Chapter 837 840. Fairness
Gu Bencan felt that being an official was not as comfortable as being a businessman. Besides, his elder brother was a career official, so would his elder brother not protect him?
Seeing that his eyes were always drifting towards Gu Benluo, Jin Qianqian tapped his forehead and scolded with a smile, "What your elder brother has is his own. He will have his own family and his own responsibilities in the future. Can he still protect you for the rest of his life?
Look at your uncles, they are all living their own lives, is your father involved?"
Gu Bencan: "..." It seems that the relationship between the families is a bit dull.
Gu Bencan doubted himself and thought that his relationship with his elder brother was still pretty good and it shouldn't be like this in the future.
"Rely on mountains and they will fall; rely on people and they will run away. Sometimes you should change your optimistic nature." Jin Qianqian wanted to take this opportunity today to teach this kid a lesson.
"Mom, our family is different," Gu Bencan said, obviously not as confident as before, "My eldest brother can't just ignore me, right, brother?"
Gu Benluo looked at him coldly, "Big brother will definitely not ignore you. If you make a mistake, I will definitely punish you for my parents."
"That's it..." Gu Bencan opened his mouth slightly, "I am your brother."
Gu Benluo controlled his facial expression and said in a cold voice, "Brothers should settle accounts clearly. As your elder brother, you should be happy that I can teach you."
Gu Bencan: "..." So that's it? I got a great deal...
Jin Qianqian watched the two brothers' witty exchange, exchanged a look with Gu Wenheng, and then said, "Cancan, you should also know that if you separate from your eldest brother in the future, the majority of the family will still be in your eldest brother's hands. After all, the family property left to you by your parents is limited. Do you really not intend to learn a skill to survive?"
Gu Bencan was hit hard, "..."
Gu Wenheng, "Your eldest brother will pursue a career in politics in the future, and your parents will definitely favor him. If you want to go out and make your own way, your mother and I can give you your share. As for the future, it all depends on your own luck."
This child has been spoiled since he was young. He likes to play tricks on others and does not use his heart in the right way. Even if he is allowed to take over Jin Qianqian's business and people in the future, he will not have the confidence to confront those old hands.
Looking at his shocked expression, you can tell that what I just said is not within this kid's consideration.
Gu Bencan: "…" So now I am the one who is disliked.
Jin Qianqian, "Have you figured it out?"
Gu Bencan, "...Mother, don't you just want me to take the imperial examination? Isn't it okay for me to take it?
But I don’t want to be an official in the future, and I don’t need to become a Jinshi. I’m really not cut out for it.
You and dad, please stop scaring me. I will definitely find my own way out in the future. If it doesn’t work out, I will go to my eldest brother’s farm and be his manager.”
"Looking at your potential," Jin Qianqian took out a few pieces of paper, "you should take time to read more books, and take the imperial examination after you are out of mourning.
As for this, it was prepared by your father for you, so remember it and burn it. When the time is right, you can do it yourself."
Gu Bencan took a look and immediately looked up at his parents in surprise, then turned to look at Gu Benluo worriedly, "This is inappropriate."
Jin Qianqian took the paper from him again and placed it in front of Gu Benluo, "Do you think these are suitable for your brother?"
Gu Benluo glanced down without changing his expression, and soon raised his head to look at Jin Qianqian, "Mom, you shouldn't show me these.
You also know that I am not interested in this, it is good enough to give these to my second brother."
Jin Qianqian sighed and said, "Your father and I always want to be fair and divide everything we have equally among you brothers, but no matter how we calculate it, it's a little biased."
Hearing this tone, the two brothers felt uncomfortable. Gu Benluo said, "Mom, don't say these words."
Gu Bencan's eyes were red, "Mom, I don't want anything."
"Listen to what your mother continues," Gu Wenheng did not have these concerns. In modern times, many people make a will early on. There is no such procedure here. It would be better to explain everything clearly early on so as to avoid any emergencies in the future and prevent the two brothers from getting hurt because of these trivial matters.
Besides, making things clear earlier can also prevent conflicts between brothers over minor interests in the future.
"You all know that I have taken back many of the businesses under my control. From now on, your eldest brother will get 80% of the family's visible assets, and Cancan will definitely suffer a lot.
Your father wrote down these secret recipes, which will provide you with a bright future. If you manage them well, you can definitely accumulate some wealth for your family.
Your father and I still hope that you brothers can take care of each other and support each other as we move forward."
Gu Benluo, "Mom, it's too early to talk about this now. I have no objection even if you give all of this to Cancan."
"Go away," Gu Wenheng felt a little uncomfortable listening to this. It sounded as if they were about to part forever. "Wait until you get married and have children before you tell me these things.
I called you here today to explain these two things clearly.
Cancan, go back and think about it carefully. I will find a few people to stay with you. If you want to live a good life, you should lay a good foundation first. "
But we have to choose the people who follow Cancan carefully. This kid is not stupid, but he has a bit of an eccentric personality. We need to find those who are steady and can handle things.
After sending the two annoying sons away, Gu Wenheng embraced Jin Qianqian and said, "Next time, you should talk about things in a proper way. You should be more careful with your tone. Look how scared the two children are."
Jin Qianqian glanced at him, "Do you believe this too? Didn't you remind them earlier that they had to make them aware of this? I am also taking this opportunity to explain this matter.
Shouldn't Cancan do less farm work? While you have some free time, give him some special treatment so that you don't lose face later."
Gu Wenheng, "Wife, let's not set such high standards for Cancan. He should be happy to be able to hang at the end of the car and have the status of a juren."
"Oh, oh," Jin Qianqian sneered, "You must have misunderstood. I was afraid that he couldn't even get on the rear of the car. All the way back until now, how many times have you seen him touch the book?
If he were like his older brother, I would have less worries."
Gu Wenheng, "..."

As soon as Gu Benluo came out of the study, he did not go back to his room directly, but grabbed Gu Bencan and went out of the yard.
"Brother, it's been a tiring day, don't you want to take a rest?"
Gu Benluo ignored him and took advantage of the night to drag the man to the river bank.
"Brother, if you have anything to say, we can just talk outside the yard. Why do you have to run so far? The wind is a little cold." Gu Bencan crossed his arms and complained in a low voice.
But during this time, he didn't dare to resist at all. Even though his elder brother treated him well on weekdays, if he really wanted to deal with him, he would show no mercy.
He would rather be taught a lesson by his parents than be criticized by his eldest brother.
Thinking of his past experiences, he quietly took two steps back.
