“Jinxuan, Jinxuan, stop!”
Grandma Zhou raced out and dragged Gu Jinxuan out from among the crowd. “Jinxuan, go and release your oldest uncle and second uncle now. Quick…”
A mocking look flashed across Gu Jinxuan’s eyes. He pushed Grandma Zhou’s hand away. “Grandma, I don’t have the authority to do that. They’ve committed crimes, so they should be punished.”
“What do you mean you don’t have the authority? You’re the Gu family’s grandson; what do you mean you can’t do it? Everyone knows how huge the Gu family fortune is. If you just say the word, they won’t dare to disobey you.”
Gu Jinxuan said, “I’m very sorry, Grandma, but I cannot do that. If I do that, I will end up like my mother. The Gu family will drive me out.
“Noble families are governed very strictly. I cannot break the rules, or I will have to bear the consequences.”
“Rubbish!” Grandma Zhou was so angry that she became rude. “You’re the Gu family’s grandchild. How can they drive you away? You
“Tm not the only grandson in the Gu family. The Gu family has many grandsons. Besides, my second uncle is in charge of the family, and my second cousin and oldest cousin are his successors. Our branch of the family is nothing. We only get by because of what little standing we have in the family. But if I
cause them trouble and don’t help them, I will certainly be driven away, like my mother.”
Grandma Zhou did not believe him. To her, grandsons were the most precious. How could they be unwanted?
“Nonsense, you’re the Gu family’s grandson. Their biological grandson. How could the Gu family possibly not want you?”
“Second Master, Fifth Master has just brought Third Madam to the Zhou House. He left publicly in front of the entire village. He even told everyone nearby about Third Madam’s divorce. But the truth is that he didn’t leave. He’s just secretly observing Third Madam’ situation.”
“Did he try to help her?”
“No, he’s just observing.”
Gu Jinhang smiled when he heard that. True enough, this fellow was not overly vicious. Gu Jinhang guessed that Gu Jinxuan wanted to see how Zhou Ping would respond to being tormented.
“Have things been arranged for the third son of the Zhou family?”
“Yes, everything is arranged. When the New Year is over, and spring begins, they will have land.”
Gu Jinhang nodded. He instructed them to continue keeping watch, then he hung up.
Of the Zhou family’s three sons, the two older ones were already in prison. But not the third son and his family.
The third son’s family lived like slaves in the Zhou house. They labored for the Zhou family but had never done anything wrong, This time, Gu Jinxuan had requested that Third Son and his family be sent away so that they could make a clean break from that family.
Every family probably had its black sheep, but naturally, there would also be better members of the family. He was not like the oldest and second sons who were greedy and lazy. Before Zhou Ping had been able to provide them with sufficient money, this family also could not survive..
