"Su Shuoci~ How could you have ruined your body like this?" Gu Jiaojiao's eyes turned red with anger.
"Wife, I didn't do any work, so how could it be ruined?" Su Shuoci was frightened when he saw that she was really angry.
Gu Jiaojiao saw that the man was panicking and anxious, not knowing what to do, and looked helpless and at a loss.
She realized that she had lost her composure. She suppressed her anger and asked softly, "When did Doctor Jiang pass away?"
"He's been gone for nine days. Sheng Yueliang scolded him until he was humiliated. I didn't want to keep him. I asked you about that the other day."
Su Shuoci looked at his wife nervously. He knew that she was really angry this time.
"Your body still needs acupuncture treatment every day. Stopping midway will have some impact, but with me here it won't have much of an impact."
"Wife, I'm sorry, I really didn't know." Su Shuoci knew that it must have had a great impact.
Otherwise she wouldn't be so angry, but he also felt very wronged. At that time, he did call her to ask.
When Gu Jiaojiao saw the man's aggrieved look, she remembered what he had asked her that day.
But her mind was full of paint at the time and she didn't hear clearly. Anyway, she had to report to the imperial capital in ten days.
It would be okay to recuperate for a while before having surgery, so she counseled him with a smile.
"That's fine. The most taboo thing in the world is perfection.
For example, the moon in the sky, once it is full, will soon wane.
The fruit on the tree, once ripe, will soon fall; everything must be left a little short in order to last."
"I feel relieved that my wife is not angry with me." Su Shuoci also breathed a sigh of relief.
Although his wife was very beautiful when she was angry just now, he just liked to see her smile.
Gu Jiaojiao patiently gave him a full body massage before inserting the needles. Su Shuoci endured her "torture".
After inserting the needles and giving him an IV drip, the phone in the living room rang.
【Hello, who is this?】
[Jiaojiao? Are you home? Daddy saw that you hadn't called home today and was a little worried about you, so I wanted to call Shuoci to ask.]
Gu Jiaojiao felt a little guilty. After she came back, she had been spending so much time with Su Shuoci that she even forgot to call the Gu family to report her safety.
It was already nine o'clock in the evening. She got off the plane at 4:30 and arrived home at 5:00. On the way, she remembered to call the Gu family as soon as she got home.
[Dad, I'm so sorry. I took a shower and had dinner right after I got home. I was just about to call you when I was done.]
"It's okay, Jiaojiao, eating is more important. Your grandpa hasn't gone to bed yet. We have something important to discuss with you."
Father Gu briefly told Gu Jiaojiao that when they returned to the imperial capital, their previous courtyard had been divided up by his second brother and third sister.
The relevant departments came to mediate, and his third sister, as a married daughter, was not allowed to live in her parents' yard.
But his second brother's family can live there. Grandpa Gu doesn't like living with his conscienceless second son.
As soon as I saw him, I remembered that year when he pointed at me mercilessly and said that they no longer had a father-son relationship.
So, Grandpa Gu also domineeringly invited a mason to come and separate the yard into two yards with a wall.
Grandpa Gu and Dad Gu occupy two-thirds, and Second Uncle Gu occupies one-third. With this separation, their side is doing okay.
But Second Uncle Gu seemed very stingy, which made him feel uncomfortable. How embarrassing it was for him.
For more than ten years, Uncle Gu has lived in a big yard, which makes him feel very proud.
So, he apologized to his father every day, and from then on they lived in the same yard, with the same entrance and exit gate, and he would treat them very well.
But Mr. Gu refused to believe him, and Uncle Gu had no way to move his old father's heart.
He had to settle for the second best and wanted to buy out the yard with money. Either Dad Gu gave him money or he accepted the compensation from him.
After graduating from university, Uncle Gu did not teach like his father and elder brother, but chose to go into politics.
Originally, all the opportunistic people like them were unlucky, but since his father and elder brother were lucky, he was lucky too.
While others were unlucky and stepped down, Second Uncle Gu was promoted instead. So he was not short of money and wanted to please Old Man Gu even more.
Intellectuals naturally value integrity, and Mr. Gu is a man of integrity, who values reputation, loyalty, benevolence, enthusiasm, and courage.
He and his second son's personality are incompatible. He thinks his second son's humor and wit are an illusion and a means for him to gain personal advantages.
The second one lacks the romantic imagination, deep affection, and perseverance of the literati.
But Mr. Gu did not have the complex of a scholar who was concerned with everything, big or small, and who, even though he was extremely poor, still had a global vision.
Therefore, he would not let his second son benefit from his fame and fortune, and he would stay away from him.
The main reason is that his second son is not a good person, and once he gets involved, it's like a dog-skin plaster that can't be removed.
His granddaughter Jiaojiao and grandson-in-law Su Shuoci are not ordinary people, and they will achieve great things in the future.
It would be disastrous if his second son tried to curry favor with him, so Grandpa Gu wanted to ask Su Shuoci and Gu Jiaojiao what they thought.
Because they had no money, they wanted to accept the money from Uncle Gu to buy a small courtyard.
I called to ask whether Gu Jiaojiao's parents-in-law would go to the capital and how big a yard they would buy.
After listening to her father's explanation of the whole story, Gu Jiaojiao was deeply moved.
She blurted out, "Dad, of course it would be prestigious for you to buy the Gu family's ancestral home."
Hearing the silence on the other end of the phone, Gu Jiaojiao realized that both Grandpa Gu and Dad Gu had no money.
【Dad, let me lend you some money first. 】
[Jiaojiao~ Is this too much for you? Buying that big yard will cost a lot of money. Where will you get so much money?]
Grandpa Gu said anxiously that the phone on their end was on speakerphone, so all the Gu family members could hear Gu Jiaojiao's voice.
[Hey! Grandpa, don't worry. Your granddaughter's hard work on the front lines must be beneficial...]
Before Gu Jiaojiao could finish her words, Su Shuoci snatched the phone away: "Grandpa, father-in-law, I'll call Geng Haozhi later. Just ask him to send whatever you need."
Gu Jiaojiao: ...
This man is really good. That's the money they want to use to buy a third truck.
Su Shuoci and Geng Haozhi bought two large trucks together. They made a lot of money in the past two months and are preparing to buy a third one.
"Shuo Ci, how can we afford to borrow Geng Haozhi's money?" Father Gu asked in embarrassment.
"Dad, that's your son-in-law's money. They're a transportation partnership. Anyone who needs it can use it first."
"Thank you, Shuoci and Jiaojiao. I'll help you build a small courtyard, and you can live together then."
"Dad, just help us decorate a room. We won't live with you when we go to the capital. We've already bought our own yard."
Gu family members: ...all glared at Big Brother Gu fiercely.
I have already bought Jiaojiao’s yard, but I didn’t even invite them to live with me this time!
