Hearing his own father quarreling and losing his temper, the veins on his forehead popped out. Gu Yanzhang said helplessly, "Dad, since you think we are black-hearted, I will go and inform those clan members now that my wife will not accept any disciples."

When Gu Yu'an heard this, he became even angrier. "How can we do that?!"

"A man should keep his word! Your mother-in-law has already agreed, how can we go back on our word?!"

Gu Yanzhang sneered, "Dad, you also know this, right?"

"Just now my mother-in-law mentioned several requirements for accepting an apprentice. One of them is that they have to pay 500 coins. Or they can use other things as compensation. In short, they have to show their sincerity. Otherwise, who would be willing to teach them skills without any reason?"

"You are an older man yourself. In those towns and counties, if you want to learn some skills to make a living, every apprentice has to work for his master for free for 10 to 20 years. What's the big deal that my wife charges 500 coins to teach her the cooking skills? I think she is losing money by taking such a small amount of money!"

Gu Yu'an felt something was wrong when he heard this.

"Five hundred coins! That's five hundred coins! You think it's not enough? Yan'er, you are my son, I never thought you were such a money-grubber..."

"You have been blessed by our clan for so many years. If you forget your roots and don't remember the kindness of our clan leader, how do you want others to look at me? Will they point at my nose one day and say to me that I, Gu Yu'an, have worked so hard for so many years, but raised an ungrateful dog?!"

Whenever Gu Yu'an thought about how his son, who had made a lot of money since he started doing business, had turned into such a selfish person who was greedy for money but didn't care about the Gu family, he felt an indescribable regret in his heart.

He felt that his son was really raised wrong!!!

He was such a person who didn't remember the kindness of the clan, only cared about making money and currying favor with his wife, and even forgot to be filial to his father. Gu Yu'an was so angry that he couldn't help but raise his hand and slapped Gu Yanzhang hard with gritted teeth.

This suddenness shocked Chen Xuanxuan who was present.

Chen Xuanxuan really didn't expect that her father-in-law would start to fight before he had said a few words to her man.

What's wrong with him? !

When she thought about how her father-in-law had been acting like a jerk in the past few months, always finding fault with her and picking on her, even sowing discord and putting eye drops on her in front of Gu Yanzhang every other day, Chen Xuanxuan couldn't help but get angry.

She really didn't understand. Their family's life had finally gotten better, but why did her father-in-law, who was so proud of himself, love to find trouble so much?

What was he trying to achieve by making such a fuss all day long?

Thinking of this, Chen Xuanxuan suddenly pulled a long face and said to Gu Yu'an in a serious face, "Father-in-law, I know you have always been dissatisfied with me. But my skill of making buns was indeed passed down to me by my mother. She told me before that some good things should not be taken out unless it is absolutely necessary. If I hadn't seen that the people in our family were about to starve to death, I would not have thought of going out to make money. Since you think that the two of us should not be selfish and should not accept money from those tribesmen. Then you can talk to my mother about this matter in person!"

"By the way, if you really don't like me and get annoyed when you see me,... the head of the family and I will not make things difficult for you. We don't want to be the kind of heartless, unfilial son, or ungrateful ungrateful person. So starting today, I'll just go back to my parents' home. If I'm not in this room, you, father-in-law, will probably have a much easier and happier life in the future..."

As soon as these words were spoken, not only did Gu Yanzhang's face change drastically, but even Gu Yu'an became angry out of shame.

He stood up from the chair in an instant, picked up the chair and threw it heavily on Chen Xuanxuan. If it weren't for Gu Yanzhang's quick eyesight and quick hands and feet, such a solid wood chair weighing more than ten pounds would have hit Chen Xuanxuan.

Noticing that his father was being rough with his wife, Gu Yanzhang, who had been somewhat patient, couldn't help but lose his temper.

"Dad! What are you doing?!"

"Just talk, why did you hit my wife?"

Gu Yu'an saw with his own eyes that his son was still helping this damn daughter-in-law at this age, and his jealousy and resentment towards Chen Xuanxuan became even heavier.

In the early years, Gu Yu'an and Yu had almost a dozen children. There are

more girls here, so naturally they are not worth much. After all, the purpose of having children in this world is very direct. That is to raise children to provide for old age.

In the words of modern people, children are a kind of old-age care product. And it is also an investment product that must have high efficiency, high return and low risk.

Raising children to provide for old age may not be very effective in modern society. However, in the ancient peaceful society where "filial piety is the rule of the world", the more sons you have, the greater the benefits you will get in your old age.

Gu Yu'an thought he would have a reliable old age life because he had many children in his family. Therefore, when he was young, he treated his children in a particularly rough way.

The Gu family was poor at the time, and Gu Yu'an had a particularly bad temper when he was young, so the children were seriously malnourished. After beating the children too much, the sons and daughters died one by one.

At the beginning, only a few daughters died in Gu Yu'an's family. After five girls were starved to death, beaten to death by their peers in the village, killed by him, and some were frozen to death or died of illness, Gu Yu'an still breathed a sigh of relief.

The reason was simple.

He felt like everyone else in the area who thought that raising girls was a losing business. Since they were raised by others and had to pay for the family's expenses, it would be better not to raise them.

So he thought, if they died, they died. It would be more peaceful when they died. It would also save him a lot of money.

He never thought it was his fault for such things to happen. Because other people's things were much more excessive than his.

However, he was young and full of vigor. After getting used to beating his children, he could not help beating his other sons.

In addition, the family conditions were really bad, too poor, and there were heavy taxes from the court. Life became more and more difficult for the family.

The harder life was, the harder it was to raise a child.

In the end, the only one who was raised safely and successfully married and had children was this one.
