Chapter 50: The whole situation

Gu Fei had no choice but to get up and get dressed.

She walked to the yard and got some water to wash up, but then she heard chickens and dogs jumping around in the neighboring houses.

Her uncle was shouting: “Kill the chicken quickly, it will be difficult to carry it on the road.”

“You can’t kill it. Bao’er eats eggs every day. If the chicken is killed, Bao’er will have no eggs to eat.” Mrs. Qian said as she tied the chicken’s feet and threw the chicken on the bullock cart.

The dog from their neighbor on the other side was barking wildly. Their neighbor scolded it: “Stop barking. If you bark again, I’ll kill you.”

The dog whimpered a few times in grievance.

Her own home was not much better. Mrs. Chen was directing Gu Qing and Gu Erlang to move the water tank at the door to the mule cart.

Gu Fei couldn’t help but shout: “Mom, there’s no need to bring this with you. This thing is so heavy, it might crush the mule.”

“This -” Mrs. Chen looked at the mule, then at the water tank, and suddenly approached Gu Fei and whispered: “Don’t you have a place where you can put things? How about putting this in too?”

Gu Fei looked at the vat and sighed: “Okay.”

With a flash of consciousness, the water tank entered the space instantly.

Gu Qing and Gu Erlang stared blankly at their empty hands, and then at the girl. If they hadn’t been mentally prepared, they would have shouted ‘Ghost!’.

Mrs. Chen laughed: “No, no, this water tank should be filled before you put it in. You take it out, and I will put something in it.”

Gu Fei looked at her mother helplessly and had to move the water tank out again.

Mrs. Chen happily ran in to get something. Gu Fei’s sharp eyes saw that Mrs. Chen stuffed a few rags into it. She twitched her lips and turned away: “Mom, call me when you’re done.”

When Gu Fei came out again, the yard was full of things, including water tanks, bedding and luggage, oil, salt, soy and vinegar, cabinets, and the broken tables and benches from home.

Mrs. Chen looked at Gu Fei putting all the things in and said with joy: “This is good. There will be a free mule cart for you and Xiaocao to sit in. Your injuries are not healed, and you can’t walk.”

After packing up, Gu Qing drove the mule cart to the entrance of the village. When he saw his uncle’s house next door, he quickly drove out the newly bought mule cart from which he had borrowed money for Gu Fei.

Two mule carts passed by the uncle’s house. Mrs. Qian was stunned when she saw them, “Are you leaving now? I haven’t finished packing yet!”

She shouted at the top of her voice: “Husband, hurry up, it’s time to set off, you go and catch the carriage!”

“Bao’er, Bao’er, get up quickly, stop sleeping.”

Not long after, everyone in the village who wanted to leave drove their carts to the entrance of the village.

Aunt Huang jumped off the mule cart and walked to the Gu family. She looked around and asked Mrs. Chen: “Where is Xiao Fei?”

Mrs. Chen pursed her lips: “She’s in the carriage. She’s injured and can’t leave.”

Aunt Huang opened the curtain and took a look. The spacious area in the mule carriage was covered with several thick layers of mattresses. Gu Fei was lying on her back in the carriage, enjoying herself.

Aunt Huang put down the curtain and secretly marveled at the Gu family’s care for Gu Fei. Then she thought: “Where are your things?”

“You didn’t bring anything? You have to bring food!”

Mrs. Chen’s eyes flashed: “Of course, we bring food with us. My Sanlang is in the city. There are two carriages in the city, and everything is in there.”

Aunt Huang exclaimed: “There are two more carriages! Your family is prosperous.”

Just as she was talking, Gu Zhong drove a mule cart over and called Gu Zhang: “Mom refuses to leave. What should I do? She is making trouble at home.”

Gu Zhang glanced at Gu Qing and Erlang, “Go and bring your grandmother over.”

Gu Qing and Gu Erlang ran away in a hurry.
