Gu Dexing was unhappy, his face looked very unpleasant, sitting silently without saying a word.
Previously, he wanted to be apprenticed to Scholar Shang, but Scholar Shang didn't accept him and had written him a letter advising him to attend the town's private school for ten years which might enable him to attain an official position. But now, his father was making him go to Songzi Gully to study with Xu Tongsheng, which was clearly a deliberate attempt to discipline him.
Gu Dafu was indeed trying to discipline him, to suppress his ambitions lest he becomes uncontrollable.
Seeing Gu Dexing wearing a sulky face again, Gu Dafu got annoyed and directly said, "If you don't want to study at Xu Tongsheng's private school, then don't study. Just stay at home and farm."
Where would Gu Dexing want to farm at home, he knew how hard it was to toil in the fields, so he could only nod in agreement.
Seeing her big brother nodding, Gu Yumei had no choice but to agree as well.
