Chapter 220 Gu Yongwen's Purpose 2
Chapter 220 Gu Yongwen's Purpose 2
After witnessing the destructive power of the refugees outside the village, the patrol members of Baijia Village became much more vigilant than before. Even though Gu Yongwen was someone they knew and even though he claimed to be an official sent by the county government, the patrol members still insisted on reporting the matter to Bai Lizheng for a decision first.
Although they were also very nervous, fearing that they might offend Gu Yongwen who was said to be about to become an official, the training and rules that Gu Wenxuan had given them over the past period of time eventually overcame their fear of Gu Yongwen.
So although everyone tried to explain to Gu Yongwen in a kind way, they were still unwilling to remove the obstacles at the entrance of the village and let their family into the village.
Gu Yongwen was so angry that he was fuming. He had originally planned to drive the carriage directly into the village, and then in front of all the villagers, he would trample on Gu Wenxuan's family. Now, he even revealed the news that he was about to become an official in the county government, and this group of untouchables still refused to make way for him. How could he tolerate this?
His face visibly changed from smug to angry. His parents, wife and children were also very annoyed. When they saw Gu Wenxuan rushing over and the villagers who had previously stopped them from entering actually sent representatives to ask Gu Wenxuan for help in making a decision, their feeling of being despised and offended became even stronger.
However, Gu Wenxuan did not take away Bai Lizheng's job just because the visitor was someone she knew. When she found out that there were no refugees attacking the village, she and Bai Jingzhou did not intervene immediately.
The patrol team member who came over to ask for their opinions only got one reply from Gu Wenxuan, "Wait for Bai Lizheng's decision."
Soon, most of the villagers, including Gu Yongming, Jia Guizhi and other members of the Gu family, braved the north wind and rushed to the village entrance without fear of the severe cold.
Most of the people here were there to watch the show, but a small number of them were worried that something might happen to Gu Yongwen's family, so they came over to see what was going on.
The performance of Gu Yongwen's family did not disappoint the villagers' expectations. After they made a fuss at the entrance of the village without any result, Gu Yongwen sat back in the carriage and used a hot water bottle to warm his hands and feet.
His wife took over Gu Yongwen's position and became the one who showed off desperately.
Gu Yongwen's eldest son Gu Song, youngest son Gu Yue, and youngest daughter Gu Xiu hid behind the half-open car door. The expressions on their faces could not be seen by others, but the villagers could see the good clothes they were wearing.
Someone whispered, "Aren't there four children in his family?"
Gu Wenxuan sneered. The villagers didn't know, but she knew that Gu Yongwen's "official position" was actually obtained by selling his eldest daughter Gu Hui.
The stupid son of the county magistrate is his youngest son, thirteen years old this year. Because a high fever when he was young damaged his brain, he has always had cognitive impairment. He also often talks nonsense and is emotionally unstable. He loses his temper and throws things almost every day.
Not to mention the servants in his family, he would beat his parents, brother, sister-in-law and nephew at will.
Although his mother arranged for a strong servant to follow him for a long time so that he would not really threaten the personal safety of other people in the family, her approach was obviously not suitable for his future wife.
The county magistrate's wife still hopes that her son can have a few children of his own, so that when she and her husband grow old and die, there will be someone to take care of him. Gu Hui will definitely become a real couple with him in the future.
Who would be willing to marry a good girl who is a fool and always loses his temper, hits people and throws things?
Of course, Gu Hui had fought back, but how could she win over the elders at home? She just made a scene at home, and her parents locked her up.
She even had difficulty leaving her room, so when Gu Yongwen and the others returned to the village this time, she naturally would not be among them.
Of course, neither Gu Yongwen, nor his wife or parents would talk about these things.
They talked eloquently and incessantly about how great Gu Yongwen was, saying that not only had he passed the imperial examination to become a scholar, but that he was also about to become an official.
After hearing the second half of Gu Yongwen's wife's boasting, the Gu family members all looked very solemn. Based on their understanding of Gu Yongwen's family, this family was born to be bullies.
Once something happens, they dare not target outsiders, but will definitely be the first to harm those around them who are close to them.
Even though the outside world is in such chaos now, they still come back to Baijia Village with their families to show off their power. It is obvious that their purpose is not just to show off in front of them.
The Gu family guessed that this group of bad guys were most likely targeting them again.
How could ordinary people not be afraid of officials? Even though they knew that Gu Yongwen's "official" position would not be very high, the problem was that even if he was just an ordinary yamen runner, ordinary people like them could not afford to provoke him.
The other members of the Gu family had serious expressions on their faces, but Gu Wenxuan did not show any sign of fear at all.
When more people gathered, Gu Yongwen came out of the carriage again. He stood at the entrance of the village and, together with his parents and wife, he patiently reiterated how great their family was now.
The most speechless thing is that not only did they keep repeating the same things over and over again, but they also had to interact in a mean way with Gu Wenxuan who was watching their performance with her arms folded and coldly watching them.
They wanted to see expressions of shock, panic, regret, flattery, etc. on Gu Wenxuan's face, but what Gu Wenxuan gave them in return was always indifferent and unmoved.
When the other party cued her, she would just remain calm and speak sarcastically to the other party.
"Oh, so what?"
"Does what you said have anything to do with our family?"
"Anyway, I won't let you enter the village. If you dare, just rush in and bite me!"
"..."
The look on her face was so intense that not only Gu Yongwen's family but even Bai Lizheng felt that she was really irritating.
Bai Lizheng whispered to Gu Wenxuan, "Don't confront them directly, or your family will suffer in the future."
Gu Wenxuan whispered back, "If I hadn't confronted them, my family would be in big trouble now."
Bai Li was hoping for the best. "This... they can't just bully people in broad daylight without a proper excuse, right?"
Gu Wenxuan, "You don't believe it? Then I'll try it for you now."
After saying that, she looked at Gu Yongwen and the others whose faces turned blue because of her anger, "Stop talking nonsense and just tell me what you want to do. The world is so chaotic now. Unless your family's brains have been squeezed by the door at least three times, I don't think you will return to the village just to show off."
Gu Yongwen took a deep breath and tried to calm himself down. He said, "Wenxuan, although our two families have had conflicts, in the end, we are a family after all. Now that my family has become prosperous, the first thing I think of is to support you."
