The old man's eyes showed some displeasure. Why didn't this person know how to be anxious at all!
With the family struggling to make ends meet, and having so much free time, why not use that free time to earn some money and supplement the family income?
"Grandpa, you mean doing odd jobs? But... I'm afraid it'll be hard to find." Zhou Wu's face fell as soon as he mentioned this.
The old man was somewhat disappointed in his son.
Why is this thing so unlike my taste?
If it weren't for his granddaughter and two great-grandchildren, he wouldn't have bothered with him at all.
"How do you know it won't work if you haven't even tried?"
There was a hint of anger in the old man's voice, and Zhou Wu panicked a little when he heard it. "But if I go to town, what will happen to all the things at home?"
"What major event could possibly happen at home right now?"
Even if something happens, isn't there still Yanhe?
Besides, they're asking you to do odd jobs, not to do it long-term.
"You can come back when it's busy with farming." The old man was even more disappointed as he watched him ramble on and on.
“But…” Zhou Wu felt a little panicked. He had never done anything else in his life except studying and farming.
Can he do it?
"If I remember correctly, Lanlan will be starting school next year!"
And Xiao Hai, he'll have to go to school in a couple of years.
Besides, the house you're living in now was left to you by your grandfather. Don't you want to build a new house?
Each and every one of these things requires money. How can you rely solely on the meager harvest from the land? The more the old man spoke, the more his brows furrowed.
I don't know how he can be so carefree and not worry at all.
He glanced at Gu Yanhe again; she had chosen this person herself.
She also made a strong statement at the time, saying that no matter what happened in the future, she would never blame him.
Although he was angry at her willfulness, she was, after all, the child he had raised himself, so how could he not worry at all?
“But when you’re doing odd jobs, you can’t just come and go as you please.” Zhou Wu glanced quickly at the old man and then lowered his head.
“I have a place that fits your requirements. Would you like to go?” Gu Yanbai suddenly interjected.
"Wh-what place?" He instinctively felt a sense of fear towards his brother-in-law.
Although he hadn't spoken more than a few words to him, he was genuinely afraid of him.
This guy is tall and big, and he looks fierce when he's not smiling.
Even when he smiles, he doesn't think he looks that good.
Anyway, he really admires his wife now. She's so small, yet she lives with him every day without being afraid at all.
However, now was not the time to talk about that. He quickly focused his mind and listened carefully, afraid of misunderstanding.
"Isn't there a brick factory in town? Go there."
"The more you work there, the more you earn. Just let the person in charge know if you need anything. Are you going?"
"Would they even want me?" Zhou Wu asked dejectedly, all the arrogance he had displayed when he entered the room gone.
Why is it that every single person is pressuring him to find odd jobs after he comes to his parents' house?
What kind of mess is this?
"If you want to go, I can get you in." Gu Yanbai stared intently at him, waiting for his reply.
"Yanhe, do you think I should go?" He couldn't find a reason to refuse, so he had to hand over the decision-making power to Gu Yanhe.
Gu Yanhe had been listening for a long time, so how could she not understand her family's intentions?
It's just that they see how hard their lives are and they want to push them a little harder.
She didn't hesitate. Who would want to suffer if they could live a good life?
Moreover, her grandfather's words resonated deeply with her.
Every single thing he pointed out was exactly what she was worried about.
"Go ahead! Didn't you want to find a free place? This place is quite free."
If you're tired, just let the person in charge know and take a break; no one will say anything to you anyway.
Also, leave the housework to me.
"You can come back and help me for a few days during the busy farming season."
"I..." He wanted to say that he might not be able to handle it, but then he saw that everyone at the table was looking at him.
He swallowed the words he was about to say. "Alright then, thank you, Yanbai."
"Then pack your things, and I'll take you tomorrow." Gu Yanbai nodded calmly and made his decision.
"So fast?" Seeing everyone at the table looking at him, he quickly changed the subject.
"Um, what I mean is, don't you need to let people know beforehand?"
"No need, just pack your things and I'll take you there directly."
His expression remained indifferent. However, seeing that Su Nianxue had almost finished eating, he added some more food to her bowl.
"Alright, alright, stop putting any more food on your plate. If you keep eating, I'm going to be stuffed." Su Nianxue gave him a reproachful look.
The old man felt relieved after resolving a major concern.
Hearing her voice, he immediately turned around and said with a smile, "Nianxue, you should eat more."
Your sister-in-law's cooking is quite delicious.
Your due date is fast approaching. After the baby is born, you won't be able to eat many things anymore.
You'll have to abstain for a long time then! So, you should eat as much as you can now while you can.
"Really?" Su Nianxue hesitated.
"See, I didn't do anything wrong!" Gu Yanbai took the opportunity to put a few more bites of food on her plate.
"Sister-in-law, it's okay. I'll take care of you during your postpartum period after you give birth."
