The Qiao Family Returns To China (3)

Gu Qingyao had not expected things to develop so swiftly!2

Before she left, she told her father that her grandmother ruled the household. Grandfather was very indulgent towards Grandmother. Whatever suited her, suited him.

As long as he could manage Grandmother, Grandfather would not pose a problem.

And what Grandmother liked best was traditional Chinese medicine.

After she left, there was no one left in the family to listen to her 'lectures'. If you often engage her on these topics, Grandmother would certainly like you.

She had not expected Father to have gotten Grandmother to like him so much within six months!

Amazing!

They put away their luggage. Meanwhile, the kitchen had finished preparing their meal.

The Qiao family was staying here in the future and needed someone to look after them. So Gu Qingyao had hired servants already.

Now the food was laid out on the table. They all ate and went to rest.

Gu Jinhang went back to the Gu house to update them on the situation.

The two old folks from the Gu family were already waiting.

When they saw that Gu Jinhang was back, Gu Chonghua impatiently asked, "Well?"

Gu Jinhang said, "Grandfather, Grandma, don't worry. The Qiao family seems quite nice, and Young Uncle gets along well with them. The two old folks of the Qiao family like him very much. I've seen Young Aunt too. She's outstandingly beautiful, elegant and gracious, and she and Young Uncle are very close."

Wen Ruyu immediately beamed. "That's great, that's great. I knew my son would know how to deal with things."

Gu Chonghua asked, "Are they very rich? When your Young Uncle marries your Young Aunt, we can't appear too shabby. Your Grandma and I are thinking of preparing their matrimonial home for them. We looked at many places, and a few are not too bad. It's just that we can't decide which one to buy."

Gu Jinhang laughed. "If you can't decide, you had better ask Yao Yao. She's sure to know Young Aunt's preferences. But you don't have much time. My guess is that Young Uncle and Young Aunt will hold their wedding soon, with as little delay as possible. So you had better hurry up and get their matrimonial home ready. You'll have to get furniture and other things too, so you may not have enough time.

"Grandfather, if you don't know which house to buy, you might as well buy a few and give them all to Young Uncle and Young Aunt. That way, they can choose which one they prefer!"

It was not as if the Gu family could not afford it.

Gu Chonghua was startled. "Buy a few?"

To be honest, they had many children. He and his wife controlled the family assets, but now that their youngest son was getting married, they were reluctant to spend extravagantly, for fear that their other children and grandchildren would be unhappy.

They had four sons and a daughter, but they had never bought a house for any of them. In the past, there was no land available, and now that they could buy a house, they already had so many children.

Their youngest son had stayed with them all these years to take care of them. He had farmed with them and helped them rear the cows. Their other three sons had left home to make their own way and had established their own careers and families.

Now he was marrying and establishing his own family. Of course they must show him a little more love.

Clever Gu Jinhang. The moment he saw the old man's expression, he guessed what his grandfather was thinking.

He laughed and said, "Grandfather, the money belongs to you. You control it, and you can give it to whoever you please. We're all grown up now. We don't need to depend on your wealth to live.

"Young Uncle has always been by your side. Now that he's getting married, it's only right that you give him a little more. As for the grandchildren, if you want to give us anything, you can just give it to the younger ones. The rest of us are all grown up. We don't need to depend on the family."

The Gu family children were all very independent. Although they knew that the family was wealthy, they had never considered depending on it for their livelihood.
