Chapter 1256 Huo Tianning Is Half Dead (1)
Gu Yuncheng was their son; it was only right that he support them in their old age.
She was the Gu family’s daughter-in-law. It was only right that she take care of the old folks, but she did not have that much time!
Gu Qingyao laughed. “As for that! It depends on your choice. If you really want to choose a career, it is also feasible. The two children are not that young, and they don’t need their mother to watch over them twenty-four hours a day. It’s the same for Grandfather and Grandma. They have servants to take care of them at home. The family have always lived at home, and they will go home after work. They can’t be said to be lonely.
“If you stay at home, they will only have an even better life. Right now, the two children are at a playful age and need to be disciplined. If parents are not careful now, they may develop bad habits that will be impossible to eradicate when they grow up.”
Gu Qingyao did not give Ji Mingyue any concrete suggestions because she was well aware of what Ji Mingyue’s final decision would be.
Everyone in the Gu family wanted to better themselves. Not one of them was lazy. Everyone was fighting for the family and themselves.
Second Cousin’s job was too crucial. It affected the Gu family’s future, as well as the future of Ji Mingyue’s two sons, their status, and his parents’ status. It was too important.
Right now, Second Uncle Gu Yuncheng was the pillar of the Gu family. His position was the highest. Although Second Aunt’s position was lower, it was still a good one.
The two of them were really doing very well in their careers.
They must not give up jobs like that. They must certainly carry on until they retire, which would give Second Cousin a longer runway to mature.
Fourth Cousin had his own company, and it affected the Gu family’s wealth. If everyone wanted a prosperous life, they would need the support of Fourth Cousin’s wealth.
So family matters fell to Ji Mingyue.
Gu Qingyao was sure that Ji Mingyue would choose family. She would certainly stay home like a virtuous woman and take care of the children and old folks.
At this time, society was still quite conservative, and women were considered to be less important. The majority of women took care of their families.
Ji Mingyue’s family was not as powerful as the Gu family, and her own career was not brilliant. Second Cousin, Gu Jinhang, was just too outstanding. Both his family background and his abilities were top-notch. Plenty of people out there was keeping a close watch on Gu Jinhang.
So Ji Mingyue was under a lot of pressure.
This was why Ji Mingyue hoped for a son when she was pregnant. In families like those, sons held a higher position.
Now she had two sons, and her position was secure. She did not need to work so hard to build her career and neglect her family, which would displease her mother-in-law.
The Gu family did not restrict her. She could have a small sideline while she took care of the family. After weighing the pros and cons, Ji Mingyue would certainly prioritize her family.
Sure enough, Ji Mingyue remained silent for a long time before she said, “I had better take care of the children first! Those two naughty children are just too mischievous. Your second cousin is so busy. Although he is very strict with them, the children do as they please when he’s at work. If I don’t keep an eye on them, they might get spoilt!”
A mother’s glory was her children!
Her children’s future accomplishments would determine her status in the family. And these were her own children. No matter what, she must groom them carefully so that they would succeed.
