Chapter 23 Convincing Parents
"Dad, you better listen to me. You really can't handle them by yourself. Besides, as a son, don't you know what kind of person grandma is?"
Gu Haixiong felt that his daughter's words made some sense.
So, I took my wife to my eldest brother's house.
I hope this trouble can be resolved quickly and not delayed any further.
Otherwise they will really be made the scapegoats.
After their parents left, there were only three of them left in the yard.
Lu Yan saw a large water tank in the yard and was a little curious. It seemed that there was nothing else in the tank except water.
He asked: "Why don't you raise fish in this water tank? If you raise fish, you can take them to the market and sell them for money. Then you can have money to supplement your family income."
It seems a strange idea to raise fish in a water tank, but I don’t know if my parents would agree.
Besides, if you want to raise more fish, one water tank may not be enough. If you need several water tanks, it will be a mess. You have to spend money to buy water tanks. You can't use wooden barrels because wood will expand when it comes into contact with water.
"Don't worry, I'm just giving you a suggestion. Another thing is, I don't know if your parents will agree to this. If they don't agree, we can talk about it later."
Gu Leyou was full of confidence.
"As long as I talk to them nicely, they will agree. They are the kind of understanding parents. Just like when you brought your child to our house this time, my parents didn't make things too difficult for you. As parents, they all want their children to live a happy life. They are just afraid that I will suffer after marrying you." Gu Leyou explained.
Gu Haixiong and his wife arrived at their eldest brother's house.
When the mother-in-law saw the second son's family coming, she politely asked about her granddaughter's situation.
"The second brother's family is here. Has your girl been staying at home and behaving herself recently? Don't cause any trouble for me. Our Gu family has become a joke in this village."
Old Mrs. Gu was sitting in the yard, saying these words as if she was criticizing the couple.
It seems like she is saying that as her granddaughter's parents, they should play an educational role.
"We came here today to talk to my eldest brother and his wife. Are they at home? Is Mingyue at home?" asked Lin.
"Your elder brother and his wife went out for something, and Mingyue went out to play with her friends. What's wrong? They are the ones who are causing trouble for you and making you unhappy."
Old Mrs. Gu felt that her second son and daughter-in-law came to see her for no good reason, so her tone of voice was clearly unhappy when she replied.
"Master, I knew that my elder brother and his wife would not be waiting for us at home. They must have heard the news from somewhere and ran away a long time ago. If they were not guilty, why would they run away?" Lin said in a sarcastic tone.
These words were obviously meant for Old Madam Gu.
Although the old lady is old, she is not stupid and knows that the second son's wife said this for her to hear, and it is obvious that she is also warning her.
"Don't bother your eldest brother and eldest sister-in-law for no reason. If it weren't for your eldest sister-in-law, your girl probably wouldn't be able to get married in the future, so you should learn to be grateful."
Lin found it ridiculous.
Just because they blackmail us, should we be grateful to them? There is no such thing in the world.
Gu Haixiong felt that there was no need to conflict with his mother, so he said with a smile: "Since my eldest brother and his wife are not at home, let's go back first."
After saying that, he took his wife and left his eldest brother's house.
Lin was quite angry.
But the family still had to listen to Gu Haixiong, so they dared not say anything despite their anger.
When I got back home, the hunters had already gone home.
Even my daughter was no longer in the yard.
Gu Leyou heard the noise and walked out from the inner room. Seeing that his parents looked unhappy, he hurried forward to ask.
"Well, what do uncle, aunt, and Gu Mingyue say?"
Lin sat down on a chair nearby and looked at her husband with a resentful face.
"Ask your father. He knows."
"What are you talking about? It seems like I'm to blame for everything. Do you still suspect that I was the one who tipped them off and let them run away?" Gu Haixiong said with an unhappy look on his face.
Seeing that his parents were not getting along, Gu Leyou changed the subject.
"Mom and Dad, I think we can grow rice on the land we have, and we can raise fish in this water tank. We can all sell them for money."
The couple found it a little unbelievable when they heard their daughter say this.
They had never heard of these ways of making money before.
Is this really possible?
"My daughter, don't read these money-making methods from some book. You don't even know if they will work. Don't let someone get killed or get sick. We don't want to cause any trouble."
These words were said by Gu Haixiong.
"Dad, what I said is not a way to harm others. As long as we have money, we can send my brother to school. We don't have to sneak him to the teacher's house every time. If we keep doing this, someone will find out and say something unpleasant."
Gu Leyou knows how to persuade people.
She knew that her parents were thinking about her younger brother.
As long as it is good for their brother, they will definitely agree.
Sure enough, when Mrs. Lin heard that it was for the good of her son, she began to persuade her husband.
"Master, our daughter is right. We can't always let our son go to that teacher to learn secretly. If this goes on for a long time and he is discovered, it will be bad for our son's reputation."
"But if you let your daughter do something that has never been tried before, and if she loses money, we will be in debt." Gu Haixiong was still worried about their family's financial situation.
After all, ever since the family split up, they have been spending more than they earn.
The spare money I finally managed to make was earned by my daughter selling herbs.
To reassure her parents, she took money out of her pocket.
It's a small package of money.
"Dad and Mom, please believe me. This is the money I earned. You should keep it well. If the aunt and the others ask you for money again, don't give it out. I kept a small portion for my brother to buy books. You can save the rest of the money and give it to the teacher for tuition. Even if my brother wants to go to a school far away, I believe it will be enough to pay for it in a few days."
Lin took the purse, opened it, took out the money inside and counted it.
She looked at her daughter in disbelief, "How could you sell those herbs for so much money? I thought it would be a few dozen coins at most, but I didn't expect it to be several taels of silver. Oh, by the way, what is this small package?"
"These are some vegetable seeds I bought. When my father reclaims this vacant land tomorrow, we can plant some vegetables. When the vegetables are ripe, we can sell them and exchange them for money." Gu Leyou explained.
