Carrying the little lucky star, leading the villain on the road to exile

Chapter 267 267. Tamura
“You’ll have to ask the village chief about that,” Su Daquan said sharply. “You shouldn’t be soft-hearted because of women. The village chief will give you all the instructions. Now drive your cars over there and park them properly. I’ll measure your land according to your household registration.”

As they spoke, they entered the village, and the people who were busy in the fields all gathered around curiously.

They knew what the village chief was going to do, but there were far too many people he brought. So many people were coming to share the land and take away their food rations, and everyone's eyes were filled with disgust.

But with police officers present and so many people on the other side, they had no choice but to keep their opinions to themselves, even if they had objections.

As soon as Bai Suihe got off the train, she noticed that many people were staring at her.

Bai Suihe simply looked back openly, but to her surprise, everyone looked away when they saw her look back.

"This is Tamura?" Bai Suihe was certain that this village was not described in the book. The plot was starting to go astray, and she wondered if the Gu family would still be able to return to Beijing as scheduled.

"See if there's a place you like, and we can settle down there." Gu Kaiyuan knew that he couldn't leave here anytime soon, so he decided to make the most of his time.

"Anywhere is fine, just find a place far away from people." Bai Suihe looked around. This village didn't seem to be very united. Each house was a bit far apart. But that was fine. Everyone could live their own lives and not let small things become the talk of the neighborhood.

As for neighborly relations? Bai Suihe felt that it could be left to fate. Even if she and Gu Kaiyuan really wanted to find a place to settle down, they could buy a manor in the future. This was just a temporary measure, and there was no need to force themselves to suffer.

Gu Kaiyuan also had this idea, but seeing such a large group of people, he realized that he needed to carefully consider the position, and it probably wouldn't be so easy.

The two decided to choose a secluded spot and weren't in a hurry to compete with them. They watched as the villagers surveyed the terrain and scrambled for land, while they leisurely strolled around the village.

Others didn't understand what the couple was thinking. At this hour, did they still think they were on a spring outing?
However, no one reminded them that everyone wanted to grab a good spot.

The Gu clan members are probably the most hardworking and knowledgeable about agriculture among them. They have already dispersed to see which land is more fertile and which is more suitable for reclamation.

Since they didn't know how long they would be staying there, Gu Baijiang and his two sons also chose a spot for themselves.

"Dad, why didn't you choose the place at the village entrance?" Gu Kaichen never expected that his grandfather would choose the house in the middle of the village. The land there had already been cleared out, and no one had chosen the middle plot because it had a lot of loose stones.

"The village entrance? If you think it's good, then you can live there with Xu Shi and your son." Gu Baijiang didn't even want to talk to this stupid son. After chasing him all the way, didn't he have any idea what was going on?

If we just stay at the village entrance, we won't even have a chance to run away if something happens.

“Father, I don’t want to separate from the family,” Gu Kaichen said in surprise, quickly expressing his loyalty.

"Hmph! Then just listen to me and do what I'm told. Don't cause me trouble all the time. Keep your own people in check. You're always causing trouble."

Gu Kaichen knew what those words meant, and he was also helpless. He was enjoying the blessing of having two wives, but life didn't seem as comfortable as before.

Xu Yulan doesn't care much about him now, and sometimes she even makes veiled criticisms, let alone tries to persuade him to serve her.

Fan Meibao is already his woman, but these days she's been putting on airs and won't let anyone touch her. She's always hiding behind her mother and sister. Is this what a concubine should be doing?

“Father, as you know, I’m in a difficult position too,” Gu Kaichen complained. “Now there are two women, and I can’t help either of them…” Gu Baijiang looked at him with disdain. “You know your own limitations, yet you still go and provoke Fan Meibao. Since she’s already your woman, you should discipline her as you see fit. If that doesn’t work, have Xu Shi teach her manners.”

"Father, aren't you afraid of Madam Xu..." Gu Kaichen probed. He needed to get some information from his father to know how to deal with Fan Meibao next.

Are you implying that I should marry her?

Gu Kaichen was so frightened that he quickly shook his head, "Father, I have no such idea. I think what my elder brother said these past few days is right. Even if you want to remarry, you should at least find someone presentable."

"When we go back, the head of the household for the women in charge can't be like her."

Gu Baijiang did not correct his son's disrespectful tone towards Xu Shuanghong. In fact, he also looked down on Xu Shuanghong. The romantic relationship they had in the past was only because she was from a respectable family. But now that she was married, she was still restless and would definitely not be able to support a family in the future, or even put his mind at ease.

These days, Xu Shuanghong has been serving her, and although it seems like she's doing it properly, she's already tested her several times, indirectly trying to find out about her family background.

Just as I had guessed, they had indeed come with a purpose.

"Dad, you don't actually want to marry her, do you?" Gu Kaichen asked in a low voice. He had also thought about the possibility of Xu Shuanghong becoming his stepmother.

It might be beneficial to him in the future, but in the long run, it won't be of much benefit.

At that time, Xu Shuanghong will definitely favor Fan Meibao, and the life of Xu and her son in the Gu family will be very difficult.

No matter how despicable he is, she is still his wife and legitimate son; of course, he has to consider their needs.

More importantly, Xu Shuanghong isn't a mother, and between Fan Meibao and him, she'll definitely favor Fan Meibao. What dignity will he have left then?

As for whether he would favor himself at home?

Forget it then. He's also his father's son, and he knows that only when his father is doing well can he get more benefits. It has nothing to do with Xu Shuanghong.

"I promised her before that I would give her an explanation once I settled down," Gu Baijiang asked calmly. "If she becomes your mother, she will definitely favor you a bit because of her daughter."

“Father, my interests are nothing compared to yours. With your status, you can easily find someone better. This Xu woman is not good enough for you.”

Gu Baijiang had never found his son so pleasing to the eye. These words struck a chord with him. He could easily find a young and beautiful second wife. Even if Xu Shuanghong still had some charm, she was just a middle-aged woman. It was fine to change things up occasionally, but it wasn't suitable for him.

"You're right, let's talk about it later."

"Then should we still choose this place?" Gu Kaichen looked around. There were two houses nearby, but they were several hundred meters away. "If others can't choose it, then there must be a problem."

"Whatever the problem, we're just staying here temporarily. If anything happens in the middle of the village, we can handle it appropriately." Once Gu Baijiang made a decision, he didn't intend to change it.
