Chapter 40: The Cause of the Matter
Gu Wentao was actually quite envious of the interaction between their father and son.
Gu Dechun is not a person who talks much, his words are probably left in class, and after returning home, he rarely communicates with his family.
On weekdays, he doesn't feel what father's love is.
That is, this time he decided to stay in Kyoto, and after knowing that Zhou Zizhen gave him one hundred and fifty yuan for living expenses, before leaving, he quietly gave him a thousand yuan, so that he could use it when he had an emergency or made friends, and if it was not enough, he would call him.
Gu Dechun didn't have any money in his hands, how could Gu Wentao not know that his salary was originally from Zhou Zizhen and had never been given to him. On weekdays, in addition to buying books or socializing with others, he needs money, and he can only receive it by reporting directly to Zhou Zizhen.
Such a person, he saved a thousand yuan for himself, how could he not be moved, and at the same time doubt the origin of this money?
He asked his doubts right then.
Gu Dechun smiled very brightly at Gu Wentao silently for the first time, and said: "I handed over my salary, but I can still write papers, engage in academics, research funds, manuscript fees, etc., and I have never stopped." I keep the money to help poor students or go out for a drink with friends.
Son, I've handed over all my family to you, and if you sell me, you want a tip in the future, but you won't have a coffer! ”
That was when he was so big and closest to Gu Dechun.
He was satisfied.
However, looking at the interaction between his uncle and Brother Zhiyuan now, he suddenly realized that he actually longed for more fatherly love.
Zhou Zizhong is not a stubborn and inflexible person, and besides, this house will be transferred to Gu Wentao in a few days, what does he want to do, he, as an uncle, can only put forward opinions on the side and restrain him, and the others don't want to care too much.
He can ask Gu Wentao to rent out the basement, and he can also help ask if there are any reliable students at school, but he wants to know why he is so anxious for quick success.
If he is really a child who sees money and doesn't know what to call it, then even if he looks away, their Zhou family has a selfish utilitarian element, it's a big deal, and it will be far better in the future.
"Wen Tao, my uncle doesn't stop you from renting a house, and he has no right to stop you. However, as your elder, I still want to know, why do you want to rent out your house so actively to earn money?
As far as I know, even if Zhou Zizhen wants to realize her job transfer through you, but the tiger poison does not eat children, she shouldn't even deduct the living expenses that should be given to you on the face, right?
Even if she really wants to do this, Gu Dechun should make a voice no matter how much she is in the bag! ”
Gu Wentao looked at Zhou Zizhong and said with anger, and said busily: "No, no, my mother gave me living expenses, and my father also quietly gave me a pocket money, I don't want to rent out the house in a hurry because of this." ”
Zhou Zizhong straightened his face and said in a serious voice: "Then what are you doing in such a hurry to rent a house and go out?" ”
Gu Wentao turned his head to ask Zhou Zhiyuan for help, and Zhou Zhiyuan shrugged his shoulders and gave a helpless expression.
Gu Wentao knew that if he didn't say why, he was afraid that Zhou Zizhong would not let him enter the house in the future, so he lowered his head in frustration and explained: "I came to Kyoto to study this time, but something happened in Ishihara City, I had a disagreement with my mother, and I didn't want to continue to quarrel, and in the end, the mother-son relationship was gone." ”
When Zhou Zizhong heard that there was a reason for this, his tense emotions just now suddenly relaxed, and he became curious again, what could make Gu Wentao, such a good baby, unable to maintain even filial piety.
He continued to keep his face strained and pretended to be serious, "What's the matter?" Is it serious? ”
Zhou Zhiyuan was on the side, and he also pricked up his ears, feeling that it was not enough to listen to it here in the kitchen, so he simply dragged the chair and moved next to Zhou Zizhong and Gu Wentao, his eyes full of undisguised gossip.
Gu Wentao knew that he would not be able to pass the test by being so vague, and his intuition told him that if he told the truth, he might be able to get foreign aid, and then he would tell the story.
“…… That's the way it is.
Zeng Yirou was forced by my mother to transfer schools and leave Ishihara City because I pulled her as a dance partner.
I listened to those words outside the door, and several times wondered if it was my real mother, if someone had transferred it.
Unfortunately, facts are facts.
Zeng Yirou's mother came to the school that afternoon to go through the transfer procedures, and I found her and wanted to tell her, hoping to help.
But I was sneered at and asked me what I could help and what I could help, but I was afraid of me, so I didn't help, but Zeng Yirou couldn't even study.
During this time, I was in Ishihara City, and I wanted to do something, only to find that I was restricted by my mother everywhere, as if I had a slight wind and grass, someone would tell her, and someone would be unlucky.
So, I thought about it, it's a good year to come to Kyoto for the Chinese New Year, and my uncle often mentioned to me that I wanted to study in Kyoto.
I might as well just stay here and study.
In this way, the emperor is far away, my mother can't know my whereabouts, and besides, she is still a little afraid of my uncle, and I am not afraid that she will ask my uncle what I have done. ”
"This is indeed something that Zhou Zizhen can do," Zhou Zizhong sympathized with Gu Wentao in his heart, and already relented and wanted to help, "However, after you talked for a long time, I just heard that you repented, and I didn't hear that this has anything to do with you renting out a house?" ”
The beginning of the matter has already begun, the cause is said, and the words after that are easy to say.
Gu Wentao continued seriously: "Uncle, I want to see if I can help Zeng Yirou and her mother.
It was only after this incident that I learned from others that she was the only one left in the Rou family to rely on her mother.
Two women live in this society, and with my mother, it will definitely be very difficult to be forced to go to a strange place to start over.
I want to see if I can sponsor Zeng Yirou to study, which can be regarded as my own small force. ”
Zhou Zizhong rolled his eyes and said angrily: "People disdained your help at the beginning, and now they will suddenly accept your food?!" It's so easy to think about! ”
Gu Wentao looked at Zhou Zizhong in confusion and said, "Then, uncle, what do you say you should do?" That's all I can do, I don't know what I can do besides that. ”
Zhou Zizhong was also suddenly asked, but he couldn't drop his vest in front of his nephew, so he pretended to be profound: "This matter still has to be considered in the long run." You can find each other, ask them what they mean, and it's never too late to make a decision. ”
