With Gu Sang's words sealing the deal, everyone nodded in agreement.
Gu Sang glanced at Li Shi and said, "Mother, please come with me for a moment."
Li didn't know what Gu Sang wanted to say to her, but she nodded nonetheless.
Li followed Gu Sang to the inner courtyard.
Only the mother and son remained in the inner quarters, which made Li somewhat nervous.
Because she didn't know what had happened.
"Sang Sang?"
Gu Sang gave Li a reassuring look.
"Mother, don't worry, it's nothing serious."
Nothing serious...
At this moment, Li's heart skipped a beat.
After all, some situations are not things that can be explained in just a few words. It is precisely because of this that Li was somewhat uneasy.
Thinking of this, Li took a deep breath and then said, "Um... Sangsang, what do you want to tell your mother? Just say it, it's okay, your mother can handle it."
Gu Sang: ? ? ?
What is that?
Seeing Li's serious expression, Gu Sang couldn't help but burst out laughing.
It seems that Li has misunderstood.
"Mother, nothing's wrong."
However, Gu Sang paused for a moment before saying, "Mother, it's nothing serious, but as you know, I just want to ask you, what do you think we should do next?"
Ask her?
This really surprised Li Shi for a moment, and then she couldn't help but frown slightly.
“No… Sangsang, you know what kind of person your mother is. If you tell me these things… I don’t understand, so…”
Li felt a little apprehensive. "You've said so much, but I don't understand it. So why are you telling me all this?"
Moreover, Gu Sang has always been the one coming up with ideas in this family. If Li Shi were to come up with ideas now, she wouldn't know what to do.
This is somewhat speechless.
Gu Sang paused for a moment after hearing this, and then said, "Mother, what I mean is that in our family, you are the elder, and I can't say anything that would make people think it's not true."
This was a problem that Gu Sang had only recently discovered.
There are many things that everyone knows are true, but people simply don't care about them.
It seems that in their eyes, what a little girl said was not worth paying attention to at all.
Gu Sang also noticed that they were hungry, so at this moment, she wanted to discuss with Li Shi how to communicate about this matter.
After all, no matter what, and no matter what the final outcome of this matter is, it still needs to be dealt with, doesn't it?
"I'm still too young. Even if I say something, some people might not take it seriously. So, Mother, you should deal with this matter first."
In other words, before the siblings were able to stand on their own, Li had to support the family.
"But Sangsang, you..."
Li panicked slightly.
What's wrong with this juice?
And most importantly, Gu Sang has always been in charge of the price, but now she suddenly tells me to handle it. So what should I do?
Gu Sang knew that Li must be feeling somewhat lost and confused at this moment.
“Mother, I didn’t say you absolutely had to handle this. It’s just that you should take care of things for now. Whatever happens afterward, I’ll handle it. What do you think?”
Simply put, someone in this family always needs to take on the responsibility.
Gu Sang is only ten years old, and she is capable of making any decisions, but some people may not listen. Gu Sang is saying these things now just in case.
“Mother, you should know that things have escalated to this point, so this is no small matter for us. Therefore, I hope that you can also stand up and think about how we should handle this matter, otherwise... we will have a lot of trouble in the future.”
These are all inevitable situations.
Just like Zhang's trouble today.
She was certain that she was just a young girl and no one would care what she said, which is why she dared to be so unrestrained. But what if it were someone else today?
What if it were someone else?
Would Zhang still dare?
"So, Mother, you need to be more assertive."
After Gu Sang finished speaking, she felt a sense of helplessness for a moment.
Given Li's personality, it's indeed somewhat difficult to expect her to become assertive.
But there was no other way.
It wasn't easy for the third branch of the Gu family to get to this point. If they continue as before, they will inevitably be bullied.
Gu Sang doesn't want to live that kind of life, nor does she want the Gu family to live that kind of life, so right now, these kinds of things need to be dealt with.
Li was not oblivious. After Gu Sang explained the pros and cons to her, Li understood their responsibility and their significance.
Thinking of this, Li couldn't help but give a bitter smile.
“Sangsang, your mother never thought about these things before…”
Gu Sang understood Li Shi's helplessness, so at this moment, Gu Sang smiled and said, "I know that Mother is very sad about this matter, but things have already come to this, so what can we do, Mother?"
Gu Sang sat down and poured a cup of tea for Li Shi as well.
“The third branch of the family is out now, and they’re making money now. Given my grandparents’ personalities, do you think they’ll just stand by and watch? Besides… we can’t let them stay in jail forever, can we?”
Of course, Gu Sang wanted to lock them up and make them spend their lives in prison, but that was obviously unrealistic and impossible. So at this point, they had to figure out a solution themselves.
“Mom, to be frank, this matter needs to be dealt with eventually. I don’t want anyone else to disrupt the harmony of our family, so we need to make things clear first and get things done.”
Upon hearing this, Li's chaotic mind paused for a moment, and after a long while, she finally understood what was going on.
"So Sangsang means... we still have a lot of things to do, right?"
"Of course."
Gu Sang tilted her head slightly.
"Mother, opening just a sauerkraut fish restaurant is not my goal. I've already sent Li Rong to the county town to inquire. I'm planning to open a rouge shop next."
