Gu Zhang opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but lowered his head dejectedly.
Eldest Uncle-in-law then left.
The rest of the group departed sullenly.
Gu Zhang sat in the main hall, staring into space.
'It wasn't that he didn't want to help them. His own brother, his own brother-in-law—how could he not want to help? But what could he do? He truly couldn't help!'
Gu Fei remained silent in her room.
'Her thoughts mirrored her father's. If she could help, she would have.'
'It wasn't just her eldest uncle-in-law and aunt; her younger uncle and aunt had been quite good to her as well.'
'But her abilities were limited. She had to rack her brain just to come up with the idea of growing chili peppers.'
Just then, Mrs. Chen opened the door and spoke to the still-dazed Gu Zhang, "Husband, are we moving or not?"
Gu Zhang sighed and waved his hand. "Let's move."
