But then again, if Doctor Wei had stayed in the city, Gu Laosi would not have had the opportunity to study medicine with Doctor Wei.

"I think it's okay! Look at my second sister-in-law. She didn't suffer any hardship at my sister's place!"

Gu Laosi was born weak and had a gentle temperament.

He is not like the men around him, who are full of male chauvinism and often beat and scold their wives.

Gu Laosi is like a weak little scholar, and he is very gentle and loving to his wife.

The young couple has been married for two or three years and they are very loving and sweet.

Although they don't have children yet, they both regard each other as their only support.

Gu Laosi really wanted a place, but if the conditions at his third sister's place were not good, his wife would really be treated like a slave if she went there, and he couldn't bear to let her go.

Only when he saw Second Sister Gu coming back with a rosy face did Fourth Sister Gu confirm: Third Sister's family is well-off, and if his wife goes there, she can still enjoy a good life!

Gu Laosi was relieved.

"Yes! Look at my second sister-in-law's new cotton-padded jacket. The floral fabric is new, and the cotton is new too. I secretly touched it, and it was so soft and warm!"

Such good cotton-padded clothes were the first of their kind in their production team.

It’s not that they really can’t afford it, but they need additional tickets to buy cloth, and they need cotton tickets to buy cotton.

Even for workers, the number of bills they receive each month is limited.

If I want to make a thick new cotton-padded jacket, I’ll probably have to save up for a long time.

Not to mention the farmers in their countryside, they don’t have tickets and are not well-off.

Many people's cotton-padded clothes were patched up, and the cotton inside had turned black and hard, and had clumped together.

It’s nothing like my second sister-in-law’s, it’s new from the inside out, it’s so rare to look at!

"I'm going to the city to enjoy myself this time."

Gu Laosi: ...

He glanced at his wife and reminded her, "Don't just think about enjoying yourself. You should help my sister sincerely!"

My sister is not stupid!

Just by looking at her "competition" among the three brothers, you can tell that this elder sister of yours has not only become prettier and more promising after living in the city for a few years, but her brain has also become more alert!

Gu Si's wife glared at Gu Lao Si with a coquettish look, "Do you even need to tell me that? I'm not stupid!"

When asking someone to do something for you, you must have the attitude of asking for help.

If you want to take advantage of others, you must also know your place.

He clearly wants to benefit others, but he still thinks of himself as the ancestor.

Haha, how stupid can someone be to do such a stupid thing?!

…

The next day, the Gu family had breakfast in the main room as usual.

Just after finishing her meal, before she even put down her bowl, Mrs. Gu spoke eagerly—

"dad!"

Almost at the same time, Gu Si's wife also shouted, "Dad!"

Father Gu: ...

have to!

Here we come!

Last night, it wasn’t just the eldest and fourth couples who stayed awake all night.

The old couple of the Gu family also chatted with their eyes open for half the night.

Father Gu knew that the second son's family's return had greatly stimulated the first and fourth wives.

The three brothers were originally in similar situations, but things became different because of Gu Xiaoni. No one would be happy if it were someone else's turn.

He and his wife discussed it over and over again, but they were in a dilemma.

There's no way, the palms and backs of the hands are all flesh.

As the elderly, they have tried their best to treat everyone equally.

But the children don’t think so. They all feel that their parents are biased towards one side!

Finally, Gu's father made a decision: fairness must be maintained. Once the second son's future is secure, the jobs of the eldest and fourth sons must be secured.

So, at the Eight Immortals Table, looking at the anxious Mrs. Gu and the expectant Mrs. Gu, Father Gu didn't even wait for them to speak before saying, "This time, it's the turn of Guyu from the eldest family and the fourth wife to go!"

This is the best arrangement and the fairest solution that Gu's father can come up with.

The eldest and his wife and the fourth and his wife were indeed very satisfied.

Only Gu Ersao said, "Dad! I'll go too! I'm used to being busy at Xiaoni's house, and I'm familiar with the neighbors—"

Father Gu raised his old eyes and looked at Second Sister-in-law Gu calmly, "Although Xiaoni has her own yard, there are only a few houses. If she goes there, will she be able to live there?"

"Another thing is, if you all go to the city, who will do the housework?"

"Should I do it? Or should your mother-in-law do it?"

"If that's the case, none of you should go. Just let your mother-in-law go into town."

"She is Xiaoni's biological mother. It is only natural for her to take care of her own daughter, and she will be even more dedicated!"

When Father Gu spoke, his tone was clearly a warning—

He still has the final say in this family.

Even if their son and daughter-in-law have grown powerful, they still have to obey them.

Because, in addition to being the head of the family, he is also Gu Xiaoni's biological father!

If you want to take advantage of Gu Xiaoni, you must first appease Gu's father and mother, otherwise——

Mrs. Gu was very smart. She heard the threat in Mr. Gu's words, suppressed her reluctance, and nodded in agreement.

Humph, this time I’ll give you a discount on the first and fourth bedrooms.

After a year or two, we will rotate again.

Or, there is no need to wait so long, in case the eldest son's wife and the fourth son's family cheat and offend the younger sister-in-law.

hey-hey--

Mrs. Gu & Mrs. Gu Si: ...Do you think we're stupid? Don't worry, we will definitely seize the opportunity and perform well!

ps: Hehe, the third update will be a little later!
