Her son was all grown up and about to be married, but this had happened and it had amounted to nothing!

Gu Jinye knew that his parents were worried. He tried his best to seem indifferent, in order to make them feel better. But he was inwardly also at a loss.

Gu Jinye sat in the room that the children had stayed in. He bowed his head in silence.

There were bunk beds in this room and his two aunts and stayed here with the four children. Now that Third Uncle’s family had left, there was more space and they could spread out.

Gu Yunshen gave the big heated brick bed in his room to Eldest Uncle, Eldest Aunt and the two children. Gu Jinye, Gu Jinfeng and he slept in the bunk beds.

The two children would not be seeing their parents for many years at least. At this moment, they wanted to spend more time with their parents.

Gu Jinye was sitting there meditating on life when Gu Qingyao pushed the door open and entered. “Elder Brother!”

When he heard the soft sounds, Gu Jinye hurriedly hid his desolate mood and forced a smile. “Younger Sister!”

Gu Qingyao’s heart ached when she saw him like that. “They’re not around now. You don’t have to struggle to hide your feelings.”

Gu Jinlin was shocked!

Gu Qingyao sat next to him and said, “You’re the oldest in the family and usually very filial. Now that something like that has happened, aren’t you also feeling very lost? But you have to pretend that it doesn’t matter to comfort Eldest Aunt and Uncle.”

Gu Jinye gaped. His eyes reddened!

He was the eldest in the family and now he was young and in his prime. He was about to establish his career and his family when fate dealt him a fatal blow!

The Gu family’s background was poor. The entire family lived on tenterhooks.

His father was capable and that protected the family a little. Father had worked so hard for so many years. But he said that Youngest Uncle was the most intelligent of the brothers. But he had been born at the wrong time and had no opportunity to display his talents.

It was because of his youngest uncle’s intelligence that he had remained at home to take care of the old folks. Ultimately, these two old folks were in a far more precarious situation than the rest of them. Without Gu Yunshen at home, everyone would worry.

Because of that, Youngest Uncle had remained at home and worked in the fields to earn work points.

His father had always felt guilty about that!

He was the eldest son and the eldest grandson. In the past, he hoped to be successful so he could share the family’s burden!

But now he could not even take care of himself. He had made a match, but she had run off…

Gu Jinye bowed his head. “I’m alright. I’ve been away for so many years. If I cannot bear something so small, how can I be the eldest son?

“You’re engaged to Beihan. Beihan comes from a good background and has been doing well in his career outside. You don’t need to worry about these things. Just carry on with your life at home and then marry Beihan in two years time. Your older cousins will take care of this family.”

Gu Qingyao smiled. “Eldest Brother, are you feeling like a failure?”

Gu Jinye paused. He did not say anything.

Gu Qingyao came closer and sat next to him. She grasped his arms and warmly shook them. Then she laid her head on his arm.

“Elder Brother, actually I think your present situation is pretty good! Think about it. If Elder Brother Beihan had not warned you in advance, or if you did not believe Elder Brother Beihan and made advanced preparations, more severe consequences would await you.

“Then all of you might be scattered to different places and it will be hard to meet. Even your two younger brothers will have to follow you to suffer. How hard is that?”
