After the dumplings were cooked, Chu Qiao asked Gu Ye to take a large bowl downstairs to share with Xu Sanqiang and the others. 

All four of them were so considerate, they would rather cook noodles themselves than come over for meals. 

Whenever Chu Qiao made something delicious, she would have Gu Ye deliver it to them.  

After dinner, Gu Ye went to meet Tang Yaozu, bringing two doses of the hair growth treatment with him. 

The Tang family had just finished their meal. 

Tang Weiguo squatted on the ground and watched his brother Jianguo eat his meat soup and rice, mumbling under his breath. 

“Jianguo, you can’t be too picky. Why didn’t you like the black girl we introduced you to today? You even snapped at her. Comrade Tang Jianguo, we’re men. We need to behave gentlemanly, right? Acting like this will not help you find a wife. Do you want to end up with no descendants?”  

Gu Ye overheard the guy’s rambling and couldn’t help but laugh. 

What a ridiculous thing to talk to a dog as if it understood human language?  

Jianguo let out a few frustrated grumbles. 

He despised it when people talked near him while he was eating. 

That black girl was downright ugly, how could she ever be a match for someone as handsome as him?  

Gu Ye cleared his throat. 

Tang Weiguo noticed him and called into the house, “Dad, Uncle Gu is here!”

As soon as the words fell, Tang Yaozu emerged. 

When he saw his son, he yelled, “Are you finished eating? Go finish your homework! You’re in your senior year of high school, not studying or doing anything. Can’t you aim for a passing grade? Every time someone asks about your grades, I’m embarrassed to answer. Even Jianguo would do better if he went to school! What’s going on in your head?”  

*Jianguo was the name of a dog that was raised by Tang Weiguo. 

“A tofu mush!”  

Tang Weiguo retorted irritably and, before Tang Yaozu exploded, he dashed upstairs like a gust of wind. 

He had no intention of doing homework, the sight of assignment books gave him a headache and shortened his lifespan. 

Anyway, he wasn’t planning to take the college entrance exam, so why push himself so hard?  

The phrase ‘enduring adversity through study’ referred to pupils from low-income families.

He was not one of them, he knew how to choose his parents. With a wealthy father and an influential grandfather who adored him, why should he struggle?

He was born near a finish line that many people may never reach in their lifetime. So, why should he live such a stressful life?

It wasn’t like his brain was a tofu mush.

*Tofu mush: Someone with a squishy, weak, or useless brain, similar to crumbled tofu. It suggests foolishness or incompetence, but in a light, amusing manner rather than severe profanity.

Tang Yaozu shouted a few more curses upstairs, though he wasn’t truly angry. 

The Tang family had never been blessed with academic genes, nor his wife’s side. 

However, his son’s grades were unexpectedly poor, to the point where he was embarrassed to even talk about them. They were simply not worth mentioning.  

What annoyed him the most was that the kid was obviously intelligent, yet he refused to prove himself.

He swiftly picked up unconventional skills but showed no interest in proper studies. 

If he put even half the effort into learning that he did into chasing girls, then his grades wouldn’t be this bad.  

“Haven’t you already decided to send Weiguo abroad? He doesn’t need to take the college entrance exam anyway, so why get so worked up?” 

Gu Ye tried to console him.  

“But that doesn’t mean he should skip his homework every day! All he does is waste time. ‘Time is gold’, I’m just worried this kid won’t even be able to hold onto the family fortune. Then all of my efforts would be in vain.” 

Tang Yaozu sighed.

He didn’t expect his son to achieve great things. He simply wanted him to keep the family business he worked so hard to build.

What worried him now was that the kid might turn out to be a spendthrift. 

Then by the time he grew old and could no longer work, the boy might squander everything he had built.
