It was evident that Gu Yundong was not in a good mood and Zhou Ping did not dare to say anything after seeing his frightening expression.

Two days later, Gu Jinlin had not met any trouble but Gu Yundong did.

He lost his job completely!

Gu Yundong collapsed on the sofa when he returned home. “I never expected it! This Zhang family is really powerful. No wonder that Zhang Qiang can act like a tyrant around here.”

Gu Jinlin frowned. “It’s so strange! Why is no one punishing that family when they’re so arrogant?”

Management was stringent now, and there was good law and order. There was something off with the Zhang family’s situation!

Gu Yundong smiled. “You think there’s something off as well? That’s right then. Such a family will either continue to be a tyrant or fall fatally once something happens.”

“How long more can you hold out for?”

Gu Jinlin scratched his nose. “Probably these two days at most.”

Gu Yundong was silent.

Gu Jinlin was very helpless as well. “I wonder what’s happening on Beihan’s side. Father, if he really has no solution.. do we need to return to our hometown and work in the fields?”

A laughter escaped Gu Yundong’s lips. “Do you know how to farm?”

“Uh..” Gu Jinlin was embarrassed. “Nope.. But I can learn!”

Zhou Ping was about to explode in fury. “You two still have the mood to joke at this time? Are we going to live on-air if the both of you lose your jobs?”

It seemed to be normal for Zhou Ping to be anxious and angry at such a situation, thus Gu Yundong replied, “Don’t worry first. Beihan said that we will be fine in the end and he is probably well aware of the situation. Furthermore, you can’t blame us for this issue, can you? The Zhang family started it and we are not as powerful as them so it can only turn out like this.”

“The Ji family is much more powerful than us, right? But aren’t they defeated in the end? Their situation is nowhere better than us now.”

“The current times is not stable and plenty of family clans rise and fall. It is not guaranteed for a family clan to be well-off and impressive forever. It’s fine as long as we are safe and sound. I will not let you all starve. Don’t worry anymore!”

“This is such a huge matter. Can I not worry?” Zhou Ping shouted furiously.

Gu Yundong was helpless. “I know you’re worried but.. there’s no choice, right? It’s not like you don’t know the times now. How many people around us have suffered in the past twenty-over years? It’s already pretty good that our entire family is safe. I am here to deal with these things outside. You don’t need to worry about those matters and just need to take care of the family.”

Unfortunately, Zhou Ping was not comforted at all. The only thing she knew was that her son and husband were about to lose their jobs and the family’s financial support was collapsing – their family was doomed.

“Don’t worry? How can I not worry? What about the family? What are we going to do?”

Gu Yundong’s head throbbed slightly. Seeing that his mother had no solution apart from ranting, Gu Jinlin immediately stood up before Gu Yundong spoke to prevent his parents’ relationship from worsening.

“Father, we still need to make dinner tonight. I’ll bring Mother out to buy some groceries back.”

“Mother, let’s go!”

He tried to pull Zhou Ping with him as he spoke.

“I’m not going. The house is already in this state. Where are we going to get the money to buy groceries? Let go..”

Zhou Ping resisted with all her might but was still pulled away by Gu Jinlin forcefully.

He dragged Zhou Ping out of the house and only released his grip when they were en route to the food store. “Mother, can you stop making a noise about the situation?”

Zhou Ping was infuriated. “I’m making noise? What am I making a noise about? The house is in such a state because of the both of you and you’re still saying that I’m making noise?”

Gu Jinlin felt extremely helpless. Why couldn’t his mother get it?

“The incident has already happened. Father is already upset enough. Is there any meaning in making a din like that? Can it resolve the problem?”

“I..”
