The abandoned wife married into a wealthy family, and the scumbag father wailed every night

Thinking of returning to their hometown, Gu Xiucai and his friends decided to buy an ox cart first, and then buy some coarse grains and a small amount of fine grains.

I bought the fine grains for Gu Yingxue. She wants to feed her baby, so she needs to eat something good.

They were already very happy to eat coarse grains. Times were tough, so they ate wild vegetables along with the coarse grains, and no family dared to eat their fill.

Besides, it would be too conspicuous for them to eat fine grains on the road, so they didn’t buy too much coarse grains, just enough for half a month.

Firstly, there is a lot of food insecurity in this situation, and secondly, we will pass through towns on the way back to our hometown, so we can just buy some food then.

After buying the grain and the ox cart, Gu Xiucai decided not to go shopping anymore.

If they bought too many things and brought them back to the village today, it would definitely cause a sensation.

It is just enough to buy coarse grains for half a month. It is not easy for country people to go to the city, so they usually buy food for half a month.

This would not arouse the suspicion of the villagers, but if they bought too many things, it would be hard to say. After all, in the eyes of the country people, apart from food, other things do not need to be bought.

After buying things, Gu Xiucai and his companions looked at the ox cart in confusion. They didn’t know how to drive an ox cart!

Only the big guy knew a little about how to drive an ox cart. No one else knew. The big guy had to bite the bullet and grope around for a long time before he could tremblingly drive the ox cart and take Gu Xiucai and others back to the village.

The big man driving the ox cart had a buzzing head and felt like he was in a dream.

He pinched himself hard several times, grimacing in pain, and then pinched himself again uncertainly to prove that he was not dreaming.

"Er Gouzi, how much is 1000 taels?"

The skinny monkey sat on the ox cart in a daze, and asked Gu Yubai with a confused look on his face.

He had only seen copper coins and never silver in his life, so he really couldn't imagine how much 1000 taels was.

"You ask me how I know, the biggest silver I've ever seen is one ounce!"

Gu Yubai was also in a daze now. After hearing what Shouhou said, he muttered in a low voice with annoyance.

When Gu Xiucai and his companions returned to the village, it was already dark. No one at the entrance of the village saw them, so it did not cause any sensation.

Gu Xiucai returned home, packed up a little, and went to the village chief's house with a pot of wine and a few pounds of braised meat he bought in the county town.

The relocation went smoothly. The village chief also knew that Gu Xiucai's family had fled here due to famine, so when Gu Xiucai expressed his desire to return home, he had no doubts.

But Gu Xiucai was still cautious and did not tell the village chief where his family was planning to go.

Just tell the village chief to stop wherever there is food.

After all, he had been a fellow villager for so many years, so after thinking about it, the scholar hinted that the situation in the south might be worse. After telling the village chief about his concerns, he didn't say anything more.

If the village chief listens to his words of advice, it will be enough. If he does not listen and is unwilling to leave his hometown, then no matter how much he says, it will be of no use.

When they got home, Mrs. Yin and Mrs. Yang were setting the table for dinner. Since they were leaving tomorrow, the meal was extremely sumptuous.

We made a cold dish with wild vegetables, fried the remaining rabbit and chicken, and added corn tortillas. After eating a full meal, we were ready to continue our journey!

The big guy and the skinny guy felt a little embarrassed and tried to leave several times, but were frightened and stopped in their tracks by Gu Yubai's glare.

The two of them sat beside the dining table somewhat embarrassedly, not daring to pick up their chopsticks. It was only after Old Lady Yin forced a corn tortilla into each of their mouths that the two of them timidly took a bite of the tortilla.

Seeing that the chicken soup that Old Lady Yin served to them was exactly the same as the one served to the Gu family, the big guy and the skinny guy started to cry while eating.

Skinny Monkey and Big Guy are both homeless people. They have lived in a dilapidated temple outside the village since they can remember.

I have eaten whatever I could get my hands on since I was a child, and sometimes it was normal for me to not eat for several days.

When people saw them, they were disgusted and afraid of them. They always ate while squatting on the ground and had never eaten at the table.

So this is what it feels like to eat at the table, so happy!

"You two don't have any family here. I see that you and my second son get along well. Why don't you leave with us tomorrow? Of course, if you don't want to leave, I can give you the title deed of this house, and you can live here in the future."

Gu Xiucai looked at the two people with red eyes, and a trace of heartache flashed in his eyes.

These two children look quite young and they don’t know whether their family members are dead or alive.

In the past, they always followed the second brother around, and had a close relationship with him like a brother. Now that the second brother left, they were left alone, and it might be better for them to follow him.

Besides, it would be a help to take them on the road tomorrow. After all, that tall guy looks like someone who is not easy to deal with.

Of course, if they were unwilling to leave with them, he would not force them. Leaving this house to them could be regarded as a way of repaying the two for their help to his family some time ago.

"We will follow Er Gouzi. Wherever Er Gouzi goes, we will go. Uncle Gu, don't worry. We will find food on our own on the way. We will never eat your rations!"

As soon as the big guy heard what Gu Xiucai said, he quickly replied.

In fact, when Ergouzi told him and Shouhou that they were going back to their hometown tomorrow, he and Shouhou decided to go with Ergouzi!

The two of them have always been following Ergouzi. If Ergouzi wants to leave here, then he and Shouhou will naturally have to follow Ergouzi and leave here too!

They have no relatives, and in their hearts Ergouzi is their only family!

"Okay, after dinner, go back and pack your things. We will set out at 1:00 a.m. tomorrow. You just need to come before then."

After saying this, Mr. Gu stopped talking and started to eat quickly. He still had to pack up later. Although Old Lady Yin had already taken Yang and Gu Yingxue to pack up for quite some time during the day, there was still a lot to do!

After the meal, Mrs. Yin quickly took her daughter-in-law and daughter to make multi-grain steamed buns with the coarse grains bought today. She also used white flour to steam some white steamed buns for Gu Yingxue, and fried the remaining white flour, so that her daughter could directly drink the porridge if she was hungry on the road.

While doing her work in a trance, Yang asked Old Lady Yin in disbelief:

"Mom, with these 1000 taels of silver, can we also eat white steamed buns for three meals a day like the nobles in the capital?!"

Old Lady Yin glanced at her silly daughter-in-law and said unhappily:

"Look at your achievements, can't you be a little bolder? Not only can we eat white steamed buns three times a day, we can also eat meat!"

Gu Yingxue happily listened to the conversation between her mother and sister-in-law. She felt that the days were getting more and more promising. She kissed the daughter in her arms again and again. Her father said that this was all her daughter's blessing!

The Gu family loaded everything they could carry onto the ox cart and unloaded the iron pot on the stove. To be honest, this iron pot is the most expensive thing in the house. Iron is precious and iron pots are even harder to buy.

They must bring this iron pot, it's the one they use for eating!
