"Go to the city? What about the land back home?"
Upon hearing Jiang Yi's words, Gu's mother frowned immediately.
"Xiao Yi, it's not a big deal for you to open a shop. Your father also said that national policies are changing."
"But Mother is still a little uneasy. What if something goes wrong again..."
"Mother, it won't happen again!"
Jiang Yi quickly interjected, "The Liu we met today, her husband is a high-ranking official in Pingcheng. If anything goes wrong, Liu will definitely not help me find a shop!"
"Let me discuss this with your father when I get back!"
"By the way, do you know what the second brother went to do?"
After listening to Jiang Yi's long explanation, Gu's mother finally remembered her son, Gu Yunzhong.
"have no idea!"
Jiang Yi shook her head. "He left early this morning, saying he had something to do and needed to go out. He left me fifty yuan and didn't say when he would be back!"
"That little bastard, he'd better not come back!"
When Gu's mother heard Jiang Yi's words, especially the mention of "fifty yuan," her anger surged.
She knew that Gu Yunzhong had gotten two thousand yuan from Gu Yunguo.
Two thousand yuan, but he only left fifty yuan for Jiang Yi and her daughter Xiaolingdang. Is that what a man does?
Gu's mother was very angry.
They had a hard life back then, but they took care of their two sons as much as possible, never letting them suffer or be mistreated. But when the two sons grew up, they turned out to be worse than the other.
The eldest brother is stingy and likes to hoard money for his own family.
The couple had no intention of favoring sons over daughters, but their second son was blinded by greed and actually followed suit, treating his own daughter worse than his eldest son.
The more Gu's mother thought about it, the angrier she became. When she got home, she scolded Gu's father.
Mr. Gu was quite confused. What had he done to deserve this?
After Gu's mother finally finished arguing, Gu's father also learned the whole story.
Father Gu sighed and said, "Children are all debts!"
"Here's what we'll do. I'll take care of the land at home. You can go to the city with Xiao Yi for now. Help her out and look after Xiao Lingdang as much as you can."
"If the shop makes money, I'll go too. As for the land at home, the eldest son can farm it all!"
"That's the second son's land!"
Gu's mother assumed that Gu's father was going to favor the eldest son, and immediately glared at him.
"I know!"
Mr. Gu snorted, "Couldn't you wait until I finished speaking? You've always been impatient since you were young, and you're already so old, why are you still in such a hurry?"
"Give the land to the eldest brother to cultivate. Once the harvest is complete, have him give half of the grain to Xiao Yi!"
Would the boss be happy?
"He dares to disagree? I'll beat him to a pulp!"
Mr. Gu spoke in a very domineering manner.
Mother Gu snorted and said, "Give me a break! From childhood to adulthood, how many times have you ever hit those two brothers? Every time, it's me playing the bad guy and you playing the good guy!"
Having his shortcomings exposed by his mother, Gu's father could only laugh it off and say, "I'll go find the eldest son right away and tell him first!"
...
Meanwhile, at Gu Yunguo's home.
Gu Yunguo was drowning his sorrows in alcohol, spouting all sorts of harsh words, looking like he was ready to fight Gu Yunzhong to the death once he found him.
