Implying that if you provided Fourth Cousin with status, he would also give you money.
Next to her, Ji Mingyue quietly ate her breakfast without saying a word.
Her husband was a powerful man. She could not say anything, but recently, Third Uncle’s family had been living with them. Just providing them with food was no trouble, but Third Aunt kept going shopping and sending huge parcels of expensive things back to her family.
The problem was that they were not spending their own money. They often asked Grandfather and Grandma for money and took it for granted that it was their right to do so.
Zhou Ping’s attitude was that Second Uncle’s wealth and power had been given to him by the two old folks. Since Third Uncle was also their son, he should receive the same treatment.
Heavens!
But Second Uncle’s family had earned everything that they had!
Ji Mingyue knew that if Third Uncle’s wife stayed with them for long, something was sure to happen. This was not the first time she had heard her tell Fifth Cousin, Gu Jinxuan, Little Seven and Little Eight that this was the Gu family, that they were Young Masters of the Gu family, and since Second and Fourth Cousin lived so well, that they should have the same and so on and so on.
But she was just a granddaughter-in-law who had recently married into the family. She could not possibly interfere in this matter, so she just pretended not to notice.
Gu Jinxuan smiled stiffly, "Look at you. We’re all children of the Gu family. Our family is considered to be one of the great families in the capital. What’s a little money?
"I know Second Cousin is very capable, and it’s only right that he spend a little more. He’s talented, so
Gu Qingyao smiled and dropped the matter. It was true that she was his younger cousin, but she had married out, and it was not appropriate for her to meddle too deeply.
With Second Aunt to deal with this matter, it would probably be easily resolved.
Gu Qingyao did not believe that Third Aunt, Zhou Ping, could beat Second Aunt.
"The capital is a great place! There are many opportunities for growth! Fifth Cousin, what are you going to do? If you establish your own family and career and have your own business, it will add to your prestige!"
When Gu Jinxuan heard that, he grew quite excited.
"You’re right. I’m also thinking about that! What do you think I should do? Actually, I was chatting with the other cousins and listening to their views. I would also like to go into business, but my mother says that entrepreneurship is shameful and embarrassing. It would be below the Gu family’s standing to do such things!"
When she heard that, Gu Qingyao did not get angry. In fact, she felt relieved!
If he could say such a thing, it meant he was not a complete wastrel. There was hope.
He had just been… misguided
Gu Qingyao really hoped that her older cousin would not be a loafer. There were many children in their large family. She longed to give more those who were mature and had their own talents so that they would not need to suffer and fight alone. For example, Gu Qingyao had always been very openhanded with Gu Jinhang and Gu Jinfeng.
As for those loafers, the more he demanded things from the family, the more reluctant they grew to give him anything. He was immature, and giving him good things would only harm him.
For Oldest Cousin, Second Cousin and Fourth Cousin, Gu Qingyao felt that it was their blessing to be born into a noble family with great wealth. But considering what Gu Jinxuan was like, Gu Qingyao did not approve of giving him more.
He could not manage it!
"Fifth Cousin, where did you hear such nonsense? What’s wrong with doing business? Doing business is also a way of using your own hard work to earn money and support yourself. In what way is it embarrassing?
"Times have changed; don’t be so old-fashioned! To spend the money you have earned is truly respectable. Are you interested in starting a small business just to try it out? I can give you some suggestions!"
The moment Gu Jinxuan heard that, he grew very excited. "Really? Then you…"
Before he could finish, a voice came from outside.. "Yao Yao! It’s very embarrassing to be an entrepreneur. How can you ask your older cousin to do something like that?"
