At the agreed time, Lu Fengnian drove his Liberation SUV and took Lu Ting and Lu Jin to the Lu family courtyard.

Lu Xiangqian was a little surprised to see his son had brought Lu Ting and Lu Jin with him. It seemed that he cared a lot about this newly adopted son.

"Dad, we're here."

"grandfather."

"Grandpa." Brothers Lu Ting and Lu Jin also greeted Lu Xiangqian.

"Since it's open, take a seat! Lu Ting, go lock the gate. Your grandma won't be back today. I gave her a few dozen yuan and asked her to stay with your aunt for two days."

Lu Fengnian smiled awkwardly, "You are really rich, even spending money to coax your wife to go to your daughter's house to play."

Lu Xiangqian rolled his eyes at Lu Fengnian in annoyance, "Who am I doing this for? Isn't it for you? Did you hear Ting'er say that you are not her biological child?"

I get angry when I talk about Lu Fengnian. Who is his father doing this for? He will be fifty in a few years, and his father has been hiding it for more than forty years.

"Thanks to you, I didn't realize I wasn't her biological child until I was in my forties."

"What do you mean, kid? It was your grandfather who didn't let me tell you the truth.

Your grandfather said that if you knew that you were not her biological child and that all your brothers and sisters were hers, you would feel inferior and like an outsider.

So, hiding the truth from him was for his own good? If he had known from the beginning that it was his aunt who raised him, he would have treated her the same way his aunt treated him.

There will be respect and courtesy, but not so much sincerity. I will treat you the way you treat me. It is right to treat others with sincerity.

Unfortunately, he always treated her as his own mother. Even if she didn't like his wife very much, he never said a word to her no matter how dissatisfied he was.

"Dad, how would you feel if you were kept in the dark for decades? My aunt came into the family not long after my biological mother died, right?

She hasn't even looked at my wife in the eye these past few years, and has always asked her to do all the work. She never gave Xiao Min a single piece of jewelry when she married in, so is she still after my mother's dowry?

As Lu Fengnian spoke, his eyes turned red. Lu Xiangqian stood up without saying anything and said, "Come with me."

Lu Xiangqian took Lu Fengnian to the side room in the west wing and opened the door with his key.

"Is this a brick bed or a small granary? Dad, what do you want me to see?

"What earthen kang? Lift up the wooden planks and see what's inside."

At this time, Lu Ting also walked in, "Dad, please move aside, let me do it!"

Lu Jin also came over to help. The two of them worked together to lift the wooden board. They were delighted to see the three mahogany boxes inside. It seemed that what grandpa said was true. Grandma's dowry was hidden under this pit.

"Dad, I am my mother's dowry. Is it all here?"

"All the valuables are here. The quilts, covers, and silk... those can't be kept. You don't suspect that I gave the valuables to your two brothers, do you?

Don't worry, the key to this house has always been in your grandfather's hands. He gave it to me after he passed away."

Lu Fengnian didn’t know whether to believe it or not. Anyway, he had no idea what or how many good things his mother had left for him.

It’s not safe to keep the things here, so let’s move them back and bury them in our own yard!

"Dad, you should tell your descendants about this house. To prevent Auntie from misunderstanding, this yard is as you said. Lu Ting is my eldest son, and I will leave this yard to him.

Xiaojin, since you're here too, I'll tell you the truth. Your father has four sons and can't afford to prepare a yard for each of you.

Even if our whole family moves in later, it's no problem for us to live together. There are enough rooms anyway, but in the end, this yard will be registered under your eldest brother's name. Is that okay with you?"

"Dad, I have no objection."

He is the second son of the Lu family and has two younger brothers. The ancestral house has been passed down from generation to generation and inherited by the eldest son. They have no objection, so why should he have any objection?

"That's good. We'll go back and look at the things in the box. Dad won't treat you guys unfairly."

Lu Ting originally wanted to open the box and take a look, but after hearing what his father said, he paused and decided to go back and take a look!

Lu Xiangqian was very pleased to see that his two grandsons listened so much to his son. His son was decisive in doing things, no wonder he could reach his current position.

The father and his two sons were about to carry the box away when Lu Xiangqian stood at the door and looked at them. "You're just leaving like that, without having a drink with an old man like me? Go back after dark. I bought some meat and roast duck today."

Lu Fengnian thought about it and felt that it was not appropriate to leave now. It was not completely dark yet, and it would be troublesome if he was seen by outsiders.

"Okay, since your aunt is not at home, I, your son, will show you my skills today."

The father and his two sons went to the kitchen and worked hard together, and the meal was ready in half an hour.

Lu Xiangqian burst into tears while eating the food prepared by his son and grandson. It's easy to shed tears when you get old. He will be 72 years old after the Chinese New Year and he doesn't know how many years he can live.

"Fengnian, do you know why your grandfather named you Fengnian?"

"In this year of good harvest, Grandpa hopes that I can live a good life with enough food and clothes.

But my second and third brothers have better names, one is Fenghua and the other is Fengyu. This means I hope they can live better than me! Dad, you didn’t choose their names, did you?

Lu Xiangqian glanced at Lu Fengnian and said, "How can their lives be better than yours? Your mother left you so many good things, your grandfather left you the ancestral home, and you worked hard to climb to such a high position. One of them works in a government office, and the other works in a factory. How can they be as good as you?"

"Dad, you can't say that. There are so many people who have no food to eat and have starved to death. They live very well. Look, my aunt uses your pension to subsidize them from time to time."
