Tree Hole Self-Rescue Guide

How do you remember me, with a smile or in silence...

"You're worried about this, it's okay. Master Zhibai said that old age brings a chance. Whether you can survive it or not is all up to fate, but if you change your fate, you can live to ninety-nine. Even though I'm an old man, I'm now an illegal resident, and you guys have to provide for my food and drink."

Mr. Gu couldn't bear to see this. They were all adults, but they were still worrying about their next lives. It was good enough for people to live a good life. But he was still very pleased that these sons were not raised in vain.

"What's there to be afraid of? It's not like we can't afford to support you now. But if you eat sea cucumbers and abalone every day, I can't afford it. It's okay for you to eat some home-cooked meals." Gu Mo didn't realize the inconvenience of his father becoming an illegal resident.

"Zhizhi, Gu Ye, come and try the porridge cooked by your Grandpa Li, it's delicious. Ah Wan is full, so Dad won't let you eat anymore."

After greeting the children, Mr. Gu sat aside and chatted with his sons.

"Dad, why don't you come back to the village with us? You can live with Zhizhi's grandparents and take care of each other. There aren't many old people in the village who know you anymore. We haven't seen each other for 20 or 30 years, and the villagers generally don't check your identity or anything like that."

"Normally, Zhizhi and his friends are on winter and summer vacations, and the children are there too. You haven't seen them for a long time."

Gu Qiu started the topic first. After all, among the three brothers, he was the only one with a relatively stable life.

"If they check my ID, I will still be an illegal resident. I can't cause trouble for them."

Mr. Gu also wants to see his old friends. When people get old, they like to reminisce, recall the friends and past events from their youth, and those friends who have left in time.

"That's easy. Wait until all of dad's assets are donated, then apply to revoke the death declaration. Then when those vampires see that the old man is penniless, they will run away, fearing that they will be blamed."

Gu Mo held his forehead and frowned. If it wasn't for the purpose of severing ties with that group of people, he would have wanted to immediately take the old man to the hospital for examination and restore his identity.

"Dad, given his current condition, it's safest for him to go to Gu Qiu's place. Once everything is clear, it will be great for him to spend his remaining years there. Our company just so happens to be planning to expand to Taipei, so we can all develop in the north, get together from time to time, and eventually retire in Taipei."

Gu Feng had no objection to this. He hadn't been back to see Uncle Mo and Aunt Li for all these years. He only called them during the holidays. Xiao Hei had several children, but he had never been back once.

Now think about the time lost for some so-called kinship and morality, who will pay it back? Fortunately, there is still a chance to make up for it.

Old Man Gu was sent back to Taipei by Gu Mo overnight. He briefly explained the situation to the two elderly people, Mo Yang and Li Yue. He took a nap in the dormitory for a while, and then drove to Gu's house to attend the funeral at the sound of the roosters crowing at four o'clock.

Mr. Gu's funeral was kept simple. Apart from the children of his business partners and friends who came to pay their respects, the only people left were those who were waiting to make more money.

The three brothers were busy for most of the day seeing the guests off. Gu Feng took Gu Qiu, who was settling accounts with the housekeeper, and got into Gu Mo's car and slipped away.

The cousin called Gu Feng, and Gu Qiu rushed over and pressed the call button to turn off Gu Feng's phone. After a while, his own phone rang again.

"Gu Mo, why didn't your phone ring? Why did you call me?"

Gu Qiu originally wanted to put the blame on Gu Mo. After all, he was an outsider who had no ties with him, and generally no one with a brain would call him. It would be great to let Gu Mo scold him back to vent his anger, but in the end, the call came to him.

"Ah, I have already blocked those people, and I have set my phone to not answer any unknown calls. They can't get any blood from me. Brother, you better answer the phone, and I won't harass you after that."

"Hello, is this Gu Qiu? I'm your dad's cousin, you can call me Uncle Gu."

As soon as the call was connected, an impatient voice came from the other end, fearing that Gu Qiu would hang up.

"Well, hello, I have nothing to do with the Gu family. If you have anything to say, go find Gu Feng and Gu Mo. I am no longer a member of the Gu family. It is meaningless for you to say anything to me. I am here to see Mr. Gu off for the last time, which is a way to repay his kindness in raising me."

Gu Qiu took the initiative and said the wording he had prepared before.

"I can't get through to your brother on the phone. Didn't you get in the same car and leave? Your brother and brother must be next to you. Then put on the hands-free mode and let's talk."

"Okay then, I'll keep the speaker on, just tell me." Gu Qiu looked at Gu Feng and raised his eyebrows, saying silently that this position was all thanks to his father's pampering out of their old relationship.

"We just want to ask, don't you think it's a pity that your father donated all his property?" That's money, lots of money. You can let your grandchildren go to the best schools. When they grow up, they can study abroad and get a job in a company. They can just sit back and relax and earn dividends for the rest of their lives. What a great one-stop service.

"It's not a pity. It wasn't ours in the first place. The three of us brothers are outsiders. The Gu family's property doesn't belong to us. The old man can give his things to whoever he wants. I open a pet shop to make money based on my ability. I won't starve to death."

Gu Mo sat in the driver's seat and spoke into the phone next to his ear at a louder volume.

"That's reasonable, but you have to fight for it. There's always a chance of failure. Besides, your brother has only been the chairman for a few years. If you give the company to Gu Lin for free, then you're just working for him for free."

Gu Feng touched the short hair that he had just shaved in the morning. It felt prickly and itchy, a familiar yet unfamiliar feeling.

"I have no objection. I was not the heir to be trained by the company. Gu Lin got the position based on his own ability, and the people in the company also believe in him. I feel relieved to hand over the company to him. As for other matters, I can't help. After all, the shares I held were transferred to Gu Lin a long time ago, and the Gu family has nothing to do with me now."

The shares were too hot to hold in my own hands, so I gave them to Gu Lin as a favor, which was a sure win. Anyway, Gu Lin was a wolf cub, and if they wanted to get something from him, these people would have to suffer a lot.

"Look, none of us brothers have any objections to the will. Anyone who has any objections can apply for it. If you are qualified, the problem will be solved naturally. We will have nothing to do with the Gu family in the future. You must take care of your health."

Gu Qiu hung up the phone and set the incoming call rules to the same as Gu Mo's.

"Let's go home and have dinner. Gu Mo, I'll drive at the next service area. You wait and take a nap in the car."

After attending the funeral, Mo Wan, Mo Zhichun, and Gu Ye returned to Taipei early in Gu Ye's uncle's car so that Gu Ye and Mo Zhichun could still catch up with the exam before the National Day holiday.

The two-day exam seemed particularly miserable amid the crying of autumn rain. The temperature dropped sharply and the autumn wind blew, blowing on the body mixed with the depression after the exam. The infirmary welcomed another group of guests.
