Chapter 12 The Birth of an Actor
It is said that people are afraid of being famous as pigs are afraid of being strong. Gu Lanxi's first serious "entrepreneurship" was soon discouraged by her elders because she became famous too quickly.
Even though she never eats grass next to her home and always avoids the area where the Gu family is located, Guangzhou is such a big city and there are so many relatives in the Gu family. In addition, many of them are top-level telephone porridge players like her grandma. I don't have to worry about food or clothing at night. Apart from playing cards and doing beauty treatments, I love nothing more than gossiping.
Soon, the Gu family received news one after another.
Many people in the Gu family are doing a prosperous business, and no matter how bad they are, they still have a few buildings to collect rent, but their own children are like little beggars, going around "begging", especially when her family is in such a situation. People take care of their families secretly.
Such a big family cannot support an orphan girl.
Tsk~
The rumors were getting worse and worse, and everyone couldn't bear it, but her mother died in such a violent way that during that time, everyone didn't want to deal with her for fear of getting into trouble.
Some people even secretly said that she was too tough and almost killed her whole family.
So the pressure was immediately put on the clan leader.
The clan elder is cunning and cunning, and he knows that if he doesn't take the opportunity to temper her temper, it will be even harder to discipline her in the future.
So I frequently invited old friends to have tea, and I would often lament the misfortune of my family in front of others.
I thought that since this girl was raised in her hometown since she was a child, she wouldn't be led astray by her terrible biological father, but she didn't expect that she was fundamentally evil.
If you insist on doing a low-level job, competing with the Tick Man for work, let the elders like them talk about it, but it won't make any difference.
When the patriarch's uncle was chatting with the old sisters, she wiped her tears and said that she had been cooking for Gu Lanxi for so long, but she never got a single good look.
They also said that Gu Lanxi was unfilial. Not only did she start lavishing money on food and fish right after the funeral, but she also played "Xi Yang Yang" at home every day.
Gu Lanxi is only twelve years old, and she doesn't know how to hide her emotions, let alone manage her image consciously. Most of the time, she does things based on instinct.
She didn't have much love for the three elders, and even harbored hatred. She couldn't be a filial son and grandson.
This is the first time I have seen how the human heart can be so sinister.
After Gu Lanxi bit her old quilt and cried for a few days, she finally understood what "I am weak and I am right" means.
So she quickly put on a pitiful skin for herself, and then embarked on the road of acting and began image management.
There is no shortage of good people in this world.
Every time she saw Gu Lanxi, someone would stop her and ask her in a joking tone, how is business going recently?
Gu Lanxi was growing taller at that time, but her weight couldn't keep up. She looked tall and thin, as if the wind was just a little stronger and she could be blown away.
Whenever this happened, she would hold her clothes in embarrassment, lower her head slightly for a few seconds, and then raise her head again, her eyes would be red.
Then I couldn’t shed my tears, even more Qiong Yao than Qiong Yao, and told people in a gentle voice:
"My grandpa and grandma are all mad at my dad. If I starve to death or freeze to death, no one will burn paper for them during the Qingming Festival next year."
It was late autumn at that time, and the temperature was more than ten degrees in the morning and evening, but Gu Lanxi was still wearing thin old clothes, standing in the cold morning breeze, shivering visibly, but her words were particularly heart-warming:
"Fortunately, my elders at home treat me very well. They often buy me clothes and even invite me to their homes for dinner. But now that I'm old enough, I have to learn to live on my own. It's important to go out and work to make money. I have to go there myself, and it has nothing to do with the elders. Don’t believe what people outside say.”
Others asked her, why don't you wear new clothes? I see that you seem to have lost a lot of weight recently.
She trembled her lips, held on to her last bit of dignity, and stubbornly told others:
"There are a lot of new clothes. I just keep them for the New Year. I haven't lost weight. You see, I have gained a lot of weight! I eat three bowls of rice every meal!"
You are not blind. Anyone with eyes knows whether she has lost weight or not.
I don’t know whether what she said is true or not. If there is enough oil and water, who would eat three bowls of rice at a meal these days?
Other children at this age might still be pestering adults to watch more TV, but she is so sensible.
Even though he stopped her at first just to keep an eye on the family, after a few words, he couldn't help but feel distressed.
Some neighbors wanted to support her, but she refused. Every time, she told lies, saying that her elders treated her very well. Gu Lanxi was probably born to work in the entertainment industry. At that time, she didn't even understand what crisis public relations was. She could handle it well with a little use of her brain.
He was so angry that he couldn't even express a single complaint.
If Gu Weihao's skills were ten ways inferior to hers, these people were probably at least three points inferior to hers.
Gradually, the Gu family found that no matter what they said, no one believed them. Sometimes they would even be pointed at their noses and scolded, saying they had lost their conscience.
They didn't know the situation at first, but after hearing what others said, no matter how mean they were, they couldn't help but be speechless.
Compared with Gu Lanxi, the elders like them seem to be really bad, and they are not unfair at all when they are scolded.
He was probably feeling guilty. Every household bought something for Gu Lanxi, including food and clothing, and he would carry it around for a few times while buying.
Someone even offered her a house to move into.
But she didn't want to owe anyone a favor, didn't want to cooperate with them in their drama, and didn't want to make them feel better, so she refused.
Since she was already at home, she didn't bother to bother.
After school every day, I would go to the Zhang family's time-honored seafood restaurant to stay there, and if there was a happy event, I would go and do some business.
Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!
That restaurant is only two blocks away from Gu's ancestral hall.
The clan leader endured it again and again, but when he saw that her business was not in decline, but that some people were still worried about her situation, he paid a lot of money to pay for her services when the family was doing things, so he finally decided not to endure it any longer.
On this day, Gu Lanxi passed by the patriarch's house when he was going home. He finally walked out tremblingly with a cane and called her.
Gu Lanxi turned sideways slightly, lowered her head in fear, and listened to his instructions.
The words were not euphemistic, but the meaning was very clear. Because he was deaf and spoke loudly, not only Gu Lanxi understood it, but also all the people passing by.
He just thought it was embarrassing for her to do this and asked her to calm down.
Faced with the patriarch's aggressiveness, she tried to calm down her voice and try not to contain any negative emotions.
She said that she had to learn to live independently so that her grandparents could feel at ease.
She said that relying on others to live is not a long-term solution after all.
What's even more annoying is that she added: "Thanks to my uncle for teaching me these principles early. When I see my grandpa in a few years, he will definitely thank you!"
Guangwei's words were upright and his tone remained calm from beginning to end, but he was so angry that the clan leader almost lost his temper!
Dida man, also known as trumpet maker in the Northeast, is a person who plays suona at weddings and weddings. In the old days, it was a low-class profession.
The Gu family has a long heritage and prides itself on being of the upper class, but looks down upon these low-class people. The whole family feels embarrassed when Sister Gu does such a thing.
But she is a money-oriented person and doesn’t think there’s anything wrong with doing this.
She is young now and cannot find a legitimate job. Relatives at home occasionally give her some money, which is like charity. On the one hand, she has high self-esteem. On the other hand, these random incomes are not stable.
Some people know how to think about the future calmly and rationally and fight for it at the age of twelve, while some people still don’t understand anything at the age of twelve and only think about cartoons every day.
A person's growth is related to personal qualifications and living environment.
This problem is too complicated, and I don’t have much experience.
