Female supremacy: leading the whole family to change their family

Chapter 213 Qian Xiumin's Reluctance

Gu Ping touched the two children's heads and said with a smile: "Your grandmother will be back soon, so you should study hard and recite to your grandmother when the time comes, okay?"

Gu Chen and the others nodded immediately. Although she was calm, she still had the mentality of a child, so she took Gu Ping's words seriously.

I thought that she must study hard, and when she could recite the books, her grandmother would definitely praise her when she knew about it.

Gu Chen and Gu Yao have a deep relationship. Gu Ping and Wang Qilang were in the capital before, so Gu Chen can be said to have grown up under the care of Gu Yao, and they spent a long time together.

Although she has returned to live with her parents now, Gu Yao has not neglected her. It can be said that she loves her even more. After all, she is the eldest granddaughter.

Gu Chen originally wanted to go back with his grandmother, but Gu Yao didn't want to. After all, she was still young and it was better for her to stay at home to observe mourning.

If Gu Yang wasn't already twelve years old, Gu Yao wouldn't have thought of taking her along.

At the beginning, Chen Yan had offended Gu Yao because of a small matter, but now he has become obedient.

Now Gu Yang is mourning with Gu Yao in his hometown. He is happy, but he will never be as high-profile as before.

After all, he only has this one daughter, and he doesn't want his daughter to be disliked by Gu Yao because of him.

And it’s time for Gu Yang to get married, but he is just a servant and cannot attend the banquet, so he has to be handed over to Lin Wulang.

He now came to Lin Wulang's yard almost every day to talk to him, do some embroidery work for him, and even went back to pay his respects to him every two days.

At first, Lin Wulang didn't know why Chen Yan always came to pay her respects to him.

Although she had been thinking of asking him not to come, Chen Yan still came to accompany him as usual.

Although he didn't quite understand it in his heart, he now knew what his plan was.

Lin Wulang knew that he was actually doing this for Gu Yang's marriage and sighed to Ding Miao beside him: "I didn't expect that Chen Xiaoshi would be well behaved now. I remember that he was a little bit arrogant before."

Ding Miao smiled and said, "He doesn't know his position. Now that the Third Miss has grown up, he will naturally know it. I hope he won't do something speechless again. After all, the Third Miss's marriage still depends on you, husband."

Gu Yang is indeed okay, although not as good as Gu Ping, but it would be good for him to pass the imperial examination and become a minor official to support his family.

"I also have an idea about Ayang's marriage. After all, our Gu family has a good reputation, so it's okay for her to marry a good doctor."

Lin Wulang never thought of taking advantage of his status as a doctor to ignore his children. Even if he did so, Gu Yao would not agree.

The Gu family has only two adult daughters, so he hopes that all the children in the Gu family will have a bright future and serve as a helper to his A Ping.

In fact, he couldn't understand why there were only these few children in their family. Most of them only had two or one. When he thought about other families' husbands and wives, sometimes they could have three or four children. Sometimes he really couldn't understand it.

But he already has grandchildren now, so he doesn't expect to have more children. As long as his A Ping is well, that's enough.

Qian Xiumin felt very complicated after arriving at the Gu family. She didn't expect that the Gu family was not as good as her before, and now they are not as good as the Gu family.

Instead, she still has to look up to the Gu family and need their help.

She felt very guilty towards the children at home. It was because of her that the children could not take the scientific examinations. Although she has grandchildren now, it will take a long time for them to grow up.

When Qian Xiumin's doctor, Lang Ruan, saw me, she said cautiously, "My dear wife, don't worry. We have money now. As long as we work hard, we can still make ends meet. Besides, our children are still copying books. They can still earn 200 coins for each book."

He knew that life was not easy at home, after all, there were many children, and he had already spent a lot on marrying her.

He is old now and doesn't want to struggle anymore. He just wants to live a good life.

Sometimes if the family caught some special products in the mountains, they would send them to the Gu family.

After all, the reason why their whole family can survive without hunger is thanks to Gu Jia.

Moreover, the whole family had been targeted by others before, so the Gu family helped them a lot.

Qian Xiumin felt sad when she saw his old appearance: "It's all my fault. If I hadn't interfered in those things, our family wouldn't be like this."

The Qian family was still a good family, but because their house was ransacked, all their belongings were confiscated.

If it weren’t for the Gu family’s help, everyone in their family would probably have starved to death.

And after Qian Xiumin comes back, I have to think carefully about what to do next.

After all, there is a big family at home, and I also want to see my great-grandson go to school.

She was unwilling to accept this, after all, her family used to be a family of scholars.

Although there is a general amnesty now, they still cannot take the imperial examinations.

So I still want my granddaughter to lead the whole family to climb to the position of a scholarly family.

But she is old now, and after all, so many years in Lingnan have worn away her spirit.

If it weren't for that breath, she would have died there long ago. It was also because Gu Yao sometimes sent her some things, otherwise she would not have been able to hold on for so long.

She now has very special thoughts about Gu Yao. On the one hand, she is grateful to her, but on the other hand, she is jealous of her.

He never thought that what Gu Yao said was right. Although the Gu family was poor in the past, they are now a fourth-rank official and even have a bright future. Maybe she will be promoted after this time.

Even her daughters are all officials, and her granddaughters are also very outstanding. It makes me feel unwilling just thinking about it.

She looked at her daughters. The eldest daughter was farming at home, and the second daughter was copying books, but she only earned two hundred coins for each book, which was not enough money.

The third daughter works as a waitress in this town, but what's the point? The money she earns is still very little.

The family bought more than ten acres of land with Gu Yao's help, and they probably couldn't even have enough food to eat.

Sometimes I have to rely on my son’s dowry to make a living, which is quite embarrassing to think about.

She had never thought that she would live her life like this. She thought that when she met her friends in the future, they would laugh at her, saying that she was nothing now and had to be frugal and calculating even when eating.

But she was thinking that after Gu Yao came back, she could ask her for help.

After all, he really couldn't farm if asked to do so. In fact, it was because of her that many people still remembered her, even though she couldn't find a job.

She was unwilling to copy books. After all, copying books made money too slowly, the family had little money, and other children had to get married.

Although Qian Xiumin wanted Gu Yao to help, after staying at home for a few days, he saw that the money in the house was getting less and less.

She had no choice but to follow her child to copy books. Fortunately, my handwriting was very good and she could speak it too, so she earned a hundred more coins from the books she copied than her daughter.

This also made her daughter particularly envious, thinking that it was no wonder that my mother was able to become a high-ranking official.

However, she also felt a little resentful in her heart, thinking that if her mother had not insisted on interfering in the fight for the throne, her family would probably still be the same as before, or even better, as she would still be the daughter of an official.

It was almost the end of the month and Gu Yao was finally about to come back, and I had already finished all the other things in Gujia Village.

I even brought other children from Gujia Village back with me. They also wanted to take the imperial examination, and they also wanted to study in the Gujia school.

There are two kinds of academic credits in the Gu family: external and internal. The internal one is for Gu Yao’s children, and the external one is for people from other families who study in the Gu family.

The teachers in the Gu family are pretty good, and other members of the Gu family can also get good grades if they come to study at the Gu family.
