My Husband and I Brought Hundreds of Millions of Supplies to Farm

202 Chapter 202 A Way Out

“Alright, then you guys can sit and wait.” Gu Chengrui wasn’t overly polite. He went to the west room to get a plate of stir-fried pumpkin seeds and handed it to them. “Have some snacks as you wait.”

After that, he turned around and had dinner.

After Zhou Ying finished eating, she poured a glass of water for the father and son.

Once Gu Chengrui finished too, he asked, “Second uncle, why did you bring Chengxi here today?”

“Right, Chengxi said that he wants to study medicine. I thought that this was also a way out for him. We can’t let him just be a store assistant, so I came to see if you could take him as a disciple.” Second Uncle Gu put down the pumpkin seeds and asked with a serious expression.

Of course, this also left a way out for himself. He realized that his eldest son had secretly bought two acres of land to grow vegetables, and they had never told him.

In fact, if he had not discovered it, they might have kept it a secret forever.

If his eldest son were unfilial, he would have to turn to his youngest son and need someone to take care of him in his old age. This was why he couldn’t stand by and watch Chengxi stay home and work on something unimportant to his future.

Gu Chengrui looked at Gu Chengxi and asked, “Chengxi, do you really want to learn medicine?”

“I want to learn. Not only can I earn money by practicing medicine, but I can also save lives and earn respect.” Gu Chengxi nodded.

“You’re quite realistic and understand your goal.” Gu Chengrui nodded in agreement, then said, “How about this, you go to the clinic and be an apprentice for three months. I’ll also observe if you have talent in this area. If you do, then continue to study. If you don’t, you will have to change your profession. ”

He paused briefly and asked, “What do you guys think?”

“This arrangement is best. I will leave him to you.” Second Uncle Gu expressed his delight.

“I’ll listen to you, third brother.” Gu Chengxi nodded repeatedly.

“Alright, come over early tomorrow morning, and we’ll go together.” Gu Chengrui added.

After that, they chatted for a bit, and Zhou Ying and her husband knew the Gu family had finished their farm work prep. Father Gu and Second Uncle Gu were planning to rent a boat to start a river transportation business.

Their snack shop in the town had stabilized and was handed over to Mrs. Liu and Mrs. Yao to manage.

Gu Chengrui hesitated for a moment before reminding them, “You better be careful. Elder Qiao’s son, Qiao Lansheng, is still alive. He might make a move on you.”

“What? Didn’t the Qiao family get exiled?” Second Uncle Gu exclaimed in shock.

“He’s back, and we were both attacked. Fortunately, we brought something for self-defense, so we survived.”

“You guys should be careful. Are you hurt?” Second Uncle Gu asked as he sized them up.

“No, we were afraid of being robbed, so we always had something for self-defense. That’s how we managed to survive their assassination attempt.” Gu Chengrui explained.

“But… didn’t Zhou Huaiming do everything to stamp out the Qiao family? How could they make such a big mistake?”

“I think you know the current situation in the court better than I do.”

Second Uncle Gu did not speak after hearing this. The Emperor had a total of six children, and four of them had already grown up. In addition to the emperor’s distrustful personality, although the court seemed harmonious on the surface, undercurrents surged while his children fought for power.

It was especially fierce between the eldest prince and the fourth prince. One was the legitimate heir, while the other was the son of the emperor’s most favored consort. The two sides were almost at each other’s throats at this point.

The Gu family was a sacrifice in this political struggle. They had to be very, very careful when it came to their new river transportation business. Otherwise, they would be reduced to the streets if something happened again.
