Traveling to Daliang Kingdom starts from falling into the water

Chapter 1010 Just These Two Sons
With only two sons, it's hard to send one away to be cared for and die in someone else's old age, but it's not like the child owes Doctor Dong a debt of gratitude.

Without Dr. Dong's meticulous guidance and careful planning, how could his young son have become a resident doctor at the Huimin Medical Clinic in town?

While it's true that Erlang was intelligent and eager to learn, it was also thanks to Doctor Dong who first used his ancestral medical skills to teach Erlang step by step.

If Doctor Dong really wants to take Erlang back to his hometown, it's not easy to stop him, nor should it be. The little bird has grown up, its wings have feathers, and it's time for it to learn to fly.

Once it can fly, it will eventually return to its nest after flying far away. Dr. Dong is quite old after all. I want to stay with Dr. Dong for a few more years. I'm only forty.

Besides, although Doctor Dong's temperament is a bit eccentric, he has a good heart. Even if Erlang insists on accompanying him back to his old home, he won't keep Erlang there for long.

As Gu Erzhu thought to himself, he slowly shook his head at Ma Dazhuang, who was walking beside him, "It's still a long way off, there's no need to worry about the child not being under our watchful eyes."

After all, the child has grown up and is no longer alone as a child. Now he has a wife and children, so it's not so easy for him to leave. His master will naturally take care of him.

When it really comes to the time when Erlang has to go out with his master for a few years, we can let Huniu accompany Erlang. The road is under our feet, and we're not incapable of walking.

Besides, what kind of place is this? It's right next to the capital, a vital area, isn't it better than Doctor Dong's hometown? Maybe his son will even move here later.”

“Who wouldn’t want to stay in their hometown? The whole family has left their homes and moved here. It’s not like they couldn’t make a living and had no choice but to come and rely on their father.”

Hey, they're really going at it now!
Although I don't know how the feng shui is in Dr. Dong's hometown, where else can you find such a good location as ours? Do you know what it means to be close to the capital and have mountains and water?
Do you know how the previous dynasty fell?

If the world falls into chaos one day, and war breaks out everywhere in the Great Liang, and even the capital cannot be saved, we will have no choice but to take refuge in these mountains.

But can you really say that?

Sigh, don't worry about anything. Doctor Dong's children have written to him quite a few times. If he wanted to go back, he would have gone back long ago. It's not like he only thought about going back after Brother Song came to visit.

If it's that easy to persuade someone, then Dr. Dong must be possessed by a ghost.

"Forget it, I can't explain it to you." Seeing that the Gu family's servants were getting closer and closer, Ma Dazhuang decisively turned to look at his son-in-law. "Second son, as your father-in-law, let me make this clear to you first: if you want to leave with your master anytime soon, you need to come and tell me a month or two in advance."

No matter what, when I betrothed my daughter to you, I didn't expect you to become successful. I just wanted my daughter to marry someone nearby so she could live a peaceful life.

You want to go with your master, and I don't think your father will stop you. As your father-in-law, I'm even less likely to stop you from pursuing your bright future. But what about my daughter, Tiger Girl?
Logically speaking, a woman should follow her husband wherever he goes, whether he takes her with him or not should be up to him. But I only have one daughter, and she's not very bright.

When your parents came to propose marriage, what I liked about you was that your parents cherished Tiger Girl. With your parents protecting her, I wasn't afraid that Tiger Girl would suffer any injustice.

"Tiger Girl wants to go with you, which sounds like a good thing, that you'll be more successful. But my Tiger Girl is unlucky, you might as well let my daughter go back to her parents' home—"

"Uncle Ma!" Gu Wenxuan had to interrupt when he heard this. "My good uncle, why are you saying this? You don't believe my brother, and you don't believe me either."

I only have one older brother, how could I let him get away? Who is closer to me than my older brother? I only have one brother, would I let him stay far away from me?

Don't worry, even if my brother has to go out with his master, I will arrange for people to keep an eye on him. If he doesn't come back, I will bring him back.

Besides, what are you laughing at? Are you willing to let your sister-in-law suffer? There's one thing between my two brothers, and I can't compare to my brother in anything, except for one thing, where my brother is definitely no match for me.

"He's not as thick-skinned as me. I've always been very open about how much I love my wife. But my brother is different. He's so thin-skinned that he only ever shows off how great my sister-in-law is in front of me!" Gu Erlang shook his head and smiled after being rebuked. He hesitated for a moment, wanting his brother to finish speaking, when he heard him "spreading rumors."

"Last time, I said my wife makes really nice clothes, and my older brother replied, 'Your sister-in-law is also very skillful. Look at what I'm wearing, you don't have any, do you?'"

After saying that, Gu Wenxuan leaned closer to Ma Dazhuang and said, "Listen to what he's saying. I don't even care to talk about my brother. He's just showing off because my wife didn't make me shoes."

And remember last time, during the first month of the lunar calendar, my sister-in-law made some candy? It was clearly my wife's idea, but my brother insisted that she was the one who suggested it first.

To shut me up and make my sister-in-law happy, my brother even said in front of my parents that I was stealing credit from my sister-in-law to please my wife. Tell me, isn't that infuriating?

"Hahaha..." Ma Dazhuang laughed so hard he slapped Gu Wenxuan's arm hard. "You naughty boy, you're doing this again!"

"Just a pat is enough," Gu Wenxuan said, startled as the second slap was about to land. He quickly stepped aside, saying, "Look, the son-in-law is still the best."

"Father, Liu Lang said you're on your brother-in-law's side."

“It’s not that it should be this way. Your brother-in-law is, after all, half a son of mine. I’m only letting this bad boy bully your brother-in-law because I’m doing this out of respect for your second uncle.”

So now you know your son-in-law is practically your son? Gu Erzhu, who was called out, glanced at him with a wry smile. To put it bluntly, he was the one who said the harsh words, but to put it nicely, he was his in-law.

"I didn't misjudge him, did I? You can tell a lot about a person's future at three and their character at seven. I told you long ago that your sixth son isn't bad at talking, he's just too lazy to talk to people, not that he doesn't know how to coax them."

When he came to me that year, I could tell this naughty boy was a shrewd young man. Otherwise, would I have said early on that his two sons were each worth five of mine?

"Wrong, Tiger Girl isn't your son. You only have four sons," Gu Erzhu laughed. "You're exaggerating. All the children in our family are good children."

Ma Dazhuang doesn't deny that his sons have all been good kids since they were young, but now that they're older, they can't compare to the two bad boys from the Gu family.

It's not that these two naughty boys are good at being doctors, nor that the three top doctors at Zhongxiao are promising; it's that their filial piety is unmatched and cannot be compared.

To put it bluntly, he amassed a fortune for his son, and his in-laws gave him a family business, yet the son they raised is exceptionally filial.

Not only are the sons all extremely filial, but the daughters-in-law are also exceptionally filial.

It's not surprising that his daughter, Hu Niu, is filial; she's always been a filial child. But San Ya, that child, actually asks her parents-in-law for advice on everything that happens in the workshop.

It's rare.

A girl who rose through the ranks in the inner quarters of a wealthy family, who doesn't look down on her in-laws, actually wants them to make all the decisions for her.

This also meant that no one in the Zhou family dared to look down on their in-laws, and they were still very close as in-laws. Erzhuzi's good fortune was truly boundless.
