Today, they had another argument. Gu Zi took this matter to heart. She served Lin Cheng, her brother from her maternal home, with great care, ensuring he enjoyed his first lunch in their new home. After lunch, Lin Cheng excused himself as he had to return to work at the pig farm in the afternoon.

Su Shen offered to drive him, as he also needed to visit the village and check on the pig farm, extending his regards to the old employees.

After Su Shen had left with Lin Cheng, Gu Zi began to tidy up the dining room and kitchen. Su Bing offered to help, but she refused him, reminding him, “School is about to start, and you need to prepare for the entrance exam. Be a good boy, take your younger brother, and go upstairs to study in the study room.”

Su Bing’s confidence had grown considerably, and although he was not one to flaunt his abilities, he genuinely wanted to help his mother and couldn’t bear to see her tired.

He said to Gu Zi, “Mom, the targeted training you’ve given my brother and me these past few days has been very effective. Your lectures are excellent, and the questions you set are challenging. I’m confident about the entrance exam now. Let me help you finish up here before I go back to revising.”

Upon hearing this, Su Li silently turned off the television that was playing cartoons, stood up, and prepared to join his brother upstairs to study.

He dared not utter the words his brother had just spoken. The targeted training their mother had been giving them recently was too difficult. Many times, he was still confused after completing the exercises. How could he leisurely watch television under such circumstances?

Gu Zi knew that Su Bing was concerned about her and wanted to help with the chores. However, priorities must be set. The most crucial thing at the moment was the upcoming entrance exam for the two brothers. Although Gu Zi was mentally prepared that they might not catch up with their peers in a short time, she still hoped they would prepare well and give it their all.

Seeing Su Li’s reaction, Gu Zi changed her approach and told Su Bing to go revise, “Even if you don’t need to study intensively, think about your younger brother. You could help him with his exercises. Don’t just stand here, go upstairs.”

In the end, Su Bing was sent away. When he was upstairs explaining the exercises to his younger brother, his attitude was rather cold and somewhat disdainful, at least that’s how Su Li felt.

This led to Su Li complaining and wanting to tattle. Su Bing stopped him, his tone leaving no room for argument, “Even if studying doesn’t make a big difference for you now, I won’t allow you to bother mom. Sit.”

Su Li pouted and reluctantly sat back down, secretly regretting his actions. He gritted his teeth and continued studying. Su Bing was not the same as before; he now prioritized their mother over his younger brother…

As the start of the school year approached, the Gu family was in turmoil. The couple was constantly arguing, and the reason was simple. Due to Lin Miao’s situation, the Gu family had spent all their savings and borrowed a lot of money, leaving their financial situation very grim.

The Gu household was always filled with tension. The couple maintained a facade in front of others, never arguing, but as soon as they were alone, they would often start fighting over trivial matters, leaving them without peace for a long time.

They had another argument today, mainly over the two school admission slots. Gu Zi had moved, and they wanted to ask her for the slots, but they didn’t even know her address.

That day, Gu Shan returned from Little Lin Village and went straight to Gong Zhan’s house. Mrs. Chen was not in a good mood and only said that Gong Zhan was not at home, without mentioning where he had gone. Gu Shan also went to Gong Zhan’s office, but was told that Gong Zhan was out on business.

He thought that perhaps because of Lin Miao’s situation, Gong Zhan was not very willing to see them, so he was avoiding them. Anyway, he couldn’t wait to get the address from Gong Zhan, so he had no choice but to ask around for Gu Zi’s address, but he couldn’t find it.

Zhang Mei’s brother’s family was getting impatient. School was about to start, and his two grandsons had withdrawn from their original primary school, waiting to use the two slots at the foreign language primary school.

But how could they know that the Gu family hadn’t even found Gu Zi’s new address yet, let alone ask her for the two slots? Their plan was likely to fall through.

Zhang Mei looked at the jade piece in her hand, extremely anxious. She didn’t want to return this valuable item to her brother at all; she had to get those slots.

Every day, she urged Gu Shan to find Gu Zi’s address. Gu Shan was initially proactive, but after failing to find the address and being constantly nagged, he grew resentful.

Moreover, the slots were for Zhang Mei’s relatives, and Gu Shan was not particularly willing to give them away. After all, if he could give these slots to the children of his superiors, his future would be truly limitless. This back and forth led to another argument today, with both parties refusing to back down.
