Grandma Gu rubbed her forehead.
What sins did she commit in her past life to give birth to such a wicked creature?
Are you waiting for money to come to you on its own?
"Haha, I'm telling you, eldest son, don't blame your aunt for scolding you, but you're just too straightforward, to the point of being a little silly! Wasn't the second son just giving you directions? Did you expect him to just throw money into your purse?" Grandma Xiao was amused by Uncle Gu and couldn't help but laugh.
"Huh? Really? Second brother, what kind of direction are you pointing me in?" Uncle Gu was taken aback, then looked at Gu Shouxin, "Second brother, not to criticize you, but we've been brothers for over thirty years, you should know my temperament. You need to be clear, I'm straightforward, I don't have many tricks up my sleeve. You scholars, your minds are all crooked. Of course, if you want to throw money into my purse, I'll still take it, I'll give it to Mother, and save it for me."
Gu Shouxin understood his mother's frustration: "Hehe, big brother, you wish!"
"Second brother, make this clear: you can't treat your eldest brother like an ordinary person. He's a bit dim-witted and won't understand!" Grandma Gu sighed and said.
"Yes, Mother is right!" Uncle Gu nodded in deep agreement.
"Brother, what I wanted to say was, have you ever considered setting up a stall or something during the off-season for farming?" Gu Shouxin said, puckering his lips.
"Setting up a stall? Sure! Actually, it's quite fun. Those people always like to chat with me. Let me tell you, I even ran into some thugs from Zhoujia Town before. Hey, I'm not bragging, but if I hadn't become a thug, Zhoujia Town would have been mine long ago! Those little punks even tried to extort protection money from me..." Uncle Gu went on and on about how he tried to reason with them and appeal to their emotions, but when that failed, he scared the thugs away with his fists and they never showed up in front of him again.
"So, are you going to set it up or not?" Grandma Gu asked.
"Go ahead and set up a stall! But, can Niannian manage? When I'm not busy, I can sell a lot in a day!" Uncle Gu was worried about tiring his nieces out.
“Brother, if Niannian won’t do it, I’ll have her teach you. You can make it yourself and sell it. Niannian will get 20% of the money. Is that alright?” Gu Shouxin said.
"Only 20%? I can't do the math! Mother, aren't you losing out by being so fussy?" Uncle Gu turned to look at Grandma Gu.
"We're family, so let's not talk about losing out. Let's try it first! Brother, Enzi and Renzi are in school, and we'll definitely need a lot of money in the future. And Huihui and Sisi, how can you not prepare enough dowry? Anyway, Huihui doesn't have a suitable partner yet, so why not work hard for a year or two to save enough money so she can get married in style? As her father, you can't really let your daughter earn money to save for her dowry, can you?" Gu Shouxin waved his hand and said.
"Second brother, you're right! Sigh, I'm so regretful! Why did I compete with you to be born into this family, and even win the competition to become your eldest brother? If I hadn't won, I would have been so glad I wasn't the eldest brother!" Uncle Gu sighed.
“Hey, even if you’re not the eldest son anymore, you still have to raise your children!” Grandma Xiao said with a smile.
"Oh right! I forgot about Third Sister. I should have switched with Third Sister back then, then there wouldn't be so many troubles! Sigh! It's not easy being a man!" Uncle Gu shook his head and took a swig of wine.
Grandma Xiao was completely speechless about the child.
Grandma Gu has given up on educating him.
