusing!
"Who? Which bastard lied to us? Who would do this to us? Who is it?"
Enraged, they immediately turned their attention to the unknown person.
"That person is awful, how could he treat us like this?"
If they really do as that person said and offend the Lin family, will they still be able to survive?
It's unclear how long this snow will last. If it continues indefinitely, will they really have any chance of survival?
The thought of what was to come sent chills down many people's spines. All they wanted was to survive; none of them wanted to starve. So, they stood at the Gu family's door and fiercely cursed the person who had taken advantage of them.
Gu Wu's lips twitched when he heard their curses. These people were truly ignorant, pathetic, and pitiful.
Although they were taken advantage of, if it weren't for their husbands, how could they have been so easily manipulated?
If any of them were even slightly intelligent, they wouldn't have come to the Gu family or caused trouble at the Lin family.
If even one of them had a brain, they wouldn't have fallen for that person's scheme so easily, and they wouldn't have offended that person's brother again and again.
It's all their own doing. They were unwilling to take any action and believed whatever others told them. Now that someone has pointed this out for them, they're blaming others for the problem.
They are truly ignorant and foolish, pitiful and pathetic!
Gu Wu, standing on the periphery, shouted, "Hey everyone, can we stop arguing for a bit? My dad needs to talk to you."
Upon hearing the voice, everyone turned around and saw Gu Wu standing on the rock behind them. Some people then remembered that Gu Wu had come to inform them that the village chief wanted to see them.
Seeing that they were all looking over, Gu Wu continued, "I've done everything my father asked me to do. My mission is complete. Please continue..."
After he finished speaking, he jumped off the rock, turned around, and left. The people who came to cause trouble saw him leave like that and then looked back at the Gu family's gate.
Then they followed along. There was no point in making a scene any longer, because they would not only gain nothing, but also offend the Gu family even more.
The guy who called Lin Cai a young widow and told Gu Dachui to kick her out saw that everyone had left and he wanted to sneak away, but he didn't expect to get hit on the leg with a snowball after only a few steps.
He cried out and fell to his knees. He scrambled to his feet, not daring to look back, and left in a flurry.
Scarface watched the man scramble away and burst into laughter, but the others dared not laugh. They just wanted to get away from that laughter as quickly as possible.
Only Gu Dachui frowned: "Who would target us?"
"Whoever is jealous is the one who targets you, but finding such a person is both easy and difficult. It depends on how capable you are."
It wasn't just one or two people who were jealous of the Gu family; it could be said that almost everyone in the entire Gu family village was envious.
In the first half of the year, they lived in a drafty thatched hut, but in the second half of the year, they were sleeping in a house with blue bricks and tiles. Such a transformation is unparalleled in the entire Gujia Village.
They all saw it all: what kind of life the Gu family lived before, what kind of life they lived after, how much money they made in business, and so on... how could they not be envied!
Scarface said that finding that person would require using one's brain, but Lin Cai had no intention of finding that person at all.
She looked at Gu Dachui: "Aren't you doing well these days?"
"Why invite trouble? Who is he? Where is he? What does he have to do with you and me?"
"He wants to harm us..."
"He has brains and hands, don't you? He wants to harm us, don't you know how to fight back?"
Lin Cai looked at Gu Dachui and said, "If you want to protect Chunhua and the others, you need to use your brain instead of asking for outside help for everything."
“I am with you now, living under the same roof, but sooner or later we will be separated.”
"Ershi and Sanhu will get married, and Chunhua will also get married when she grows up. None of us can stay by your side forever."
After Lin Cai finished speaking, she left. Gu Dachui was stunned on the spot. He understood what Lin Cai had said.
Understanding something is one thing, but hearing it now is another.
If it were six months ago, he would definitely have thought that Lin Cai should leave them as soon as possible, and that would be the best thing to do.
But now he doesn't want this woman to leave. He can earn money and support his younger siblings, and he can also support this woman.
He would treat Lin Cai as his own mother and take care of her for the rest of his life.
After leaving the Gu family, those people came to the village chief's house. They all looked dejected. The village chief saw their appearance and asked them questions.
"What's wrong with you all? Why are you all like this? What happened?"
"Sigh!" Upon hearing the village chief's question, someone raised their head, opened their mouth, but said nothing and could only sigh in the end!
Hearing them sigh, the village chief became even more curious, and in the end, Gu Wu told his father the whole story.
After listening to his youngest son's words, the village chief looked at the dejected villagers with a mixture of disappointment and anger: "You're all foolish! You're all really foolish!"
“I asked my son Wu to go and wake you up early this morning, why did you all go to the Gu family together?”
"I already told Wu-ge'er to tell you that it was something important, how could you..."
"Village chief, please stop talking. We regret it too!"
"Yeah, if I'd known it would be like this, I would have just stayed in bed and slept!" At least when I was asleep, I wouldn't have felt hungry.
The village chief looked at them, slapped his thigh, and finally sighed helplessly. Then he asked his youngest son to take out one of the baskets from inside.
"This is what Lin and that boy from the Gu family brought over yesterday and left here. She told me to share all of this food with you..."
Upon hearing that it was food, everyone who had been looking dejected perked up, and they looked at the basket as if they wanted to pounce on it, grab the contents, and take a big bite.
But Gu Wu was right there with a stick in his hand. If someone rushed at him to take it, he would definitely hit them.
Everyone's attention was focused on the food, and no one noticed what the village chief was saying. As he spoke, the village chief could tell from their expressions that they hadn't listened at all.
Then he sighed, told his youngest son to bring out the items, and made them line up to receive them one by one.
