Chapter 151 A box full of gold bars
On the fifth day of the Chinese New Year, before dawn, the Shen family got up to make breakfast for their daughter's family.
They will go to the train station in a while.
This time, they were not as reluctant as last time. Because they knew that Shen Jiale would have the opportunity to come back often in the future.
When they were leaving, they met the Gu family who came to see them off.
Grandpa Gu and Gu Zhengyuan, as well as the three aunts of the Gu family.
Second aunt Gu went up to hold Gu Siyuan's hand enthusiastically: "You are worthy of being our Gu family's child, you are so good-looking. I said I would invite you to my house to get to know my family, but Dad said you didn't want to go out because it was too cold. Next time you come to Beijing, you must come to the second aunt's house to play."
The other two aunts also spoke politely to Gu Siyuan.
Gu Zhengyuan lowered his head and said nothing. When he looked up, you could see several long red marks on his face and on his neck, which was exposed under his scarf.
After greeting his three daughters and grandson, Grandpa Gu came up and handed a delicate biscuit box to Gu Siyuan.
"Siyuan, these are the biscuits that Grandpa bought for you. Eat them when you're hungry on the train. I'll buy them for you often in the future."
Gu Siyuan took the biscuit box and sank his hands down. He almost lost his grip. It was Grandpa Gu who held it from below so that it didn't fall to the ground.
Time was limited, so they couldn't say too much. They got on the small car that the Shen family had found and went to the train station.
The car started, Gu Siyuan handed the cookie box to Shen Jiale with both hands, and said: "Sister, I don't know what grandpa gave me, it's so heavy!"
Shen Jiale took the cookie box, and her hands sank.
Is the box filled with iron blocks? It shouldn't be so heavy if it's all iron?
Shen Jiale opened the box curiously.
The things inside were still packed in a cloth bag, filling the cookie box.
After loosening the string at the mouth of the bag, Shen Jiale saw the golden and neatly stacked cubes inside, and hurriedly let Gu Siyuan see.
Gold bars!!!
The whole box is full of gold bars!
Gu Siyuan was just a child. Although he had never seen gold, he knew that a whole box of gold bars was worth a lot of money.
"Sister, why did Grandpa give me so much..."
Shen Jiale did not expect that Grandpa Gu would be so generous to his newly recognized grandson.
Grandpa Gu just said that he would give more to Gu Siyuan in the future.
If that was the case, even if Gu Siyuan did not return to the Gu family to fight for the family property, he would have the capital to start a business when he grew up.
Shen Jiale tied the bag tightly, closed the box, and handed it to Gu Siyuan: "This is what your grandfather gave you, you keep it well."
Lu Mingfeng, who was sitting in the front seat, said: "It's just a box of biscuits. If you like it, I'll buy it for you next time. You don't have to keep it."
Gu Siyuan put the biscuit box back on Shen Jiale's lap: "Sister, keep it for me."
Shen Jiale thought about it and decided that it was not suitable for a child to keep a box of gold bars. It would be better for her to keep it herself. She took the box and put it in the bag beside her, which actually stored it in the space.
...
The Gu family returned home, and the house was empty without a single person.
Grandpa Gu said, "Go to the An family and bring Anli and Chengze back."
Gu Zhengyuan said with a sullen face, "She refused to see me and said she would only see me if I agreed to a divorce."
Second Aunt Gu said, "She is just trying to scare you. A woman with a child, how can she find someone who loves his wife as much as you do?"
Gu Zhengyuan said angrily, "It's all your fault. If you hadn't been so quick to talk, would Anli have known?" Third
Aunt Gu was unhappy, "Zhengyuan, how can you blame us? The child is yours, right? Even if we didn't tell you, your sister-in-law would know sooner or later."
On the second day of the Chinese New Year, the three daughters of the Gu family returned to their parents' home. Grandpa Gu told them about the existence of Gu Siyuan, hoping that his grandson would get more care in the future.
Unexpectedly, when they were discussing Gu Siyuan, An Li, who had just returned from her mother's house, heard them.
When questioned, Gu's aunt told them about Gu Siyuan.
An Li started quarreling with Gu Zhengyuan as soon as she entered the house. Gu Zhengyuan tried to make excuses, but his face and neck were scratched by An Li. However, his wife was not satisfied and An Li threatened to divorce him and took the children back to her mother's house. In
the past few days, Gu Zhengyuan went to An's house every day to ask for his wife's forgiveness, but An Li refused to see him.
As a result, when Gu's old man forced him to send Gu Siyuan off this morning, Gu Zhengyuan was so angry that he didn't even say goodbye to Gu Siyuan.
Now that Gu Siyuan has left, she will just send him living expenses in the future, hoping that this son will never return to Beijing.
An's parents don't know why their daughter and son-in-law quarreled. An Li is a smart woman, and she knows clearly how to gain more benefits for herself.
If things get out of hand, it will only be bad for the Gu family, and her original intention is not to break with the Gu family, so the fewer people who know, the better.
The father-in-law has money, and the husband is the only son in the family. The daughter of the Gu family can only take some benefits, and the family property will still belong to her son in the future.
Now an illegitimate child has appeared. If he is brought back to the Gu family, the Gu family's property will no longer belong to her son alone.
For the sake of her son's property, An Li has to set an example for Grandpa Gu.
Gu Zhengyuan said that Gu Siyuan was unwilling to come to the Gu family. She didn't believe that a child from a small county town would give up such a superior family as the Gu family.
Maybe he was just pretending to win sympathy and waiting for the Gu family to take him in one day.
She took her son away to force Grandpa Gu to make a choice.
She didn't believe that Grandpa Gu would give up the grandson he watched grow up every day and want a child raised by a servant.
Seeing that her son-in-law came again, An's mother also advised her daughter not to make too much trouble during the New Year.
They didn't know the inside story and thought it was just a small conflict between the young couple, and the son-in-law came to the door again and again to give gifts and apologize, which was enough.
Gu Zhengyuan met his wife and talked to her alone in the room. When
An Li learned that Gu Siyuan had gone back and had not been taken back by the Gu family, her attitude softened.
She said that she could give Gu Siyuan living expenses, but she would rather divorce him if he could not enter the Gu family. She
also asked Gu Zhengyuan to go back and tell the decision to the old man.
Grandpa Gu had already made up his mind. He agreed that Gu Siyuan would not return to the Gu family for the time being, but he would have to recognize his ancestors and marry him after he came of age, and let him live alone.
An Li weighed the pros and cons and felt that this was already very good. As long as Gu Siyuan was not brought back to the Gu family, they would not have time to cultivate their relationship.
During this time, she let her son get closer to Grandpa Gu, and then let her husband get all of Grandpa Gu's property.
At most, she would have to pay a little money when Gu Siyuan got married in the future.
Compared with all the property of the Gu family, these were just drizzle.
Gu Zhengyuan took his wife and children home. Gu Chengze, who had not seen his grandfather for many days, ran into his arms.
An Li saw that Gu Chengze still loved him very much, and she put her worries aside for the time being.
