Sixty-year-old only child: The system taught me how to become rich

She mustered up the courage to reject Wu Jiamei:

"Sister Jiamei, I'm sorry, I want to play with this bike too. I can't lend it to you."

Upon being rejected, Wu Jiamei blushed and shook her head:

"It's okay, sister Ningning. I'm just asking, I'm leaving first."

After saying that, Wu Jiamei ran in the direction he came from.

Gu Ning saw Wu Jiamei's face flushed and looking uncomfortable, and she suddenly felt a little guilty.

She looked up at Gu Xian and asked hesitantly:

"Dad, does this really matter? I rejected Sister Jiamei, but she seemed very unhappy. Did I do something wrong?"

Gu Xian smiled, squatted down, touched Gu Ning's furry little head, and comforted:

"It's okay, it's not your fault. The bicycle is yours, and you have the right to decide whether to borrow it or not. If lending it out will make you unhappy, even if it makes others happy, you shouldn't borrow it. Ningning , you have to learn to say no.”

Today's parents generally believe that children should not be too selfish and should learn to be generous and share with others. This is also determined by traditional thinking, and is also related to the current social situation, where a family has many children.

But Gu Xian didn't think so.

He had experienced the same situation as Gu Ning when he was a child. A child in the village came to his house as a guest with his adults. He fell in love with Gu Xian's small wooden gun and wanted Gu Xian to lend it to him to play with.

Of course Gu Xian was unwilling, because the small wooden gun that the child wanted was something he liked and cherished very much, so he was unwilling to share it with others.

So he refused the child's request.

The child was unwilling on the spot and blamed Gu Xian for being so stingy. Of course, Gu Xian didn't want to be scolded in vain. He felt that this was his own thing, and it was up to him whether he wanted to borrow it or not.

The two quarreled and even got into a fight, and finally the quarrel reached the adults.

Although Gu Daquan and He Chunlan's ideas are relatively open-minded, they still inevitably have some traditional concepts.

Like parents today, they think it's just a toy. Others are just asking you to borrow it for fun, and they don't want to return it to you. Gu Xian's unwillingness to borrow it is really too selfish.

Moreover, they did this behavior when their parents were also present, which made the two of them feel very embarrassed. They also believe that children should not develop selfish habits, otherwise they will be in trouble when they grow up.

So Gu Daquan and He Chunlan scolded Gu Xian severely in front of the child.

Gu Xian was naturally unconvinced and directly contradicted Gu Daquan and He Chunlan. Being contradicted by their children in public, the two of them were naturally very angry. Feeling that Gu Xian was disrespectful, he beat him severely in an attempt to subdue him.

However, Gu Xian has been stubborn since he was a child and is a tough guy. Even though his whole body was covered in blood after being beaten with bamboo branches by two people, he was unwilling to bow his head and insisted that it was not his fault.

Gu Daquan and He Chunlan fought so hard that they couldn't make him admit defeat. The couple had no choice but to beat the child to death, so they had no choice but to give up.

But Gu Xian kept this in mind. For many years after that, he would think about it from time to time. Sometimes he is confused because everyone around him seems to think it is his fault.

Being told so much, he sometimes doubts himself.

Until Gu Xian came into contact with books.

As he read more and more books, he thought more and more. There were all kinds of different ideas in books, and he found answers in these ideas, in this knowledge.

He has no problem, and neither do Gu Daquan and He Chunlan. They just have different ideas.

However, there is indeed a problem with Gu Daquan and He Chunlan's education methods. Their methods are too rough and they cannot reason properly.

But Gu Xian can also understand because they don't have the same environment as him. He can study, but Gu Daquan and He Chunlan do not have such conditions.

Sometimes Gu Xian wonders what would have happened if he had gone home to farm instead of studying. After thinking about it, Gu Xian felt that he might be assimilated by the environment and become the same person as his father, his mother, and his childhood playmates.

They feel that their parents are God and they can do no wrong. They believe that brothers and sisters should help each other. Even if one party does something wrong, they will advise you that there is no overnight grudge between brothers.

Just like Gu Jinhua, it was obviously not her who did the wrong thing, but if she had not chosen to swallow her anger, all the blame would be pointed at her.

Gu Xian didn't want to be such a person, just like he wouldn't change his mind because of his parents' beatings and scoldings when he was a child.

So he has been studying hard, successfully admitted to Huaqing University, and came to Beijing.

Here, he saw another side of the world.

It was also here that he met Gigi Lai.

Sometimes Gu Xian would also wonder why he fell in love with Gigi Gigi.

After thinking about it, he felt that maybe it was because Gigi Gigi was different.

In this era where sons are generally preferred over daughters, there are usually several brothers and sisters in the family, and Gigi Lai is an only child.

Even though Gu Xian had never thought about how many children he would have in the future, influenced by the people around him, he subconsciously believed that people should have more children.

He had never considered the possibility of having just one child.

The appearance of Gigi Lai broke his inherent impression.

Everyone is strong-willed.

Gu Xian was initially attracted to Gigi Gigi and fell in love with her because Gigi Gigi was very good.

At Kyoto University at the time, Gigi Lai was a man of the hour.

Good looks, good grades, good family background.

This made him popular, and Gu Xian couldn't help but be attracted to her.

But the real fall in love with Gigi Lai occurred during their daily interactions together.

It had been so long that Gu Xian had forgotten why, but one day he talked about this topic with Gigi Gigi.

He didn't have much hope at first, thinking that he would hear accusations again. Unexpectedly, Gigi Lai actually affirmed him and thought that what he did was right.

This surprised Gu Xian for a moment.

Unlike Gu Xian, Gigi Lai grew up in a Kochi family. Her family members have all seen a different world and have their own thoughts.

Gigi Lai is the only child in the family and does not have any brothers or sisters. So the education she received since childhood told her that she has the right to choose to keep her own things. She doesn't have to share it with anyone else.

This is completely different from Gu Xian's family environment.

In this era, parents will not be scolded even if they are partial. But if the child resists, he will be drowned in everyone's spit.

There are many children who work hard without complaint and are drained of their value by their parents in order to support another child.

Even though Gu Daquan and He Chunlan didn't do this, they even had a slight preference for Gu Xian because he was the youngest son and had good academic performance.
