The Gu family was in the courtyard admiring the moon with Gu Jiaojiao and her husband. They knew Eldest Brother Gu wasn't doing well, but they had no idea just how miserable he was.
But Gu Jiaojiao knew the full story, because the second uncle of the Dong family would mention things when he came home.
Dong Baozhu would tell Su Qinchun, and Su Qinchun would then tell her sister-in-law over the phone.
Gu Jiaojiao looked at her grandpa, her parents, and her Second Brother, all of them looking so happy. 'Why should I tell them and just make them worry for nothing!'
'Everyone chooses what kind of life they want to lead. The path of life is long; it's really just a journey of refining one's character.'
'The harder things get, the more you have to fortify your spirit, keep your emotions in check, and bravely push forward.'
'Look at Eldest Brother Gu, putting on airs and trying to provide for his adopted sister with what little ability he has. If he isn't miserable, then who is!'
