Chapter 230. Meat Bun
"Baijiang, this gentleman said he is your third son, right?" Xu Shuanghong had also had enough of the extra seasonings in the meals these past few days, which were either too salty or too bland. Now, hearing that there were meat buns, she couldn't resist anymore.

"It's that unfilial son. That kid has a rebellious streak. Don't bother with him." Gu Baijiang didn't want to mention it anymore.

But Chen Dafu wouldn't be so easy to talk to. "Lord Gu, you're wrong. Gu Kaiyuan is just fulfilling his filial duty on your behalf, and you should praise him."

Although your food these days isn't very good, it's still all refined grains.

I heard that your people are now receiving only dry steamed buns every day, and they even conserve their grains, only cooking a little thin porridge each day. Living such a meager existence with just dry steamed buns is truly a hardship.

“Lord Chen,” Gu Kaiping stood up at this moment. The soup today had no salt at all, and he had been holding back his anger for a long time.

"You should take care of your own family's affairs. It's not like your family is short of money, so why are you being so stingy?"

Look how skinny your child has become! Don't let him collapse before we even reach Lingnan. This is a child we raised with so much difficulty; you really need to pay more attention to him."

"Young Master Gu, why are you so hostile today? I was just envious of how well you live, and I didn't say anything."

"Alright, you're all people I can't afford to offend. Fine, I'll leave."

After Chen Dafu finished speaking, he shook his head and left, muttering, "This whole family is really ungrateful. Why don't they use the food they have to feed outsiders to eat better themselves?"
"What kind of time is this to be thinking about romance and poetry? Be careful you don't ruin your reputation in your later years."

"Dad, why did you go and provoke them?" Before Chen Dafu even reached his own territory, his youngest son rushed over. "Aren't you just giving Miss Fan a bad impression?"

Chen Dafu rolled his eyes at him. "What do you mean I provoked them? I was just trying to be helpful by sending them a message. Not only were they ungrateful, but they also spoke ill of me. As their son, you shouldn't be thinking about helping me get revenge, but you're still thinking about those romantic things."

Let me tell you, they don't even look down on fine grains; they wouldn't even deign to look at our dry steamed buns.

Before Chen Laoqi could retort, he heard a pleasant female voice from the other end of the line, "Baijiang, this gentleman just mentioned your third son. As an elder, I haven't met him yet. Should I go and say hello?"

Fan Meilin had been asking a lot about the Gu family these days. He had long been curious about Gu Kaiyuan and his wife, and he heard that they were living a good life. He wondered if he could stay with them and suffer less.

“There’s no reason for you to go see him. I’ll have the child call him back later.” Gu Baijiang finished the gruel in his bowl. Although it was edible, Liu was becoming more and more perfunctory. If this continued, he might as well just drink a bowl of hot water every day.

The mother and her two daughters put down their bowls at the same time; they no longer wanted to eat this unpalatable porridge.

“Father is right. We can’t let Aunt Xu work so hard. We can do this kind of rough work.” Gu Kaichen said this, but his eyes were fixed on the Fan sisters.

"Look, the Gu family father and son are both in relationships," Chen Dafu said sarcastically, after all, he also had his pride and didn't want to ruin the young girl's reputation.

"Once things settle down, I'll have your mother find you a matchmaker. She'll definitely find you someone you like." Chen Dafu promised a bright future. His daughter-in-law had to be someone who pleased the old couple. What kind of taste did these young people have? They shouldn't bring trouble to the family.

Look at the kind of people who are targeted once or twice.

Chen Laoqi was unwilling, but seeing the Gu family father and son entangled with the mother and daughter, he felt a bit disgusted.

They can't even appreciate such delicious porridge; their family really can't afford to feed them.

☆ When Gu Kaichen saw him again, Gu Kaiyuan didn't want to say anything and just quietly looked at him.

"I heard you sent big meat buns to your great-grandfather and the others. Why don't you give some to your father instead?"

"There are only so many buns, not enough to go around for all the elders in the clan, so there's nothing I can do about it."

"You little rascal, you can't tell inside from outside..."

"Second brother, if you're here to preach, then goodbye."

You should go back and ask your father about the concept of filial piety. Can I bypass so many elders and directly send him food?

If word gets out, it won't sound good, and our whole family might be rendered unfit for this world.

"Don't try to talk your way out of this," Gu Kaichen knew he couldn't win against Gu Kaiyuan. "Aunt Xu and the others want to see you."

"Some women of unknown origin, and you still treat them as elders."

"What's wrong? Are you so eager to find your father a mistress, or are you going to break the family rules first and take two beautiful concubines for yourself?"

Gu Kaichen was surprised that Gu Kaiyuan, who did not live with them, knew them very well.

Since he had already made up his mind, he didn't want to hide it anymore. "So what? Our family is no longer the same as before, so we can ignore those rules."

Bai Suihe sized up Gu Kaichen, who probably didn't even know what kind of person he was now. He used to be unkempt, but now he dressed himself up like a peacock with its tail feathers spread.

I don't know what Xu Yulan was thinking. It's so obvious, can't she see it? Or has she already given up the struggle?
"Anyway, I've already delivered the message. This is also Father's intention. You can decide for yourself." Gu Kaichen felt uncomfortable standing there. He could sense the contempt that Gu Kaiyuan and his wife had for him.

After saying that, he turned and left immediately, not believing that Gu Kaiyuan would dare not make the trip.

"Every day is filled with nothing but bullshit and nonsense."

Bai Suihe chuckled, "Stop complaining. You'd better go and take a look, or you won't know how to talk behind people's backs."

"Why would I be afraid of them making fun of me?" Gu Kaiyuan said disdainfully. He just didn't use such low-level methods, otherwise the rumors about the Gu family would have been flying everywhere long ago.

“Yes, I know you’re not afraid,” Bai Suihe said, her face flushed red from the fire and sweat beading on her forehead. She quietly moved away from the fire before saying, “Do you believe that if you don’t go now, they’ll send more people later? You’ll have to go anyway, so why struggle?”

Bai Suihe already knew the Gu family very well, and even wondered who would be next, what they would say, and what methods they would use.

Seeing Bai Suihe lost in thought again, Gu Kaiyuan guessed what she was thinking. He couldn't help but shake his head. Suihe was good in every way, except that she liked to watch the excitement, and when she got ruthless, she would even watch the excitement about her own situation.

"The genealogy has been copied. Should we deliver it on the way?" Bai Suihe had already sent Gu Kaiyuan into her space to copy the genealogy. She had planned to deliver it later, but now was the perfect time.
