Chapter 114. Obedience
"How can we take care of them?" Xu Yulan was even more reluctant to let the third brother and sister-in-law return when she heard that they had no money. "Father, our carriage is only so big. If my third brother and sister-in-law come back, who will walk downstairs? Who will sleep outside?"
"Father, I know you mean well, but please don't make things difficult for everyone." Gu Kaiyuan didn't know what he was planning, but he didn't want Bai Suihe to have too much contact with the Gu family.
“If we’re over there, at least we can save some food and space at home,” Gu Kaiyuan said, not giving Gu Baijiang a chance to speak. “Besides, those two girls want to repay Suihe’s kindness, and they will take good care of them.”
“Third brother is right,” Gu Kaichen also didn’t want Gu Kaiyuan to come back. The old man still had a lot of money on him, and if Gu Kaiyuan came back, he would have to take a share.
This is good enough. When I'm working, Gu Kaiyuan will come over, but when I'm eating or living, he won't be in my way.
The eldest son's wife remained silent, not only because she was worried about Gu Antong, but also because she was rejecting Gu Kaiyuan.
The family's resources are limited right now, so it would be best if even Gu Kaichen could leave.
Looking at them, Gu Baijiang could easily understand their ulterior motives.
It's a pity that Gu Kaiyuan was such a capable worker. If he were around, these things at home would be taken care of.
"Are you sure you don't want to come back? I won't give you this kind of chance again." Gu Baijiang's voice also turned cold. He had already given Gu Kaiyuan a way out, but Gu Kaiyuan still wouldn't take the bait.
"Father, what do you mean? Are you going to separate me from the family? Why don't I come back?" Gu Kaiyuan was a little nervous, and he was really afraid that the old man would not separate him from the family.
Does he really think the Gu family is a lucky place, and he has to cling to it?
"Then tell me what you're saying? How can a son of the Gu family act like a live-in son-in-law?"
Gu Kaiyuan looked hurt. "Father, what you're saying makes no sense. Do I even have a choice?"
At that time, Suihe and his sister-in-law pooled their money to buy an oxcart and also gave money for household expenses, but they still didn't have a place to stay.
If it weren't for the two loyal servants who happened to be going the same way, how long could she, a pregnant woman, have walked?
What family matter has not we been involved in?
I've been running around these past few days, doing just as much as my older brothers.
"Father, those words are incredibly hurtful. Don't you think your son is your own?"
Everyone was resting when they heard the Gu family making a scene again, so they all perked up their ears. It looked like today was going to be another good show.
But this Gu Laosan is really living a pathetic life. He's been busy these past few days, yet he's still being disliked by his father.
Bai was heavily pregnant when the elderly Gu couple allowed her to walk alongside the car. She found her own way to make a living, and now they can't stand it.
Tsk tsk tsk, I've seen people who can't treat everyone equally, but I've never seen anyone so biased.
"Is this how you talk to your father?" Gu Baijiang felt annoyed, thinking that things shouldn't be like this.
He unconsciously directed all his anger towards Gu Kaiyuan. If his son had been more obedient, or if they had been given a superior room that day, things would have been different...
Gu Kaiyuan, unaware of Gu Baijiang's thought process, was already calculating in his mind that now was not the right time to divide the family property, and given Gu Baijiang's personality, he wouldn't agree. "Father, I just feel somewhat wronged. I don't understand what I did wrong. Why don't we ask everyone to judge this matter..."
This unfilial son, he thinks he hasn't embarrassed the family enough yet. "Alright, I was just giving a suggestion. Since you don't mind the trouble, then you can continue to bring me food every day."
Some of the gossip listeners couldn't help but hiss when they heard this.
"Lord Gu, you certainly have a good appetite."
"If you had three sons, each bringing you a meal, you'd be living a much better life than in Beijing." Chen Dafu, munching on his dark steamed bun, stared at the steaming porridge in his hand, his mouth watering. "Unlike these unfilial sons of ours, who don't even provide a sip of hot water."
The innocent members of the Chen family, caught in the crossfire, were speechless.
"Just eat your steamed bun properly, aren't you afraid of choking?" Gu Baijiang also couldn't stand Chen Dafu's stingy attitude. He had seen many people send things to their family before, and they shouldn't be this poor. They never missed a single meal of the distributed steamed buns.
“I’m afraid of choking, so I’m chewing slowly,” Chen Dafu stopped what he was doing. “We’re colleagues after all. I can tell you don’t really like your third son. Why don’t you give him to me? Let me enjoy the blessings of having children and grandchildren.”
That old man Gu is very wicked; he won't tell him that chewing slowly can increase the feeling of fullness.
Gu Baijiang glanced at him coldly and said, "Chen Dafu, aren't you afraid that your children and grandchildren won't support you in the future?"
"Even if they had ten times the courage, they wouldn't dare. After all, I haven't been harsh on them, and I've treated them all equally," Chen Dafu said with a nonchalant smile. He was confident in the abilities he had in raising his children and grandchildren.
As he spoke, he looked intently at Gu Kaiyuan and said, "I don't think your father likes you very much. Why don't you come and be my son? I'll definitely treat you the same as your brothers."
Gu Kaiyuan sneered inwardly. Treat them the same? Make them eat the same black bread?
"Thank you for your kindness, Lord Chen, but I don't have a preference for finding a father for myself casually. Why don't you ask someone else?"
Gu Kaiyuan didn't know what Chen Dafu was plotting, but if he thought he could scheme against him, he was dreaming.
Gu Baijiang's mood improved a lot. Although Gu Kaiyuan was disappointing, he was still a member of the Gu family. How could he be so easily schemed against?
"Hey, you silly boy, I'm doing this for your own good. Look, your dad doesn't value you much. If you became my son, we'd definitely discuss everything together as a family..."
"Hey old man Chen, that's enough. If you're really that desperate for a son, you can pick up any beggars you can find on the street. These are the ones who are a good match for your Chen family and can fit in quickly." Gu Baijiang was thoroughly fed up with Chen Dafu. He had to follow behind them in such a long procession and always wanted to meddle in everything. He was everywhere.
"There's nothing I can do about it. I just feel a connection with your third son. I always thought he was meant to be the son of the Chen family. If you don't like him, then that's fine, isn't it?"
Gu Kaiyuan didn't want to argue with them any longer, nor did he want to become a pawn in Chen Dafu's hands. "Father, I'll come back for the bowl later. Suihe is still waiting for me to come back for dinner."
Gu Baijiang just wanted to get rid of the child for now; this kid would only bring trouble to the family, and look what trouble he'd gotten into with Chen Dafu again.
If he wants to separate, then separate. Anyway, he has sons to take care of him. "Then go back, and watch your words and actions. Don't be easily provoked."
Gu Kaiyuan glanced at Chen Dafu, who was grinning at him. "Father, don't worry, I don't like to make relatives randomly."
