Chapter 69: Just a Beat Up

Gu Zhong's heart shuddered.

Yes, he wanted to have a son, first of all, because he was afraid of being accused of extinction, and more importantly, he was counting on his son to support him when he was old and unable to work.

This kid only cared about himself in everything he did, and even dared to snatch his grandmother's food. How could he be counted on in the future?

Gu Zhong stood up, dragged Bao'er away from Qian, and slapped him hard on the butt, "I told you not to be filial, I told you not to snatch your grandmother's things, you little bastard, you are lawless!"

Bao'er was beaten and screamed.

Gu Fei was eating noodles, listening to this voice, and said slowly: "Children are disobedient, most of them are spoiled, just beat them up."

At this time, Gu Zhong might have been ruthless, Bao'er burst into tears, crying and shouting, "It was my mother who asked me to go, it was my mother who asked me to go, why did you hit me!"

Lanzhi held the bowl and smiled with her head down.

Although life was hard, she felt that it was much more interesting than the mansion, which was dead and dull all day long. There was no such drama to watch.

Gu Erlang looked at Lanzhi and smiled foolishly.

Lanzhi accidentally met his eyes and hurriedly looked away.

After a while, she couldn't help but sneak a glance at Gu Erlang, who was still looking at her and smiling foolishly.

Lanzhi turned her back and didn't dare to look anymore.

Gu Fei saw the two people's flirting, but pretended not to see it.

She would not intervene in such things, but if the two were really good, it would be good, and Lanzhi would really become her family.

At night, they slept on the big bunk bed, Lanzhi was on Gu Fei's left, Chen was next to Lanzhi, Xiaocao was on Gu Fei's right, and Li Chunhua was next to Xiaocao.

Although it was not too much to be particular outside, men and women were still separated, otherwise it would be too outrageous to look at.

The next day, Gu Zhang got up early and called Gu Qing. He had to get up early to buy a mule cart.

The two of them went for half an hour. When Chen's breakfast was ready, the father and son drove back in a mule cart.

The other families were secretly envious. Gu Laoer's family must have a lot of money.

Alas, people can't be compared.

After lunch, they set out from Fuyuan Town. When they rested at noon, they met a caravan carrying grain.

The mule cart was piled high with sacks, and seven or eight bodyguards were guarding the mule cart with knives in their hands.

When the caravan saw the Gu family, they also stopped not far away to rest.

Gu Zhang took a steamed bun and ate it while eating the village chief to inquire about the news.

The leader of the caravan was a middle-aged man in his forties. Gu Zhang walked over and bowed, "Brother, where did you get this food?"

The leader looked at Gu Zhang and his companions with some caution, and only breathed a sigh of relief when he saw the white flour bun in Gu Zhang's hand, "Are you also from Lincheng?"

Gu Zhang nodded.

The leader then said, "This is transported from Huainan County."

Gu Zhang smiled, "There is a lot of food in Huainan County, so it shouldn't be expensive, right?"

The leader shook his head, "Why not?"

"There was a heavy rain in the south this year, and several rivers were flooded, especially in Hanzhong County. At the end of June this year, there was a flood, and the Yunjiang River burst its dike, flooding tens of thousands of acres of fertile land. The rice that was about to mature was all soaked in water. There was a severe drought in the five northern counties, and there was a shortage of food everywhere. The grain in Huainan County had to be sold to several northern counties, and the price has now increased several times."
