Chapter 147: Family harmony and everything is prosperous
Gu Yongqing was speechless and could only remain silent.
Lin Shuzhen was better at speaking than him, but since Gu Yongming had already brought up what happened back then, how could Lin Shuzhen dare to continue saying "even brothers have to settle accounts clearly"?
The couple was speechless and had to give up. Gu Yongming then turned his attention to his own parents.
"Dad, Mom, these three in my family and these two in my second brother's family are cousins in name, but in fact they are closer than other people's brothers and sisters."
"We adults are so happy that the children have such a good relationship, but we can't artificially divide the family into close relatives just for a little money."
"The same goes for me and my second brother. He is willing to risk his life for me. If I become estranged from him just because of some fields and a few houses, how can I face people in the future?"
Mr. Gu's eyes were slightly red, and he nodded vigorously, "Okay, okay, I'll do as you say."
Li smiled with tears in her eyes, "The greatest blessing for your father and I in this life is to have such good children like you."
Their sons, daughters-in-law, and grandchildren all love their families, are sensible, and value family affection more than interests. If not for this, their family would not have lived a comfortable but poor life for more than ten years.
Gu Wenxuan was not good at dealing with such sentimental occasions, and she gave Gu Yongming a look for help.
Gu Yongming felt both amused and helpless, and took the initiative to take on the responsibility of making his parents laugh.
Unlike the Gu family which has the first and second wives, the head of Bai Jingzhou's family is now his father Bai Chong. Bai Jingzhou has to support the family, so Bai Chong and Ning Cuizhi don't have to worry about fairness or unfairness.
Neither of the adults in the two families revealed their sudden wealth to anyone else. Even the children in the family were repeatedly warned by their elders not to tell anyone about their newly purchased farm and house.
Gu Wenxuan and Bai Jingzhou didn't care about these things. The next day after they took out the deed, they took Gu Yongming, Jia Guizhi, Bai Chong, Bai Jingshan, Ning Qirui, Jia Yuelan and several brothers of the Fang family into the mountains.
It is worth mentioning that on the same day when the Gu family and the Bai family were shocked, Jia's father and mother, who unexpectedly received their granddaughter's spoils, were also shocked by their granddaughter's growth speed after listening to Gu Wenxuan and Jia Yuelan's explanation of the whole story.
After listening to Gu Wenxuan's talk about how talented Jia Yuelan was and how fast she was making progress, the two of them were stunned and couldn't come back to their senses for a long time.
It was not until Gu Wenxuan and Jia Yuelan had lunch in Jiajia Village and returned to Baijia Village together that Jia's father, who saw them off, sighed with both relief and melancholy.
He said to his old wife, "We have to get ready to move."
Grandmother Jia was confused. "What nonsense are you talking about?"
Father Jia smiled, "Our Yuelan is becoming more and more promising. She will definitely not be like us, being a hunter in Jiajia Village for the rest of her life. If she leaves, we have to follow her."
They did not think that since they raised Jia Yuelan, she had to take responsibility for their later life. It was Jia Yuelan herself who regarded her grandparents, who gave her a second life, as her responsibility.
The little girl was noticed by some families in the village a long time ago because she was diligent, capable, well-behaved, sensible, and especially considerate and filial.
They either visited the house in person or asked others to propose marriage, all of them wanting to arrange Jia Yuelan, the typical "other people's child", to be the daughter-in-law for their own children and grandchildren as soon as possible.
However, before Father and Mother Jia could reject those who came to their house and proposed to arrange a marriage for their children, Jia Yuelan had already stood up and made it clear that she "would not get married and would stay at home to take care of her grandparents."
Although Father and Mother Jia were reluctant to arrange a marriage for her, they had never thought of keeping her at home forever.
The old couple persuaded her every year, hoping that she would become less stubborn as she grew older, but Jia Yuelan was determined and they failed every time to persuade her to change her mind.
She refused to marry someone from the same village, let alone let her leave her parents behind and go out to make a living.
In order not to hinder his granddaughter's future, Jia's father considered for the first time the suggestion made by his daughter and son-in-law that they move to Baijia Village.
After hearing what Father Jia said, Grandmother Jia couldn't help but seriously consider moving. She said, "That child is stubborn. If we don't follow her, she will definitely not leave alone."
Father Jia smiled and said, "It's a good thing that the child is filial. Although we don't want her to marry a son-in-law, when we can't move, she and Guizhi will definitely have to lend a hand."
When people get old, they can no longer do many things, and it certainly won’t work without the care of younger generations.
At this time, they don’t know that their happy days are still ahead. They don’t have to wait until they are too old to take care of themselves before they can enjoy the blessing of their children and grandchildren.
Let’s talk about Gu Wenxuan and Bai Jingzhou.
In order to add some weight to their wallets, Gu Wenxuan and Bai Jingzhou would go to the county town every two days to sell the various mountain products and prey they got from the mountains.
Although they had to distribute most of the money from selling these things to other members of the team according to their contributions, as time went by, their originally empty wallets gradually became relatively full again.
By the way, Bai Jingzhou and Gu Wenxuan also took some time to visit their newly purchased farm. To subsidize the farm and shop at home, the two of them also took their family members for a tour when they went to the county town so that they would have a better idea of the situation.
Time passed quickly in the busyness of the crowd, and it seemed like in just a blink of an eye, their area welcomed the first snow of this winter.
It was snowing, and the risk factor of entering the mountains increased sharply. Gu Wenxuan didn't want to take everyone to risk their lives for money, so she simply announced that their winter storage operation would be completely ended today.
Bai Chong, Gu Yongming and others, who had been eager to return home but had been working hard to make money, chose to bring back the mountain products they had carefully selected.
Just like countless times before, Gu Wenxuan and Bai Jingzhou took Bai Jingshan, Ning Qirui, Jia Yuelan and the Fang brothers to the county town to sell goods.
The boss who bought their mountain products was introduced by the owner of the Mu Family Restaurant. Although the price he gave them was not as generous as the one offered by the Mu family before, it was still a uniquely high price in Qingshan County.
Gu Wenxuan and Bai Jingzhou were both very content. Most of the mountain products and game they had obtained recently were transported here and sold.
This time was the same. They drove the ox cart into the yard from the back door of the shop with ease, and then went through the entire process of inspecting the goods, weighing them, calculating the accounts, and settling the payment together with the shop owner and the shop assistants.
