Madam Lin was neither humble nor arrogant. She smiled and called out, "Dad, are you here to see the eldest brother? He's in the house."

As she spoke, Madam Lin led Mr. Gu into the house.

Boss Gu had already stood up and was bending over and struggling to put on his shoes, preparing to go out.

Seeing Mr. Gu coming in, he called out calmly, "Dad."

Old Master Gu was somewhat dissatisfied with Boss Gu's attitude, but he was thinking about business and was too lazy to argue with him. He sat down and picked up the pastries on the table in the room to eat.

"Boss, Yunxi hasn't come back yet?" asked Mr. Gu.

Boss Gu was stunned and said, "Yunxi came back with his son-in-law and Yunle a few days ago. What does Dad want to talk to Yunxi about?"

Boss Gu was a little worried. Looking at his father's appearance, it didn't seem like anything good was going to happen.

Old Master Gu curled his lips and said, "I'm asking about today. I heard from people in town that the Lu family slaughtered a black pig today. Why didn't Yunxi bring back the pork?"

As soon as these words were spoken, Boss Gu felt uncomfortable. What did the Lu family's slaughtering of pigs have to do with the Gu family? What his father said made it sound like if the Lu family slaughtered a pig, Yun Xi must bring back the meat!

Boss Gu was unhappy, and it showed on his face. He said calmly, "Dad, what are you talking about? Yun Xi's husband's family slaughtering pigs is also the Lu family's business. What does it have to do with us?"

"Yun Xi came back a few days ago and brought me some things. I am very satisfied with this."

Old Master Gu was also influenced by his eldest son's words, and his face was full of displeasure: "Humph, if it weren't for our Gu family, how could Yun Xi have grown up like this? Unfilial thing!"

"Now that she's grown strong, her husband's family didn't even tell us about such a big thing as slaughtering a pig, let alone bringing back the pork. We've really raised an ungrateful person!"

The last time he saw Gu Yunxi was when Boss Gu was about to die of illness. Counting the days, Old Man Gu found that he hadn’t seen Gu Yunxi for more than half a year.

At that time, he went against Old Lady Gu, hoping to be nicer to the Yunxi sisters in the hope that they would be more filial to him. However, he had no idea that it had any effect at all.

Now, Old Master Gu is completely annoyed. Yun Xi came back a few days ago, but did not go back to the old Gu family, but went directly to his eldest son. He didn’t even know about it!

"This is out of this world, Boss! I'm not dead yet!" Mr. Gu became angrier and angrier as he thought about it. He slammed the table so hard that Mrs. Lin's hands started shaking with fear.

Boss Gu glanced at his father and said, "Dad, we have already separated. When Yun Xi comes back, he will naturally come back to me."

"Besides, you know how mother treated Yunxi and Yunle in the past. The two sisters Yunxi didn't want to go back to the old house because they didn't want to see mother. I don't need to say more about this, right?"

"Dad, if you have nothing else to do, please go back first. I don't feel well and need to rest for a while."

Boss Gu lay down again and no longer looked at Old Man Gu straight in the eye. He no longer had any filial piety towards his father.

He finally understood why Yun Xi and Yun Le had been so indifferent to him before, but were now willing to build a house for him and find him Madam Lin as a companion, which was already very good.

As for anything else, Boss Gu didn't dare to ask for anything more.

Old Master Gu was so angry that he glared at Boss Gu, only to see Boss Gu turn over and face away from him.

He glanced at Madam Lin again. Madam Lin remained indifferent and said with a smile, "Then I will take Dad out?"

Old Master Gu knew that his eldest son was sick. He felt that he owed him a lot and his eldest son was disappointed. No matter how much he said, his eldest son would not pay any attention to him.

As for the new daughter-in-law, Mrs. Lin, it seems that she listens to her eldest son in everything and has no say in the family, so she can be relied upon even less.

So, Mr. Gu shook his head, got up and left.

Back to the old house.

Gu Yunzhi was sitting in the yard. When he saw Old Man Gu coming back, he asked, "Grandpa, why did you come back empty-handed? Didn't my sister say that you went to my uncle's house?"

"What do you mean I came back empty-handed? What? Do you want me to bring something back from going to your uncle's house?" Old Master Gu was furious.

Gu Yunzhi noticed that Mr. Gu was in a bad mood, so he quickly stuck out his tongue and ran out to play.

Seeing this, Grandpa Gu became even angrier. Now his two grandsons, Yunhong and Yunzhi, are both studying in the town. Yunhong is doing better in his studies, but Yunzhi...it's hard to describe, he is extremely playful.

Not long ago, the teacher personally found Boss Gu and told him some things about Gu Yunzhi's studies, saying that he might not be cut out for study and asked the Gu family to make other plans early.

Old Master Gu looked at Gu Yunzhi's back as he ran away and made a decision in his heart.

When the family had dinner in the evening, Mr. Gu said, "Second brother, I've thought about it and maybe what the teacher said is right. Yunzhi should come home from next semester."

A trace of surprise flashed across Gu Laoer's dark face, and he said hurriedly: "Dad, Yunzhi is still young, he will be sensible when he grows up!"

"He's still young? When I was this young, I was working as a servant in a wealthy family! He has been studying for a long time. If he was sensible, he would have become sensible a long time ago." Old Master Gu slammed the table excitedly.

"This matter is settled, there is no room for negotiation. Yunzhi will finish this semester and come back next semester to work in the fields with your father."

Wu was so anxious that she almost cried: "No, Dad, Yunzhi is still so young. He will definitely be good if he follows his brother to study!"

Old Master Gu glared at Wu and scolded her, "Study hard, study hard. Don't you see that the family can still support two people? Look at what the second son has done with the land. It's a problem whether the family can have enough food to eat!"

"Oh, you don't mean to say that you still need to rely on your eldest brother from your mother's side for financial support? Do you think your eldest brother's business is doing well now? If he can help Yun Hong, can he continue to help Yun Zhi? Second brother's wife, you should think it over carefully!"

Ever since the incident between Gu Yunyan and Mr. Li, the son of wealthy man Li, although the Li family did not dare to directly cut off the business of Wu's family for the sake of Gu Yunxi, they also did some things in secret.

Mrs. Wu complained about this several times. When she came to the Gu family's old house, she almost told Mr. Gu directly that it was because of the Gu family that their Wu family's business was in trouble.

Wu felt very uncomfortable listening to her father-in-law's scolding. Her sister-in-law from her natal family now blamed her. Although her eldest brother from her natal family still gave money for Yunhong to study, it was much less than before.

In the end, Mrs. Wu could only look at her youngest son Gu Yunzhi with a guilty look on her face, thinking, what if her eldest son passed the imperial examination this year? If her eldest son passed the imperial examination, perhaps, there might be a turnaround for her youngest son's studies.

Gu Yunzhi was very good at observing people's expressions. Seeing that the adults looked unhappy, he didn't dare to say anything and just buried his head in eating.

After all, he also felt that studying was boring and uninteresting, and was not at all as good as playing with his friends in the village.

But asking him to follow his father to work in the fields...that would also be a scary thing.
