Uncle Gu’s birthday party was held in the largest private room in the Dragon and Phoenix Building, but apart from the two families, none of the suppliers who had been scheduled to attend came.
Uncle Gu was worried that Uncle Gu would not pay, so he deliberately said, "Brother, I ordered this lobster and abalone a long time ago. I only got it from an old friend!"How could Uncle Gu not know what Uncle Gu Er was thinking? Uncle Gu Er always talked about money, and Uncle Gu was used to it.
He was unhappy, but thinking that it was his birthday after all, and that he had suffered such a big thing before, and that both families were here, Uncle Gu thought it would be okay to take a break from the dust.
So he said, "How much is it? Please calculate it for me later."
Uncle Gu's wife pinched his thigh fiercely, glared at him, and whispered, "The family is already struggling to make ends meet, and you still want to eat so well?"
Moreover, she knew Second Uncle Gu. Second Uncle Gu would not give a discount just because he was a relative of First Uncle Gu. Instead, he would extort a huge sum of money every time. First Uncle Gu was very concerned about his reputation, so he paid the money without saying anything.
Uncle Gu turned a blind eye to his wife's anger and was even a little angry, thinking she was too petty.
Gu Qingchuan over there was also happy about being able to have a big meal, but this happiness diluted the moment he saw the report card.
A lean camel is bigger than a horse. So what if Zhou Fang is ranked third in the whole grade? His family is rich, and he can eat lobsters and abalone, which Zhou Fang can't afford at all, and which Zhou Yu's shabby shop will never have.
But he was not happy for long. Uncle Gu's wife felt uncomfortable when she saw Gu Qingchuan turning the lobster meat over and over again and putting it into her bowl. He is not a child anymore, so how could he be so uneducated?
She remembered that Uncle Gu had told her a few days ago that Gu Qingchuan was at the bottom of the elite class in this exam. She suddenly snorted coldly, "Qingchuan's monthly exam results are out, right? This is the first monthly exam for senior year, and it's very important. But Qingchuan is so talented, he must have done well, right?"
Gu Qingchuan's chopsticks stopped suddenly. He looked at his father fearfully and said nothing.
Uncle Gu was also very angry when he thought of this. It was understandable that Gu Qingchuan was at the bottom of the elite class, after all, everyone had good grades. Gu Qingchuan had just been released from the police station and had suffered such a big shock, so it was normal for him to not do well in the exam.
But Zhou Fang happened to get third place in the whole grade, and even got first place in mathematics with full marks, and was ranked third in the top class.
Moreover, compared to Gu Qingchuan, Zhou Fang was severely beaten and had a lot of things to do at home. It was said that he would go to the store opened by his sister to help at noon.
Just like that, I actually ranked third in the whole grade!
Uncle Gu gets angry whenever he thinks about it.
Although he also reprimanded his son, the father and son were still united outside. He picked up a piece of fish with chopsticks as if nothing had happened: "Qingchuan was hit hard and didn't do well in the exam. He will definitely do well next time."
Gu Qingchuan felt his scalp tingling after hearing this. The calmer his father was, the angrier he was.
Uncle Gu's wife was not ready to give up. She sighed and seemed to feel sorry for him. "Don't blame Qingchuan too much. Studying really depends on talent. I heard that Zhou Fang got third place in the grade. That's why they say comparison kills. Qingchuan, just do better next time."
