Gu Yu'an usually calls Gu Yubai by his name, because his father said that they are no longer homeless hooligans, they have names, surnames and families, and he should call them by their names from now on.

But when he gets nervous, he can't help but shout out his former gangster name.

"What's so unlucky about death and life? The big fool will definitely live a hundred years!"

Gu Yubai glared at Gu Yu'an fiercely. He was actually just like Gu Yu'an. Whenever he got nervous, he would call out the names they used to use when they were just hanging out.

Seeing that Gu Yuze was no longer in danger, Gu Xiucai was no longer panicked. He regained his senses and began to make arrangements:

"Although there is no one here, it is not advisable to stay here for long. Take the eldest, second, fifth and third sons and put them on the ox cart. We need to leave as soon as possible."

"Dad, let's pack up all these bandits' stuff and take it away. It's a waste to leave it here."

Gu Yubai looked at his father and said something a little nervously. He was afraid that his father would beat him. His father always regarded himself as a scholar and did not like this kind of behavior of getting something for nothing!

"Oh, by the way, forget about this. You're right, Lao Er. Go search and take away all the valuables! And take away the knives in their hands too!"

This is a different time, but Gu Xiucai is not someone who doesn't know how to adapt!

"okay!"

When Yang heard this, she was so excited that she wanted to drag Gu Yingxue to collect the dead bandits, but was stopped by Gu Yulang, whose face turned red:

"My lady, men and women should not touch each other. You and Yingxue wait here, and my second brother and I will search you."

"What's the point of granting or not granting or not being related? I'm just looking for money!"

Yang looked unhappy, thinking that her husband was starting to show off his knowledge again!

Seeing this, Gu Yingxue quickly pulled Yang to the side of Old Lady Yin. With her father and the others searching, they would be able to do it. She and her sister-in-law went to put the things on the ox cart in order to make room for Gu Yuze to lie down.

However, the ox cart was too small. After Gu Yuze lay on it, Gu Yingxue and Yang had to walk.

But Mr. Gu and Mrs. Yin were old, so they had to sit on the ox cart. Although it was a bit crowded, they could still fit everyone.

Old Mrs. Yin looked at her timid son and her careless daughter-in-law with a smile on her face.

His eldest son was taught too much by his old man to be too pedantic and take the rules of scholars too seriously, so he must be disciplined by his wife.

Otherwise, it would be meaningless if life was too rigid!

It was just that Old Lady Yin looked at Yang with a somewhat guilty look in her eyes. Her eldest daughter-in-law was a good person, but she had not had a good life since she entered her family.

In the past, her son could pass the imperial examination and become an official, and Yang had the hope of becoming an official's wife in the future. But now, her son's path to the imperial examination is probably cut off, as he is a useless scholar. The current state of her son is really a burden to the Gu family.

"Dad! Silver! And gold!"

Gu Yu'an was holding a big bundle in his arms, and the white silver and golden yellow inside were so dazzling that he could hardly open his eyes!

He excitedly trotted over to Gu Xiucai and handed him the box in his arms.

Gu Xiucai was also shocked when he opened the box. There were exactly 100 gold ingots! One ingot was worth 5 taels, which meant 500 taels of gold!

There are 300 silver ingots, each weighing 5 taels, making a total of 1500 taels!

"Old Five, you found this. Would you like to give it all to me?"

After being shocked, Gu Xiucai looked at Gu Yu'an with a serious face and asked. Although he knew that this child was a good person, money has always tempted people since ancient times. He still wanted to know Gu Yu'an's true thoughts.

Gu Yu'an listened and said nonchalantly:

"If it weren't for my second brother's ability to kill those people, I wouldn't be alive here to search for silver. Dad, take it. This gold and silver belong to our Gu family, not just me! Besides, I'm your son, so what's mine is yours!"

Gu Yu'an's idea is exactly the same as Gu Yuze's. He completely regards Gu Xiucai as his real father.

This is the first time he has a father in his life, and he has been sleeping with his mouth open for the past few months.

He didn’t know what happiness felt like before, but now he knows. Happiness is what it feels like to have a father and a home!

When the bandits came just now, all he could think about was that he finally had a father and a home, and he must not become a fatherless and homeless wild child again!

Gu Xiucai looked at Gu Yu'an with satisfaction. This old man is a good one!

He saw it clearly. During the chaos just now, if Lao Wu had not risked his life to stop the carriage, Yingxue would have been kidnapped by the bandits!

The few people on the carriage had already been chopped into pieces!

Although, the people were killed by the second and third brothers, if the fifth brother had not been guarding the carriage, it would not have been possible for the second and third brothers to eliminate the bandits so easily.

"Okay! Then I'll accept it and find you a good wife in the future!"

When Gu Yu'an heard that Gu Xiucai wanted to find him a wife, his bright smile froze, and then he looked at Yang and Yin Lao Niang with horror, and said quickly:

"Dad, if I don't marry a wife, she will beat me every day! Dad, I only need you in my life."

Gu Xiucai's lips twitched after hearing what Gu Yu'an said:

"Yang came after you and beat you because she had a misunderstanding about you and Yu Ze. She never beat her husband, and your mother..."

"No! No! No! Dad, I won't marry a wife!"

Gu Yu'an shook his head like a rattle. He would absolutely not get married!

If you were to ask who Gu Yu'an fears the most, it would be none other than Old Lady Yin and Yang. Years of being beaten had made his fear of women deep-rooted!

Seeing that Gu Yu'an's face had turned pale with fright, Gu Xiucai stopped trying to persuade him. He thought that the child was still young and had not yet figured things out. When he grows up, he will naturally understand how good his wife is!

Gu Yulang and Gu Yubai also came back. They both made a great harvest, a total of more than 200 taels of silver!

For a moment, everyone in the Gu family was extremely excited. Even Gu Yuze, who was lying on the ox cart, couldn't help but grin. There was finally hope for this day!

With this money, I can buy hundreds of acres of land when I return to my hometown and build a good yard. No matter how hard life is in the future, I will not starve or freeze as long as I have the land and the house!

Seeing that the search was complete, Gu Xiucai told the Gu family to continue on their journey. Once they sat on the ox cart, Gu Xiucai held Gu Yiyao tightly in his arms and refused to let go!

He knew that all of this was thanks to this little girl. If it weren't for this girl, those bandits wouldn't have had inexplicable heart pains, the knife in the third brother's chest wouldn't have been pulled out, and the third brother wouldn't have recovered so quickly!

With this little girl in their Gu family, they will surely be able to make a name for themselves sooner or later!

Gu Xiucai was full of gratitude towards Gu Yiyao at this time. In the past, he always felt that he was protecting her and her two children, but now he felt that it was this little granddaughter who was protecting their Gu family.

Gu Yiyao nestled obediently in her grandfather's arms. Apart from sleeping and drinking milk, she was silently comprehending the martial arts in her heart, and practicing the martial arts she had comprehended over and over again in her mind!

In a world with a heroine, a super cannon fodder like her can only work hard to practice her skills and strive to survive!

After all, she doesn’t have the halo of the protagonist and she is not the author’s biological daughter, so she has to rely on herself for everything!

The rest of the journey went much smoother, but they never encountered any county towns where they could do shopping along the way. After eating the last bit of food, Gu Xiucai and his family finally returned to their hometown, a small village 100 miles away from the capital.

Gu Xiucai looked at the familiar village in front of him with mixed feelings in his heart and tears in his eyes. He had no choice but to leave at the beginning and now he had no choice but to come back. It seemed that he had been running around for survival all his life.

Gu Xiucai looked at the hometown in his memory in a trance, with mixed feelings. Did he miss it? To be honest, he didn't want to.

His closest people are here, but they are also the ones who hurt him the most. If possible, he would never want to set foot here in his life, but fate has made it so that he has no choice but to return here in order to survive.

However, Gu Xiucai did not feel sad for too long. Now that he had money, he would no longer be at the mercy of others as before. In the future, he would be able to buy some good land and live a good life.

"Let's go! Into the village!"

Gu Xiucai waved his hand, got off the ox cart, straightened his back, and led everyone from the Gu family towards Gujia Village!

As soon as Mrs. Yin saw the expression on Mr. Gu’s face, she knew what he was thinking and couldn’t help but start wiping away tears.

It is said that the youngest son is the eldest grandson, but her black-hearted parents-in-law just don't like their own old man, and love the eldest and the fourth son like their own eyes.

The youngest child in the family has become a burden that is ignored by his father and mother.

After I got married, I gave them five rooms and divided a storage room behind the kitchen into their new home.

Later, when famine broke out, they were so cruel as to separate only my family from the famine and only gave myself and the old man one acre of inferior land!

They said that if they wanted to follow the boss, the land must be divided up, and they were given 10 acres of good land.

They say that the fourth son is a scholar and that he is the one who will bring honor to the family in the future. For the sake of the family's future, the fourth son Ye must be given 10 good fields!

He said that as long as the old man didn't cheat and worked hard, he could always make a living even if he had only one acre of low-quality land!

Even that one acre of inferior land was wasteland bought temporarily for the purpose of dividing the family. Even in a good year, it could not produce enough food for one person, let alone to feed the five families in their family in a bad year.

Isn't this pushing your own family into a dead end?

Besides, is my old man being sneaky? !

My old man just wants to study and learn calligraphy like the fourth child!

But her parents-in-law actually told everyone that their old man was very lazy, unwilling to do farm work, and insisted on studying like his brother. They also said that their old man was not cut out for study!

In those days, the best quality fields could produce very little grain, let alone the inferior fields.

If there wasn't a dead end in Gujia Village back then, how could the old man have taken his entire family to escape famine!

After so many years living in a foreign land, she has let go of her resentment towards her parents-in-law and sisters-in-law, and in her heart she just pretends they don't exist.

But now that she's back, the resentment that had long since dissipated seems to be coming back from all directions!
