Everyone was speechless, and Gu Ren wasn't sad at all. He knew his father's personality very well.
He just doesn't love his son, what can you do about it?
His father also said that if he only had two daughters, Huihui and Sisi, he would definitely find two excellent sons-in-law, and then he would benefit from their fame and live a life of ease with Zhang Shi.
Instead of having to work hard for her three sons like she does now.
As for Gu En, he knew his father better than Gu Ren. He was the kind of person who would talk nonsense after drinking a little. If his grandparents were here, he would definitely get a beating from his grandmother.
Uncle Gu chuckled and continued, "Of course, my son is quite good too. He can take the imperial examinations. For example, Enzi can take the metropolitan examination this year. If he does well and gets into the government, hey, I won't want to care about anything anymore. I'll just go out and play with Lao Xue and Lao Kang. Enzi, you should stay home and take good care of your younger brother! Enzi, you must work hard! This year, my wish is that you become strong enough to support the main branch of the family!"
Gu En twitched her lips and retorted, "Dad, you only want me to take care of my younger brothers? What about Sisi? You love your daughter so much, aren't you going to take care of Sisi?"
Uncle Gu waved his hand: "Why would I need to take care of Sisi? Your grandmother is in charge of her marriage, do you think I've forgotten? You boys are the poor ones, your grandparents don't care about your marriages, so we have to take care of them. Sisi and her sisters don't need our care! Right, Sisi? Dad is right!"
Gu Si: "...Yes, Father, you're right. I wish you success in achieving your wish soon."
Uncle Gu immediately beamed with joy: "Look, look, how thoughtful my daughter is!"
Zhang patted Uncle Gu on the shoulder, then spoke up: "Over the past few years, I've learned a lot from Mom, Xiaolian, and Xiaohuan. There's an old saying, 'Harmony in the family brings prosperity in all things.' I didn't think much of it before, but now I think it's very true. I used to be illiterate, but I've learned quite a few characters in the last two years. However, I don't know how to express myself in many other ways, so I'll just keep it simple. I hope that in the coming year, our ancestors will be healthy, our grandparents will be healthy, and everyone in our family, young and old, will have their wishes fulfilled. Let's continue to uphold the principle of 'harmony in the family brings prosperity in all things'!"
Gu Xin clapped her hands: "Great! Auntie is absolutely right! Harmony in the family brings prosperity in everything!"
Everyone laughed.
Zhang blushed, a rare occurrence for her.
She hasn't worked in the fields much these past few years, and she's learned skincare from Cai Xiaolian, which has made her look much fairer and more peaceful. She looks much more pleasing to the eye overall.
Next was Gu Shouxin.
Gu Shouxin didn't say much; he just hoped his family would be safe and sound, and that the Great Zhou would grow stronger and stronger—in short, a very official statement.
Cai Xiaolian focused on her business center.
As for Uncle Gu, he had a strong wish: that Yang would give birth to a daughter this time. He already had enough boys in the family, and he had two sons already. He hoped to have a precious daughter this year.
Gu Xin felt that her fourth uncle's wish was going to be in vain, but since it was the New Year and he was talking about his hopes for the coming year, she didn't want to spoil his mood, so she didn't say anything.
Next up is Cheng Huaijin.
Cheng Huaijin didn't feel it was his turn to speak, so Gu En nudged him, saying, "Brother Jin, you're younger than Second Sister but older than Third Sister, it's your turn!"
