Carrying a Lucky Charm, I Thrive with My Husband on the Road to Exile Chapter 151: Resolution

Gu Baijiang was just thinking about resolving the matter today, hoping the Gu Family clan would not be so aggressive, but he didn’t expect that upon arrival, there were even more onlookers than their group.

Before Gu Baijiang could say anything, his two sons behind him started to retreat. If they had to recount everything again in public, wouldn’t they lose face?

"Everyone, we’d like to handle so family matters next, and we hope you can give us so face and not crowd around here," Gu Baijiang thickened his face to cup his hands and began to disperse the crowd.

"Master Gu, you’re being too domineering, didn’t you see we were settling here? Watching all these matters is happening here.

If you have any secrets, you can go a bit farther to talk. Who would want to listen to your family’s trivial matters?"

"Yeah, every day it’s always sothing with you."

"I ate too much today, taking a walk to digest."

If you’re making excuses, find a better one, haven’t you walked enough for a day?

"I think the scenery here is nice..."

"I’m here to find my sister-in-law..."

Embarrassed after being seen through for watching the spectacle, everyone started to find words to counter.

Gu Baijiang could only helplessly say to Gu Li, "Shall we step aside to talk?"

Gu Li remained boldly seated there, showing no rcy to Gu Baijiang, "Nothing can’t be said to outsiders, at least we have a clear conscience."

Gu Baijiang’s face froze, the Gu Family could act with integrity, but he was afraid.

Only he knew how unclean his background was, and once again regretted that over the years, in the struggle for power and profit, despite dissatisfaction with the family, he still offered so benefits. These damn bumpkins were like mad dogs, would they not let go?

But now he’s no longer the Assistant Minister of the Ministry of War, and has no authority to drive these people away. Didn’t he see those escorts who arrived also standing by watching the show, without intervening?

They were not popular in the exile team now, and didn’t dare to offend these people anymore.

"Granduncle, I know so things were not done right by my father and , and we dare not expect your forgiveness. We just want to make so compensation to you all..."

Before Gu Kaiping could finish, he was shoved aside by Gu Baixi, "When elders speak, how can a junior interrupt? Did you and your father read all your books into the dog’s belly over these years?"

"Third Uncle," Gu Kaiping naturally knew who the person was, the year he returned with his father to pay respects to their ancestors, this Third Uncle even took him to play in the village for a few days.

"It’s rare, the eldest son of the Gu Family still recognizes this poor relative. Those who don’t know might think your branch sprang from a crack in a stone, without ancestors, without kin," Gu Baixi almost pointed at this family and scolded them for betraying their ancestors and kin.

"Enough, Old Third, don’t argue with them, let’s hear how they plan to compensate first," Gu Baihe had no regard for Gu Baijiang, but this wasn’t sothing their family alone could decide, with so many clansn, getting so justice would also recover so loss.

"We pooled together and scraped up one hundred taels of silver for everyone," Gu Baijiang took the silver from Gu Kaiping’s hand and placed it in front of Gu Li.

One hundred taels of silver, barely over one tael per person, imdiately angered the Gu Family clan.

Such a small amount of silver couldn’t even cover the losses of their twenty-odd households, over eighty people?

Not even enough for the foundation of a house, was this so kind of joke?

"Is this your sincerity," Gu Li lowered his eyes to look at his shoe tips.

"Uncle, I also know this silver can’t make up for everyone, but you should know our house was also raided, this was pooled together by relatives and friends," Gu Baijiang also wanted to throw a silver note in the other’s face, but was helplessly short of money. This was really what they could afford to gather.

"We don’t want the silver, we just want our own house and land back.

We supported you to study back then, but didn’t receive the slightest reward, now we’re ruined by you, with these dozens of taels of silver, how do you view our Gu Family clan?"

"Yes, Clan Leader, we want him to compensate us for the land, for the houses..."

"..."

Gu Baihe received his father’s look and then reached out to stop everyone from getting more heated, "Everyone, please don’t worry, believe my father will give everyone a satisfying answer."

"Baijiang, you are the most educated in our entire Gu Family, everyone supported you back then, do you acknowledge it or not?"

Gu Baijiang nodded, "I acknowledge, if it weren’t for back then..."

Gu Li didn’t want to hear him self-justify, so he asked again, "But since you got promoted, you haven’t supported the family at all, do you acknowledge this or not?"

Facing those aningful gazes, Gu Baijiang imdiately felt particularly heavy-hearted, "I acknowledge."

"In all these years, the family never visited you, nor did anyone speak a word against you outside, do you acknowledge this?"

"I acknowledge."

At this mont, a wave of hissing ca from around, everyone was despising Gu Baijiang.

"Now the entire family has been implicated by you, lost hos, beco sinners, do you acknowledge this?"

"I acknowledge." Gu Baijiang could no longer bear it, directly kneeling before Gu Li, the Gu Family mbers behind him also knelt down in unison.

"Alright, since you acknowledge all this, does this an you are ungrateful?"

Gu Baijiang, "Uncle, these things all have reasons, I can slowly explain to you later..."

"I don’t understand the twists and turns of you scholars. As the Gu Family Clan Leader, I just want the family to live peacefully.

But all of this has been disrupted by you, you take this one hundred taels, buying off so many families’ children’s futures, making everyone holess and displaced, arriving in Lingnan, can this hundred taels settle so many families?"

Even a hundred taels of gold wouldn’t be enough, this was slapping the entire Gu Family’s face.

As for the supposed lack of money, Gu Li clearly didn’t believe it, if Gu Baijiang didn’t have it, could the Third Prince behind him not co up with it?

"Granduncle," Gu Kaichen felt these people were simply insatiable, "This hundred taels is all there is, nothing more.

I advise you not to take advantage..."

He even contributed several dozen taels of it, truly hoping these bumpkins would refuse, so he could snatch it back.

Gu Baijiang shuffled over on his knees and gave him a hard slap on the back of his head, "You bastard, how can you talk to your granduncle like that?

I’m still alive, since when can you make decisions about the family’s affairs."

He ca today to solve problems, not to exacerbate conflicts. How could Gu Kaichen be so thoughtless?

Gu Kaichen, holding his head, "Dad, don’t you understand by now, no matter how much you give, they’ll never be satisfied, so why endure this humiliation."
