Seeing that his father had listened to those words, Gu Yanzhang couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
He had long discovered that his father, at this age, was still confused.
It seemed that he didn't think much in his head.
He was always like this.
Whenever he heard those people in the village complimenting him and kissing his ass, no matter what the other party's purpose was, he would agree immediately.
He always said that they were just a few people from the village and outside the village, and they were all relatives with some blood relationship! Since the other party has come to the door to beg, if he doesn't agree, wouldn't it be very disrespectful?
Moreover, Gu Yanzhang found that his father liked to tell him, "Suffering a loss is a blessing. Don't think that he will repay you in the future because you helped him so much today. You shouldn't ask for rewards when you help others... Son, you have to think about it carefully. When we were in trouble in the past, didn't our relatives help us?"
When Gu Yanzhang heard his father say this, he felt the same way in his heart.
Whether his relatives helped his family or not, his father should know it in his heart!
Gu Yanzhang thought about it for several days with his conscience, and he found that most of his relatives were the kind of people who bully the weak and fear the strong.
It was a great blessing that these people did not bully their family. How could they take the initiative to help them?
During this period, Gu Yanzhang had already heard some people in the county say, "When you are poor in a busy city, no one cares about you. When you are rich in a remote mountain, you have distant relatives."
Every time Gu Yanzhang heard such words, he sighed in his heart.
Because he felt that his family was like this.
When his family was poor in the past, people in the village and outside the village despised and looked down on them, and often bullied them. They did not treat them as individuals.
Sometimes, they treated them like dogs.
But since their family became prosperous, had money, and had many ways to make money, their attitudes suddenly changed. Every other day, no matter if they had something to do or not, they would come to their house and
say all kinds of disgusting things, constantly praising their father.
His father was not someone who could give him peace of mind.
He always took those flattering words seriously. Moreover, he was smug. He was bragging about how powerful he was now and how he had connections with the government. As long as they dared to ask, his son - that is, himself, could basically accomplish those things beautifully. Every time Gu Yanzhang thought of his father, who had caused him so many troubles for no reason and always had him, as his son, to clean up the mess, he felt an indescribable pressure and pain. So, Gu Yanzhang suddenly took a deep breath and said to his father in a serious tone, "I want to tell you something. Don't be so angry. This matter concerns the future livelihood of our whole family and whether we can make money." Gu Yu'an instinctively felt something was wrong when he heard this. Then he frowned and said impatiently, "What is it? What do you want to talk about?" "I told you in advance! Don't think that you can control everything about me as a father just because you are strong enough and can make money." "I've told you before, no matter what I do, you have to be gentle. I'm your biological father who gave birth to you and raised you! I worked hard to raise you. As for you, no matter what, you still have to be filial to me. If you are not filial to me, I have told the clan leader and the elders in the clan, and then I will punish you according to the family law!" Gu Yanzhang heard his father threatening him again, and he always emphasized that he was his father and he, as his son, had to be filial to him, praise him, and be respectful to him. He couldn't encourage him or contradict him, and he had to be obedient. Deep in his heart, he developed a strong feeling of disgust for his father. He secretly thought in his heart that he hoped that the children born by his four daughters-in-law would all be boys. Otherwise, they don’t know what suffering they will have in the future. His father whispered to him some time ago that if the young wives in his family cannot give birth to sons this time, but can only give birth to daughters, then he will personally kill those money-losing women one by one. Gu Yanzhang doesn’t want to see such a tragedy in the world, and he doesn’t want his granddaughters to come to this world to suffer. Gu Yanzhang has always felt that being a woman is too hard. Therefore, he really hopes that his daughters-in-law can give birth to sons. And give birth to sons forever, and it would be best if he could give birth to eight or ten in one go as his father said. In this way, their Gu family will be prosperous. There are plenty of men out there. If there is no shortage of labor, all the things at home will be easier to do. "Dad, don't be so quick to lose your temper, I haven't told you yet." "This time, Captain Huang introduced me to a good business. I'll tell you something in advance, you must not agree to those people. Even if those people come to you begging, you have to grit your teeth and not agree to you easily. Dad, do you know that you have caused me a lot of trouble some time ago?" "Dad, let me tell you something from the bottom of my heart. This person, in fact, does not live for face, he actually lives for benefits. I was young and had no experience, and I didn't know these things. Then one time, a few months ago, when I was doing business outside and dealing with those small vendors, I suddenly understood a truth." "...What's the reason?" Gu Yanzhang said, "No matter what, we can't be manipulated by those relatives in the future. I always hear people say that when you are poor in a busy city, no one cares, but when you are rich in the mountains, you have distant relatives. It can be seen that people nowadays are realistic. When you have benefits, they will all come to you. If you have no benefits and no value, no one wants to look at you." Thinking of those people's repeated faces, Gu Yu'an's head, which was still a little hot, suddenly calmed down. He thought seriously about the things that happened recently. He felt belatedly that he seemed to have been used by those relatives, and they used him in a serious way. During this period of time, he really added a lot of trouble to his son.
