Chapter 254 Buying the Ancestral House
"Su Shuoci~How did you ruin 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, looking helpless and at a loss as to what to do.
She realized that she had lost her composure. She suppressed her anger and asked softly, "When did Dr. Jiang pass away?"
"I've been gone for nine days. Sheng Yueliang scolded me so much that I felt ashamed. I didn't want to keep him. I asked you about it that day."
Su Shuoci looked at his wife anxiously. He knew that she was really angry this time.
"Your body still needs to be nursed back to health with acupuncture every day. Stopping in the middle will have some effects, 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 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 looking aggrieved, 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 the surgery, so she counselled 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 wan.
Once the fruit on the tree is ripe, it will fall immediately. Everything must be left a little short in order to last forever."
"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 into his body. Su Shuoci endured her "torture".
After inserting the needle 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 haven't called home today, and he was a little worried about you, so he wanted to call Shuoci to ask. ]
Gu Jiaojiao felt a little guilty. After she came back, she had been hanging out with Su Shuoci so much that she even forgot to call the Gu family to report that she was safe.
It was already nine o'clock in the evening. She got off the plane at 4:30 and arrived home at a little after 5:00. On the way, she still 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 thinking of calling you as soon as 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, the previous courtyard had been divided up by his second brother and third sister.
The relevant departments came to mediate, but 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, because Grandpa Gu doesn't like living with his conscienceless second son.
Whenever I see him, I think of the past when he pointed at him mercilessly and said that they were no longer father and son.
So, Grandpa Gu also boldly invited a mason to come and build a wall to separate the yard into two yards.
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 and uncomfortable just looking at him, which made him feel very embarrassed.
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 one 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 the old father's heart.
He had to settle for the second best and wanted to use money to buy out the yard. Either Dad Gu gave him money or he could accept the compensation from him.
After graduating from university, Uncle Gu did not teach like his father and older 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. Therefore, he was not short of money and wanted to please Old Man Gu even more.
Men of letters value integrity, and Mr. Gu is a man of integrity, loyalty, benevolence, enthusiasm and courage.
He and his second son's personalities were incompatible. He felt that his second son's humor and wit were an illusion and a means for him to gain personal advantage.
The second one lacks the romantic imagination, deep affection, and perseverance of the literati.
But Mr. Gu does not have the kind of complex that intellectuals have, who take care of everything, big or small, and who are extremely poor but still have the world in their hearts.
Therefore, he would not let his second son take advantage of him. No matter it was the yard or the reputation, 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 success 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 yard.
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 silence on the other end of the phone, Gu Jiaojiao realized that both Grandpa Gu and Father Gu had no money.
[Dad, let me lend you some money first. ]
[Jiaojiao~Is this too much for you? It costs a lot of money to buy that big yard. Where do you get so much money? ]
Grandpa Gu said anxiously. The phone on their end was on speakerphone, so all the Gu family members could hear Gu Jiaojiao's voice.
[Oh! Don't worry, Grandpa. Your granddaughter is working so hard on the front line. There must be some benefit to her...]
Before Gu Jiaojiao finished her words, Su Shuoci snatched the phone away: [Grandpa, father-in-law, I will 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 borrow Geng Haozhi's money? ] Father Gu asked in embarrassment.
[Dad, that's your son-in-law's money. They are a transportation partnership. Whoever needs it can use it first.]
[Thank you, Shuoci and Jiaojiao. I will help you build a small courtyard and you can live together.]
[Dad, please help us decorate a room. We won’t live with you when we go to the capital. We have already bought our yard.]
Gu family members: ...all glared at Big Brother Gu fiercely.
Jiaojiao's yard has been bought, and this time I didn't ask them to live together! Thank you very much for the monthly ticket of "刺gg." and the recommendation tickets of the babies () () Come on (End of this chapter)
