Mr. Gu had a sullen face and sat on the chair in the main room.

He snapped: "Kneel down!"

Gu Laoer instantly knelt on the ground, his face pale.

Gu Yunhong was frightened when he saw his father kneeling down, so he also knelt down.

Seeing his son and grandson kneeling down, Mr. Gu stopped talking, and the room suddenly became eerily quiet.

Time passed like this, Gu Laoer was feeling better, but Gu Yunhong was weak and could no longer hold on, and cold sweat broke out on his forehead.

Gu Laoer felt sorry for his son. Looking at Mr. Gu's dark face, he couldn't help but said: "Dad, this is all my fault. Don't blame Yunhong."

"Oh, where did you go wrong?" Mr. Gu sneered, not calming down at all.

Gu Laoer's voice trembled: "Dad, it's my fault. I shouldn't have told my family that Yunhong won the lottery this time because I conveyed the news incorrectly."

"If it weren't for my nonsense, I wouldn't have caused such a big misunderstanding. Mrs. Wu told me, and our family has been greatly embarrassed this time."

"But Dad, I really didn't mean it. I also said at the time that Yun Hong was only 70% or 80% sure that he would hit the target. Who knew, he actually missed it!"

As expected, Gu Lao Er has been working as a bookkeeper in the town for many years, and he still knows how to read people's words. He knows that Mr. Gu is angry at this time and knows that he cares about face.

Now that they have lost face, Mr. Gu has nowhere to vent his anger, and they will definitely suffer.

Mr. Gu stared at Mr. Gu and said nothing.

In fact, he knew clearly and clearly remembered that at that time, the second child did indeed say that he would win the exam with 70% to 80% chance, but he did not mean 100%. However, for some reason, the family started to prepare.

The old lady went to buy wedding candies, put on new clothes, and waited at the door for someone to announce the good news.

The second daughter-in-law also wore a new dress and dressed up. She followed the old woman and stood at the door, waiting to announce the good news.

The same goes for that girl Gu Yunyan. She not only dressed up, but also wore a headband worth ten cents each.

Yes, you can't blame the second child for all this. All this is a misunderstanding by the family.

He had also seen his old wife and his second daughter-in-law like this, and he had preconceived ideas, thinking that his grandson's success in the imperial examination was settled!

Who knows...

Mr. Gu sighed: "Forget it, get up."

After saying that, he turned around and entered his room.

Gu Yunhong had been kneeling for so long that his legs were numb and he couldn't stand up at all.

Thanks to Mrs. Wu outside the door, she kept listening with her ears close to the sound. When she saw Mr. Gu leaving, she hurriedly entered the room and helped Gu Yunhong up.

"Yunhong, son, sit down quickly and let me make you a bowl of sugar water."

Wu helped Gu Yunhong sit down, and went to the kitchen to find some sugar to make water.

Unexpectedly, Mrs. Gu also came in. When she saw Mrs. Wu taking the sugar, she grabbed it.

Wu begged her: "Mom, please give me a spoon. Yun Hong has been kneeling for so long just now, and now his head is still dizzy. Please feel sorry for him."

Mrs. Gu scolded: "You didn't win the test, you can eat whatever you want, sugar is such a precious thing!"

After saying that, he carried the small bag of sugar out.

Wu gritted her teeth and had no choice but to pour a bowl of cold white wine and start going out.

"Yunhong, the sugar is gone. You drink some water first. When we get back to town, mother will make you some sugar water."

Mrs. Wu smiled and comforted Gu Yunhong: "It's okay. As you know, there are so many people taking part in the provincial examination every year, but only a few can actually win."

"Many people have failed even after taking the exam many times. This is your first time. If you fail this time, you can take the exam again in three years."

Gu Laoer also echoed: "Yes, Yunhong, don't take this matter to your heart. Your grandma made a mistake this time and it has nothing to do with you."

After hearing what his parents said, Gu Yunhong couldn't hold himself tight anymore and started to cry.

He knew in his heart that it was because of him that he exaggerated. After finishing the exam, he was not very sure, but he told his father that he was 50% or 60% sure.

It's all because of him. If he hadn't misled his father like this, his father wouldn't have told his grandma that he had a high probability of winning the lottery.

However, Gu Yunhong did not dare to speak out such truth.

He was afraid that if he spoke out, even his parents who loved him would be angry.

Mrs. Wu saw her son crying sadly, with a distressed look on her face, and said, "Yunhong, your grandfather's anger will subside in a few days. Our family will go back to town, and you can learn it again."

Gu Yunhong nodded and felt relieved. As long as his parents were willing to let him continue studying.

If he didn't study, he really didn't know what he would do in the future.

After Gu Yunhong was comforted and let him go back to the room, Gu Laoer rubbed his forehead and asked Wu with sorrowful eyes: "My dear, if you let Yunhong continue studying, it will cost a lot of money."

"Our family doesn't have much savings. The little money I have is not enough to buy pens, ink, paper and inkstones for Yun Hong and Yun Zhi."

"Otherwise, you go back to your parents' house..."

Gu Lao Er wanted to say that Wu should go back to her parents' home and cry to her brother. Her brother always loved her, so he thought she could get some money.

Wu had done this before, and her brother did give him some money.

However, things were different now. Wu and her sister-in-law had a falling out because of Gu Yunyan's marriage. How could she have the nerve to go to her brother for money?

For someone as smart as her sister-in-law, how could she not know that her brother gave her money?

At that time, it was probably because of Gu Yunyan that my sister-in-law turned a blind eye.

Now, I'm afraid it won't work.

Wu felt worried, sighed and said, "Second brother, my brother may not be able to do it."

Gu Laoer thought that his wife didn't want to go, so he immediately became angry: "Why can't it be done? Your brother is so rich, what's wrong with asking him to spend some money to help his nephew?"

"I don't think it's possible, but you don't want to go, right? Oh, if you dare, you will say that I want you to ask for some money, but you will resist."

Mrs. Wu felt bitter in her heart. Seeing her husband misunderstanding her like this, she couldn't help but told her sister-in-law Yao that she wanted Gu Yunyan to be her daughter-in-law.

"Second brother, tell me, can I agree to this? It's not like you don't know that my nephew is just a businessman, how can he be worthy of our Yunyan?"

Gu Laoer listened to Wu's words, but there was a hint of disapproval in his eyes.

"Why didn't you tell me about such an important thing earlier?"

"If you ask me, Yunyan is indeed not too young. Although your mother's family is engaged in business, they are still well-off and know everything about her. Yunyan will be blessed if she marries you."

"I agree to this marriage! You go back to your parents' house tomorrow and finalize the matter."

Wu was dumbfounded, why her husband's reaction was completely different from what she thought.

Does she really want to go back to her parents' home, tell her sister-in-law, and agree to this marriage?
