There were many people in the Gu family. The kids in the younger generation were gradually growing up and would work in the future. Because of themselves, Gu Chonghua and Wen Ruyu had affected their children too greatly during this lifetime, and they were frightened.
They would rather invest later than take another risk and negatively influence their children’s job prospects.
Gu Qingyao replied with a smile, “Grandma, if you wish to invest, there shouldn’t be any problem now. I saw that people have already begun doing businesses, but there’s just not many of them.
“But opportunities will always be in the hands of few. At this time, those who make investments first will definitely have an advantage, but because everything has yet to really develop, the market is not big yet.”
Gu Qingyao looked at Wen Ruyu with a smile. “Grandma, you don’t need to worry about Father and Mother’s marriage. It’s not like we are young couples. We have our own lives and don’t need you all to subsidize us. Furthermore, your inheritance is not solely Father’s. I still have my uncles and older cousins!”
Wen Ruyu disagreed quickly, “So what? Your father stayed by our side the longest and has always been taking care of us in our hometown. We have delayed him all these years, unlike the others who have already brought their wives and children to lead a free life outside.
“Now, all of them are successful and have a house and a job, but what about your father? All these years, he did his best to take care of both of us. Now that the conditions permit, so what if I give him a greater share of my inheritance?”
Gu Qingyao felt like laughing. Perhaps fortune favors fools!
She really wished to tell Grandma that their family really did not need the Gu family’s financial aid and that they would definitely be the wealthiest among all the relatives!
No matter what Gu Qingyao said, Gu Chonghua and Wen Ruyu disagreed with not helping Gu Yunshen prepare his betrothal gift. They had five children, and the three oldest ones had long since lived outside and were doing pretty well at work. Their second son, especially, was progressing greatly and even his kids had a promising future too.
All these years in their hometown in the countryside, it had always been Gu Yunshen and Gu Yunshuang who stayed by their side to take care of them. The elderly couple were ultimately most worried about these two people. Hence, they would definitely give Gu Yunshen and Gu Yunshuang a greater portion of the Gu family’s assets.
Gu Qingyao thought for a moment and said, “It’s not a bad time to start investing now. Grandma, if you really want to do something, you can go ahead without worrying. As long as you don’t go against the law, there won’t be any problems.
“Actually, many people are already thinking of starting their own businesses. Most of those that you see outside are still ordinary citizens who are selling their own harvests, but, Grandma, look at those who are selling clothes. Those are basically items from the south. I heard that there are many commercial products in the south now! All sorts of clothes and shoes and many home appliances. If we bring these into the capital, they would be very valuable.”
Wen Ruyu let out a laugh. “In that case, Yao Yao, you also feel that we can invest now? Ah, I can be rest assured now. I have to calculate well and strive to prepare some businesses for your father.”
Gu Chonghua added, “Your grandma is right. We indeed need to prepare more things for your father. Your mother did not have it easy throughout the years, too. Now that your family can finally reunite, we must show our sincerity and make everyone happy.”
