When Ming's mother came back, Mingsen knelt on the ground and kowtowed three times to the two elders.
With tears in her eyes, she walked out of the house, saying that her son was unfilial.
Ming's mother subconsciously felt that something was wrong and wanted to chase after him, but Ming's father grabbed her arm and whispered to her the whole story.
Ming's mother was very upset at home. She had the same idea as Ming's father and hoped that Mingsen's father-in-law could give some help for Ming Xiyun's sake.
After all, with the child, the two families are definitely related by marriage. How could Wang Wei not give any help at all?
But this idea was met with a real change in reality; a little grandson could not influence the situation at all.
Rich families have no shortage of children. Besides, blood ties are not a shackle that binds them, because blood ties are too easy to obtain.
Not to mention that he and his wife have a son, Ming Xiyun. As long as the price is high enough, even if Zhao Lingyun and Zhao Yiyun are Mingsen's children, they will still be abandoned when the time comes.
Moreover, Mingsen lacked vision and failed to see clearly the relationship between his father-in-law Wang Wei and his wife Wang Yunman.
As long as he can establish a good relationship with Wang Yunman, even if Wang Wei wants to touch him, he will think twice and may even take the initiative to find someone else.
After all, Wang Wei couldn't afford to offend the Fan family behind Wang Yunman.
Unfortunately, Mingsen has become accustomed to the natural master-servant relationship between parents and children, and feels that it is natural for the father to be the leader of the son and the husband to be the leader of the wife.
It is impossible for children to disobey their parents, and it is impossible for parents to change their minds based on their children's words.
In this way, he missed the opportunity to hold on to the real golden thigh.
Mingsen walked out of the door without realizing that he was going to jail because he refused to humble himself to please a woman. He had two bundles of money in his pocket and didn't know what to do.
This money is not safe no matter where you hide it.
If he left it all with his parents, his brother would easily get the inheritance, and he would not have a penny to start his own business after more than ten years of being released from prison.
My new house has not been renovated yet and is bare. There is no place to put money and it is easy to be stolen.
It's even possible that when he gets out, this house may not belong to him.
There was only one way. After much thought, Mingsen decided to go to his grandparents' graves to pay their respects.
He did not go empty-handed. He went to the department store and bought a bamboo basket, some paper money, incense, candles, and offerings. He also bought a box, kraft paper, and lime.
After thinking about it, I bought a hoe to weed.
It was almost noon when Mingsen climbed the mountain to his grandparents' tombstone. He wiped the sweat off his face.
He knelt on the ground and told his grandparents about his pain and how he had brought disgrace upon the family. After burning the paper money, he was in tears.
Seeing that his grandparents' tombstones were covered with dust, Mingsen wiped them all with the cloth he brought.
Then he picked up a hoe and hoed all the grass around, then dug a hole in a hidden corner and buried the two bundles of money.
The money had been wrapped in brown paper, and then the wooden box was filled with lime, the money was placed in it, and then buried in the pit.
To prevent the wooden box from corroding, a lot of lime was sprinkled into the pit.
In this way, when he is released from prison in more than ten years, the 2,000 yuan will be his lifeblood.
Wang Wei's promise to find him a wife when he gets out of prison was ignored by Mingsen and he didn't take it seriously.
What you get is yours. Others' promises of what will happen in the future are just empty promises. They are just giving you sweet treats because they are afraid that he will expose the people behind the scenes.
Mingsen filled the hole and even mixed the soil from other places with it.
But this money must not be discovered.
After finishing all this, Mingsen looked at the tombstones of his grandparents with his hoe, looked at the scenery on the mountain, and went home with the tribute in the bamboo basket on his hoe.
After returning home, he gave these offerings to his parents and had a reunion dinner with his brothers in the evening.
During this meal, Ming's parents were very silent. They used their best cooking skills and food to entertain him and watched their four sons having a friendly conversation together.
Ming's mother couldn't help wiping away tears after dinner.
She couldn't bear to part with her son, even if he didn't bring her glory, it would be fine as long as he could live a peaceful life.
After dinner, Mingsen drank some wine with a few brothers. It was homemade wine, which was not strong in alcohol, but he drank it until he was drunk.
He was very happy today. Reunited with his family, he felt as if he had returned to his carefree childhood.
When the three brothers were drunk and were helped back to their room by their wives while being lectured, Mingsen felt a little sad.
During this period of trying to please him, Wang Yunman didn't have the slightest bit of affection for him as a couple.
She didn't even ask, as if Mingsen was an insignificant servant or a stumbling block that could be kicked away and had nothing to do with her.
The vague expectation in Mingsen's heart was completely extinguished during the wait of this day.
A young lady is a young lady, and she is not a class that an ordinary person like him can touch. If he were given a choice, he would still like to live an ordinary life with Chen Sanni.
Mingsen laughed at himself. Who the hell was he to expect the high and mighty rich lady to have mercy on him?
Just as I was lost in thought, I heard a thumping sound.
It turned out that Ming's mother was diligently cleaning up the mess, collecting all the leftovers from their meal, and accidentally dropped a bowl.
