Chapter 215 Relatives Come to Seek Refuge 10
Bai Jingzhou's aunt didn't expect that Ning Cuizhi had clearly promised her parents not to tell this matter to anyone, but now she still didn't care about her parents at all and directly trampled on the face of their Ning family in front of her parents.
She glanced at her parents, only to find that they didn't dare to stand up for her, and didn't even dare to meet her gaze. They looked as if they were afraid of angering Ning Cuizhi, who would drive them out.
How could she know that her parents were also very angry at the moment, but this time they were not only angry with Ning Cuizhi, they were also angry with their little daughter.
They wanted to save face and didn't want others to know what their younger daughter had done. They certainly didn't want their older daughter to be known as someone who was obsessed with her brother-in-law.
The most important thing is that they are currently staying at Bai Chong's house. If Bai Chong gets angry with their eldest daughter because of this matter, won't they be kicked out of Baijia Village by Bai Chong?
The old couple were angry that their younger daughter did not care about their situation at all, so naturally they would not suppress their eldest daughter Ning Cuizhi for her anymore.
Bai Jingzhou's aunt was both angry and embarrassed, her face flushed red, and she was dragged away by her elder sister-in-law.
Her elder sister-in-law actually didn't like her brother's wife, and like her parents, she always thought that her brother had done things inappropriately.
She said that if her brother had been more mature at the beginning, he would not have embarrassed his sister on the spot, but would have waited until he returned home to tell their parents privately that he did not like his sister but liked his younger sister. He would not have made them face the double backstabbing of the person he was dating and his younger sister at the same time, and they would not have directly disowned them as relatives.
This time her sister-in-law insisted on coming to Baijia Village. She had reminded her that she and her sister had become enemies and that people would definitely not take them in. It was her sister-in-law who insisted on coming and said that with her parents there, she would definitely be able to live in Baijia Village.
On the one hand, her elder sister-in-law was anxious to find a doctor for her husband, son and younger brother, and on the other hand, she also wanted to live in Baijia Village, which was said to have formed a patrol team, so she followed them here with half belief and half doubt.
Unfortunately, the development of the situation was seriously inconsistent with their expectations, and they could only take the injured to seek refuge with other relatives.
Not long after they left, Bai Jingzhou quietly came to find Gu Wenxuan, but it turned out that the people in the town who came to Bai Chong for treatment accidentally revealed a piece of news.
"They said that your great grandfather and great aunt's families were also robbed, but they did not return to the village, but went to the county town instead."
Gu Wenxuan raised her eyebrows. If Bai Jingzhou hadn't mentioned it, she would have almost forgotten about these two families.
"They probably know that even if they come, my family, my third uncle's family, and my second aunt's family will not take them in."
Bai Jingzhou shook his head. "I specifically asked around. According to the people who came from the town, they went to the county town to seek refuge with their in-laws."
Gu Wenxuan was confused, "Where did their relatives come from in the county town?"
Bai Jingzhou, "It is said that Gu Yongwen promised his daughter to the stupid son of the county magistrate."
Gu Wenxuan: ???
She was a little bit incredulous, "Is he selling his own daughter to marry into a rich family?"
Bai Jingzhou nodded, "I heard that they have been bragging about this to others recently, and said that Gu Yongwen will be able to become an official soon."
Gu Wenxuan's mouth twitched slightly, "Scholar, to be an official? Doesn't the lowest level have to be a Juren?"
Bai Jingzhou shrugged, "You know what the situation is now, who knows if he can really get promoted?"
Gu Wenxuan thought of the batch of cotton that Mu Hanzhi had taken away, "That's perfect, it saves me from having to deal with them myself."
Others wanted to jump off the boat to survive but had no way to do so, but they just jumped on board on their own.
Gu Wenxuan asked Bai Jingzhou, "What about the other relatives of their two families?"
For example, Gu Yongwen’s uncle’s house and father-in-law’s house.
Bai Jingzhou shook his head. "No one talked about the specific situation. We only know that they didn't go with us."
Gu Wenxuan sneered, "My mind is not flexible. Why should they worry about someone who has no use value?"
Given the character of Gu Yongwen's family, they might not be willing to take Gu Tao's family with them. After all, Gu Tao's family has been robbed and is not as wealthy as before.
But the Gu Tao family is no pushover either. They have invested in Gu Yongwen and his son for so many years, so how could they not hold on to them and ask them to help their family at the critical moment?
After a discussion, the two of them put these unimportant people who wouldn't make any big waves behind their minds.
They guard the village, doing their best to ensure the safety of all villagers, while also keeping an eye on the outside world to avoid being caught off guard by emergencies when the time comes.
The vast majority of people in the village, including those who came to stay there, were fully utilized by the two men, but there was also a small group of people who not only failed to play a role, but also secretly made trouble.
Relatives from Li's brothers from her mother's side, Li Laosi and Li Laoliu, also came to seek shelter. In Li Laosi's family, their married daughter moved in with her husband and children, while in Li Laoliu's family, his brother-in-law and his wife moved in with their children and grandchildren.
Li Laoliu's brother-in-law's family is much better off than Li Laoliu's family. In the past, his brother-in-law and his wife had never looked down upon their brother-in-law Li Laoliu.
The reason they were able to live in Li Laoliu's house this time was, firstly, because Li Laoliu and his wife had no daughter, and their daughter-in-law's family were all hunters, so they did not need to seek shelter from them; secondly, it was because they gave Li Laoliu's family several bags of food as accommodation fees, and promised that they would not only abide by the rules of Baijia Village, but also fire their weapons alone and not take advantage of Li Laoliu's family.
Li Laoliu's family lived a tight life, and it was a rare opportunity for them to earn some money to support their family. The other party also promised to abide by all the rules of Baijia Village. After some discussion, Li Laoliu and his wife decided to vacate two rooms in their house for their family to live in for a while.
The honest Li Laoliu family never expected that his brother-in-law and his family, who had promised them to abide by the rules, would be so ignorant as to set their sights on Gu Wenxuan.
They did not violate any rules of Baijia Village, and they did fulfill their promise to Li Laoliu to fire alone and not take advantage of his family, but they sent their eldest grandson to follow Gu Wenxuan around every day and show his courtesy.
Li Laoliu and his wife never expected that they would come up with this idea. They and other members of their family discussed it with worried faces, and finally decided that Li Laoliu would talk to his brother-in-law.
Li Laoliu told his brother-in-law that Gu Wenxuan was already engaged, and her fiancé was Bai Jingzhou, the deputy captain of the patrol team. That young man was a good guy, and the Gu family members loved him very much.
He hoped that his brother-in-law and his family would give up because of this, but his brother-in-law said that it was just an engagement and they hadn't gotten married yet. Besides, even if they got married, she could always remarry.
