To put it more bluntly, I just want him to give me money and things.

Before Gu Xiangwen came back, he was still thinking enthusiastically that now that he had a job and a good salary, he could be filial to his parents in the future and have the opportunity to help his brothers and sisters so that everyone's life would be better.

But now when he came back, he found that his family did not show any welcome for his return to the city.

Even if he came out now, only his sister would chase him out, and only to ask him for some pocket money.

Gu Xiangwen gave up the idea of ​​being filial and decided to give his parents ten yuan a month as alimony and not think about anything else.

It is foreseeable that his parents, brothers and sisters will not help him with his future, his marriage, and his happiness. He has to create them all by himself.

None of his parents and siblings can be trusted.

Gu Xiangqing looked at her third brother's back as he walked away, and suddenly felt a little uncomfortable.

Although she was the youngest among her brothers and sisters, she also understood that the house was so small and cramped, and with so many people living in it, no one really wanted to add any more people in.

So, when they heard the third brother say that he had returned to the city, everyone's first reaction was that there would be one more person squeezed into the house, and the expressions on their faces were naturally not very good.

If they had known that the third brother had found a job, didn't have to live at home, and could bring back good things, they would definitely not have treated him like this.

Today, Third Brother seemed to be angry. She would comfort him when he came back next time. She hoped he wouldn't mind! Gu Xiangqing walked back home unhappy.

As soon as she returned, Mother Gu asked her, "Xiaoqing, what did your third brother say to you?"

Gu Xiangqing replied impatiently: "He didn't say anything. It seems that he has turned cold towards us."

Everyone in the room was silent.

The only sound was the crunching of three children biting into apples.

When Gu Xiangqing saw that the three children were eating apples, she also took one, wiped it on her clothes, opened her mouth and started eating.

After eating it, Gu Xiangqing's eyes lit up, "Mom, this apple is so delicious, come and try it."

Gu Xiangqing stuffed the apple into Gu's mother's mouth.

Mother Gu tried taking a bite and it was really sweet and crispy, so delicious!

She said as if it was a matter of course, "I'll ask your third brother to bring back more next time."

The second son, as the first son of the Gu family, relied on his parents' pampering and the fact that they would rely on him in the future. His wife also gave birth to three sons in a row.

He said shamelessly, "Mom, our family has not been divided, and you still want the third child to hand over his salary."

That's right! He wanted to be a vampire and suck all the blood of his brothers and sisters to feed his family.

When Gu Xiangrong, the seventh child who had just entered his senior year of high school, heard the second child say this, a trace of contempt and disgust flashed in his eyes.

Gu Xiangrong asked his mother, "Mom, my third brother is almost 30 years old. Have you and Dad saved money for him to get married?"

When Mother Gu heard this, she immediately exploded, "I haven't seen his money in all these years, where can I get the money to help him save for his wife?"

Gu Xiangrong added, "He finally returned to the city and found a job. He should save some money to get married. Don't count on Third Brother handing over your salary in the future."

The second brother Gu Xiangqian was unhappy when he heard this, "Seventh brother, stop talking nonsense here. Your third brother's money is in the hands of our parents, don't you get any benefit?"

The second brother was so angry that he glared at the seventh brother and yelled, "What nonsense are you talking about, you loser? If I don't beat you up for a day, you'll get itchy, right?"

Gu Xiangrong also stood up and looked at him fearlessly, "Come on, come here if you have the guts. Do you think I'm still the kid you bully? It's just right that today we'll settle the score for the beatings you gave me before. Whoever is a coward is a fucking jerk."

"You're looking for death, you bastard!"

The second son of the Gu family was so angry that smoke was almost coming out of his nostrils, and he wanted to rush towards the seventh son.

When Father Gu saw that his two sons were about to fight, he immediately stood up and slammed the table, "You two think I'm dead, don't you?"

In their family, Father Gu is the only formal worker. He is the pillar of the family, the patriarch, and the most authoritative person in the family.

After his roar, the second and seventh sons of the Gu family calmed down instantly and dared not say a word.

The first child born to Mr. and Mrs. Gu was a daughter, and the second was a son.

At that time, the children were still young, Gu's father was a formal worker, and Gu's mother also did odd jobs, so life was still pretty good.

The couple naturally doted on their first son, their second son, and gave him whatever he wanted, which also led to the boy developing a selfish and insolent character.

Later, as Gu's mother gave birth to more and more children, even if her parents doted on the second child, it was impossible to give all the things in the house to him alone.

The second child, Gu Xiangqian, developed a bad habit of snatching food from his younger siblings. His husband and mother would at most say a few words but never disciplined him strictly.

The second son of the Gu family has completely lost his character.

Now he is in his early thirties. With the help of his parents, he got married and had three sons. He still fishes for three days and dries his nets for four days. He has no proper job and is unwilling to endure hardship and work. He just stays at home and waits for food and drink when he has nothing to do.

Anyway, he has no money and his family is dependent on his parents.

He also said righteously that he was the eldest son, and he would be the one to take care of his parents in their old age, and everything his parents had would naturally belong to him.

Most of this family's resources are tilted towards the family of the second son of the Gu family, and the younger brothers and sisters have to survive in the cracks.

Fortunately, this is in the city. No matter how poor they are, their parents will let their children go to school, so that they can gain education and be recruited into the workplace.

The seventh child is now in his third year of high school and will graduate in the blink of an eye. If he is lucky, he might be able to find a job in the city.

But if he was unlucky, there would still be quotas for going to the countryside in 1975, and he might have to go to the countryside as an educated youth again.

If there was a college entrance examination at this time, Lao Qi would have worked hard and had good grades, so he would definitely have passed.

But now that he hasn’t taken the college entrance exam, the seventh brother Gu Xiangrong is starting to worry about his future.

Recently, he has also been looking around for jobs.

If there was a job opening, he would directly pass the exam and go to work in the factory, thus avoiding the fate of going to the countryside as an educated youth.

His family was so poor and his parents were incompetent, the only person he could rely on was himself.
