"Moreover, your aunt and I have been staying at an inn, which isn't cheap. The cost of the rooms is really high, and our family isn't well-off. If it weren't for your support in recent times, we might have ended up on the streets."

Gu Chengyu put down his teacup and looked at Gu Changbai and them until they both felt a chill in their hearts, then he finally spoke.
"Second Uncle! My father and the others haven't seen you for many years. Don't you want to return to your hometown? The expense in the Capital is high, as you know.
