Chapter 246 Touches the Heart
"Then mom, please ask dad to come over. Who will look after grandpa?"
Gu Li initially wanted his parents to come over so that they could help him.
But now that her mother wants to open her own clothing store, she has thought of some issues that she had previously overlooked.
For example, her grandfather is now being watched by her father.
Wu Sanfeng, "Your uncle and aunt and the others. Your father and I have watched it for several years. It's time for your uncle and the others to watch it."
As for the third child, don't count on him.
When my mother passed away, he came to attend the funeral, but he never came at other times. He is truly like water spilled after a son is married off.
The 200 yuan dowry her mother-in-law asked for was a huge ask, so she cut off all contact with him.
Gu Li pouted, "Will uncle and the others be willing to watch it?"
Although her aunt doesn't say much, she has a lot of complicated thoughts in her heart.
Wu Sanfeng snorted, "You have to watch it even if you don't want to. It's impossible to bring him to Beijing anyway."
The clothing store opened by Gu Li made a lot of money. It opened in early March, and by the end of June, the money she had paid to Wu Sanfeng alone was more than three thousand.
This is enough to have the confidence just because you have money.
Wu Sanfeng wrote a letter directly to her husband Gu Yinzhu, asking him to come to Beijing so that they could open a shop together.
Although Gu Li was reluctant to let her parents open a clothing store, she was relieved because from now on the money from her store would belong to her alone.
No need to share it with her mother.
So far, Gu Li has finally found a little confidence in his rebirth.
The last few years have been terrible.
Since her rebirth, she has been studying day and night for the entrance exam to Peking University. Her hard work has paid off and she finally passed. She breathed a sigh of relief.
Later, she started dating Zhou Yinghuai and accidentally got pregnant. Although she was not opposed to pregnancy, it was more or less inconvenient for her to be pregnant during college.
Fortunately, we all got through it.
After graduation, Ying Huai got a job in a government agency, and the agency allocated them a house, which was quite big, so they no longer had to rent a house.
Ying Huai also has a salary every month. She also opened a clothing store and made a lot of money every month.
Finally, I don't have to ask for money anymore.
Along the way, Gu Li felt that it was not easy for the couple, but they finally made it through and their future will be smooth sailing.
She will be a successful boss and a graduate of Peking University.
Her family's official position will get higher and higher every year.
Under the family planning system, they had three sons.
How great! Gu Li feels confident.
Wu Sanfeng wrote to Gu Yinzhu asking him to come over, and Gu Yinzhu was of course willing to go. He was about the same age as Gu Jianhua, and he had never been to the capital.
Like Gu Jianhua, he went to the capital to open his own shop and become his own boss.
He is less than fifty years old, still young.
Judging from what his wife said in the letter, Gu Yinzhu is really full of motivation.
But when he heard that he was going to the capital, Uncle Gu also wanted to go. His eldest brother had gone to the capital to retire, and he looked so radiant and full of energy.
He also longs for it.
Gu Yinzhu was helpless, "Dad, we have nothing in Beijing now, no house, just a rented shop, I am here to help Sanfeng look after the shop!"
His wife said that although he rented a house, it was still rented and not his own. The shop and the house were all rented.
Second Uncle Gu was furious. He had to go to the capital and threatened to kill himself. "You unfilial son, your mother and I gave all our money to you, the second wife, and you still don't want to take care of us. Your mother is paralyzed, and I, an old man in my seventies, took care of her, and you two didn't care at all."
"You are such wicked people. I'm telling you this. If you don't take me with you, I'll be hanged on the beam the minute you leave."
"Let people scold you."
Uncle Gu suddenly came to his senses somehow. He used to think that as old men and women, they should try not to bother the children as much as possible. Later, he found that they were thinking about the children, but the children didn't think about them.
His previous thinking applied to obedient children, and he had to be tough with unobedient ones.
Besides, what expenses can he have in the capital? How much food can an old man like him eat?
There was nothing wrong with his body and he could walk on his own, yet they were still unwilling to take him in.
Humph, he must go!
He wants to live out his retirement life in the capital like his elder brother.
Gu Yinzhu had no choice but to take his second uncle with him. Gu Tiezhu and Li Jinhua were filial parents after all. When they heard that their father was going to the capital with his second uncle, they gave his second uncle 100 yuan.
Several grandsons each took a little, not much, just ten, twenty, or thirty yuan. But since there were so many grandsons, the total amount was about 100 or 200 yuan.
Before he left, Second Uncle Gu told Gu Tiezhu and Li Jinhua, "You should give me 10 yuan every month for my retirement."
He was so lenient to his children in the past that he never took the initiative to ask them for money, so they no longer considered him their father.
"You don't need to give this year, start giving from next year." This year's money has already been given.
Gu Tiezhu and Li Jinhua had no objection.
They can still afford to live on one hundred yuan a year.
When Second Uncle Gu said this, he was avoiding his second son, Gu Yinzhu, and said that he and his eldest son only needed ten yuan a month for their pension.
He asked for ten times more from the second brother and his wife, one hundred yuan a month.
Uncle Gu felt that asking them for one hundred yuan a month was not too much.
His elder brother said that Jianhua Xiaohe gives his elder brother and sister-in-law 200 yuan each in pocket money every month, so it is not excessive for him to ask for only 100 yuan.
But we'll talk about this after we get to the capital, so we won't mention it now.
Uncle Gu followed his second son Gu Yinzhu to the capital.
Wu Sanfeng went to the train station to pick me up.
Seeing that Uncle Gu had also arrived, her face was full of colour. She said, "Dad, why are you running around so much at such an old age?"
"But since you're here, why don't you stay for a few days, Dad? Take a look at this big city of Beijing, Tiananmen Square, the Forbidden City, the Great Wall and so on."
There was no need for Gu Yinzhu to tell him, as Second Uncle Gu said it himself.
"I won't go back. I will live with you in the capital."
"If you don't take care of me, I'll hit my head against the wall and die!"
"Dad, what are you talking about? When did we say we wouldn't care about you anymore?" Wu Sanfeng was furious.
Damn it, this old man actually threatened them with death.
Gu Yinzhu and Wu Sanfeng exchanged glances, meaning that this old man was also a threat to him at home, which was why he brought him here.
Wu Sanfeng said he would go home and talk about it.
But Uncle Gu didn't want to go back. He asked Wu Sanfeng,
"Where is Jianhua's bakery? Take me to see it."
Wu Sanfeng, "Dad, I'll be there in a while. Let's go home and put our luggage first."
"OK."
Uncle Gu found that his life had become much more comfortable and his mood had improved since he no longer had to worry about his children's opinions.
He thought he would keep coming like this in the future.
Wu Sanfeng took the father and son to the rented house. Uncle Gu said, "Didn't you say there is no house? Just a store?"
The second son told him that the couple would sleep in the store. Humph, don’t they have a house?
Wu Sanfeng smiled and said, "Dad, I rented this place because I heard you wanted to come."
In response to her, Uncle Gu snorted coldly.
After putting their luggage away, the three of them went to Gu Li's place. Gu Li didn't expect that her grandfather would also come and planned not to leave in the future.
I suddenly felt a little sympathy for her mother, but it was none of her business.
She was willing to be a filial granddaughter. She said, "Grandpa, let's go to Lao Mo's restaurant to eat Russian food tonight."
"Okay, my eldest granddaughter is still filial."
Uncle Gu Ershu had wanted to eat that Russian food for a long time. After his eldest brother came back, he told him about the Russian food and roast duck he had, which were all delicious.
He will try it again later.
The two brothers, his elder brother lived such a good life in his later years, while his life was so dull, why should he live well too, since he didn't have many years left to live anyway.
After coming out of Gu Li's clothing store, the three went to the pancake shop. Uncle Gu mainly wanted to see his eldest brother, but unfortunately, it was summer vacation, and Chang Yi and Chang An took the four elders to travel to Ice City.
Uncle Gu was a little disappointed. "Did you go to Ice City? How long did you go?"
Look at how nice this child is. Not only does he give his parents 200 yuan pocket money every month, he also takes his parents on trips during the winter and summer vacations.
Su He made tea for them and said with a smile, "My second uncle just left yesterday."
"Oh, that's true, just one day."
Su He smiled and said, "Second Uncle, you will not leave now that you are here, right? You will stay in Beijing, right?"
Uncle Gu didn't care about Gu Yinzhu and Wu Sanfeng's reactions and said, "I'm not leaving. I'll stay in Beijing from now on."
"That's great, Uncle. You can go fishing like Dad and the others, stroll in the park, and practice Tai Chi with the old men and women. That's really nice."
"Yes, I think so too." Uncle Gu thought to himself, look how sensible Xiaohe is!
My daughter-in-law is not even one-tenth as good as others.
Wu Sanfeng thought that Su He was indeed her mortal enemy, but he was not her father and he did not need her to serve him. Of course, she felt comfortable staying in Jing City.
It's really easy to talk without any pain in the waist.
Not only Su He said this, but his nephew Gu Jianhua also came over and said to Uncle Gu, "Let your brother and sister-in-law take you around when they are not busy."
"To put it bluntly, you are as old as my parents, and you still have a few years to live. Let's not talk about the hard times we had in the past. Now that life has finally gotten better, we have worked hard all our lives, so we should enjoy our old age and go out more often."
Gu Jianhua may be getting older, he talks more and more and becomes more talkative.
These words really touched Uncle Gu's heart.
He felt like crying after listening to this. Yes, he had worked hard all his life, raising three sons, but the third son, that ungrateful guy, got married and forgot about his parents and didn't care about them anymore.
The eldest and second eldest were not treated unfairly.
The old couple didn't need their children to take care of them on a regular basis, and they just let their children bury them when they died.
Even under such circumstances, the second brother and his wife were still not very happy about it, and Uncle Gu felt very sad.
The villagers were right. No matter how many useless sons you have, it is better to have one promising and filial son.
Listening to what Su He and Gu Jianhua said, Gu Yinzhu and Wu Sanfeng felt their hearts pounding. Was this two people doing it intentionally or unintentionally?
Their father already had that idea, and now he has been completely brainwashed.
Who knows, I might ask them for money in the future, or let them take me on trips like Uncle Gu and his friends did.
How can they have time to travel?
