Gu Yundong thought about it, and did not argue.

There were few adults at home and it was true that they could not manage if all the children remained.

The two old folks were getting on in years. As a son, it was bad enough that he had not been filial to them. It would be too much if he also left his children with them.

Also, all these children were freeloaders. Then how would Fourth Brother get married?

“Alright! We’ll bring our own children back!”

Zhou Ping heaved a sigh of relief.

The Gu family had many grandchildren and she knew the two old folks did not care too much about her two young sons. Actually, the family doted on Gu Qingyao the most.

Gu Qingyao was the only granddaughter. In the past, there was also Gu Ruoqing, but the child was not likable. The two old folks had always disliked her, and so had all the other members of the family.

Now that Gu Ruoqing was gone, only Gu Qingyao was left, and they doted on her all the more.

She could tell that Gu Qingyao’s status in the family had grown ever since her engagement to Mo Beihan.

She practically made all the arrangements of what the household would eat and wear. She was almost managing the household.

She was good to Gu Yunshuang, and even better to Li Fangting. When they sent things home, who could guarantee that they would reach her children’s stomachs?

Especially since there were two children in the Mo family!

Could Gu Qingyao disregard her own little family?

Gu Jinlin returned in time to hear his parents say they would bring his two younger brothers back with them. He immediately frowned. “Bring them back? Haven’t you agreed to leave them here? Father, Mother, I know you’re afraid that Grandfather and Grandma will be tired out if there are too many children at home. They’ll have to depend on Youngest Uncle and Youngest Aunt, and it’s embarrassing. But..

“It’s different here. There’s good food and it’s a good place to stay. The children have an opportunity to play and Grandfather and the others can teach them. That’s much better than living with us in the city. Besides Grandfather, Grandma and Youngest Uncle, there are also many experts in the cowshed who can teach them! They are all distinguished members of their professions. It’s better for my younger brothers to stay here!

“If you’re embarrassed, we can always send more money, coupons and other items home! We’ll just have to mail more things back!”

Gu Jinlin did feel a little embarrassed. The two children were still young and it was no easy matter to take care of them.

But for the sake of their future, and to allow them to learn more, Gu Jinlin decided that the two children should stay. Their family could come back more often to visit, and also send more things back.historical

When things got better, they could do their duty towards their grandparents and take care of their youngest uncle and aunt.

But the moment he spoke, Zhou Ping reacted even more violently.

“The village is still a village. How can it be better than the city? Also, who are these old men and women in the cowshed? How can you ask your younger brothers to learn from them? Do you think our lives aren’t hard enough, that you still want to mix with people like them?

“Our family has already suffered greatly because of our background. If it wasn’t for our poor background, your father would not be promoted so slowly. And you, you’ve worked so hard, but you’ve progressed more slowly than your peers. Isn’t it because of our family?”

Gu Jinlin frowned. “But.. that’s only temporary..”

“What temporary? How long is temporary? Your eldest uncle’s family is being demoted because of this. Your eldest cousin has lost his match because of this. Don’t you think that’s enough?”

Gu Jinlin: “..”

Although he inwardly disagreed, he did not know how to refute her. Because these were the facts!
