Reborn in 1940 and survived until the new century

"But I still can't understand. The Gu family is just rich, not powerful, and they weren't involved in anything at the time. Why were they so cautious?

It is really hard to understand. Is it just because of my uncle’s maternal family?

Or is there something else going on here that we don’t know about?”

“I couldn’t figure this out either. I was still young at that time, and I had no idea how many businesses the Gu family was involved in or what they were doing.

Maybe it’s because of your uncle’s maternal family, maybe it’s because of business matters, or maybe it’s because of other things, I’m not sure.

You also know that when I was in the Gu family, even though I was a member of the Gu family, if you really think about it, I was better off than the orphans outside. If I wanted to know something, it was not that easy.

Even the housekeepers and servants at that time were more prestigious than me, a so-called lady. How much do you think I know?

Now that I think about it, the things your grandfather left for me when he passed away were entirely because he still had your grandmother in his heart, or he still had me, his daughter, in his heart.

Otherwise, he could just pretend that I didn't exist and just leave. What's wrong with that?"

"this?"

“To be honest, at that time, there were so many people who abandoned their wives and children.

How many people can do what your grandfather did?

And no matter what time it is, large families with large populations will always have some conflicts.

Not to mention that this is the case among children born from the same mother, what about children born from several wives?

Maybe the reason I was able to survive safely is because I am a girl?

If it was a son, he would definitely get a share of the family property one day.

Even if the family property is very little, if there is one less person to share it, won't the others be able to get more?

Once people are involved in interests, many things become uncertain.

Now it seems that I am lucky to be a girl, otherwise it is hard to say whether I can survive safely. "

"That's true, but, Mom, have you ever thought about what your life would be like if you had left with Grandpa and the others?"

"I don't know how it will be, maybe it will be better than now, but one thing is for sure, no matter how good it is, there will be no freedom."

"this?"

“Yes, no matter what, the Gu family is a well-known family, and they are capitalists.

It is not clear whether other things would happen in the country, but at that time they moved to Hong Kong City to develop.

If you want to survive in Hong Kong City or want to have a place in the city, you may have to make some marriage arrangements."

"The third brother is right. I vaguely remember that the older sisters in the family have no say in matters of love.

Even if we advocated freedom at that time, we would never give in to you in everything. And my situation is different from theirs. How many people in the Gu family can truly care about me?

If something really happens, I'm afraid there won't be anyone else to help me except me.

It would be better to be like this now. Even though I have not lived as well as them in the past few decades, in the final analysis, how would they know how I am living?

But are the lives they lead necessarily good?

I don’t think so. Only a person knows how he feels. ”

"Then, Mom, do you really not hate Grandpa at all?"

"resentment?

Not really. There may be some misunderstandings at the beginning, but after a long time and more experiences, I will let it go.

Besides, isn’t the thing your grandfather left me a disguised form of compensation?

What are the things there, why should I resent him? "

"this?"

"Okay, don't think so much. Even if you think more, you can't change some things.

After meeting your uncle today, I understood some things.”

"what's up?"

"Yes?

You were not like this before your uncle came. How come you changed in such a short time?

Isn't this too sudden? "

"yes?

Mom, what's going on? "

"What's going on?

I just feel that people should cherish their blessings and what they have now, instead of dwelling on unrealistic things or things in the past. "

"Really? Your mother is absolutely right."

"Dad, we understand what you and my mom mean."

"That's right. But then again, after meeting my uncle this time, I will definitely keep in touch with him. Mom, what do you think about this?"

“We’ll talk about this later. Our family is in such a condition and cannot be compared with the Gu family.

But there is one thing I want to remind you, you can accept the things that the Gu family gives you, but if they just give you money directly, then forget it.

Let’s not talk about the money for now, I’m just afraid that if something happens later I won’t be able to explain it clearly.

Instead, accepting some gifts means nothing to you or to outsiders?

After all, the Gu family is your in-laws, so it is normal to give gifts to the younger generation.

What's more, we haven't seen each other for many years. It's not easy to see each other once. Giving something as compensation will not attract other people's attention. "

"Mom, how can you say that?"

"It's like, how superficial are we?"

"If you are not superficial, don't accept the gifts from your uncle later."

"Why shouldn't I take it? If you give it to me, I'll take it."

"Then what do you mean by superficial?"

"Doesn't this show what we are?"

"Tsk, do you think people don't know who you are?

It is better to be honest when facing them.”

"That's right. At least it's really likable."

"That's true."

You know what, this is indeed true, because the two children treat their uncle very kindly.

As a result, their eldest uncle gave them many gifts, and after learning about the situation of his three children, he never mentioned giving them money.

Everything is replaced by gifts, but don't underestimate the gifts given to children.

If converted into money, it would not be a small amount.

On the other hand, I heard that after he found Gu Jialan, apart from the few things he gave her at the beginning, he never contacted her again.

I don’t know why, and I’m too lazy to ask.

Fortunately, he did not ask me why I contacted Gu Jialan. If he had really asked, she might not want to contact him anymore.

It’s just that people didn’t expect it, no, it should be that people are unwilling to admit it.

After their eldest uncle contacted Gu Jialan, Gu Jialan began to ask people to inquire about her family's affairs.

It’s a pity that neither Gu Jialan’s ability nor her financial resources are enough to support her in finding herself.

And I heard that her mother did not survive that period.

She was able to survive those more than ten years safely because of her man.

Well, given the situation back then, how good of a person could she marry?
