Gu's mother's words revealed the fig leaf that Gu Tingchuan had been hiding for a long time. Yes, he always felt that his parents liked his younger brother more than him, but in fact, he was the one who enjoyed more care from his parents. If his parents had not been there all these years, his life would definitely not have been as easy as it is now.
It would be more accurate to say that his parents supported him rather than lived with him. All the money his parents earned over the years was spent on him. If he relied on himself, it would take him a long time to earn enough to buy a big tiled house, let alone have any money left over.
For a moment he blushed and lowered his head.
Mrs. Gu didn't expect that the family had so much spare money. Building a brick house would cost about 500 yuan at most, and the two families could each get more than 100 yuan from the remaining money.
She was about to live in a brick house and have so much money in her hands. It was like a surprise that fell on her head, making her so excited that she didn't know what to say.
"Dad, I don't want the money. You two have spent all your earnings on me. I can't face Tingzhou anymore. Just build a house for me. I will take care of myself in the future.
"You can give the remaining money to Tingzhou. His family also lives in a mud house, and they may need to build a house in the future. Think of this money as a gift from you two elders." Gu Tingchuan said to his father with a serious look on his face.
"Boss, I'm truly relieved that you think this way. As long as you brothers love each other and don't worry too much about gains and losses, your future life will definitely be fine.
"I know my son. The second son won't accept this money. He has a job and can earn money. I'm not worried about him. You've been filial to us for many years. For once, I'll be a partial father and favor you. I'll give you this money so you can settle down and support your family. This is just one time, and it won't happen again." Father Gu said to his eldest son with tears in his eyes.
Gu's father used to always feel that his eldest son needed his help, but after what happened with Gu Tinghua, he also came to see things more clearly. A piece of jade cannot be made into a useful object without being polished. The children have grown up, and if they are not allowed to experience the ups and downs on their own, they will never grow up. Now it seems that dividing the family is a decision that everyone is happy with.
"Dad..." The father and son met eyes, and everything was said without words.
Mrs. Gu breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, her father-in-law didn't agree. What a foolish man she was. He gave away the money he had earned. Wasn't he stupid? The second son's family was rich. Did they need him to give in? He was showing off.
So it was decided that the family would build a house and divide the family.
Lying in bed, Brother Gu recalled his parents' sacrifices over the years and how he would have to support his family alone in the future. He tossed and turned, unable to sleep.
Mrs. Gu was so excited about the new house she was about to live in and the money she would soon get that she couldn't sleep.
"Pinch me, am I dreaming? Are we really going to separate?" Mrs. Gu grinned foolishly.
"Silly boy, I'm going to tell you something in advance. This time I've granted your wish and we'll split up the family. From now on, you better stop causing trouble and live a good life.
After separation, our family should be like the second brother's family. Any good food should be sent to the elders to try, and we should express our gratitude to our parents during the holidays.
"They can still earn work points now, so let's not even talk about money and food. When they can't work anymore, if they're willing to live with us, I'll take them in. You're not allowed to get mad. If they don't want to, we have to give them money and food to support them in their old age." Brother Gu said seriously to his daughter-in-law.
"Of course I have to, Boss Gu. Don't judge people by their appearance and look down on them. Do I have a heart as bad as you think? Apart from not giving you a son, how have I done anything wrong to your Gu family over the years?" Mrs. Gu said indignantly.
"Okay, that's enough, go to sleep and don't wake the kids." Brother Gu quickly pulled the quilt over his head, and the world became quiet.
"I just won't sleep, Gu Tingchuan. Get up quickly. I don't believe it. I'm destined to have a son in this life. The old Chinese doctor told me to take some medicine to regulate my body, and I'm sure I'll be happy." Mrs. Gu sat on Brother Gu's waist and forcibly pulled him up. The two of them made love.
The other side
Gu's father and mother were also tossing and turning in bed.
"What the eldest brother said reminded me that the second brother's house is also quite old. Why don't we take advantage of the convenience of the eldest brother building his own house this time and let the second brother build a brick house as well?
After he returns to the army, we can help take care of it and build a few more houses. When the two children get married, they can live there. The brick and tile houses are sturdy, and they won’t have to build houses for the rest of their lives. ” Mother Gu suddenly remembered something and said immediately.
"Then go ask them what they think tomorrow." Father Gu muttered softly, and the next moment, his snoring was heard in the room.
the next day
Li Qingyun took the stack of money that Gu's mother stuffed into her hand with a look of surprise. What a good day it was today that someone came forward to give her money.
When Gu's mother told them what happened at home yesterday, Gu Tingzhou and Li Qingyun were a little surprised. They didn't expect that they would end up separating. They didn't expect that they would save a huge sum of 300 yuan for their family. It was really not easy.
Gu's father and mother are wise parents and they are open-minded. They know that when children grow up, it is harmful to keep them by their side. The second child is the best example. Children who go out on their own will go further, higher and better.
"Qingyun, this money should have been given to you a long time ago, but you were really disorganized in those years. Your father and I were afraid you would squander it all, so we wanted to save it for our two children to get married in the future. Now, in front of the second child, Mom is giving this money to you. You can live a good life from now on."
After observing for a period of time, Mother Gu discovered that the second son's wife was a promising woman, so she felt relieved. Whether it would be good or bad in the future, she should let the young people make their own way.
"Since this money has been given to you, you should keep it for your retirement. It's not easy to support him." Li Qingyun didn't care. Although three hundred yuan was a lot, she had nearly ten thousand yuan in her space, so she was willing to spend this little money. She was still moved by Mother Gu's motherly heart.
