But at the Gu house today, he realized that if he did not work hard and keep up with these people, he would never have a chance to experience such things.
Besides, he only had an opportunity to make friends with these children because his elder sister had insisted on marrying Li Qinglang.
If his elder sister married a family like the Wangs, he could at most get some food from the Wang family and even then, Old Madam Wang would mock him.
Han Chuanzong was brainwashed completely after a day at the Gu house.
He had actually been very naive. After all, he had grown up in a village and parents like Father and Mother Han practically taught him nothing.
So he was very naive, and he had taken everything for granted and not thought about it too much. He only knew how to ask his elder sister for things and believed every good thing in the family belonged to him.
But after going to the Gu house and meeting Gu Ziang and the others, he understood that everything he had in the past was worthless.
What the Han family could give him was far too little.
The Gu family was so rich, and the family members were still earning money, even the old folks.
But the Han family was so poor, and only Elder Brother and Sister-in-law worked in the fields.
Li Qinglang was right. The villagers had worked in the fields for so many years, yet no one could afford a car…
Han Chuanzong looked at Han Shu. “Elder Brother, go and look for a job in the city! I want to live in the city. Then I can join you.”
Mother Han, who had never left her son before, immediately refused. “No. Your elder brother has to stay home and work. He has to work in the fields, or what will we eat next year? Those are our rations. We cannot be careless.
“Chuanzong! You’ve never been away from home. I will worry if you move out. Unless I follow to take care of you!”
Han Chuanzong frowned. “There’s not much left to do in the fields. Why can’t you and Father do it? I’m not a child; why can’t I leave you? I don’t need you to take care of me. Elder Brother and Sister-in-law will take care of me as well.”
No one took care of the Gu children. He had spent a day at the Gu house and had not seen any of the adults. They could do everything themselves; the adults did not worry about them at all.
But Father and Mother Han still refused to consent. They were so old and had not worked in the fields for so many years. How could they go to work?
But Han Chuanzong was unwilling.
He knew that he could only go to the city if Elder Brother and Sister-in-law went to the city to work. It took money to live in the city. He knew that.
If Elder Brother and Sister-in-law had money, then he would have money too.
Gu Ziang was right. If he had no money, he had to think of ways to get someone to earn money. In his family, his elder brother and sister-in-law could earn money if they left.
“I don’t care. In any case, I must live in the city. I don’t want to live in the village. Let Elder Brother and Sister-in-law go to the city to earn money. I want to follow them.”
He looked at Han Jing. “After you graduate, you have to earn money for me too. I want to go to the best schools in the city. I want to fly a plane and drive a tank. Gu Ziang promised me. As long as I study hard, he’ll bring me.”
Ultimately, he was a product of the Han family. Although the Gu children had brainwashed him, his innate acquisitiveness had not changed.
He still boldly asked his elder brother and sister to earn money for him.
But neither Han Jing nor Han Shu minded. Even Wang Xiaoqin did not mind.
For Han Chuanzong to change so much in one day was already remarkable.
As long as Wang Xiaoqin could go to the city to look for a job, she did not mind supporting her brother-in-law. Anyway, they had to support him even if she remained at home.
