Become a monk?
Gu Ziling choked this time: "Cough, cough cough... Grandpa, you guys... aren't you going too far? Am I even your biological daughter?"
The old man proudly raised his head:
"If you weren't their biological child, who would care about you?"
Only biological children are the ones family members would be reluctant to truly force or pressure.
Arranged marriages are not uncommon in this circle. Whether you like it or not, you can't resist it anyway!
After all, it's easy to go from frugality to extravagance, but difficult to go from extravagance to frugality!
Almost no one can withstand that huge drop in status.
In families where others prioritize business interests, someone like Gu Ziling would have been forced to get married and have children long ago.
"Grandpa, since I'm your biological son, can't you spoil your grandson a little?"
Spoil me my ass!
What if you were three years old?
Now, the whole family has someone to spoil.
You're almost thirty, you'd better find a wife and let her spoil you.
The old man's disgusted face was something anyone with eyes could see.
Minister Gu's lips moved, but in the end, he didn't know what to say.
It's all tears when I say it!
But then one of the little ones suddenly spoke up: "Second Uncle, aren't you really going to meet that pretty auntie?"
Um?
They've got a plan!
What's this kid up to, constantly trying to get me to go out?
"You absolutely have to go?" I asked rhetorically.
The little man paused, clearly thinking for a moment, then nodded:
"must!"
However, Minister Gu smiled and said, "Since you've already said it's a done deal, then... I guess I won't go!"
Ugh, that's awful!
The little boy snorted a few more times: "Fine, I won't go then. I'll go find the pretty auntie myself. Second Uncle, don't come back to me later!"
regret?
Will Minister Gu regret it?
"Anyone who regrets it is a coward!"
Hearing this answer, the little boy secretly laughed: Second Uncle, Second Uncle, then you're definitely going to be a puppy this time!
Sure enough, the little guy greeted the two old men and prepared to go out. Just as he passed Gu Ziling, he inadvertently revealed a piece of information:
"The pretty auntie seems to have a name, it's...it's...Xia Hong."
Xia Hong?
In that instant, Minister Gu's previously nonchalant expression changed completely, and his deep gaze locked onto the villain:
Are you sure?
The little guy didn't say anything, just chuckled, and then took off running outside on his short legs.
As for Minister Gu, his heart was not at peace the moment he heard the name Xia Hong:
"Grandpa, I'm going to check on that kid."
Anxiously, he found an excuse and hurriedly chased after her.
But how could all of this escape the eyes of the two old men?
Grandpa Ye took a couple of sips of tea: "Old Gu, shouldn't you start preparing for your family's happy occasion?"
"It's all prepared."
It turns out that the Gu family's smugness was inherited from the old man.
........
Outside the carriage, the little boy ran a distance and was about to return to the carriage when he was caught by his second uncle at the door.
The poor thing was left sitting on the chair.
"Tell me, where is he?"
The little boy wiggled his bottom and looked up: "Second Uncle, what are you saying? I don't understand."
Gu Ziling scoffed, "Don't understand? Are you sure?"
Hmm, at this point, my second uncle seems pretty scary.
Those who understand the times are wise; I, a petty person, have fully grasped the meaning of this saying.
"uncertain."
"Then speak properly, from beginning to end. If you dare to omit a single word, I'll spank your little bottom until it's bruised!"
