Chapter 174 Only You Can Rely on Yourself

To put it more bluntly, I just want him to give me money and things.

Before Gu Xiangwen came back, he was still thinking enthusiastically that now that he had a job and a good salary, he could be filial to his parents in the future and support his brothers and sisters when he had the opportunity to make everyone's life easier.

But when he came back now, he found that his family did not welcome him back to the city.

Even if he walked out now, only this sister would chase him out, just to ask for some pocket money from him.

Gu Xiangwen gave up his desire to be filial and decided to give his parents ten yuan a month as alimony and forget about anything else.

His future, his marriage, his happiness, it is already foreseeable that his parents, brothers and sisters will not help, they all have to be created by himself.

None of his parents, siblings, could be relied upon.

Gu Xiangqing looked at the back of her third brother striding away, and suddenly felt a little uncomfortable.

Although she is the youngest among her brothers and sisters, she also understands that the home is narrow and small, and there are so many people living in it, and no one really wants to add anyone else in.

Therefore, when they heard that the third brother said that he had returned to the city, everyone's first reaction was that there was another person crowded into the house, and the expressions on their faces were naturally not very good.

If they had known that the third brother had found a job, didn't have to live at home, and could get good things back, they would definitely not have treated him like this.

Third brother seems to be angry today. When he comes back next time, she will comfort him. I hope he doesn't mind!

Gu Xiangqing walked home unhappy.

As soon as she returned, Gu's mother asked her, "Xiaoqing, what did your third brother tell you?"

Gu Xiangqing replied impatiently: "I didn't say anything. She seemed to be cold-hearted towards us."

Everyone in the room was silent.

There was only the sound of three children chewing apples.

Gu Xiangqing saw that all three children had eaten apples. She also took one, wiped it on her clothes, and opened her mouth to eat.

As soon as she ate it, Gu Xiangqing's eyes lit up, "Mom, this apple is delicious. Try it quickly."

Gu Xiangqing stuffed the apple into Gu's mother's mouth.

Mother Gu tried to take a bite. It was really sweet and crispy, so delicious!

She said in a matter-of-fact manner: "I'll ask your third brother to bring more next time."

As the first son of the Gu family, the second son relies on his parents to pamper him and will rely on him in the future. His wife also gave birth to three sons in a row.

He said extremely shamelessly: "Mom, our family is not divided, and you still have to ask the third child to hand over his salary."

That's right! He just wanted to be a vampire and suck all the blood of his younger brothers and sisters down there to feed their family.

Gu Xiangrong, the seventh child who had just entered the third year of high school, heard a trace of contempt and disgust in his eyes when the second child said this.

Gu Xiangrong asked Gu's mother, "Mom, the third brother is almost three years old. Didn't you and dad help him save a wife?"

When Gu's mother heard this, she immediately exploded, "I haven't seen his money for so many years. Where can I get the money to help him save his wife's book?"

Gu Xiangrong added: "Then he finally returned to the city and found a job. He also needs to save some money for his wife. Don't expect the third brother to hand over his salary in the future."

Gu Xiangqian, the second child, was not happy when he heard this, "Seventh brother, stop talking nonsense here. If your third brother's money is in the hands of your parents, won't you benefit from it?"

Gu Xiangrong smiled coldly, looked back at him and said, "Second brother, I think you are the one who wants to benefit most, right? Whenever there are some good things in our family, when is it that your family of five doesn't grab the most and occupy the most? We It’s good to have some.”

The second child became angry and glared at the seventh child and shouted angrily: "You street boy, what are you talking about? If I don't beat you for a day, you will be itchy, right?"

Gu Xiangrong also stood up and looked at him without fear, "Come on, come here if you have the guts. Do you think I am still the kid you bullied? It just so happens that today we will punish you for beating me up in the past." Do the math, whoever is a coward is a turtle egg."

"Street boy, you're looking for death!"

The second child of the Gu family was so angry that smoke was coming out of his nostrils, and he wanted to rush towards the seventh child.

When Father Gu saw that his two sons were about to fight, he immediately stood up and slapped the table, "You two think I'm dead, right?"

In their family, Gu's father is the only official employee. He is the backbone of the family, the head of the family, and the most authoritative presence in the family.

When he roared, the second and seventh children of the Gu family instantly calmed down and did not dare to say anything again.

The first child born to Father Gu and Mother Gu was a daughter, and the second was a son.

At that time, the children were still young, Gu's father was a regular worker, and Gu's mother was also doing part-time jobs, so her life was pretty good.

Naturally, the couple doted on their first son, the second son, and gave him whatever he asked for. This also fostered the second son's selfish and arrogant character.

Later, as Gu's mother gave birth to more and more children, even if her parents doted on the second child, it was impossible for her to only give him the things in the house.

The second eldest child, Gu Xiangqian, has developed a bad habit of grabbing food from his younger brothers and sisters. Gu Fu, Gu's mother, can only say a few words, but never strictly disciplines him.

The character of the second oldest child in the Gu family has completely changed.

Now he is already in his early thirties. With the help of his parents, he married a wife and gave birth to three sons. He also spends three days fishing and four days drying nets. No one has a serious job and he is not willing to endure hardship. When I'm tired, I just sit at home waiting for something to eat and drink.

Anyway, he just has no money, and he is still living with his family.

He also said righteously that since he was the eldest among his sons, he would be the one to take care of his parents in the future, and everything his parents had would naturally belong to him.

Most of the family's resources are allocated to the second eldest member of the Gu family, while the younger brothers and sisters below are living in the cracks.

Fortunately, this is in the city. No matter how poor they are, parents and parents will let their children go to school, so that they can become educated and enter the workplace through recruitment.

Now Lao Qi is in his third year of high school and will graduate in the blink of an eye. If he is lucky, he might be able to find a job in the city.

But if he is unlucky, there are still quotas for going to the countryside in 1975, and he might have to go to the countryside again to become an educated youth.

If there is a college entrance examination at this time, and Lao Qi works hard and gets good grades, he will definitely be able to pass it.

But now that he has not taken the college entrance examination, Gu Xiangrong, the seventh child, has begun to worry about his future.

Recently, he has also been asking around where to recruit workers.

If he met someone who was recruiting workers, he would go directly to the factory and go to work, thus avoiding the fate of going to the countryside to become an educated youth.

With his family so poor and his parents incompetent, the only person he can rely on is himself.
