Chapter 249 250. Heartfelt Talk
Xie Ruyi looked around guiltily, and soon, he said confidently, "I'm just worried that you're working for nothing. After all, we can't be without any income at home or outside."
Gu Yuanjin, "Even if it's only these two hundred taels of silver, do you think we brothers can earn it back by working for Foreman Ding for a year?
I'm putting this on the table. From now on, we brothers will have the final say on this deal. If you guys are whispering or making small moves behind my back, don't blame us brothers for being cruel."
Li Xiaohua asked stupidly, "What will happen then?"
Gu Yuanhuo narrowed his eyes and smiled, "I guess you don't want to know."
Li Xiaohua's eyes were filled with fear and he immediately shuddered with desire to survive, shaking his head continuously.
Hong Daya huddled quietly in the corner from beginning to end, and only when she saw Gu Yuanjin put the silver in his arms again did her eyes sparkle.
"Why don't the two boys at home go to the private school to attend classes?" Gu Yuanjin's brows were almost knotted when he thought of his two nephews who were just playing foolishly in the yard.
Although he pretended to be calm in front of his seventh brother's wife before, he knew that the brothers were all upset at that time. Even the servants in the mansion could write and count, but they still had to let his seventh brother's wife tell them everything one by one several times.
The moment he left the house, Gu Yuanjin didn't want his descendants to suffer like this anymore.
Li Xiaohua was frightened by the looks of the brothers and swallowed his saliva. Then he carefully explained, "Mr. Zhou was not feeling well today, so we let these guys rest at home for a day.
They really are not lazy, if you don’t believe me, just go out and ask around and you’ll find out.”
As soon as the private school in the village was built, all the children, big and small, in the village were sent to the school. No matter what, it had to be tested to see if the children had talent.
In just two months, some people persisted, while others showed no interest at all even when being chased away by their family members with sticks.
The children of the Gu family all wanted to become a juren like their seventh uncle, so they went there on time every day.
Gu Yuanjin looked at his brothers and said leisurely, "You are younger than me and your memory must be better than mine. When the time comes, you will learn some words by following these guys.
We don’t want to be staring at the account book in the future without being able to see a single flower! Big brother is counting on you.”
The other brothers: "…" We are not young anymore ╮(╯＿╰)╭.
After everyone left, Li Xiaohua couldn't hold it in any longer. "Why did big brother take the banknotes? Shouldn't we split it equally?"
Thinking of the fifty taels that she was supposed to get, Li Xiaohua really wanted to chase after him immediately, but she was still frightened in the end.
Gu Yuanhuo, "No one is allowed to touch the silver. We are going to build another workshop in the village. Otherwise, it will be a problem if we always squeeze in with Lao Wu."
"That doesn't need to be so much..." Li Xiaohua's voice disappeared under Gu Yuanhuo's angry glare.

Daocheng Lan Family
Lan Ying held the baby in her arms and glared at Gu Yuanlei, "Can't you go out and find a job instead of spending all your time like this?
We have been living and eating for free at my parents' house for so long, don't you feel embarrassed? I feel ashamed for you."
Gu Yuanlei had a wooden face. He had heard such words dozens of times. At first he felt guilty, but now he felt numb.
"Is it interesting to talk about this all day long?" Gu Yuanlei listened for a long time and finally replied impatiently.
"If you don't want to listen, then just raise us mother and daughter," Lan Ying growled in a low voice for fear of scaring the child in her arms.
Gu Yuanlei, "Then what do you think I'm going to do? I go to the grain store to carry bags, and your family thinks I'm shameful. I go to the village to work as a temporary worker, and you think I'm so shabby.
Now tell me, what do you want me to do? Why are you being so weird all the time? "
"I just want you to go out and make money to support the family. I've had enough of this kind of life now." Lan Ying had already regretted it in her heart. In order to keep her family alive, she found herself such a thing.
"There are several shops in this family. Can't I go there to work?" Gu Yuanlei looked at the baby in her arms, "Don't forget that his last name is Lan. Even if I have nothing to do with the Lan family, he should have a share."
Lan Ying, "Your tail is finally exposed. Don't forget that you are now a person without a family. What's the point of having a child with your surname?"
"You guys forced me to do this," Gu Yuanlei felt that if he stayed any longer, he would definitely want to take action, but he had to hold back his anger for now. He clenched his fists, turned around and walked out.
After making sure that everyone had left, Lan Ying carried the child to her parents' yard.
"This person went out?" Lan Yongnan asked without raising his head when he knew his daughter came in.
Lan Ying hummed, "Dad, is this really okay? I'm afraid Yuan Lei will rebel? Will I be accepted back into his family?"
Lan Yongnan then looked up at her and cursed her for being stupid, "Even if he returns to his family, you have to go back with him even if you have to change your surname and take the child with you.
We really underestimated this family in the past. His seventh brother passed the imperial examination and even won the first place. He will have great luck in the future.
I have found out everything. In addition to their current soap workshop, the soy products that are popular in the city are also made by the Gu brothers.
Just these two things, do you think we can achieve that with just a house and three shops?"
Lan Ying was a little confused, "Then why did you ask me to provoke him just now?"
Looking at his silly daughter, Lan Yongnan smiled contentedly, "Your brother has already made arrangements outside. Now we just need to tie him up tightly in our house. When he repairs the relationship with the Gu family again, our family will also benefit greatly in the future."
Lan Ying: "..."

Gu Yuanlei walked out of the door angrily and bumped into Lan Yun.
"How do you walk?" Gu Yuanlei started to attack before he could even see who was coming.
"Just what happened? Did you quarrel with Yingying again?"
"Brother," Gu Yuanlei greeted Lan Yun angrily when he saw that it was Lan Yun.
Lan Yun patted his shoulder and said, "It's inevitable that this couple will quarrel. If you have anything to say, just talk it out. Everything will be fine after it's said and done."
Gu Yuanlei seemed to have found someone to talk to, and said with a bitter face, "Yingying is still blaming me for being incompetent and not being able to give her a decent life for such a long time.
But brother, I have really tried very hard. I go out to look for work at dawn every day, but it is not easy to find work outside. "
At this point, Lan Yun looked at him thoughtfully, "Actually, I've thought about it before, and I wanted you to help out in the store.
But the grocery store is so small and doesn’t need so many people to work.
And I've seen you struggling to find a job recently, and I really hope you can find your own way."
