After listening to her son and daughter-in-law's plans, Grandma Gu decided to look after the children.
The Gu sisters: "We'll listen to you!"
Gu En: "Complete the task assigned by your second uncle! Be a good boy and listen to me!"
Grandpa Gu smiled and said, "Alright, alright, now that you've told me your plans, I'll tell you ours. We agreed before that we wouldn't separate the family, so if the second son passes the exam this time, I plan to have the whole family move with him. Second son, second daughter-in-law, what do you think?"
Gu Shouxin: "Father, that's what I think too."
Cai Xiaolian: "Dad, I still want to do business. In the future, Mom and my eldest sister-in-law will manage the household, and my fourth brother and sister-in-law and I will earn money outside. The children have a good relationship and will definitely not be separated."
The Gu sisters nodded.
Grandpa Gu smiled with satisfaction.
Uncle Gu was frustrated: "If the second son becomes an official, he certainly won't be in our Qingzhou! Where am I supposed to farm?"
Uncle Gu also got anxious: "Second Brother is going to become an official, and I'm just doing carpentry outside. Isn't that embarrassing for Second Brother? Also, Xiao Huan and Second Sister-in-law are both gone. What will happen to our furniture factory?"
Zhang was getting anxious. Why are these two so clueless? Even at a time like this, the second son isn't complaining about you, but you're complaining about him?
Yang Xiaohuan was of the same mind as Uncle Gu, and also felt that if everyone left, who would take care of the furniture factory!
Gu Xin suddenly said, "Uncle, Fourth Uncle, don't worry. If you want to farm, we can buy land and continue farming after Dad becomes an official! And Fourth Uncle, why is being a carpenter shameful? Mom said that earning money with your own hands is not shameful. It's not like you're doing something bad. Also, we can hire someone to manage the furniture factory. We can bring Grandpa Yang and the other craftsmen and set up another one."
Zhang clapped her hands: "Xinxin is right, right! Xinxin is so smart! Xinxin is just as smart as her father!"
The solution Gu Xin suggested was exactly what Gu Shouxin and Cai Xiaolian had discussed, so they didn't say anything.
Grandma Gu looked at her eldest and youngest sons with disdain: "Not even a child can think straight! A tree dies when transplanted, but a person thrives! I clearly asked you two before that you weren't going to separate the family. Now, arguing is useless! You have to leave!"
Alright, once I give the order, no one dares to object.
Uncle Gu thought that he still had land to cultivate, so he started thinking about how much land to buy and what to plant.
As for Uncle Gu, well, let him continue working. We don't mind him being a disgrace. As long as he can earn his own money, he's willing to stay with his parents and brothers.
Seeing that everyone was silent, Grandpa Gu continued, "My plan is that the second son and his wife will go to the capital first. We'll ask A-Yuan to help us buy a house, a big one, maybe a three-courtyard one. I'll cover the cost. You two go first, and we'll come over together after the autumn harvest. So, the second and fourth daughters-in-law need to take over the businesses here properly. Eldest son, you need to select a few households to rent out our land for farming. This is the root of the Gu family, and the old house must be preserved. As for you younger ones, you need to carefully consider whether you want to keep your businesses here! Does everyone understand?"
Everyone nodded.
The family meeting then came to a successful conclusion.
Next, the Gu family members were all preparing to go to the capital, and even Gu Ren was thinking about his plans for life in ancient times.
They had no idea that Gu Shouxin might fail; in their view, Gu Shouxin was a man who, when he spoke, would amaze everyone.
