Gutu and Gu Lao chatted all the way, and Gu Lao stopped talking until he arrived at a restaurant. Gu Tu was tactful and didn't ask any more questions.

"Where is the cultivation level of Guan and Donglai, why has he never seen him show his cultivation level?" Gu Tu and Gu Lao walked out of a restaurant with some food.

"I have never seen him show his cultivation, nor have he dealt with others. But over the years, there have been some things that have puzzled me. He went to find news about Guan and his sister, and some of the people he had seen were all the best figures in the Three Realms. Even if anyone was famous, they were all polite when they saw Donglai. Sometimes some people didn't even dare to show off their anger and were cautious. Even if I knew some of the most powerful families in the Three Realms, I had never seen such a person." An ancient face showed a proud expression. Maybe it was because he really regarded Zi Dong as his son.

"Oh, I thought he was orphan like us, and you picked up the orphans." Gu Tu said unexpectedly. Guan Yu had never told them about them. They always thought that Zi Donglai was orphans like them, but now they got such an answer.

Gu Lao no longer spoke, but walked into the yard with a food box. Gu Tu didn't ask anything.

A few miles away from their house, the Cheng family was holding a meeting of elders for a headache. The Cheng family here was the team of people Zi Donglai met in the 100,000 mountains in the southeast. It was also the small family in Luocheng where his sister was born.

In fact, the so-called elders are just some elders of their family. In families like them, there will be no outsiders to serve as elders, nor will they spend money to hire elders, so they are all their own families.

Since the Cheng family has been operating the maw bureau for a long time, it is managed by the adult men in the family, which will facilitate the family to better centralize power and allow all the family members to live a better life.

The grandfather of the current head of the Cheng family has two brothers. The three of them organized the current escort agency together. The three of them also became the nominal Supreme Elder, but after a long period of hard work, there is only one Supreme Elder left, which is the third grandfather of the current head of the family.

There are six current elders, namely the father and brother of the current head of the family, and three other uncles and uncles. They are also descendants of the Great Supreme Elder and the Second Supreme Elder.

"Elders are all aware of what's going on. If you have any ideas, please discuss them together." Cheng Ke, the current head of the Cheng family, sat on the chair of the Grand Master, said. In this room, there is no difference between elders and younger generations, only the head of the family and elders.

"I think this matter is not simple. With our long-term cooperative relationship with the Lin family, they don't have to turn against us for a mistake." The person who spoke was the Great Elder and the eldest son of Grandpa Cheng Ke.

"Brother, I think the Lin family is deliberately making things difficult for us. Our two families have worked together for so many years and have not escorted the Lin family once, twice, ten or eight times, so why did they miss this time? If they were valuables, they would recognize them, but they were all irrelevant medicinal materials at once." The Sixth Elder was a little angry. He was originally impatient and had a bad temper.

The sixth elder relied on his own that he was the only son of the Supreme Elder, so he did not take anyone seriously in the family, even the head of the family Cheng Ke would occasionally eat ashes from him.

"What's the use of saying this now? Why didn't you check the goods carefully? If you looked carefully, would this happen now?" Wu Chang said coldly. He was the brother of the Sixth Elder who was just talking. Because their fathers were the Supreme Elder, they were usually very arrogant.

"The third brother, it's not that I said you, you didn't care about escorting before. I thought this time was just the same as before. It was just an irrelevant thing, so I asked you to leave. That's it~~" Cheng Ke's father Cheng Changsheng said, looking at Cheng Changxiao, who was sitting at the back and keeping his head down and not talking.

Cheng Ke's grandfather gave birth to three sons. His father was the second elder. The fourth elder Cheng Changxiao who had just been scolded by his father was also Cheng Ke's third uncle, and Cheng Ke's second uncle was Cheng Changqing, who had never spoken.

"Brother, what's the use of saying this now? The Lin family members will come tomorrow. Let's discuss the conditions for the Lin family to come up with the conditions for the settlement and compensation." The person who spoke was Cheng Changqing, the second uncle of Cheng Ke, the head of the Third Elder's hometown.

"I will deal with the matter I have done myself. I will compensate Cheng Changxiao, I will not implicate you." The fourth elder Cheng Changxiao, who had never spoken, suddenly said.

"I'll pay compensation, what do you pay for? A thousand-year-old blood ginseng? The parents ask for 50,000 taels of gold, 50,000 taels of gold. Have you seen 50,000 taels of gold?" Cheng Changsheng stared at his third brother angrily, as if he was going to swallow him alive.

"Stop quarrel, don't say whether this thousand-year-old blood ginseng is true or false, it's useless now. People from the Lin family will come tomorrow. To save our reputation, the money will definitely be compensated, but the money will not be available for a while. After the Lin family comes tomorrow, I will discuss with them to see if it can be delayed for a while. As for money, please tell me how to make the right one." The person who spoke was the Great Elder, and the only son of the Great Supreme Elder.

"The third brother lost the goods, and he should bear the responsibility. However, the third brother has not earned much in recent years. Why don't you pay 10,000 taels for your brother, brother and the fifth brother and sixth brother, and we will find a way for the rest of us." Cheng Changsheng was also a little embarrassed, after all, he was unable to talk about such offending things.

"Since the second brother said this, then do it. I will pay 5,000 taels for the three of us. The fifth brother and the sixth brother went back to discuss the remaining 5,000 taels." The elder beat the bill. Although some people were definitely unhappy, they could only do this. In order to maintain the family's existence and have a better development, they could only swallow their opinions, otherwise the family would be gone, and what money would they have to talk about.

The problem of losing money was finally passed, and the few people in the room were no longer necessary to stay. The Great Elder first left the Grand Council Hall. The Fifth Elder then stood up and left. The Sixth Elder and the Second Elder said a few words and then quickly chased out.

"Ke'er, how much money do you have? Take it out. Don't be stunned, second and third brothers, go back and find a way." Cheng Changsheng said to the remaining three people in the room.

Cheng Changxiao left without chewing. Cheng Changqing originally wanted to say something to his elder brother, but after seeing Cheng Changsheng's gaze, he swallowed the words to his mouth and left the conference hall worriedly.

"Dad, you are back." As soon as Cheng Changqing arrived at the gate of his yard, he saw his son Cheng Ai who was waiting there.

"Well, are their mothers coming back? How about it? Is there any news about Ruoyi's illness?" Cheng Changqing was widowed in his early years and had only one son to accompany him. Later, he married the little daughter of the Yang family in Luocheng, and later gave birth to Cheng Ruoyi, who was known to the entire Luocheng.

But no matter how you look at it or say it, Cheng Changqing's love for his granddaughter has never decreased at all. Over the years, all the money he and his son have obtained in the family have been used to treat his granddaughter. This is also the reason why he was worried when he first came out of the head of the family, because he really couldn't get much money. Even when he used money in urgent need, his daughter-in-law borrowed it from his parents' home.
