Chapter 54: The Zhang Family Makes Trouble And Yao Yao Retaliates (1) (1/2)
Gu Qingyao frowned and entered the house, only to see that the entire Zhang family was present – the three sons, their wives, and a few children.
The eldest Zhang brother was sitting on a stool. His leg was bandaged, and he seemed to be injured.
The eldest Zhang brother, Zhang Jianguo, was 40 years old. He was lazy and greedy and was known throughout the brigade as a troublemaker. He had been completely spoilt by his parents. But of course, the entire Zhang family was greedy and lazy. They would probably have starved to death if the Gu family had not supported them all these years.
Zhang Jianguo sat there with a self-righteous expression. “Gu Yunshen, aren’t you ungrateful? I, your elder brother, am so badly injured, but you refuse to give me something more nutritious? Has your family not spent enough time here undergoing rehabilitation?”
Gu Yunshen rolled his eyes, but could not be bothered to answer him. Anyway, it was useless to reason with him.
Two years ago, the situation had been very tense. Grandfather and Grandma had been severely persecuted, and many capitalists had suffered. Some of them had even been beaten brutally. For the sake of Grandfather and Grandma’s safety, Gu Yunshen had no choice but to smooth things over!
In these times, it was better to offend a gentleman than a villain!
This bunch from the Zhang family were classic villains. There was no need to run the risk of being reported for the sake of some food. Otherwise, it would be the Gu family that suffered.
But one must have a delicate grasp of these situations. He could not possibly let the Zhang family have their way in everything, or many other families would follow suit, and the Gu family would be unable to survive.
Fortunately, Gu Qingyao and Mo Beihan returned at this moment. The two of them stood in the courtyard and everyone saw the game that Mo Beihan was carrying.
On one end of the shoulder pole was a large bundle of firewood. Firewood also hung on the other end, but there were also two bags of mushrooms, three rabbits, two pheasants, two large fish and two small fish bundled together with it.
Mo Beihan had deliberately tied them on the outside. Everyone knew that he dared to venture into the mountains. If he always came back empty-handed, people would suspect that he had caught a lot of game and hidden it. Rather, it was better to show a little of the less conspicuous game.
