Chapter 468: Supermarket is a Goods Store

Gu Youtian rushed home angrily.

No matter how Mr. Gu scolded, how Mrs. Gu cursed, or how Mrs. Jia begged, nothing could quench his anger.

The challenge to his dignity as a father has exceeded the bottom line of Gu Youtian's tolerance for Gu Ruinian.

So under Gu Youtian's anger, Gu Ruinian was beaten again.

"Whether I'm alive or dead, you can only be my son, Gu Youtian. You can only dream of being someone else's son."

Gu Youtian threw the stick away, shattering Gu Ruinian's fantasy of being adopted by the eldest wife and living a life of luxury and study.

Jia wiped her eyes and said, "If you don't want to be the heir, then don't be the heir. It would be useless even if you beat him to death."

She felt relieved, her son was still her son.

Gu Youtian cursed: "Even if you beat him to death, he is still my son."

Gu Ruinian lay in bed, fully realizing the horror of patriarchy in this era.

He missed his father in his previous life a little. His father in his previous life was at least more righteous than Gu Youtian. He said that if he could be favored by a rich and beautiful woman and marry into her family, it would be fine. He could also accept that his grandson would take the woman's surname and inherit the family property instead of taking the surname Gu. At worst, the family would be restored to its original form after three generations.

When he came to Gu Youtian, his chances of becoming someone else's son were cut off.

Gu Ruinian was carried to the bed. Wei felt very happy. Gu Fengnian was afraid that his arrogant brother would be upset, so he sat at the head of the bed to accompany him.

Gu Fengnian said, "Ruinian, I couldn't say anything to you when you were so excited a few days ago. Now I'm telling you the truth. It's not right for you to be adopted by my aunt's family. Dad didn't go to the clan's ancestral hall to ask for an appointment for the throne on the charge of being unfilial. He was showing mercy."

Gu Ruinian grimaced in pain.

He had always been the one to reason with Gu Fengnian, but now it was his brother's turn to reason with him. He was not happy and said, "Brother, you don't understand."

Gu Fengnian frowned and said, "You are the only one who understands! I'm not saying anything bad about you, you always think you are smart and well-read and know more than anyone else in the family, but you have even strayed from the most basic filial piety. Mother has been very sad these days and has cried behind your back many times. You don't have to spend a lot of money to study. Master Su in our village private school is a great man. Didn't Jingzhe learn from him? Wouldn't it be better for you to be more humble and accept him as your teacher instead of following the path of being adopted?"

Gu Ruinian said nothing.

What does Gu Fengnian know.

No matter how powerful Master Su was, he was just a village teacher and had no connections.

In his opinion, apart from Maner and Xiaolong, none of the little brats in the village private school are qualified. One of them is a useless girl, and the other is a wolf cub who has a sour face whenever he sees her and can never be coaxed. If he were to hang out with this group of people, he would die before he even accomplishes his mission.

It is serious to go to Wanliu Academy to study like Gu Jingzhe.

Seeing that Gu Ruinian would not listen to him, Gu Fengnian said, "Second brother, think carefully about what I said. Take a rest first and drink this medicine."

Then he shook his head, walked out of Gu Jingzhe's house, and came to the upper room.

In the upper room, Mr. Gu sighed, "It's all because of poverty."

Gu Youtian sneered and said, "Ever since my business went bankrupt, my father has been complaining about our poverty all day long. He just despises me for not being able to turn things around."

Mr. Gu did not respond, but asked, "Did you find any solution during the days you went to Black Dragon Pond to look for Wu Ren?"

Gu Youtian and Wu Ren had agreed to open a shop in Pingchuan County. They should have returned home proud, but their plans were disrupted by Gu Ruinian.

Thinking of this, I felt more and more disgusted with my second son.

Gu Youtian said, "Wu Ren has a store in Pingchuan County. He doesn't know much about business, so he wants to let me run the store together."

This was good news, which dispelled the gloomy atmosphere that Gu Ruinian had brought to the whole family because of the adoption.

Mr. Gu asked, "Is it a partnership or are you the boss of Wu Ren?"

Gu Youtian said with a proud look on his face, "We will be partners. He will provide the shop and capital, and I will provide the management skills."

Mr. Gu was relieved.

My own son is unwilling to run errands for others.

Otherwise, he would have stayed in the south and worked as a shopkeeper, and there would have been no need to bring his whole family back to Qinghe Bay.

It’s great that Wu Ren is willing to let his son be a partner now. With his son’s abilities, he will surely be able to run the shop successfully.

Not only that, my son’s energy and spirit will also be restored.

"You must work hard this time and show Tong Da Jiao that we can still build up the business without relying on her."

Old Mrs. Gu wiped away her tears. After feeling aggrieved for so long, her second son finally had a way out.

She will now have the confidence to find fault with the eldest brother’s wife again in the future.

Jia clasped her hands together, tears welling up in her eyes, and said, "If Ruinian had known this earlier, he wouldn't have thought of adopting her to Tong Da Jiao."

Old Mrs. Gu gave Jia a sidelong look and brought up something that was off topic.

Wei lamented in her heart that her mother-in-law went crazy whenever it came to her brother-in-law.

But insanity is a good thing. When insanity reaches a certain level, the father-in-law will completely dislike Gu Ruinian.

Gu Youtian sneered. If he hadn't mentioned it, he would have forgotten it. He didn't expect that little beast Gu Ruinian to bring honor to the family.

He had to leave some money for himself when he turned his business around this time, and he couldn't invest all his money on his youngest son.

Besides, he has grandchildren.

Gu Youtian's eyes fell on Yao Jia who was beside Wei. If the big trumpet was useless, he could just practice the small trumpet.

Gu Youtian said: "If Ruinian wants to study, he should find a way himself. He should not even think of touching a penny of the money I earn."

A hint of satisfaction flashed in Wei's eyes.

Jia wanted to argue with Gu Youtian, but was stopped by a look from Old Lady Gu.

There is no overnight hatred between father and son.

Ruinian is his son, right?

He was still counting on auspicious years to bring honor to his family.

If Ruinian is not allowed to study, who will?

The second child is just saying these words out of anger, he will be fine in a few days.

This was also what Mr. Gu meant. He didn't take Gu Youtian's angry words to heart at all.

"Youtian, I heard that your sister-in-law is also going to open a supermarket in Yanguan Town and Pingchuan County, also selling general merchandise. This mall is like a battlefield, who knows what means she will use against you, so be careful."

Mr. Gu then changed the topic to the news that Tong Huaqiong was going to open a supermarket.

Of course, it was Gu Ruinian who told him what a supermarket was. Grandpa Gu understood that it was just a store that sold general merchandise.

There was also a new name for the entire supermarket. He heard Ruinian say that it was Taohua's idea. It was obvious that a young girl was just making up a story.

When the news that Tong Huaqiong was going to open a supermarket came out, Mr. Gu was still thinking about sacrificing his dignity and asking Gu Youtian to find a shopkeeper.

Now there is no need to beg, because my son is the boss.

Gu Youtian smiled faintly and said, "Tong Dajiao is lucky to make money from opening a pastry shop and raising pigs. But she can't open a department store just because she wants to."

In Gu Youtian's usual understanding, running a pastry shop relies on craftsmanship, and raising pigs relies on working from dawn to dusk, and both have nothing to do with management and business acumen.

A department store not only needs to have business methods, but also needs to have high-quality supply channels. Without them, it is doomed to fail.

Especially the high-quality supply channels, how could Tong Dajiao, a peasant woman from Qinghewan, have these channels?

Establishing supply channels is not something that can be done overnight. He only figured it out after doing business in the south for so many years.

The success of several pastry shops and pig farms made Tong Da Jiao arrogant. He wanted to open a department store and make a lot of money, but he was just dreaming.
