Once again, the Gu Family treated the village to a spectacle. The villagers, who had initially been somewhat wary of them, watched their endless farces and realized these people were nothing special.
The happiest person of all was the village chief. It was better for these people to stir up trouble; that way, no one would covet his position.
If a large clan couldn't even unite its own members, outsiders had nothing to fear.
An endless stream of people came to pay their New Year's respects today. Zhu Ziqiang beamed from ear to ear all day. When he encountered children, he was uncharacteristically generous, grabbing a handful of peanuts for each of them.
After the first wave of visitors left, it was time for his family to go out and pay their respects to the elders. Watching the children running around the courtyard, he suddenly remembered. "Make sure you stop by the Gu Family's home at the end of the village later."
