Seventeenth uncle, as soon as he thought of the interests involved, he stopped talking, including the two children who were supporting him, who did not dare to interrupt at this time, because they also thought that it would be better for them to keep their mouths shut.
If he accidentally offended Gu Yanzhang's mother-in-law, then when Captain Huang wanted to arrange him to do something, his family might not get any benefits.
As for the rules that Dad mentioned... For
a family like theirs, what rules can there be?
Gu Yanzhang's seventeenth uncle raised two sons in his life.
The two sons were actually the ones with less brains.
Because their living conditions have always been poor since they were young. They couldn't even guarantee three meals a day. They have always been living on the verge of starvation.
Therefore, they understand very well that rules, morals, and other messy things are really useless in the face of hunger.
Seventeenth Uncle also realized that he shouldn’t say something at this time and offend people in vain. However, people who like to be teachers actually have some problems.
They can give up everything for their own face.
Seventeenth Uncle, although he shut his mouth sensibly, he was thinking in his heart, if he shut his mouth and said nothing at this time, wouldn’t it be embarrassing? After all, if he didn’t say anything, the people in front of him and the people around him would misunderstand that he was afraid of the old woman.
