I used space to carry a lot of supplies to escape famine in ancient times
Chapter 56 Family Test
In the days after the completion of the water conservancy project, the village was immersed in the joy of a good harvest and a beautiful vision of the future. The golden wheat waves swayed gently in the breeze, as if the earth was singing a hymn for Gu Qianning, Chu Mohan and all the villagers. Gu Qianning and Chu Mohan shuttled through the fields every day, sharing the joy of harvest with the villagers and feeling the rewards of hard work.
However, this peace and beauty did not last long. One morning, when the first ray of sunlight just sprinkled on the roof of the village, a burst of hurried horse hooves broke the tranquility. Gu Qianning and Chu Mohan walked out of the house upon hearing the sound, only to see a gorgeously decorated carriage parked in the center of the village.
The door slowly opened, and a middle-aged man in elegant clothes got off the carriage. He was followed by several followers, each with an arrogant look on his face. Gu Qianning looked at this strange yet familiar face, trying to search in her memory. Suddenly, she remembered this person - he was her distant cousin, and she had not been in touch for many years.
"Qian Ning, I haven't seen you for many years. You've grown so big." My uncle forced a smile on his face, but his eyes revealed an unfathomable shrewdness.
Gu Qianning smiled politely and said, "Uncle, why are you here suddenly?"
My uncle looked around and said, "I heard that you are doing well here, so I came to see you. By the way, I have something to discuss with you."
Gu Qianning invited her cousin and his followers into the house and poured them some tea. Her cousin took a sip of tea, cleared his throat, and began to explain his purpose.
"Qian Ning, you see, although you have made some achievements in this small village, it is still too limited after all. I have some businesses in the city and I need manpower recently. I think you are smart and you are my relative, so I want you to come back to the city with me and help me manage the business. Of course, I will not treat you unfairly." Gu Qian Ning was surprised by her uncle's words.
She looked at Chu Mohan who was sitting next to her, and then said, "Uncle, I live very well here, and there are still many things I need to do in the village. I have no plans to leave for the time being."
My uncle frowned and said, "Qianning, don't be ungrateful. I'm giving you a chance to live a better life. What future do you have here?"
Gu Qianning said firmly: "Uncle, I know you are doing this for my own good, but I really don't want to leave. This is my home, and I have my own responsibilities and dreams."
My cousin sneered: "Responsibility? Dream? Don't be so naive. This world is very realistic. Without money and power, you can't do anything."
At this time, Chu Mohan couldn't help but say: "Uncle, Qian Ning's choice should be respected. She has made a lot of contributions to the village here, and we can't live without her."
The uncle glanced at Chu Mohan and said disdainfully: "Who do you think you are? You are just a country boy, how can you bring happiness to Qian Ning? If Qian Ning follows you, she will only stay in this poor and remote place for the rest of her life, burying her talent."
Chu Mohan's face turned ugly, and he said, "Uncle, Qian Ning and I are truly in love, and we will work together for the development of the village. Please don't say that."
The cousin laughed at him, "True love? Can it be used to make a living? Qianning, think carefully, what future do you have if you follow him? As long as you come back to the city with me, I can introduce you to a rich young man who is a good match for you and let you live a life of wealth and glory."
Gu Qianning said angrily, "Uncle, you are going too far! The relationship between Chu Mohan and I cannot be measured by money and power. I will not go back to the city with you, please don't mention this matter again in the future."
Seeing Gu Qianning's firm attitude, the uncle changed his strategy. He began to spread rumors in the village, saying that Chu Mohan was with Gu Qianning for her property, and that Gu Qianning was destroying her future by following Chu Mohan. These rumors quickly spread in the village, and the villagers began to doubt the relationship between Chu Mohan and Gu Qianning, and they looked at Chu Mohan with strange eyes.
Chu Mohan felt very aggrieved and helpless, he didn't know how to face these rumors and the eyes of the villagers. Gu Qianning also fell into pain, on the one hand she didn't want to hurt her cousin's affection, on the other hand she couldn't give up her relationship with Chu Mohan.
One night, Gu Qianning and Chu Mohan sat by the river, looking at the stars in the sky, their hearts filled with worry.
"Mo Han, I really don't know what to do. Although what my cousin said is not right, he is my relative after all, and I don't want to make things too awkward with him. But these rumors have affected our lives, and I'm afraid our relationship will be affected." Gu Qianning's voice was tinged with tears.
Chu Mohan held Gu Qianning's hand and said, "Qianning, don't worry. I believe that our relationship is indestructible, and these rumors will be broken sooner or later. As long as we stick to our choice, we will be able to get through this difficult time."
Gu Qianning nodded and said, "Mo Han, you are right. We cannot be defeated by these difficulties. We must prove to our uncle and the villagers that our choice is correct."
Since then, Gu Qianning and Chu Mohan have worked harder and harder, using practical actions to prove their value and feelings, helping the villagers solve the difficulties in life, organizing various cultural activities, and making the life of the village more colorful.
Gradually, the villagers began to realize that the rumors were groundless. They saw the contributions that Chu Mohan and Gu Qianning had made to the village, and the sincere feelings between them. The villagers stood up one after another, condemned the cousin's behavior, and supported Gu Qianning and Chu Mohan.
Seeing that his plan had failed, the cousin was very angry. He decided to use his last resort to try to destroy the water conservancy project to threaten Gu Qianning. One night, the cousin and his followers secretly came to the dam of the water conservancy project, preparing to destroy the key parts of the dam.
Fortunately, Gu Qianning and Chu Mohan discovered the cousin's conspiracy in time. They led the villagers to the dam and stopped the cousin's behavior.
"Uncle, how could you do such a thing? Not only will you destroy the village, but you will also hurt all the villagers." Gu Qianning said angrily.
When the uncle saw that the matter was exposed, he knew that he had no way out. He lowered his head and said, "Qian Ning, I was wrong. I was blinded by money and power and did these stupid things. I am sorry for you and the villagers."
Gu Qianning looked at her uncle. Although she was very angry, she chose to forgive him. "Uncle, I hope you won't do this again. We are all family. We should support and understand each other instead of hurting each other."
The uncle left the village in shame and never appeared again. After this test of family affection, Gu Qianning and Chu Mohan's relationship became stronger. They knew that no matter what difficulties they encountered in the future, as long as they supported each other and trusted each other, they would be able to overcome everything.
