He could only endure as this damned woman Chu Qiao continued her complaint.
“Dad, what right does Gu Jianshe have to tell Xiao Wen that the first row seat is his? Even the constitution doesn’t even dare to stipulate this. It’s because Gu Jianshe taught Xiao Wen like this that Xiao Wen felt wronged when he was moved to the second row and ended up fighting with Dabao at school. If Gu Jianshe hadn’t misled the child, this fight wouldn’t have happened, don’t you agree?”
Old Mr. Gu nodded repeatedly, his gaze toward Chu Qiao now filled with appreciation.
Despite her young age, this youngest daughter-in-law was far more sensible than the older one.
“Jianshe, you have disappointed me too much!”
Old Mr. Gu looked at his eldest grandson with heartache.
He had once placed great expectations on him, but time and time again, Gu Jianshe had let him down.
Gu Jianshe was not upright, dishonest, incompetent, lacked responsibility, and didn’t even know how to educate his own child.
How much expectations Old Mr. Gu once had for Gu Jianshe, and how much disappointment Old Mr. Gu had now.
It was as if the shining qualities he once saw in Gu Jianshe had dimmed, leaving only a dark void.
Gu Jianshe’s heart tightened. He endured the pain and begged, “Grandpa, I know I was wrong, I will change it, please give me another chance.”
Chu Qiao didn’t say a word this time.
The fire she had stoked tonight was already strong enough.
And after all, Gu Jianshe was the grandson of the old man, it would be impossible to suddenly make the old man give up on him.
She would just take it slowly. Eventually, Old Mr. Gu would grow tired of Gu Jianshe.
From the beginning to the end, Gu Ye remained silent.
Seeing Gu Jianshe still pleading, he sneered and warned, “Gu Jianshe, teach your son well. If I hear him call Dabao ‘bastard child’ again, I will beat you to death!”
“I will discipline Xiao Wen strictly. Don’t worry, uncle!”
Gu Jianshe endured the humiliation and respectfully made the promise.
Old Mr. Gu waved his hand impatiently, “Everyone can return back!”
Zhu Yuzhen helped up her son and grandson.
Seeing Gu Jianshe’s pitiful appearance with skin and flesh torn, she felt heartbroken and burst into tears, blaming the old man for being so harsh.
With the help of Zhu Yuzhen, Gu Jianshe limped away, his white shirt now dyed into a shirt with patterns, red and white, which looked like a murder scene.
Old Mr. Gu walked up to the Dabao brothers with a kind look in his eyes and said, “Your father is a great hero, and you are descendants of heroes. You should stand up straight and be a man. If anyone says you are a ‘bastard child’, then you can just beat them up. Understand?”
“Yes, Uncle Gu and Auntie also told me so before. I remember!”
Dabao said in a loud voice, standing tall and straight.
Xiaobao did the same, his chest puffed out with a proud expression.
Old Mr. Gu looked at Chu Qiao with an approving look, he became even more satisfied with her, and asked with concern, “Are you still working at Yaozu’s place?”
Chu Qiao nodded, and Old Mr. Gu’s expression darkened.
Although his youngest daughter-in-law was very good, he didn’t like her job.
The dance hall was a chaotic place, he was worried that Chu Qiao would turn bad.
“Can’t you change it into another job? Can’t you teach at school?” Old Mr. Gu said irritably.
“Dad, the salary for teaching is too low. I earn more in one night at the dance hall than I would in a month teaching.” Chu Qiao replied, clearly unwilling.
If she were really twenty-one years old, then she would definitely not go to the dance hall to work. She might have worried about losing herself or being swayed by gossip.
But having already died once, she was confident that she wouldn’t lose her way, and she wasn't afraid of what others might say.
The most important thing for a woman was not to marry a good man, but to earn a lot of money so that she could have confidence and the ability to stand by herself.
So if she wanted to earn money, it didn’t matter where she earned it, as long as the source of the money was proper and legal.
