Gu Kaiyuan was also quite disgusted by these two families. Although he didn't understand why Bai Suihe said that, he agreed briskly. "Do as my wife says. Zhuang Datou, Huang Pingguo, report back to us only when you have settled your family affairs."
After saying that, he held Gu Xingyang, gently patting her back to soothe her so she wouldn't scream wildly in her mind and hurt his wife. He would certainly handle the situation; all this noise was giving him a headache.
Bai Suihe turned and led her people back toward the Gu family estate. It was a scorching hot day; instead of crowding around here, they might as well go back, gather more saltpeter, and make some ice to beat the heat.
After Gu Kaiyuan and Bai Suihe were escorted away, the Zhuang and Huang families didn't dare to utter a single word. With just one casual remark, the two men had been stripped of their duties. If they continued to argue, they feared they wouldn't even be able to stay in the village.
