Super Farming Tycoon Chapter 285 Mighty Grandpa Gu!

285 Mighty Grandpa Gu!
On the surface, Gu Shaobai was the leader when they returned to the old residence to test the waters. However, Gu Shaobai knew that he was just the one who stood out.
Before they could start probing, they were ruthlessly pressed back by Gu Jianguo and his wife.
The people watching from behind lowered their heads slightly and remained silent.
Among the collateral branches, Gu Shaobai was the best. His family also set up a company, but it was much smaller than the Gu Corporation. It was a medium-sized company with hundreds of millions of assets.
However, compared to the huge Gu Corporation, it was nothing.
Therefore, Gu Shaobai’s family coveted the main family’s family business.
This time, Gu Jianguo and his wife were also telling everyone not to have any ideas about the Gu Corporation. Their every move was in their hands. What right did they have to attack the empire that the Gu family had worked hard to build for generations?
So what if he had a daughter?
His daughter would still inherit the Gu Corporation.
Grandpa Gu stood up from the armchair with a serious and fierce expression.
His sharp gaze swept across everyone present and he said coldly, “Today is the second day of the Lunar New Year. The day of the Gu family’s ancestral worship is also a big day for our Gu family. I hope that this day can pass peacefully. Otherwise, don’t blame me, Gu Licheng, for turning my back on you!”
At this moment, a slightly chubby middle-aged man stood out and said with a fawning smile, “Uncle, don’t be angry! We’re here to worship our ancestors. Let’s go to the ancestral hall now.”
As soon as he finished speaking, the others echoed, “Yes, yes, we’re here to worship our ancestors! Let’s go to the ancestral hall. Don’t miss the time!”
Many people thought to themselves, “We’ll talk about those things after the ancestral worship!”
Hmph, the Gu family only had one girl. If she really inherited the Gu family’s huge foundation, it was unknown if the Gu family’s business would still be surnamed Gu a hundred years later.
There were many dirty things going on in wealthy families.
Grandpa Gu’s family walked in front, followed by the collateral branches.
Looking at their luxurious clothes, jealousy flashed across the eyes of most of the people behind them.
The Gu family had the same ancestors as them. How could the Gu family be so rich to live such a good life? Wasn’t it because of the protection of their ancestors? When their ancestors split the family assets, they left them with enough capital.
The group quickly arrived at the main ancestral hall.
On the offering table in the ancestral hall was a Gu Family Manual. There was a memorial tablet on both sides. This was the ancestral memorial tablet of the Gu Family.
On the short offering table below, there were some tributes, cigarettes, wine, tea, fruits, desserts, a rooster, and a pig head.
Grandpa Gu and his wife lit the incense first, followed by Gu Jianguo and his wife. After that, they lined up one after another.
After lighting the incense, if there were more children at home, they had to be added to the family tree. One had to announce that his ancestors had a successor!
The Gu family’s ancestral worship was between five and seven in the morning.
Today’s ancestral worship was at seven o’clock.
After the entire ceremony, it was already nine o’clock.
According to tradition, everyone could leave after breakfast in the old residence.
Butler Zhou had already instructed the servants to prepare a Chinese breakfast. There were buns, fried dough sticks, soy milk, porridge, and other dishes.
For some people who were used to Western-style breakfast, this breakfast was simply unpresentable.
At this moment, there were four large round tables in the dining hall.
There were ten people at each table.
At the main table were the four members of the Gu family and some elders who were older or of the same generation as Grandpa Gu.
Every year, there would be three to four people.
However, this year, for some reason, the people who came to worship their ancestors were all younger people. They were not qualified to sit at the main table.
Gu Qingming did not return this year, so only Grandpa Gu and his wife, Gu Jianguo, were at the main table today.
They arranged the remaining three tables at will.
Of course, most of them would definitely choose to sit at a table with people they were on good terms with.
After everyone sat down, a few people frowned when they saw the buns and fried dough sticks on the dining table. They immediately revealed disdainful expressions.
“How can you eat these things for breakfast? It’s simply degrading!” A fashionable girl in her twenties said with a disgusted expression, “I eat Western food at home!”
After she finished speaking, she expected them to prepare Western food for her!
As soon as she finished speaking, a few ten-year-old children began to complain that they didn’t want to eat these things. They wanted to eat ham, eggs, sandwiches, milk pancakes, and so on. When they didn’t, they cried and shouted.
The children coaxed each other, and the scene became very chaotic.
The parents of those children could not bear to reprimand them at all. They could not even bear to say anything harsh.
They coaxed the children softly first, but the more they coaxed them, the bigger the commotion.
Then, there was a woman with wavy burgundy hair and a platinum diamond necklace around her neck. She was wearing a white fur coat as if she was showing off her family’s wealth.
She had painted her lips red and revealed a very dissatisfied expression. She said loudly, “We eat these Chinese breakfasts every year. What’s so good about it? Why is it degrading? Can’t we prepare Western breakfast? Butler Zhou, quickly get someone to prepare some Western breakfast now. Hurry up and go. Don’t make us wait too long. It’s already past nine o’clock. We’re hungry!”
Listening to her words, it was obvious that not only did she regard Butler Zhou as a servant, but she also clearly did not take the main family seriously. It was natural for her to order Butler Zhou around.
When Grandpa Gu and the others heard this, their expressions instantly turned ugly.
Grandpa Gu put down his chopsticks heavily.
His sharp eyes swept across those people again and he said coldly, “Here, there’s only cheap Chinese breakfast. There’s no Western breakfast that befits your noble status! If you don’t like it, you can choose not to eat it!”
Grandpa Gu was very dignified.
When his face turned serious, the children became a little afraid and their crises immediately became softer.
“Also, since you despise Chinese breakfast, you don’t have to come again in the future. This way, you won’t appear to eat degrading food!” Grandpa Gu said seriously.
As soon as Grandpa Gu finished speaking, the expressions of the adults present changed. This was especially obvious with Gu Shaobai’s cousin, Gu Qinglan, who despised the breakfast, and Gu Chengkun’s wife, Yu Qingqing. Their faces turned pale.
The fact that they could come to the Gu family’s old residence was a representation of their status in the family.
If they could not come to the Gu family’s old residence in the future, they would definitely be mocked by the people at home.
Gu Qinglan bit her lip and said in an aggrieved tone, “Grandfather, I… I’ve been studying abroad for a long time, so I’m used to Western breakfast!”
“Hmph, it’s not that you’re used to Western-style breakfast, but you think that eating Western-style breakfast means that you have self-restraint and are superior to the Chinese. What you despise is not Chinese-style breakfast, but your identity as a Chinese!” Grandpa Gu said sharply, “Since you think that foreign food is good and foreigners have a higher status than others, our old residence won’t hold you back. You don’t have to come to the ancestral worship in the future. It’s the same for you guys. If you think that Chinese-style breakfast is bad, you don’t have to come again!”
Everyone was speechless.
