The more Gu Lei listened, the clearer his heart became, and the more he realized how hard it is to be a patriarch.

"I can't finish talking about it for a few days. There is no need for others to ask. The direct descendants have thought about everything and done it. After leaving the capital, we went to pick up the married daughters of the Li family, but in the end they chose to stay at the in-law's house together. The difficulty is also to leave a way for the Li family to return to the capital."

Grandpa Li closed his eyes, "My mother's family fled like bereaved dogs. Can a married woman have a good life? One can imagine the hardships involved."

"But they still chose to stay. That's how the news from the capital came. Only when the bits and pieces converge into a river can people's hearts be united."

"The reason why the Gu family is not united is because you have not done enough. Your kindness has not benefited everyone, and you have not let them feel the benefits of the big family. On the contrary, they are not as free as the people outside, and you even have to sacrifice yourself. Get out of the way, I didn't get any benefit from you, now I have to take another shot, why?"

"It's hard for me to support my family. My father and grandfather also sacrificed their lives for the Gu family. I'm still a widow but I don't get any benefits. No one mentions the credit of my father and parents. The future outside is uncertain, and life at home is very tight. I If my father is still alive, can I live better."

Grandpa Li's words were deafening and hit the depths of Gu Lei's heart.

He also lost his father and uncle, and now he is struggling and exhausted, so he understands these words more deeply.

It's like a knife piercing people's hearts, and the painful heart is trembling.

"Son, the patriarch is not that easy to do. Look at your uncle. You will be free for one day when you come here. When you get home from rest, you will also look around. Just ask."

"Even if the eldest daughter-in-law and Yu'er have done a good job, he will still go around from time to time, not to go through the motions, but to tell everyone in the family. You are all in my heart, I think of you, but I haven't had a chance to move Take time out to arrange the children's future, give me some time, I have not forgotten you."

"Grandpa, I was wrong. I didn't do enough. I shouldn't blame everyone for not helping me and not being of one mind."

"That's right, child, you have to allow the side branch to have its own little thoughts. Everyone wants to live a good life, want to have a good life, want to have a good life, and want their children and grandchildren to have a future. What's wrong with this idea?"

Grandpa Li is teaching Gu Lei, he is generous and tolerant.

"Yes."

"A good future will come to you first. The banquet in the palace, the position in front of His Highness the Night King is not qualified to stand in front of His Royal Highness except you. Then others are a little cautious, why can't you tolerate it? I can't get any benefits and I can't envy you."

"Yes, I took note."

"When you feel sad, think about your third uncle, and think about Yu'er and her second uncle. They were all born to the same father. Why should you sacrifice for the eldest brother and the family? If you want the family to be strong and prosperous, you can't rely on one person's talents. and ability, but the whole clan is truly powerful when united.”

"Grandpa, is this the reason why my uncle doesn't let Yu'er stand out?"

"Yeah, it's not."

Grandpa Li smiled and took the hot tea from Gu Lei.

"I know that Yu'er has the ability to be a general, and she is indeed. But I can't let her go out to explore the world."

"A general is very hard. It's not a woman's job. I'm just this granddaughter. I don't want her half her life to be wrapped in horse leather."

"Another, the family needs to be strong. If the family is dominated by women instead of men, it will be a heavy blow to the family."

"Outsiders will think that your son already needs nepotism, and that he treats women like men and tries his best to have a chance to show his face. The men in this family are all trash."

"It's time for a woman to use a knife to fight for the family, but a man can't support the family, can't protect the women and children, what's the use of it!"

"Whoever dares to marry you, whoever dares to cooperate with your family, the whole room is full of trash."

Grandpa Li is a standard patriarch.

"..."

Gu Lei didn't say a word, he didn't fully agree in his heart, he still thought that Yu'er had been wronged.

"Yu'er's talent can do other things, she can do more, contribute to the common people, to the sons of the family, there is no need to go outside to let people point and attack her reputation, and make other children of the family resent that she only cares about herself and doesn't care about others life and death."

"If Wei's second son dies, there will be Li's second son and Wang's second son to attack her. This world will never lack bad people who only use the reputation of your daughter's family to attack you, until you die."

Grandpa Li loved Li Yu very much, and he didn't want her to be contaminated with any bad things, and he didn't want his granddaughter to have the slightest danger or badness.

Boss Li also thought the same way. These are the eyeballs of the father and mother. They have carefully considered from birth to marriage, and they chose the longest and most stable path, and they will protect them for a lifetime under their noses.

Li Yu originally shouldered the important task of marriage, but she has paid a lot to the clan, and the direct line has also contributed to the clan, so the clan is willing to let her marry the Gu family and fulfill her.

In fact, marrying Gu Lei has too little benefit to the Li family, and loses the meaning that the eldest daughter should have.

Marrying a powerful family like the Yang family has more benefits than marrying the Gu family, but Li Yu will not be happy or happy, the clan did not hesitate to back down a step, and would rather give up the benefits to fulfill the child, just hope she is happy.

"Grandpa, I will protect Yu'er, thank you for helping me."

Gu Lei knew that the current Gu family had grown up with this relative, and it was his uncle and grandpa who loved him as their own grandson, so they gave him the most precious girl.

"In my eyes, you are the same as Brother Rui and Xi. They are both my grandsons. If you have any difficulties, just come back and tell me. My old man will support you, and the Li family is also your support. Don't be afraid, just go and do it, I will help you." I believe you will do better than your father, and your father will be happy under the nine springs."

Gu Lei nodded vigorously, his eyes were slightly red.

Grandpa's heart-to-heart teaching also made Gu Lei's mind more peaceful and stable, and he became more disciplined in doing things.

Gu Lei also imitated Boss Li's example. When he returned home, he would bring gifts and go to the homes of the elderly, weak and widowed first.

"Fifth Grandma, let me come to see you. I brought you rheumatism ointment. Yuer's ninth uncle made it. You should use it well, and I'll go for you later."

"Good boy, I'm much better. Sit down quickly. I see that you have become much thinner and your chin is pointed. Don't tire yourself too much. Take care of your body."

Fifth Grandma looked at the thin Gu Lei, and sighed distressedly, it's not easy for a child.

His father was older than him when he took over the Gu family, and the old man was watching. Poor brother Lei lost his father and uncle, and supported the Gu family alone.

"I'm fine. I'm young and strong. I brought you some bacon. It's home-grown. It tastes good. You can save it for Shiliu."

"Okay. Thanks to you coming to see us from time to time, we old guys have made you worry about it. Is your grandpa still in good health?"

"The body goes from good to bad, and it has to be taken care of. The doctor said to make him happy and not depressed..."

Gu Lei smiled wryly.
