264 Not important
Lu Zheng had been joking when he said that he was a kid and wanted to get a red packet. He didn’t expect Grandpa and Grandma Gu to really prepare a red packet for him.
“You’re old Xiao’s grandson, so you’re my grandson! Take it!” There was no room for rejection.
Lu Zheng accepted the red packet, his hands trembling.
He looked at grandma Gu and thought of his own grandmother.
He was someone with a grandmother, but he had not enjoyed her love for a single day.
In the beginning, his grandmother had despised his mother for being a merchant’s daughter and had only agreed to his parents ‘marriage as a last resort.
His mother had married into the Lu family, and his grandmother had made things difficult for his mother in every way possible. Even though he had never seen it with his own eyes, even though he had grown up and his mother had passed away many years ago, he could still hear all kinds of words in the manor about his grandmother not liking his mother.
His grandmother looked down on his mother, and even more so on the two children his mother gave birth to.
If his sister had not been smart and sensible, planning for him early on, who knew what kind of marriage his grandmother and stepmother had arranged for her?
When his sister got married, he was only 11 years old. Not long after, he was criticized by an eminent monk found by his stepmother. He was the nemesis of his grandmother, causing both his and his grandmother’s health to be poor. Therefore, his muddled father sent him to the ancestral house for the sake of his mother and son’s safety.
He had stayed there for four years, and his grandmother’s health had improved. This further confirmed the monk’s words that he had been completely abandoned by the Lu family.
Did he hate his grandmother?
In fact, he hated her. If his grandmother had not rubbed his mother and helped Madame Lin, how could his mother have passed away? How could the Lin clan enter the sect?
However, he hated his father even more.
One day, he would make his father kneel in front of his mother’s grave and admit his mistake.
He did not do it in his previous life because his father had died long ago. In this life, he would definitely do it.
……
At night, Gu Nian cooked the base of the hotpot and invited the Yang family, grandma Xiao, and Lu Zheng to eat together.
Lu Zheng was no longer surprised by Gu Nian’s endless stream of delicacies. This was not the Gu Nian from his previous life. He was certain that second uncle Gu and aunt Lian were not his Xin ‘er’s parents.
He didn’t bother to guess where they came from. He only needed to know that the three of them were treating Gu Xin sincerely, just as he had requested.
Where did it come from?
How did he replace the original three people?
To him, it was not important.
“What? Father, what did you say? Second brother wants us to sell this?” When Zhang Shi heard uncle Gu’s words, she stood up in surprise and interrupted Lu Zheng’s thoughts.
“Wife, why are you so excited? Selling things is not as easy as you think. When the time comes, you must follow my footsteps and listen to me. Only then can we make money, understand?” Uncle Gu pulled her to sit down.
“Of course! I’ve always listened to you!” Zhang Shi was overjoyed, and looked at Gu shouxin and Cai Xiaolian in disbelief.”Second brother, sister-in-law, are you really giving it to us?”
“Aunt, I did this, so I have the final say. You have to promise me one thing before I give it to you. Otherwise, I’ll only give it to my uncle!” Gu Nian said.
“Aiyo, niannian, look at you, your aunt has always liked you the most! You’re handsome and sweet-tongued, I’ll agree to anything you say!” Zhang Shi was observant enough to see through Gu Nian’s actions. She smiled widely at Gu Nian.
