Chapter 282 Should we go and beg them?
"So where are we moving to? Does the new ginger look good?"
Lin Cai couldn't answer those two questions; she could only tell Xiao Chunhua that she didn't know yet.
Xiao Chunhua felt a little disappointed when she didn't get an answer. She didn't even know what the new home would be like, and she was already moving away from here. What if their new home wasn't good?
A great sorrow filled her little heart!
Lin Cai said she was leaving. She had already made arrangements with the Gu family and went to the Lin family home. Lin's parents had never doubted their daughter.
When their daughter mentioned moving, they were happy to oblige, but it seemed like they had a lot of stuff at home that was difficult to move.
"Don't take too much stuff, just take the essentials, and don't take the rest that isn't important."
Lin's mother understood this principle, but she just couldn't bear to part with it. After all, it was her family business, and it would be such a waste to just give it up!
After hearing about this, Lin Bao went to Gu Zhan's house. When he came out, he was carrying a lot of things.
Upon seeing what he took out, the Lin family members almost ganged up on him.
"You were told to take your own things, so why did you go to someone else's house? What business is it of yours what's in their house?"
"How can it not be related? He already said he was going to give it to me, so of course I'm taking it since I'm leaving. Otherwise, what's the point of leaving these things there? To feed the rats and spiders!"
"He said he would give it to you, so why should he? What right does he have to give it to you?"
Upon hearing the question, Lin Bao immediately wanted to blurt it out, but he swallowed the words back and simply said, "Of course it's because he and I are brothers."
“My brother and I have a good relationship, so his things are mine, and my things are mine. What’s wrong with that?”
When Lin Bao said this, his tone was a bit arrogant. His mother couldn't stand it anymore and slapped him.
"If someone tells you to take it, just take it properly. What are you showing off? Are you afraid others won't see it, or that they won't know you have meat to eat?"
That's right, all that Lin Bao brought over was meat, all dried rabbits and pheasants, packed in a large bag.
Thankfully they were air-dried, otherwise, with such a large pile, I probably wouldn't have been able to take them with me.
While they were packing their things, Gu Jiao'er was looking outside the door. Huani knew what she was looking at just by looking at her.
Then, while packing her things, she said, "Don't look outside anymore. The person you're looking at isn't home."
"Isn't he home? How could he not be home? Where did he go? Once you've all moved away, will he still be able to find you?"
"He went out because he had something to do and hasn't come back yet. He'll be back once he's done. As for your question about whether he can find us, I can't answer that either."
The speaker was Lin Cai, who had just come in. She had come to ask Gu Jiao'er. When Lin Cai asked if she wanted to come along, Gu Jiao'er was silent for a moment before asking, "Will he be able to find you?"
Lin Cai nodded: "Okay."
Scarface is connected to that person; if we find that person, we can find Scarface.
After hearing what she said, Gu Jiao'er nodded and said, "Then I'll go with you."
"Okay, but there's something I need to tell you first. If you want to come with us..."
She was referring to the Gu family's affairs. After listening, Gu Jiao'er replied without hesitation, "Don't worry, I won't help them anymore, and I won't have anything to do with them again."
"If you ever find out that I'm involved with them, you can just throw me away."
She was a young girl walking with them. If she were abandoned on the road, she would definitely be abandoned.
By saying such a thing, Gu Jiao'er was essentially risking her life and innocence.
"Since you've said that, then remember your promise and don't come looking for me later."
The village chief told the people of Gujia Village about this, and sure enough, some of them were willing to leave, but others were not.
"Nonsense, utter nonsense! This is complete rubbish! It's already warm now, how could there be an even more severe snow disaster?"
"Now that the weather is warm, we will be able to start planting soon, and then everyone will no longer have to go hungry and will be able to fill their stomachs."
"But if we leave now, we'll have nothing left, and we'll have to compete with them for a place to stay. Wouldn't that be asking for trouble?"
"That's right, this village is our home, our roots, our ancestors have lived here for generations. If we leave here, where will we live?"
"The places outside belong to other people and have nothing to do with us. Do you think we outsiders will be kicked out if we go there?"
Upon hearing their words, the village chief's face darkened, and he stared at them intently.
"I'm just telling you the whole story; whether you want to come along or not is up to you."
"Those who don't want to come, I won't force you to come. Those who do want to come, go back and pack your things now."
The people who had been making a ruckus just moments before fell silent upon hearing these words. They were undecided whether to stay or leave. After a while, one of them asked.
"Village chief, if we leave like this, will we ever have a chance to come back? Will we ever have a chance to return here?"
"Of course, this is our home, and we can always come back."
After the village chief finished speaking, he told them to go back. Those who needed to pack their things should do so, and those who didn't want to leave should leave quickly so as not to delay them from packing.
After everyone packed their things, they agreed to meet at the village entrance three days later, but when that day came, not many people were willing to go.
Looking at those who were willing to come, the village chief counted them. There were five families in total, and almost all of them were people who had done business with the Lin family in the past.
The village chief looked at Lin Cai: "Lin girl, look at all these people. How about..."
He wanted to go back and try to persuade them to leave with him, but Lin Cai interrupted him directly.
"If they don't want to, they don't want to. Why can't we leave on our own? We've said everything we needed to say. It's their own fault for not wanting to go. Are you, village chief, going to beg them?"
Upon hearing this, the village chief fell silent. Of course, it was impossible to beg them. He took one last look at the place where he had lived most of his life, then shook his head and left.
His home is right here, he's not going anywhere. Once he gets through this ordeal, he'll bring his family back.
