Chapter 177: A man who knows how to live



The house that Gu Yanzhang bought is in the western part of the county town.

This is not a place where rich families gather, nor is it a place where poor people who can barely make ends meet gather.

Those who live here are mainly small businessmen who have small capital and do various transactions.

They are neither rich nor poor, and their business is good, so these people can live a decent life.

The reason why Gu Yanzhang bought the house here is very simple. First, the family just happened to have this much money. Second, this place is suitable for doing business. Third, he felt that as an outsider, it would not be so conspicuous if he settled down here...

The money that the family had saved in previous years to buy this house has been spent. He wanted to renovate this old house, but he simply couldn't afford it.

So, on the day Gu Yanzhang brought Chen Xuanxuan over, he cleaned the house inside and out.

Seeing him busying around, Chen Xuanxuan thought for a moment and started to help him with a broom.

Chen Xuanxuan looked at the layout of the house.

It faced south and the doors and windows were facing the sun. With a shop in front and a room in the back, it was suitable for selling buns and various snacks.

Thinking about doing business, Chen Xuanxuan said to Gu Yanzhang with a smile while cleaning, "Boss, as the saying goes, food is the first necessity of the people. We are a poor family and cannot do big business. However, we can make some money by making delicious food."

Hearing her say this, Gu Yanzhang also agreed, "Yeah. No one in this county can live without food, clothing, housing and transportation. Especially food. They have to eat every day, three meals a day... I have traveled all over the county before, and I have long discovered that there are so many merchants traveling back and forth in this county. We will definitely not lose money if we do a small business here."

After knowing his attitude, Chen Xuanxuan nodded. She was particularly happy in her heart.

It's really great.

Moving from a closed mountain village to a prosperous county town, the benefits here are so great.

She can finally get rid of that annoying father-in-law!

...

After Chen Xuanxuan followed Gu Yu'an back to Gu Jiagang, she still couldn't suppress the joy in her heart.

She was really happy.

Chen Xuanxuan used to think that as a junior, living with parents or elders was actually nothing.

But since she traveled through time, she has realized that her previous thinking was too simple and ignorant. The

life experience, knowledge, hygiene habits, and perspectives on things between the younger generation and the older generation are all different.

In many ways, Chen Xuanxuan sincerely felt that her father-in-law was too incomprehensible.

Sometimes, she couldn't understand his train of thought.

Tonight, when the whole family was having dinner together, Chen Xuanxuan found that her father-in-law had started to find fault with her again.

He kept saying that the food she cooked was not delicious. He also said that her cooking was too oil-consuming.

He even said that she was not a person who could make a living...

In fact, what he said was also a cliché. Sometimes Chen Xuanxuan felt that her ears could grow coils.

Not wanting to pay attention to him, Chen Xuanxuan lowered her head and ate vigorously.

Gu Yu'an saw that she was like a deaf person and didn't respond to him, so he was so angry that he threw the bowl in his hand.

"Eat, eat, eat. Why do you only think about eating all day long?!"

Seeing that he got angry at his wife for no reason, Gu Yanzhang frowned and said, "Dad, the bowl in your hand is a new bowl. I bought it with my own money. It's twenty cents each!"

Gu Yu'an was shocked when he heard this.

A bowl, twenty cents?

Are you sure? !

"Brother Yan, please don't lie to me. How can this bowl be so expensive?"

Gu Yanzhang sighed helplessly, "Dad, last year you felt uncomfortable when you saw my wife change the new bowl. You said you had a headache or a chest pain. I said I would take you to the county to see a doctor, but you refused to go. I had no choice but to buy you a new bowl. This bowl is made of porcelain with patterns on the outside. It's a good omen for surplus every year! After I bought you a new bowl, you stopped making trouble with my wife, didn't you?"

Gu Yu'an was furious when he heard him say that.

It's just a bowl. Why spend so much money on something you can't wear or eat? !

As a man, what bowl can't he use?

Thinking of his son wasting money all the time, Gu Yu'an couldn't help it, and he told Gu Yanzhang and Chen Xuanxuan the idea that he had suppressed in his heart for a long time.

"I've seen it a long time ago, you young people, you don't know how to live!"

"We are not rich. If you want to live a long life, you have to pay attention to the long-term! Money is saved slowly, and it is also saved bit by bit. People like you who are extravagant, how can you live a good life!"

"Son, I am your biological father, I will not harm you. Since you don't know how to save money, then you should give the money to me!"

After saying this, Gu Yu'an stretched out his hand righteously.

His meaning was very clear. He was forcing Gu Yanzhang to take out all the money quickly. Otherwise, he would definitely turn against them.

Seeing him like this, Gu Yanzhang was angry but also felt a little fortunate.

He was fortunate that he listened to his wife and used all the money he had earned in the past few years to buy a house in the county.

Otherwise, his father would definitely think of every possible way to take all the money he had on hand. By then, who knows which relatives the money would go to.

Gu Yanzhang knew his father's character.

On the surface, he was a thrifty person who was good at saving money and could make a living. However, anyone who got along with him for a long time would find that it was impossible for him to live a good life.

Because the first prerequisite for a person to know how to live is that he must be a person who can make money.

Knowing how to make money is the foundation of living!

People without money feel wronged every day. They can't eat this, they can't eat that. They can't wear this, they can't wear that.

Three hundred and sixty-five days a year, twenty-four hours a day, ... living a life of frugality, always putting yourself in a difficult position, always having endless work to do, making life particularly hard, is this the happiness of living with that kind of "man who knows how to live"? !

Gu Yanzhang has made a lot of money in the past few years, and he has long made up his mind that he will never become such a penniless man in his life.

He can't let his wife suffer, and let her not eat well, not wear good clothes...

"Dad, I know the money matters. You don't need to worry."
