Chapter 811 814. Breach of Trust
Liu Benshi, "…Is this okay?"
Although he is not very old, his father Liu Heizi always tells them that they can have the life they have now because of Lord Gu.
The reason their family was able to make a fortune from fishing was because Madam Gu taught them the methods of fishing and processing fish.
His father had already given them fish before, but the other party gave them a more expensive gift in return. The family felt that they were being taken advantage of and were feeling uneasy.
If they send fish over now, will it cause misunderstanding?
Gu Ali was young, and he didn't think so much like him, "What's the big deal? We caught some small fish before, and it's different from casting the net this time.
And I heard from my father that they will only come back for a few days, and we don’t know when A-chan will come back next time.”
Gu A'li relied on his seniority and called Gu Bencan by his name.
The other children who heard them discuss this matter also agreed, so when Gu Wenheng and his friends came back from their walk, there was a basin of fish in the house.
Gu Bencan was squatting beside the basin, lost in thought. Jin Qianqian walked over and saw the basin filled with live fish, and she knew where they came from.
"Did your friend bring you something good?" Jin Qianqian asked Gu Bencan with a smile.
Gu Bencan said weakly, "We agreed to go fishing with them, but I didn't expect to miss it in the end."
"Are you disappointed?" Jin Qianqian took advantage of her son squatting there and touched his head again.
Gu Bencan then turned his eyes away from the fish and said, "Mom, I broke my promise."
Gu Wenheng walked up to Jin Qianqian and looked at him, "Since we have already agreed, why do you want to break your promise?"
"Dad, shouldn't I ask you this?" Gu Bencan said with his lips pursed.
Gu Wenheng, "You are wrong. This is a private agreement between you two. How could I interfere?"
"But you gave me so much homework...?"
Gu Wenheng sighed, shook his head and said, "This is another lesson in your life. If you don't trust the way of heaven, you can't make a year. If you don't trust the way of earth, the plants and trees won't grow. ... The heaven and earth are so big, and the four seasons change, but they still can't make things happen without trust, let alone human affairs.
I will study Lüshi Chunqiu carefully again today.
Come and tell me tomorrow, what is wrong this time?"
After saying that, he turned his sleeves and left. Jin Qianqian patted Gu Bencan on the shoulder and prepared to leave as well.
"mother……"
Hearing her son's cry for help, Jin Qianqian softened her heart and said, "Go ahead. I'll have someone send food to the study room later."
Gu Bencan, "..." Oh my god...

Since Gu Yi took over the position of clan leader, he has managed the clan affairs in a remarkable manner.
He is not like Gu Sanbu who does everything by himself. He brings a few capable tribesmen to help him with chores, and he can also spare some time to serve as a teacher in the tribe school.
After following Gu Wenheng for so many years, he not only gained more knowledge, but also obtained the title of Juren in the past two years.
This was the first time that Gu Wenheng came here after so many days back, and he happened to see Gu Yi giving a lecture to the children.
Gu Yi noticed his arrival and did not pause. He just nodded slightly at him and continued teaching today's knowledge.
Gu Wenheng listened to the entire class until Gu Yi walked up to him, then he slowly walked out.
"You've done a good job in the past few years since you came back," Gu Wenheng praised, and then changed the subject and asked, "Do you regret it?"
After all, she had been with him for many years, starting as a historian and handling government affairs, so she could be said to be very adept at it.
Now that he has achieved the title of Juren, with his relationship with Gu Wenheng, it is possible for him to seek the position of a county magistrate.
Gu Yi answered calmly, "I don't regret it. I think this kind of life is suitable for me."
Having been with Gu Wenheng for so many years, Gu Wenheng did not hide many things from him, which also allowed him to see the dark side of human nature and the complexity of officialdom.
This taught him a lot and also made him feel cautious, which is already very good.
Besides, he is now a gentleman respected by everyone and the pillar of the Gu family. He has found the meaning of life.
Gu Wenheng patted his shoulder and said, "In that case, just keep going."
Gu Yi nodded firmly, "I will."

Li Cuicui touched the letter that had just been delivered and confirmed with the messenger again, "Is this sent from Baini'ao?"
The errand boy who was delivering the letter said, "The address on the letter is over there. If the old lady doesn't have any other instructions, I have to deliver the letter to the next village. Bye bye."
Li Cuicui asked Mrs. Song beside her to give her the reward silver, and then she nervously grabbed the letter.
Mrs. Song was a little worried, "Old Madam, how about I go and call the master over?"
Li Cuicui waved her hand and sat there in deep thought. Apart from the Li family, no one else in Baini'ao could send a letter.
But apart from the silver I sent to him two years ago and my nephew writing back a letter, there has been no further correspondence.
She stood up suddenly, grabbed the letter and walked out, and Mrs. Song hurriedly followed.
It was the first time that Gu Wenheng saw Li Cuicui so flustered, and he quickly helped her sit down in the main seat.
"Hurry up and take a look at what's written in this letter?" Li Cuicui was really a little nervous because her nephew from her mother's side had never written a letter on his own initiative.
When Gu Wenheng saw the address of the letter, he took it and tore open the seal with one hand. In the blink of an eye, the letter unfolded.
Gu Wenheng read ten lines at a glance, and under Li Cuicui's nervous gaze, he smiled and said, "This is a letter of congratulations, mother, my little cousin has become a grandfather.
Xiao Bei got married last year and will have a grandson this year, so I wrote this letter to let you know."
Li Cuicui clasped her hands together and said, "Thanks to our ancestors for blessing us. I was worried about Xiaobei before. You don't know that the child was born in a famine year. Because the children were young, your grandparents didn't follow the group fleeing the famine.
But in that environment, his body was still damaged. He would get sick every few days. It was only a few years ago that he couldn't stand it anymore and wrote to me asking for medicine. That's when I learned about this.
Now that he can get married and have children, it means that he is in good health, and your second uncle has a successor."
As for the two children from her eldest brother's family, Li Cuicui was not really worried. They had already given birth to a string of boys, and now even her youngest nephew had grandchildren. She was finally relieved.
When she first received the letter, she was uneasy for a moment, and the first thing she thought of was this promising son. Now that the truth is clear, she feels a little shy.
"Did Mom disturb you?" Li Cuicui knew that her son was still busy after returning, and he would not come over on weekdays.
Xu Dawang personally brought the tea to the table and said, "Madam, please have some tea."
Gu Wenheng, "Mom, have a sip of tea first. I don't have anything to do. It's a good opportunity for us to have a chat."
Li Cuicui sat there in danger, "Is there something wrong? Or has someone in the family gotten into trouble?"
"..." Gu Wenheng smiled soothingly, "Mom, it's nothing else. It's just that we haven't had a good talk since we came back in such a long time."
