Grandpa Yu looked at Yu the Second in a thoughtful manner.

Yu Lao Er's only daughter has already gotten married in the countryside, and it's estimated that if he doesn't step in and make some moves, he'll never be able to come back.

The stepdaughter will likely be sentenced to death, meaning the second son will have no children.

My uncle has no biological children of his own, so when he gets old, his property will naturally go to his two nephews.

Thinking about it this way, Grandpa Yu felt much better.

It's just a formality; what's wrong with putting him at ease for now?

What Yu Lao Er was thinking was that it was time for him to have a son.

I never had this thought before. I felt that my life was very comfortable now. I didn't have to worry about the kids, and my wife was beautiful and obedient.

But now he doesn't think that way anymore. Isn't the reason his father treats him this way just because he doesn't have a son?

He had suffered serious health problems when he went to train in the countryside years ago, and his body was damaged by being soaked in ice water, which is why he and Yu Mei's mother had no children after being married for so many years.

I used to think that it was good to have less trouble, but now it seems that I should take better care of myself.

He had seen doctors, who said that he was not infertile, but that his sperm count was a little weak.

Sometimes he thinks that his wife's inability to conceive may not be entirely his fault. After all, she is not young, and it is normal for her not to be able to have children.

If that's the case, he could find a young woman to have a child with and then bring her back to raise. He felt his wife would definitely agree. If she didn't, he could only divorce her on the grounds that she was Yu Mei's mother and would affect his future. He would definitely not mistreat her then.

Once he has a son, what else does he have to fear? Perhaps his father's scales will tip in his favor?

He didn't know how to raise children when he was young, but now he is confident that he will raise his son to be successful.

The more Yu Lao Er thought about it, the more he felt it was a good idea, and his discomfort dissipated.

Having made his decision, Old Master Yu said, "Sure, since you don't have a son anyway, you'll have to rely on your two nephews for your old age. You can just transfer the house to your nephews' names when the time comes."

Yu Lao Er sneered inwardly again. Once something was in his hands, why would he return it?

Don't worry, this house will definitely be in your grandson's name in the future, it's just that this grandson is not the same as that grandson.

Yu Lao Er obediently replied, "Dad, don't worry, this house will definitely belong to your grandson in the future."

Grandpa Yu nodded in satisfaction. He had thought that his second son would not be so easy to deal with today, but he did not expect that the boy would be so considerate of the family.

Suddenly, Old Master Yu felt a pang of guilt, realizing he had let his son down.

Old Master Yu waved his hand, dismissing the three members of the eldest son's family, but leaving the second son behind.

The three men from the eldest son's family walked out of the study and glanced back at the second son, Yu, who had been left behind.

The eldest son of the eldest son's family whispered in Yu's ear, "Dad, Grandpa didn't keep Second Uncle around because he wanted to give him something else, did he?"

Yu Laoda glanced back at the study door that had just been closed and said softly, "Don't worry, your grandfather does everything for your sake. He won't favor your second uncle."

The father and his two sons had only walked a few steps when they heard a noisy commotion coming from downstairs.

They could also tell that it was their mothers' (daughters-in-law's) scolding voices.

It's easy to guess what happened.

Yu Laoda told his eldest son to go back to his room, and he and his youngest son hurriedly went downstairs.

At this time, the Yu family was very sensitive. They estimated that many people in the compound were watching, and they couldn't afford to cause any more trouble.

Old Master Yu even began to resent his wife's impatience in his heart.

After leaving Yu Lao Er behind, Old Master Yu watched as the study door closed, then took out a bankbook and a small box from a locked drawer.

Grandpa Yu pushed the two items toward Yu Lao Er and said, "Open them and take a look."

Yu Lao Er first opened his savings book, which contained more than six thousand yuan.

Yu Lao Er unconsciously rubbed his hand on the passbook. He hadn't expected his old man to have so much savings. He was sure that what he had taken out was only a small portion of his wealth; otherwise, someone who always thought of his grandson would never have given him so much.

Seeing him staring blankly at the numbers on the passbook, Grandpa Yu said, "This is what your mother and I have saved up over a lifetime by living frugally. I'm quite worried about you now that you're not by my side. Use this money sparingly, and save some of your own salary too, so you won't be short of money if something comes up unexpectedly."

Yu Lao Er put away the passbook and said, "I understand!"

Grandpa Yu pointed to the small box and said, "Open it."

Yu Lao Er obediently opened the small box, and was very surprised when the contents were revealed.

There were at least a dozen large yellow croakers inside, along with two high-quality icy jade bracelets, a red agate necklace, and a jade thumb ring.

Seeing Yu Lao Er's surprised expression, Old Master Yu said irritably, "Look at you, so useless."

Yu Lao Er was in turmoil; he knew his family's situation better than anyone else.

Their ancestors were extremely poor; his father joined the army because he couldn't afford to eat.

His father's salary couldn't possibly have accumulated that much wealth. He felt that the savings account probably contained all his parents had saved, and he couldn't imagine anything else.

Anything is possible during wartime, and perhaps that's when his father started gathering supplies.

Judging from this, it's hard to say what his father's assets are; he might even own more than just one house.

Grandpa Yu: "This is something I prepared for you a long time ago. I originally planned to give it to you after I passed away, but now that you're going to live alone, even if your son is grown up, a father can't let go. I thought you might need a lot of money after you leave, so I gave it to you in advance."

However, you can't let anyone see these things now, not even your wife. After all, you're a second-marriage couple, and she's been a wife in your life before. You have to be careful around her.

Yu Lao Er also agreed with this point. Not to mention the current situation, even before the incident, he had never really told Yu Mei's mother about his assets. He just gave her some living expenses every month. If she asked, he would say that he handed over all his salary to her.

The eldest daughter-in-law of the Yu family really let out all her pent-up anger this time. All the pent-up feelings that she had kept to herself before were now spilled out.

She cried as she spoke, as if she were the one being scolded.

Yu Mei's mother's head wounds were quite gruesome. She stood there blankly, staring at her toes, enduring everything without any emotion.

When Yu Lao Da and his youngest son came downstairs and saw this scene, they were really shocked. What would Yu Lao Er think if he saw this?

Then they saw the heads of onlookers at the gate of the courtyard, and Old Man Yu and his son were in a real bind.
