She couldn't believe it.
"She became a demon after that?"
Qiao Yuying nodded. "Yes! I think she saw that your Fifth Brother still cared about her and didn't let her die. She thought that there was still hope and hoped that your Fifth Brother could support the Zhou family. "
Gu Qingyao was speechless.
"She didn't just want support. She wanted to release all those people from prison!"
Qiao Yuying nodded.
"Supporting her younger brother is so scary!" Gu Qingyao sighed.
In this era, the preference for boys was too strong. Sometimes, it wasn't that women didn't want to be strong, but that they had been instilled with the idea of favoring boys over girls since young. Many women looked down on themselves and had a crazy and twisted desire to support their family.
Many people were willing to sacrifice their own family. They didn't love or dote on their own children, but loved their younger brother's children. This was not rare. In fact, it was quite common.
Zhou Ping was such a person.
But in the beginning, she didn't show this trait too much. It could even be said that the Gu family was better off and could provide for the Zhou family's needs.
The living conditions of the people in that era were too poor. It was already good enough to have some food. But later, as society developed, people's desires grew. Zhou Ping couldn't provide for them, but the Gu family rose rapidly at that time. She wanted the Gu family's fortune.
She always felt that the money was nothing when the family grew bigger, but she didn't think that her small family couldn't afford it.
Qiao Yuying smiled and said, "I don't think she can change her mind. She's been abused by your Fifth Brother and is completely obedient now. Moreover, she's getting older. After being alone for so many years, she's also lonely. She wants to come to the capital to see her children and to go home.
"But your Fifth Brother didn't agree. Your Third Uncle didn't agree either. Your Fifth Brother saw that she's been doing well these few years, so he left her in the capital and found a place for her to live. He was responsible for her living expenses. Occasionally, he would visit her with your Third Brother, Little Seven, and Little Eight."
Gu Qingyao sighed. The Gu family was complete, but Zhou Ping was such a weirdo. Because of him, her two brothers didn't have a complete family.
Qiao Yuying said, "I'm just telling you so that you know what to do. If you encounter something related to her one day, don't be too surprised. There are too many people in the capital who are jealous of you. Don't be tricked by someone with ulterior motives."
Gu Qingyao nodded. "I got it."
"Oh right, there's one more thing I need to tell you."
"What?"
"Your sister-in-law has been looking for a wife for her younger brother recently. Your elder brother is interested in grooming him. If you have any suitable candidates, introduce them to him."
Gu Qingyao thought about the little guy and smiled.
"Time passes so quickly! The little fellow who just came to the Gu family back then has already grown so big. He can also take charge of things on his own. "
When his eldest sister-in-law, Li Qingtong, married his eldest brother, she came to the capital from the north with their family and brought back a younger brother.
That little fellow was only ten years old back then!
He was like his own son when he was by his eldest brother's side. All these years, he had been groomed by his eldest brother and was now a very capable person. He was a very capable assistant to his eldest brother!
Among the four branches of the second generation of the Gu family, the second branch had the most rapid development. The fourth branch, Gu Yunshen, had Family Qiao and Gu Qingyao to support him, so he was doing well.
Only the third branch was relatively weak.
But Fifth Brother was capable enough, and Little Seven and Little Eight were still growing up. They weren't the heirs of the eldest branch, so there was nothing much to say.
But the eldest branch couldn't compare to the second branch. Many people in the capital had tried to sow discord.
