In her previous life, these older cousins had all done fairly well. They were much more capable than average. Otherwise, the Gu family wouldn’t have prospered and gained so much honor in later years.
But in this life where she was reborn!
When she re-examined them now, she saw that her older cousins had wasted a lot of time and had not yet fulfilled their potential. When they met others who were at the top of their profession, they wouldn’t be able to succeed with such ease.
Gu Qingyao thought that she must stimulate her older cousins a little so that they could improve. Just a little. Otherwise, her rebirth would not benefit her older cousins much!
As she improved, she wanted to help her older cousins to improve too!
In the future, no matter how much wealth she brought her family, it would not be as valuable as their strong innate talents.
How well Mo Beihan understood Gu Qingyao!
Of course, he knew what Gu Qingyao was thinking.
So…
“I can draw a little too, but not as well as you. Only a little better than average. I spend my time learning other things.”
Gu Qingyao raised her brows. “What other things?”
“Foreign languages and some professional knowledge of economics. That includes physics and so on. Now there are no pathways for learning these things anymore. Those older folks in the cowshed know so much, I often go over and learn from them. They are really good at teaching and guiding.
“I only spent a little time learning from them, and they already taught me many things.”
Gu Qingyao’s eyes gleamed in amusement. “Oh? You’ve learnt many things? How many foreign languages are you learning now?”
Mo Beihan said, “Mainly English, but I’m also learning German and French. I can almost speak the languages. Do you want to hear me speak those?”
Gu Qingyao burst out laughing. “No need. If you say you can do it, I’m sure you can. You must be quite proficient in these languages if you claim to be able to speak them.”
Mo Beihan had been intelligent in his previous life, and later on, he had become very learned. Because of the nature of his job, he traveled to many places and made friends with many people. So he needed to know many things.
She remembered that Mo Beihan knew at least a dozen languages and was fluent in many of them. He knew some simple words in others, and could just about understand them.
He also knew some dialects and a few languages of minority people groups.
If he hadn’t been so capable, he could not have attracted her for so many years.
Gu Qingyao smiled. “I’m learning those too. My teacher says I’m progressing well! And my father has been studying very hard lately and also learning medicine from my teacher! He’s also learning foreign languages. His teacher says he’s an especially fast learner. I’m planning to get my younger aunt to learn with him.
“Those older folks are so knowledgeable. If we just learn a little from them, it will stand us in good stead in the future!”
The two of them were chatting calmly while the three older cousins gaped!
Mo Beihan already knew so much!
At some point, the gap between them had grown so big?
How could that be?
As the older ones, how could they fall behind their younger brother-in-law?
How would they maintain their lofty images in the mind of their younger cousin?
No way, absolutely no way!
So the entire Gu family gradually immersed itself in frantic learning. The three older cousins were especially diligent. They were only here for the new year break. Once their vacation was over, they would have to go back to work.
The older folks lived in their hometown. Once they left, it would not be convenient to learn from them.
