Okay!
Since the guests have brought it up, she, as the hostess, couldn't refuse, could she? "Alright, then come back with us!"
Soon, Gu Yanhe arrived at their home with her family.
As before, Gu Yanliu went to the room and took out some food, which she then distributed to the three children.
In the eyes of the children, she was a queen of the kids, so it didn't take long for her to become friends with several of them.
After a few casual words, Gu Yanhe changed the subject and brought the topic back to the children.
Her eyes flickered slightly, and she wore an ingratiating smile. "Nianxue, I know you and your sister-in-law are close. Why don't you go and persuade her for me?"
Look at my situation!
It was a win-win situation, helping both my older brother and solving our family's problem.
We're all family, so I won't hide anything from you.
As you know, our family situation is such that with my and your brother-in-law's abilities, raising two children is just right.
If we were to raise another one, it might become quite difficult.
Raising children now is very different from what we had back then; it costs a lot of money.
"Your brother-in-law and I are in a bit of a bind with our circumstances."
Su Nianxue's eyes turned cold as she looked at her. The other person had already clearly rejected her, but she was still not giving up.
Isn't this asking the impossible?
She immediately refused, saying, "Sister, I can't help you with this."
Grandpa said raising children depends on fate. Since my sister-in-law is not willing, I will talk to her again, but the result will be the same.
Moreover, it will only make things difficult for them and add to their troubles.
No one is willing to be raised, so she immediately felt a little impatient with her.
How can this person be so selfish!
As she thought this, a layer of frost appeared in her eyes.
Gu Yanhe was taken aback by her retort and felt somewhat embarrassed.
Her sister-in-law seemed to have a gentle personality and was very polite, which is why she thought of asking her to help put in a good word for her.
I never expected her to have such a tough side.
"Nianxue, I had no other choice!"
Gu Yanbai glared at Zhou Wu, thinking that he had really changed for nothing, unable to even support his own child.
What a useless piece of trash.
The latter shrank back immediately after being glared at by him.
"Sister, it's no use begging us about this."
Now that you're pregnant, you have to take responsibility for this child.
If you can't support yourself, why do you want to push it onto your older brother?
My brother has his own ideas, why should he take over your mess?
You're an adult now, you can't just do whatever comes to mind.
Now there's no one to bail you out; you'll have to figure this out yourself!
He had been holding these words in for a long time, and he had wanted to say them as early as at the dinner table.
But he thought that since the old man had spoken, he shouldn't interfere.
Unexpectedly, she still wouldn't give up and even came to their house to try and persuade his wife.
He couldn't hold back any longer and spoke his mind directly.
They didn't give her any face at all.
"We were born to the same parents."
You are all my family, what's wrong with helping me?
Besides, if we really listen to our sister-in-law and bring her son from her family home to raise, that would be a good thing.
The older brother has contributed both money and effort. Once he's grown up, the boy might just wipe his mouth and go back to take care of his own parents.
"At that time, it will all be for nothing, and it will be too late to regret it." Gu Yanhe was also angered by his words.
Right then and there, he spoke his mind.
Without even thinking, Gu Yanbai retorted, "That's a matter for my brother and his wife."
How he chooses is none of our business, nor do we have the right to interfere.
What do you mean by "it's none of my business"?
When that time comes, the Yang family will run off with all of the Gu family's property.
What will happen when my elder brother gets old, his children are gone, and his money is gone?
"Can we, as his younger siblings, really just stand by and watch him suffer like this?" Gu Yanhe's voice was somewhat sharp.
Her eyes were filled with anger as she looked at Gu Yanbai.
Su Nianxue quietly interjected, "Sister, the Gu family doesn't have much property."
The things you mentioned all belong to your older brother and sister-in-law.
Since it belongs to them, they can give it to whomever they want.
This is none of our business, nor do we have the right to interfere.
Su Nianxue was very displeased by the constant mention of the Gu family's wealth.
She's been married into the family for so long, yet she has no idea what kind of assets the Gu family possesses.
As far as she knew, Gu Yanhe's family was extremely poor when she got married, a situation she couldn't possibly be unaware of.
I don't know where she got the confidence to keep mentioning the Gu family's wealth.
Gu Yanbai frowned slightly; he found those words quite grating as well.
"My wife is right. Sister, you don't need to worry about this."
You should take care of your own problems first!
Gu Yanhe paused, realizing that the two were mocking her for overstepping her bounds.
It's also a way of mocking her for having a lot of problems at home and living a worse life than them!
Although she was not living a very happy life, that was no reason for them to mock her.
"What are you talking about? I'm just thinking of my brother's best interests."
"I know you all look down on me, but this time I'm truly doing this for my brother's sake." Gu Yanhe's eyes reddened, and her voice trembled with a sob.
Gu Yanbai's brow twitched, and he interrupted her coldly, "Sister, explain yourself clearly. When have we ever looked down on you?"
