Chapter 139
after dinner.

The Chen family, the fourth branch, the Shen family, and a group of people represented by Gu Jikun sat around the campfire, all looking at Gu Hua.

It was a quiet night and no one spoke for a while.

It was Uncle Chen who broke the silence, "Hua'er, what are we going to do in the future?"

Gu Hua threw the dead branch in his hand into the burning flames, patted the sawdust on his palm, and looked up at the group of people surrounding him.

There were also other people who had finished their meal outside and had not left yet. They seemed to be waiting for her to make a decision, and she couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.

"Yes!" Uncle Gu frowned in worry and said, "Now we have no place to live, no food to eat, and no one to take care of us. How are we going to live in the future?"

Sun Chengfeng and his eldest son Sun Haihui, as well as Shan Clan's eldest son Shan Chengshuo, were sitting on the periphery, looking at Gu Hua worriedly, wondering if she had any way to solve the current predicament.

Gu Hua met everyone's expectant eyes and raised her eyebrows. They thought she was a god who could erect a house from the ground with a wave of her hand and have food and drink as soon as she opened her mouth.

Gu Hua did not lose his pride in the high regard of everyone, but broke his own godly filter with one sentence, and said directly: "If we don't have a house, we can find a way to build one ourselves. If we don't have food, we still have our hands.

These endless mountains may not necessarily provide us with enough food and clothing, but as long as we are diligent and not lazy, we will not starve to death even if we dig wild vegetables and peel tree bark to make soup. "

As soon as Gu Hua said this, he heard another group of people not far away mocking him, "I thought that you guys' admiration for a woman would bring you such a good life, but it turns out that you can only dig wild vegetables and chew tree bark!!"

Those who originally thought that Gu Hua could have some good ideas to help them get through this difficult time, heard that the solution he came up with was just mediocre. If that was all, they could have come up with it themselves, so why bother to praise a woman like him.

Some people outside heard Gu Hua's simple remarks, curled their lips in disappointment and disdain, and retreated to the other side of the crowd, wanting to hear what good ideas the group led by Gu Jitang and Wang Hanyou had to make their future lives better.

"Cousin, it's better if these fence-sitters leave." Gu Chen: "You are not a god.

Now they have nothing except to build their own houses and find their own food. They can’t stand hearing the truth. If they want to dream, let them go.”

Gu Hua smiled at her cousin Gu Chen and said, "Do you think I will be sad because of their departure?"

Gu Chen raised his hand and scratched the back of his head. It seemed that his cousin was not such a superficial and sensitive person, and he was just overthinking it.

Uncle Chen: "People with different ideals cannot work together."

"Not bad." Sun Chengfeng nodded in agreement.

Shan Chengshuo, who was standing nearby and suddenly enlightened after hearing this, pushed away the hand that Old Lady Shan was trying to pull at him, and said calmly, "Indeed, people with different ideals cannot work together.

Mother, I won't stop you and your brother's family from going there, but I hope you won't interfere if I want to follow Patriarch Gu in the future."

"You evil son." Old Madam Shan said angrily, "What good will it be for you to follow a woman?

If you go there as the prince of the Bo Mansion and show your ability, they will definitely support you as the leader, which is no better than you following a woman. "

Shan Chengshuo looked at Gu Hua with gratitude, then shook his head at Old Madam Shan, "If she hadn't given me a steamed bun with a few slices of meat in it, my two children probably wouldn't be alive today..."

"Brother, why don't you listen to mother again." Shan Chenghuai came over and supported Madam Shan like a caring son, with a sly look in his eyes, and said, "Look how angry mother is. You are disobedient and unfilial. Why don't you apologize to mother quickly?" Shan Chengshuo smiled bitterly, "Second brother, mother loved you all the way. She used most of the hidden silver and food for herself and your family.

You almost caused the frail Xian'er and the young Yueyue to die, and now you come to talk to me about filial piety, don't you think you are ridiculous?"

"Pa!" Mrs. Shan, who was exposed by her eldest son, was so angry that she raised her hand and slapped Shan Chengshuo, "You disobedient and unfilial thing, I favor the second son's family, what's wrong?
Your eldest son, who was born prematurely, has been sickly since childhood, and it is hard to say whether he can grow up. There is so little food during the exile, so of course your brother's two healthy boys should be fed first.

This way, when your first child is gone, your second child can adopt another child to take care of you in your old age."

I could still bear it after hearing this, "I will fight you..."

Shan Chengshuo had a dark face. He grabbed his son's wife Yang, who was cursed by her grandmother and wanted to fight to the death, and knelt in front of Old Lady Shan.

"Mother, son is unfilial. From now on, you should treat me as dead and you no longer have a son like me."

"Impossible." Old Madam Shan stared viciously at her eldest son, who had been taken away by her mother-in-law to be raised since childhood and had no close relationship with her, "You were born by me, so you must listen to me.

Otherwise you will have to learn from Nezha who dug out bones to return to his father and cut off flesh to return to his mother. "

When the people around heard what Old Madam Shan said, they all took a deep breath. How could she be a mother? The way she pressed on was like an enemy.

Gu Hua looked at the scene in front of him and frowned slightly.

Uncle Chen shook his head at Gu Hua to indicate that this was someone else's business and it was best not to interfere unless it was absolutely necessary.

Shan Chengshuo pulled his wife behind him. The matter between him, his mother and his second brother should have been resolved long ago.

It's just that he, as the eldest son of the family, couldn't just sit there and watch them on the road of exile. But now that he's here, it's time to put an end to it.

Shan Chengshuo came over and said, "Master Gu, can you lend me the dagger you used to cut the tiger meat just now?"

Gu Hua pulled out a sharp dagger that was shining with a faint blue light from the animal leather sheath at his waist, "Have you thought it through?"

"If you don't cut the rotten flesh, it's hard to grow new flesh." Shan Chenghui's face flashed with relief: "The bond between mother and son is shallow, so let it be."

After saying this with difficulty, Shan Chengshuo took the dagger from Gu Hua's hand and came to Old Madam Shan, scaring her so much that she retreated: "You...what do you want to do?"

"What does mother think I want to do?" Shan Chengshuo's eyes were filled with hurt and loss. "Does mother think I want to hurt you?"

"Hmm!" With a raised hand and a slash of knife, Shan Chengshuo let out a muffled groan, and a palm-sized wound appeared on his thigh. He held a piece of meat in his hand and handed it to Mrs. Shan with blood dripping from it.

"Ah!" Old Madam Shan: "You...you are crazy."

No one expected that Shan Chengshuo would really give back to his mother.

"This is not what you asked me to do, mother. I have done what you asked. From now on, I don't want you to use filial piety to oppress our family. I will make sacrifices and serve my second brother's family."
