Chapter 588: Arriving at the Guo Family
Gu Hongwei and Guo Jinnian would naturally not expose Tong Yao, but they were internally shocked beyond measure.
Uncle Niu Che also took Tong Yao’s words at face value, advising kindly, "Young lady, I am old, and my words may not be pleasant to hear, but don’t mind it. Money is hard to earn, so you should spend it frugally. It’s normal for young people to love beauty, but you can’t wear all the money you earn on your body. In my childhood, many people starved to death due to lack of food and drink. My younger brother starved to death. He was only ten years old, and when he died, he only weighed about a few kilos, his whole body was skin and bones, without any flesh."
Speaking of the past, there was a sad look in Uncle Niu Che’s eyes, showing how truly hard those times were.
Tong Yao had merely lied for security reasons, she hadn’t expected to make Uncle Niu Che sad. She had not meant to. She quickly comforted, "Uncle, don’t be sad. Our country’s policies are getting better and better, there will definitely be no more people starving to death. I will also work hard to earn and save money in the future, and I will not spend it on clothing and dressing up."
Guo Jinnian also nodded vigorously, "Yes, yes, yes, we will definitely save money and won’t spend recklessly anymore."
Uncle Niu Che was just saddened by the memory of his brother’s death. Hearing Tong Yao and Guo Jinnian’s words, he instantly smiled again, "You all are willing to listen to advice, you’re good youngsters. It’s okay to make mistakes as long as you can correct them. You’re all around twenty years old, right? Do you have partners?"
Tong Yao, hearing this, felt uneasy and hurried to clarify, "Uncle, we both have partners. I am even pregnant and will give birth in a few months."
She was here to help Guo Jinnian with his affairs, not to be introduced to potential partners by the Uncle.
However, as soon as Uncle Niu Che heard that Tong Yao was pregnant, he was startled, "Oh, young lady, you are pregnant, why didn’t you say so earlier? The path here is not easy, it’s too bumpy. I’ll drive the ox slower."
Looking at the petite and frail young woman, he couldn’t afford to let any mishap happen.
