Chapter 232 exhort

   The uncle and nephew drank until dark, and Second Uncle Gu had something on his mind, so he quickly got drunk and put him to sleep.

  Gu Lei came out and told the boy, "Second uncle is thirsty at night and needs to get up to drink water, so wake up."

   "Don't worry, young master, the servant is watching."

   "Take good care of the second uncle, and your reward is indispensable."

   "Yes, thank you Eldest Young Master for still being willing to believe in my second master. The second master often drank alcohol these days and secretly went to the ancestral hall to cry at night. He cried and said, Mother, I was wrong. Brother, I have come to admit my mistake..."

  The boy has served him personally for many years, wiping away his tears.

  Gu Lei patted his shoulder and let out a long sigh.

  The pain of losing a loved one is not just him and grandpa, everyone in the family needs time to heal.

  Second Uncle is also in pain. Third Uncle and his father exchanged their own lives for his, but he and Second Aunt made a big mistake. Second Uncle is a loyal person, so it is impossible not to feel uncomfortable.

  The more I don’t talk about it, the more uncomfortable I feel.

   I remember that the elder brother and the third uncle were very supportive of the second uncle in the past, and they were relieved to hand over the family property to him to manage, and they also took care of him in the officialdom and gave him opportunities.

  In fact, the three brothers have a very close relationship. The second uncle looks after the father and the third uncle, and fights wherever they point.

  The death of his father and third uncle was not only sad for his grandfather and himself, but also for his second uncle. His most trusted backer and brother were gone.

   On the way back, Gu Lei's servant saw that the young master kept silent, "Young master, are you going to let the second master go like this? Could it be that he deliberately sold out?"

   "No, the second uncle has a honest and honest personality, and he is soft-hearted and less decisive. My father told me that he can be trusted and used with confidence, but he cannot be the master of the house. If he is not the master of the city, there will be trouble."

   "Actually, grandpa doesn't value him. If he valued his official position and got up early, he wouldn't be idle in managing general affairs when he was in the capital. He can't go to other places, and the Ministry of Industry can still fight."

Compared with money, the aristocratic family values ​​power and official position. Uncle Gu used to work in the Ministry of Industry and was a sixth-rank official. He has not been promoted for many years. The first time he did a good job, Shangfeng promoted him to an official position, but he was beaten back by Grandpa Gu.

  The main reason is that his personality is not decisive enough and the city is not enough. Once the official position is high, something will happen. Grandpa Gu is still very accurate in judging people.

  He is conscientious and down-to-earth in doing things, and can be used, but he can't make decisions, let alone play tricks.

  In the past, Gu Boss and Gu Lao San protected him. The second child was willing to work and was not afraid of suffering. He was a down-to-earth person. The two brothers loved him.

  Here came Linqi, the second son lost his backbone, his brother was gone, and he was left alone. His wife and he were not of the same mind, and she had to go out to make money and ruin his reputation.

  Father didn't value him at first, looked down on him, had no backbone, and had a soft temper.

  The brothers who grew up together are gone, and there is no one to talk to and drink, and I feel even more lonely and depressed.

  Gu Lei saw that the lights in Grandpa’s room were still on, so he went in to have a look.

   "I'm back, it's so late, but what's the matter?"

  Grandpa Gu was reading and couldn't fall asleep.

   "I came back early. I had a drink with my second uncle. My second uncle cried and apologized to me."

   "Hey, things without bones can't be put on the table."

  Grandpa Gu has a domineering personality. He was also an outstanding person when he was young. He doesn't like such a soft-tempered person, even if this is his own son.

  Gu Lei poured a glass of warm water for Grandpa.

"Grandpa, I was very angry at first. In fact, this matter is also my fault. It can't be all the second uncle's fault. It was me who said that all the money was with Yu'er, and I didn't. It was originally an excuse, but the second aunt really dared to ask for money. And I didn't handle things well."

   "One more thing. After all, my second uncle came here to work hard to manage the property. The property of Brother Xin and I is remarkable. There are no mistakes or omissions in the accounts and it is profitable. Speaking of the root, my second uncle has done his best. I should be grateful."

"My second aunt is at fault for what happened to my second uncle, but the crime is not fatal. My second aunt is also a mother. She knows what to do. I can't rely entirely on my second uncle. It doesn't matter if I am partial to my family. It doesn't matter if the responsibility is shirked on the second aunt, I think the second uncle can use it."

  Grandpa Gu calmed down, and reached out to stroke his grandson's head.

   "I am very pleased that you have grown up and looked at problems more objectively."

  Looking at the eldest grandson, I feel very proud in my heart, put aside prejudices and personal grievances, and analyze objectively and calmly. From the perspective of the overall situation, I am still willing to reuse the second child, and I can see that the eldest grandson is becoming more and more like the boss, able to support the Gu family.

   "Grandpa, don't keep being cold-faced to my second uncle. My second uncle often goes to the ancestral hall to cry."

"The blisters on his feet came out by himself. My own wife can't control it. What else can I expect from him? Your father and your third uncle used to protect him and **** him. I don't say anything. They are brothers and sisters." Thick, I can't stop it."

  Grandpa Gu's attitude is cold.

   "But now that the Gu family is in turmoil, he has made so many mistakes when he is the master of the family. You can't blame me for being partial and not giving him a chance. I can't understand this mess in the family. Don't blame me for not considering him as the head of the family."

  Grandpa Gu snorted coldly.

"Grandpa, don't worry, with me here, I will support the family and everything will be fine. My uncles all supported me and helped me a lot to appease the clan. The brothers in the clan are all toward me and willing to listen For me, there are difficulties, but it is much better than when I first came here. Don't worry too much."

  Gu Lei has become more mature and stable, and things need to be done little by little.

   "Your second uncle's general affairs and financial management skills are quite remarkable. He can use it, but you have to keep an eye on him. He can't be a family, he is easy to be abducted, and his ears are soft."

   "Yes, I made a note, you go to bed early."

   "Tomorrow, I will bring a gift to the Li family to make amends. It's a disgusting thing, and I can't die. Take the blue map in the warehouse to Yu'er. She likes to draw. Give it to her. I will count it as my old man to make amends for her."

  Grandpa Gu just lay down.

  The painting that Grandpa Gu mentioned is a calligraphy and painting by a famous artist, which is worth thousands of gold. It is very rare. It was once bought by Grandpa Gu to make his wife happy.

  I am still willing to take it out and give it to my granddaughter-in-law.

   "Really, are you willing?"

   Gu Lei pursed his lips and smiled.

   "I have nothing to part with, don't underestimate people, your grandmother knows it and is willing to give it to Yu'er, I finally married a satisfied granddaughter-in-law, so nothing can go wrong."

   "Also, don't be in a hurry to have a baby when you become a relative. Yu'er is not old enough. I promised you, Grandpa Li, that there will be time for the child to have another child when the child is eighteen. Remember that the clan's wife is far more important than a child."

   "Don't worry, I remember, later on, my aunt and I will avoid Zitang and come back. We must not put Yu'er in danger."

  Gu Lei listened in his heart.

   "Do you know about the Yang family, don't be like the Yang family boy, stupid, our family can't do this, or I'll break your leg."

  Grandpa Gu overbearingly warned his grandson.

   "Yes, grandson will keep it in mind."

  Gu Lei nodded immediately.
