The people from the old residence walked towards it under the questioning eyes of the entire village.
Gu Youtian should thank his son Gu Ruinian's scandal for attracting the village gossip, or else he would have been the one caught in the public opinion maelstrom.
Didn't they say they were going to open a shop in Pingchuan?
Didn't they say they would definitely make a fortune this time?
Didn't they say they would never come back?
Then why have they slunk back so shamefully!
Gu Ruinian is the village's focal point, but after Madam Gu's scolding, people didn't dare ask about him and instead focused on Gu Youtian. The villagers spoke bluntly, leaving nothing unsaid. Many people directly asked Gu Youtian why he had returned, if his business was failing, and when he planned to return to Pingchuan County.
Gu Youtian replied perfunctorily with a sullen face, wishing he could kick Gu Ruinian to death.
If not for this ungrateful son, he'd still be doing business in Pingchuan County.
