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

Chapter 77 077. Gu Family Affairs

"Brother," Bai Suihe stood up and greeted him, "Kaiyuan went to collect firewood. What can I do for you?"

Gu Kaiping frowned, "Why did you ask Kaiyuan to collect firewood? Don't you have four people waiting on you?"

"What are you talking about, big brother? With our current status, how dare we have anyone to serve us?

It was Dongmei and Chunxiang who took pity on us and gave us a place to stay, and also helped us solve our food problem. Kaiyuan and I will always remember these kindnesses and will of course do what we can to help."

Bai Suihe finished speaking and raised the vegetable leaves in his hand, "Look, I'm also learning how to do things.

After all, you can't rely on others for everything if you have good hands and feet.

When we are exiled, if I don’t know how to do anything, I won’t be able to survive in Lingnan.”

Gu Kaiping didn't expect that he would be lectured after asking a question. He didn't know how to respond.

He wanted to blame Bai Suihe, but this was not something that an uncle like him could do.

I felt a little regretful. If I had known Gu Kaiyuan was not here, I should have asked Liu Yun to come over.

"Are you really going to go with them in the future? Don't you think about your parents?" He wanted to turn around and leave, but couldn't help it, and finally asked.

Bai Suihe blinked, "Walking with my family, is there any place for me?

Besides, why don’t we think about our parents?

We can save food for our families and leave seats for you to sit here, so is there something we are not doing well enough?"

Gu Kaiping said, "But family members should help each other. I see you have a carriage here. Can you bring my parents over to protect them from the cold wind?

The cold dew is heavy tonight. What if the two old people get sick from the cold?

Bai Suihe was a little embarrassed. She looked at Dongmei and said, "I wonder if you..."

"Miss," Chunxiang said righteously, "We are free now, and since you have taken care of us before, we will take you and your uncle along.

We are all willing to serve you, but please don't serve others, we don't want to.

Besides, you don't care about your own health, but we have to think about the lady. She only has you as her daughter. If we don't take good care of you, how will we have the face to see those old friends in the Bai Mansion in the future?

Others can’t get cold, but you can?”

After saying that, Chunxiang turned to look at Gu Kaiping and said, "Master Gu, we are no longer slaves of the Gu family. This ox cart is also our private property. People who are not related to us should not think about it."

Gu Kaiping's face flushed red after hearing this. He also had to save face, and it was simply treasonous to be pointed at and scolded by the little girl in the past.

But he couldn't do anything to the other party, and he felt even more uncomfortable holding his breath.

Seeing Gu Kaiping turn around and leave, Bai Suihe was thinking in his heart that it was not a good idea for the Gu family to keep pestering him like this. He had to think of a long-term plan, otherwise every time he stopped to eat, these people would come up and pester him, which would really affect his mood.

There were six of them, and three of them were strong laborers. They cooked a big pot full of dough dumplings, but they were still worried about whether it would be enough to eat. If not, they could only eat some pastries to fill their stomachs.

Every household was busy, and except for a few families, many people did not go to collect the two steamed buns that were rationed each time.

The escorts were accustomed to such situations.

They allowed these people to buy their own things in order to save their daily rations. Although it was not much, every little bit counted, and each person had a large family to support. If these people were well, they would not cause trouble on the road, otherwise they would be half-dead and slow down the progress.

The journey is more than a thousand kilometers. How can we have the energy to travel without eating enough?

Don’t say that it’s easy now with a car. The road will become more difficult as you go further.

Sometimes when encountering continuous uphill slopes, the person has to push the bike.

In such a small valley, there are dozens of campfires, and the air is filled with fragrance.

It seems that the women in the inner palaces of ancient times learned a lot. Although they had some difficulties at the beginning, they were still able to cook well.

Gu Family

Xu Huizhen gave Liu Yun a bowl of rice and asked her to cook a big pot of porridge. The staple food was the black steamed buns distributed by the bailiff.

"Is this what we're eating today?" I finally had some hot food and thought it would be noodles at worst, but it turned out to be porridge, and it was so watery at that.

"Mom, didn't we buy half a bag of noodles? Why do we have to cook porridge?" Gu Kaiping was also a little puzzled. He had basically been pulling the ox cart downstairs and was now tired and hungry.

"It's good enough to have porridge to eat. With the little money you gave me, I don't know how long it will last.

Anyway, we were all sitting on ox carts and not doing any heavy work, so as long as we didn’t starve to death, that was all that mattered.”

Gu Kaiping felt a little aggrieved, "Mom, have you forgotten that I've been gone all day?"

He is the boss, he dare not cry out or complain, but that doesn't mean he doesn't cherish himself.

If this continues, his body will collapse in a few days.

He was also thinking about returning to his post with his father in the future and making great achievements.

"I left you two of the steamed buns I bought this morning. Don't eat the rest." Xu Huizhen certainly saw Gu Kaiping's efforts. This eldest son, who was placed with everyone's hopes, was indeed the most supportive person in the family.

"Mom, what about me?" Gu Kaichen also squeezed over. He had been massaging legs for half a day today. Even if he didn't get any credit, he had worked hard.

"Tomorrow you can exchange with your elder brother, and I will give you two big steamed buns." Xu Huizhen covered the bag. Things are different now than before. She can't let herself be fooled by this kid again.

"By the way, Kaiping, didn't you go to see that unfilial son? What did he say?"

"I didn't see my third brother. He went to collect firewood. I'll look for him later."

"That unfilial son had to park the car so far away. He was guarding against us." Xu Huizhen wanted to know what the Bai family were going to eat today.

"Go over there, what is Bai doing?"

"I'm picking vegetables." Gu Kaiping saw Gu Anliang coming back with a pile of firewood, and hurried over to help take it. He said to him with some praise, "Well done, our family should work together."

"But, Dad, I don't want to pick up firewood. Those places are smelly and there are bugs." Gu Anliang would definitely be happy to hear compliments in the past, but he doesn't need them now.

What he needed were clean clothes, delicious food, and servants who served him wholeheartedly.

"That can't be helped. You're already a little man now," Gu Kaichen said, sitting up straight. "You're also the eldest grandson in the family. You have to set a good example for your younger brother."

Gu Anliang pointed at Gu Anwei, who was sitting there in a daze. "I'm only two years older than my brother, and he's about the same height as me. Why doesn't he have to work?"
