Sixty-year-old only child: The system taught me how to become rich

Gu Juan was okay. As the first child of Gu Lin and Zhang Pandi, the two of them treated her very well.

Although her salary has declined somewhat due to the birth of Gu Jiabao in recent years, she does not work for the family every day like her two younger sisters, and her food is better than theirs.

Although Gu Zhao is a girl and not the couple's first child, she can receive basic treatment and can go to school when she reaches school age.

Gu Pan is miserable. When Gu Pan was born, Gu Lin and Zhang Pandi took their anger out on Gu Pan because of their successive disappointments, and were very disgusted with her.

At home, Gu Pan gets the most beatings and does the most work, but cannot go to school.

If it hadn't been for the fact that the family hadn't been separated yet and everyone ate together, and Zhang Pandi didn't dare to blatantly deprive her daughter of food in front of her mother-in-law, Gu Pan would have been extremely thin.

If He Chunlan couldn't stand it anymore last year, scolded Gu Lin and Zhang Pandi and forced them to send Gu Pan to school, Gu Pan might not even be able to go to school.

She was not popular with her parents, and she had a younger brother in recent years. Gu Lin and Zhang Pandi naturally paid less attention to her.

If Gu Pan was not in their home, but in someone else's home, Gu Xiu might not feel so sorry for her.

Because this is the case in this era. In rural areas, girls are basically not sent to school. Many families do not even send their boys to school.

Whether they live in the city or in the country, most girls have to work at home every day, and some may not have enough to eat. Gu Pan's life now is actually better than most girls.

But there is no harm without comparison. In the same family, compared with other girls in the family, Gu Pan was really not that good, and Gu Xiu felt a little more pity for her because of this.

"Ugh."

She sighed softly.

He Chunlan on the side heard it and asked her:

"Xiu'er, what's wrong? Why are you sighing when this is so good?"

"Mom, I'm fine. I just want to sigh suddenly."

Now that Gu Mu was still at the dinner table, of course Gu Xiu couldn't directly tell the reason for her sigh. Facing He Chunlan's inquiry, he could only pass it off casually.

"That's good."

A daughter is as good as her mother. How could He Chunlan not see that her daughter had something on her mind? She might not be able to tell it in front of everyone.

The sun was no longer hot, the wind started blowing in the yard, and Gu Xiu's family was ready to go back. They weren't going to stay for dinner today.

He Chunlan stopped at the main road leading to the county seat at the entrance of the team.

She pulled Gu Xiu aside.

"Xiu'er, why were you sighing before? There were so many people at the dinner table, and I was afraid that it would be difficult for you to tell me, so I didn't ask you. Now that everyone is gone, can you tell mother what you are worried about?"

As soon as He Chunlan mentioned this, Gu Xiu remembered what she was thinking at the time and couldn't help but sigh again.

Seeing this, He Chunlan became even more anxious and couldn't help but pat Gu Xiu's arm.

"Oh, you kid, you are just like your father. You always like to shut up in the middle of a conversation. Tell me quickly, what's wrong? I'm really worried to death."

Gu Xiu didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

"Mom, don't worry, it's nothing. I just thought about Gu Pan at the time."

He Chunlan didn't react at first.

"When you think of Pan Yatou, why do you sigh when you think of Pan Yatou?"

Halfway through, she suddenly remembered something and fell silent for a moment.

"...Oh, girl Pan...are you thinking of the things her parents did?"

"Yes, mother. I just think that the second brother and the second sister-in-law are too partial. It's okay to value Jiabao more. After all, Jiabao is their only male. But you can't do this to your daughter. No matter whether it's a boy or a girl, it's not you. A child? Is it necessary to go so far? "

When Gu Xiu thought of this, she felt a little angry.

"Well, your second brother and sister-in-law are like this. They are both so old. After all, I am a generation apart, so it is not easy for me to care too much. Just like the issue of Pan Yatou's schooling, the tuition fees of the children at home have always been paid by themselves. Each parent has to pay for it. After all, each child’s expenses are different, so it’s hard to manage the expenses at home.”

At this point, she sighed again.

"Well, you said that your parents are responsible for their own children's tuition fees, and I can't interfere. After all, the family's own money is used."

"So I didn't care that the second child and his wife didn't let Gu Pan go to school until last year when Gu Pan was really old and it was time to go to school. I thought about it and forced the second child and his wife to send her to school."

Gu Xiu also understood her mother's difficulties. The children have all started their own families, and it is not good for parents to interfere in their own affairs. Especially this kind of thing that involves money and must be agreed in advance, otherwise it will easily lead to family disharmony if you are not careful.

She comforted her mother:

"Mom, it's okay, you have done a good job. I can only say that this girl Gu Pan is unlucky to have such parents. And if you think about it from another perspective, other people's girls are much more pitiful than Gu Pan. This girl Gu Pan has already forgotten Much happier."

"That's the only way. I've already interfered with Gu Pan's studies once, and I can't interfere again. All I can do is ensure that she has the same food as the other children in the family."

He Chunlan thought about it over and over, but still couldn't figure it out.

"You think this second child is different from the rest of the family? He was obviously born to the same parents and grew up together, so why is he completely different from the four of you?"

"I treat all five of you children equally and send you all to study. You and your eldest brother studied hard and had good academic performance. You graduated from high school. Your third brother is not as good at studies as you and your eldest brother. But I finally got my junior high school diploma.”

"Not to mention the fourth brother. He ranks first in the school every year. He gets subsidies and awards for top students every year. We don't have to pay for the tuition. He can save a lot of money. Why is your second brother so different? He doesn't like studying, skips classes every day, and doesn't do his homework. Your father's stick is broken, but he doesn't listen at all. With your father and I's insistence, we barely managed to graduate from elementary school."

Gu Xiu held He Chunlan's hand and patted her shoulder to comfort her.

"Mom, everyone has their own destiny, and everyone is different. You have done a good job. Not only our team, but look at several nearby teams. Who cares about children's learning as much as you do."

"Oh, maybe. You said that your father and I are not so patriarchal. Some people say that it is because Zhang Pandi's family is very patriarchal, and so is she herself, so it affects your second brother. But I am his mother. , I don’t know yet? Your second brother was like this before, but he didn’t show it so obviously before. It showed after he married your second sister-in-law. "
