Chapter 31 Repairing The House (4)
The family clan leader nodded and said, “It’s not like the workshop is short of a person for a day or two. We can’t let the Qian clan take care of our Gu clan’s people. Isn’t this a slap in the face of our Gu clan?
“Besides, I heard that Gu Chengrui has medical skills. In the future, if we are sick and urgently need medical attention, we might need to look for him. Don’t ruin our relationship. contemporary romance
“We didn’t do anything when they were separated from their family. Even if we do something now, they might not be grateful for our help.” The patriarch’s wife, Mrs. Wang, spoke at this time.
“That’s right. If we had helped them before this, that would have been the help that they so desperately needed. Helping them now would only be like adding flowers to a bouquet.” Gu Chengen agreed.
The main thing was that he could not stand Gu Chengrui’s indifferent attitude, as if he owed him a hundred taels of silver.
“It’s better to add flowers to a bouquet than to watch and not care.” The clan leader said unhappily, then paused for a moment, “By the way, don’t we still have some wood in our house? Although it can’t be used as a beam, it’s not a problem to use it as rafters.
“We also have some sorghum stalk. Although it’s not much, it’s a kind gesture.”
“Okay.” Gu Chengen responded unwillingly. After eating, he took his younger brother, Gu Chengsi, and got busy.
The patriarch stood up and said to Mrs. Wang, “Bring some dishes over later and see if there’s anything you need help with.”
After he finished speaking, he went out and took some sorghum stalks from the storage room, then used them to make a broom and a curtain.
Although these things were not valuable, they were essential in life.
Mrs. Wang came out and saw how busy he was. She sighed, picked up the basket, and went to the cellar behind them. She took out more than ten long radishes, a big melon, two small pumpkins, and some dried vegetables.
She placed them on an ox cart that Gu Chengen and his brother had packed and said, “Let’s go. Let’s go together and see if there’s anything else we can help with.”
“Then mother, do get in the cart.” Gu Chengen nodded and said.
“It’s a good day today. Let’s walk.” After Mrs. Wang finished speaking, she walked out.
Seeing this, the two brothers had no choice but to follow as they drove the cart.
When they arrived, everyone had just started to get busy.
Gu Chengrui was stunned when he saw them bringing something over. He quickly stood up and greeted them, “Aunt, brother Chengen, brother Chengsi, you’ve come.”
Zhou Ying also stood up and greeted everyone.
“Your uncle heard you bought a house and wanted to renovate it. He was afraid there wouldn’t be enough materials, so he sent some over.” Mrs. Wang said with a smile.
“Do give him my thanks. We really do lack wood at the moment, so don’t mind if I do. “Gu Chengrui hesitated for a moment before accepting it.
Because regardless of whether the other party wanted to save their dignity or had ulterior motives, he had no reason to refuse at the moment. Otherwise, they would definitely be on bad terms.
However, as far as he knew, the clan leader was a good person. Otherwise, he would not have given the 100 acres of land and the oil mill’s dividends to the Gu family.
Therefore, he decided to try to be on good terms with them. He immediately walked toward the ox cart with enthusiasm.
On the other hand, Gu Chengen and his brother looked at Gu Chengrui, who had changed from his usual enigmatic tone to a warm and welcoming one. They looked at each other and greeted each other happily. The three of them then started to unload the cart.
On the other side, Zhou Ying invited Mrs. Wang to sit and said, “Auntie, please sit down. Let me pour you a bowl of water.”
“Don’t worry about it. I came over after drinking enough water at home. Let’s hurry up and make a mat so you can move in earlier.” After Mrs. Wang finished speaking, she took over Gu Chengrui’s position and busied herself with weaving the mat.
