Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Their family had just moved to the capital, so they certainly needed many things. Second Aunt did not suspect anything when she saw all the things that Zhou Ping had bought.
Zhou Ping laughed. “Those children only know how to play. They’ve all run off!”
Second Aunt smiled. “Now that the children are older, you should make them do some work. It’s hard to bring up children, and you’ve worked so hard to raise those four children. Boys are meant to be used when they grow up.”
Second Aunt was just smiling and making small talk, but when Zhou Ping heard that, she laughed.
“What do those brats know! They’re far inferior to Jinhang, Jinfeng, and Yao Yao. All of them are still schooling and working, and our household expenses are high. They can’t even support themselves. Little Seven and Little Eight are sitting for their university entrance exams next year!”
Second Aunt’s expression stiffened.
She was a smart woman. If anyone else said that, she would just take it as self-deprecating pleasantries.
But when Zhou Ping said it, she did not think so anymore.
She knew Zhou Ping. She had little foresight and liked to take advantage of others.
Actually, everyone in the Gu family was doing pretty well, just that the second son’s family was progressing especially well.
Too bad; her husband and children were capable!
The third son’s family had many children, and their expenses were high. In the past, they were poorer, but that was relative. Now, the third son’s family might not be as rich as them, but they certainly were not in the state that Zhou Ping described.
If their family was doing badly, then other families were destitute.
Zhou Ping’s words gave Second Aunt an ominous feeling.
Zhou Ping asked the servants to help her carry her things to her room. Gu Qingyao, who was standing in the corner of the second floor, witnessed everything clearly.
Time passed swiftly, and in a blink of an eye, a few days had passed.
Third Uncle had started his job in the capital, and Little Seven and Little Eight had been transferred to a school in the capital and were starting their Senior Year.
Third Cousin, Gu Jinlin and Fifth Cousin, Gu Jinxuan were also attending university. They started one year later than the others, so they were still in the middle of their studies.
When Third Uncle was transferred to the capital, he brought Third and Fifth Cousin along so that they could develop further there.
Career achievements were extremely important to men. A year or two did not make a difference. In the past, their family had lived in the provincial capital, so his two sons had taken the exam for the universities over there.
Now that they were in the capital and the entire Gu family was progressing in the capital, after much thought, Third Uncle had decided that the two of them should study at the capital’s universities, even if they had to repeat the entrance examination. That way they could study in a better school.
Fortunately, the Gu boys were all very smart and their grades were good enough. With the Gu family’s status, they managed to gain direct entry into the school.
The days passed, and in that way, a month went by. It was autumn again, and the weather in the capital grew cooler.
The cold winter season would arrive soon.
Gu Qingyao’s pregnancy was very stable now. She and Mo Beihan shuttled between the Mo house and the Gu house, and sometimes they went over to the Qiao house for some fun.
Today, they were staying at the Mo house.
Ever since Little Seven and Little Eight had moved to the capital, they had begun attending school here. After Gu Qingyao moved to the Mo house, the two of them came over frequently. In fact, they came over almost every day to do homework with Mu Mu and the others.
Gu Qingyao looked at them, then walked over to bring them a plate of fruits.
“Little Seven! How is Third Uncle’s job going? Has your family been assigned a house?”
