Seeing the look in his son's eyes, Uncle Gong Jian realized that he had spoken too hastily and omitted too many words for his son to understand. So he simply started from the beginning: "Didn't you tell me at noon that our family can
By taking advantage of Gong Jian's family's good reputation in the village and their influence in the town, and with careful planning, we can earn a lot of benefits for our family."
Uncle Gong Jian's reminder made Gong Yaozu think of it. Indeed, it was true. He did mention this matter when he and his father were eating haphazardly in the kitchen at noon.
After all, this was a matter related to his own interests. Gong Yaozu could not care about the pain in his body for the time being. He struggled to lift himself up from the bed with his arms, leaned against the head of the bed, and immediately turned around.
He asked Uncle Gong Jian: "Dad, please tell me carefully what is going on."
Seeing that his son had gained some energy, Uncle Gong Jian immediately talked about what happened in Gong Jian's courtyard just now. He even emphasized that Gong Jian's family had obviously moved away.
I will never go back to the village again.
After hearing Uncle Gong Jian's narration, Gong Yaozu also fell into deep thought. He never expected that Gong Jian's family would move out of the village so suddenly and leave like this, completely gone.
Jing, he didn’t leave any message for them at all. This was obviously because he was afraid that his family would come to visit their home again.
Seeing that his youngest son was silent, Uncle Gong Jian was already urging him anxiously: "Yao Zu, what do you think we should do about this? If you ask me, your uncle's family are all evil-hearted."
The more he talked about it, the angrier he became: "It's okay if you leave, don't blame us if anything happens in the future. Don't blame me for being unjust if they are so unkind. After today, I will go to the village to talk about this brother."
I don’t recognize it yet.”
Uncle Gong Jian's calculation is this. In his eyes, his youngest son Gong Yaozu will become an official sooner or later. By then, he believes that everyone will come forward to flatter him with a shy face. Hum,
By that time, even if Gong Jian and his family returned to the village and knelt at his feet, he would not even bother to take a look.
But what his son Gong Yaozu thought was much more practical than what his father thought. He knew how wealthy Gong Jian's family was, and he even knew how influential Gong Jian was in the town.
.
After much thought, Gong Yaozu felt that his family should hug Gong Jian's family tightly now so that he could take advantage. In the few months since he returned to the village, he had come to understand that the life at home was real.
It's too bad. If nothing else, Gong Yaozu has had enough of the simple meals he has had in the past few months.
No matter whether he can be an official in the future, make his family rich, or change his family, what Gong Yaozu thinks more about now is that he must live a good life now, eat good food, wear silks and satins, and let other people enjoy his life.
He looked at himself with envy. As for how to achieve this goal quickly, of course in his mind, this was only possible by using the Gong Jian family.
After thinking for a moment, Gong Yaozu suddenly asked: "Dad, you said Gong Jian's family moved from the village, where would they move to?"
And over there, he was thinking that when his son became a high-ranking official, Gong Jian and his family would crawl at his feet, begging him to listen. Hearing his son's question, he woke up from his sweet dream.
When he woke up, when he heard his son's question, he instinctively replied: "Move wherever you like, I don't care where they go."
Seeing Uncle Gong Jian like this, Gong Yaozu was full of dissatisfaction: Why is this old man so unpredictable? He didn't know how to get close to such a good relative, and he was still talking nonsense here. But he clearly said so
But he didn't dare to say it directly. If he said it directly, he would be afraid that his father's slap would fall on him again. He just felt a little better, but he couldn't ask for trouble anymore, so he changed
asked in a tone of voice.
"Dad, you said you were going to the village chief to get some information. Can the village chief tell you where Gong Jian's family has moved?"
At this time, Uncle Gong Jian had also come out of the condescending feeling just now. When his son asked him again, he did not talk casually this time, but thought carefully for a long time, and then he was dejected.
said.
"It's impossible. Before, I went to the village chief to get close to him. I just wanted to get some news about Gong Jian's family. Maybe the old village chief's mouth is like a clam shell, and he can't reveal any information."
Of course, Uncle Gong Jian's previous efforts were to enter Gong Jian's family legitimately. But on the surface, everyone still cared about the whereabouts of Gong Jian and his family. Uncle Gong Jian had no idea how worried his family was about the safety of his brothers and family members.
Save your words and emphasize this point many times. Not to mention whether it convinced the old village chief, it just made him indestructible.
But even so, the old village chief did not reveal any useful information about Gong Jian's family. Not to mention telling him that Gong Jian's family had moved away, and the key to the small courtyard was in the hands of the village chief himself.
.
Now thinking about the silent old village chief at that time, Uncle Gong Jian felt depressed for a while. The village chief and Gong Jian's family were in the same group, and they were not good friends.
Gong Yaozu was a little disappointed. He didn't expect that his father would be like this in the village. Now he was asked to go to the village chief to get some information, but there was nothing he could do. But soon, Gong Yaozu cheered up again, and he had a fighting spirit.
He said to Uncle Gong Jian proudly.
"Dad, don't give up so early. We will still live a good life through Gong Jian's family in the future. No matter what, no one can deny that our family is so close to their family. Gong Jian and the others want to take it so lightly.
It's impossible to get rid of us easily."
After hearing what his son said, Uncle Gong Jian immediately became energetic and nodded in agreement. In any case, he still knew in his heart that it was impossible to make a fortune solely relying on the few people in his family, at least.
This is the situation now.
As for waiting for Yaozu to become a high official, that is of course a matter in the future. This does not prevent him from trying to steal Gong Jian's family now, and it will not be a problem to trample Gong Jian's family under his feet when his own family is in trouble.
But it was still the same old problem. Uncle Gong Jian couldn't help but say: "Yaozu, I know, you want our family to live a better life now." (To be continued)
