Gu Wenheng had truly prepared a grand feast. The table was laden with chicken, duck, fish, and meat—practically everything one could wish for. And it was all served on large platters; just a few of them were enough to cover the entire table.
After a few rounds of drinks, Gu Wenheng finally raised his cup to his older brothers. "Ever since we settled in Gaoling Village, I've had to trouble you all with looking after Father and Mother..."
This long declaration of gratitude made the Gu brothers feel a sense of unity they had never felt before. The ideal of brotherly love and respect was no longer just a tale of other families.
Seeing his brothers were visibly moved, Gu Wenheng changed his tune and began to lament his own struggles, explaining that being the successful son of a farming family wasn't as glamorous as it seemed.
He began to recount how he had to study with extreme diligence, and how much effort and hardship Jin Qianqian had endured for their family.
