Qin Wenzheng glanced at her. “Why? You don’t want it?”

“Of course Ido.” She had also heard of the Tianhai Academy in the prefecture capital. It had a hundred years of history in the Xuanhe Prefecture and was an old academy that had produced many High Scholars, Honorable Scholars, and Top Scholars.

It was said that the current mountain elder had been an official in the capital many years ago. Later, when he was old, he returned to his hometown and became the mountain elder of Tianhai Academy.

Qin Wenzheng actually directly gave the mountain elder a recommendation letter. Indeed, it was easy to take advantage of a big tree. Qin Wenzheng was really too useful.

Seeing that she had no objections, Qin Wenzheng nodded in satisfaction. “Aren’t you going to the prefectural city to open a shop? You don’t have to worry about no one taking care of him. However, before you go, get your father to prepare himself. Mountain Elder Qi is very strict.”

Gu Yundong smiled. “I know.”

Qin Wenzheng gave her a pile of books and asked her to bring them back for Gu Dajiang to read.

Gu Yundong thanked Qin Wenzheng sincerely, but the other party snorted. “Bring me a few more cans later. Our Anning likes it.”

It was obvious that he liked it, but he still insisted on pushing it to his daughter. This guy was indeed shameless.

Gu Yundong responded and went to look for Gu Dajiang. The two of them returned to Yongfu Village.

After she handed the books to Gu Dajiang and told him Qin Wenzheng’s suggestion, Gu Dajiang, who was sitting in the carriage, was slightly stunned. He looked at the books and did not say anything for a long time.

“Dad?”

Gu Dajiang placed his trembling fingers on the pile of books. In the past, it was a rare and luxurious thing for him to read so many books.

Now that these books were in front of him and he could look through them freely, Gu Dajiang hesitated.

Of course, he yearned for it, but…

Gu Dajiang sighed softly and looked up at Gu Yundong with a smile. “Yundong, I know how you feel. It’s just that I’m already so old and have long passed the age to study. I won’t go to the academy.”

Gu Yundong frowned. How could he be no longer motivated to study? He was clearly so excited when he saw Qin Wenzheng previously and chatted with him happily.

Gu Dajiang smiled and said, “You used to take care of your mother and Yunshu and Yunke. Now, you even have to make arrangements for your father? You have a lot to take care of at such a young age.”

Gu Dajiang had been back for two to three days. He saw the villagers’ attitude towards Yundong, visited the shop and workshop, and went to the orchard.

Not only did he see the Gu family’s huge business, but he also saw Gu Yundong’s hard work and responsibilities.

However, she was only 15 years old. Her shoulders were so tender, but she worked so hard to support this family.

As a father, these were his responsibilities. Whether it was earning money to support his family or educating his children, these were all things he should carry out.

In the past, when he was not around, Yundong had no choice but to move forward.

Now that he was back, he wanted his daughter to rest and not be so tired. She was not alone anymore. She could rely on him.

Perhaps he did not have Yundong’s talent in business, but he also wanted to help her share the burden so that she could have more time to rest.

Instead of exploiting her and even asking her to spend money to send him to the prefectural city to study.

She was already in charge of Yunshu’s school fees. Could it be that she had to be in charge of his?

It didn’t make sense!!

“Alright, I’ll return the books to Master Qin another day. It’s enough for Yunshu to study in our family.”
