"You… You’re the Gu family’s grandson. You…"
"Jinlin is right. Why do you spoil the children like that?" Zhou Ping was getting very agitated when Third Uncle, Gu Yundong, interrupted her.
"Jinlin is an adult, and adults must learn to plan their own lives and shoulder their responsibilities. If a man has no abilities at all, how is he going to support his family in the future?
"There’s no need to buy a car now. He must depend on his own abilities. A wedding costs money! Don’t lead the children astray, especially Little Five!"
Gu Yundong glared at Gu Jinxuan.
Gu Jinxuan immediately shrank back. "What does this have to do with me?"
Gu Yundong snorted coldly. "You know very well. How much has your third brother provided for the family over the years? What about you? You’re always away. You only think about having fun outside. Let me tell you, if you can’t produce the money to get married, I’ll teach you a lesson!"
Zhou Ping was furious. These men were so stupid; none of them understood that she meant it for their own good. Gu Qingyao’s maternal side was so rich, especially that Qiao Yuying. She was definitely extremely wealthy.
Gu Qingyao was her only daughter. Besides, Gu Qingyao owed her position in the Mo family to the Gu family’s support.
It was only right that she provide some money for the family.
Her sons were all grandsons of the Gu family. So what if Gu Qingyao bought a car?
She should buy a few cars for each of them!
Zhou Ping was rather agitated. "Why won’t any of you listen to me? It’s so hard on Jinlin
"This place is so far away from the school. He has to wake up so early that it’s still dark outside. It’s so hard on him. He mustn’t catch a cold. We used to live in the south. I heard that it’s especially cold in the north. You should have some thought for your third brother. Why not let him buy a car?"
Ji Mingyue did not even lift her head. She just kept eating her meal silently. She only greeted Gu Yundong and the others when they came back.
When she heard Zhou Ping’s words, she silently threw a glance at Gu Qingyao.
She understood what Zhou Ping was implying. She could not help thinking of her own family. The Ji family was comparatively harmonious, but within the family, everyone had their own agenda. So although she had just joined the Gu family, she was well aware of what was going on.
Of course, Gu Qingyao also caught Zhou Ping’s hint.
But she pretended not to understand. She smiled and avoided the topic before she changed the subject. She said to Gu Yundong and Gu Jinlin, "It’s true that the winters in the north are very cold! Much colder than in the south. Third Uncle and Third Cousin, you’ve just moved here, but you will slowly get used to it.
"Second Uncle’s house is indeed a bit far from the school, and it’s not very convenient to travel there in the winter. By the way, Third Uncle, have they assigned your house? If they haven’t, I’ll ask Brother Beihan and see if he can help you get a house nearer to the school. That way it will be easier for Little Seven and Little Eight when they go to school!"
Zhou Ping’s expression immediately grew very ugly.
Gu Jinlin and Gu Yundong had been thinking that Zhou Ping’s words were rather strange. But before they could figure it out, Gu Qingyao was speaking to them. Gu Yundong immediately smiled and said, "Yes, it’s been assigned. It was assigned long ago. Thanks to you children, I got a very good house!"
Gu Jinlin grew very excited at the mention of the house. "That’s right.. Younger Cousin! It was really because of you! The house is 180 square feet, and it’s nicely renovated! It’s near the university. It’s wonderful!"
