The group returned to the Xia family's old villa.

Just as the car was about to drive into the gate of the mansion, Xia Yuntao suddenly saw someone at the gate who seemed to be arguing with Aunt Zhang, the housekeeper they had hired.

Xia Yuntao frowned slightly and asked the driver in front to stop first.

Grandma Xia then saw the figure arguing with Aunt Zhang at the gate.

The more I look at it, the more familiar it seems.

After seeing it clearly, she couldn't help but frown and exclaimed in surprise, "Old man, is that Zicheng?"

Xia Yuntao nodded. "It's the one from the third brother's family."

"Why is he back?" Grandma Xia frowned, shocked and clearly not very fond of her grandson.

She and Xia Yuntao had three sons and one daughter, who in turn gave them five grandsons, two granddaughters, one grandson-in-law, and two granddaughters-in-law.

The person talking to Aunt Zhang at the door is the youngest of their third son's children. He is twenty-two years old this year and is the youngest among their grandchildren.

Because she was young, she was spoiled and pampered from a young age.

Being in that kind of environment abroad, I picked up many bad habits.

Xia Yuntao thought for a moment and said to Huo Beixiao and Yang Qiaoqiao, "Beixiao, Qiaoqiao, you take your grandmother to stay with you for a couple of days. I need to find out what this unworthy descendant is doing back here before we make any plans."

Grandma Xia nodded when she heard Xia Yuntao's words. "Old man, then you should be careful and keep an eye on him."

"Hmm." Xia Yuntao nodded. "Don't worry, I'm his grandfather after all. No matter how ruthless he is, he wouldn't dare to do anything to me."

Yang Qiaoqiao was initially puzzled when she heard Grandpa Xia and Grandma Xia's conversation, wondering why the elderly couple would have such an attitude towards their own grandson.

But after Grandpa Xia got off the bus, she understood from Grandma Xia's description.

It turns out that when Xia Zicheng was abroad, he not only did nothing productive, but also spent all his time hanging out with a bunch of bad friends overseas, smoking, drinking, and racing cars.

On one occasion, Grandpa Xia even discovered that he wasn't smoking cigarettes, but rather another type of hallucinogenic and addictive leaf.

That thing opened my country's doors at the end of the feudal dynasty, marking the beginning of a century of humiliation for my country.

Grandpa Xia naturally loathed that thing.

He immediately took his cane and taught Xia Zicheng a lesson.

But Xia Zicheng was inherently unruly, and in his heightened state of excitement at the time, he became even more arrogant.

They actually snatched Grandpa Xia's cane and turned against him, wanting to beat him up.

Grandma Xia sighed as she spoke, "If it weren't for the other family members hearing the commotion and stopping it in time, I'm afraid Yuntao would have lost his life."

It was only after this incident that we both realized we had to go back to China.

The environment abroad has never been suitable for us Chinese. In such an environment, our descendants will be ruined sooner or later.

"We just didn't expect that they would all grow up and be blinded by the glitz and glamour of the foreign world. Even if we come back, none of them will be willing to come back with us."

Grandma Xia sighed as she spoke, then shook her head.

Yang Qiaoqiao knew that after the Xia family's descendants went abroad, they were blinded by the outside world and refused to come back, which had always been a worry for Grandpa and Grandma Xia.

Su Pan also studied abroad in her early years.

Let alone in the 1960s, even now, as we are about to enter the 1990s, the gap between my country and other countries is still very large.

It's quite normal for people who go abroad to be dazzled by the allure of foreign countries, forget their roots, and refuse to return.

Su Pan comforted Grandma Xia, saying, "Aunt Xia, having grandchildren come back isn't necessarily a bad thing. Maybe your grandson has changed for the better, which is why he's come back to find you!"

As the saying goes, "A prodigal son who returns is more precious than gold!"

Grandma Xia shook her head clearly, "Can he change for the better? It's unlikely!"

At this moment, Xia Zicheng, speaking in broken Mandarin, had run out of patience arguing with Aunt Zhang.

He learned by chance from a second-generation member of the Chinese community that after his grandfather returned, his business flourished again and he made a lot of money.

He had already asked around and found out that those two old geezers were living in this big villa after they came back.

He remembered that the old man had called them before, saying that the old woman was about to die and asking them to come back.

He figured that if the old woman had already died, leaving the old man all alone in the country, if he came back, the old man might be so moved that he would leave all his inheritance to him alone.

Only then did he secretly return to this poor and backward place by plane, without telling anyone else.

Who knew that when they returned, before they even saw the old man, they were stopped at the door by a servant.

You are a bitch!

Xia Zicheng had completely lost his patience. He pointed at Aunt Zhang and said, "Let me tell you, this house belongs to my family. I am the owner here, and I am your boss."

If you stop me again, I'll kill you!

Xia Yuntao had just approached when he heard Xia Zicheng say this.

The flicker of hope in my heart was instantly extinguished by a bucket of cold water, and my heart sank completely.

"Who are you going to kill?" Xia Yuntao reprimanded in a deep voice, "You have quite the ability, coming back to kill this person and that person."

Do you think you're still in some chaotic, impoverished area abroad? You're on Chinese soil now, in a socialist country ruled by law. If you dare hurt someone, you'll be sent to a labor camp and shot!
