Chapter 356: Family property is not blown by the wind, no one is stupid

If you want to defeat others, you must first defeat yourself; if you want to criticize others, you must first criticize yourself; if you want to know others, you must first know yourself.

The greatest defeat is not knowing it.

The fact that the family's old servant Sister Liu was sent to the police station spread like an undercurrent between the Zhong and Yang families, in order to appease people's hearts and avoid conflicts.

Zhong Bang chose to bring the matter to light instead of keeping it secret and causing panic among the people.

The Zhong family's single-family house is far inferior to the Yang family's mountaintop house. Apart from Liu Xiaoman, there are only four servants in the family, a driver, a cook, a nanny and a gardener.

"There are rewards and punishments for doing things in the Zhong family. It's okay to make a small mistake, but if you make a serious mistake like stealing, you have to follow the rules. No one is allowed to spread rumors about what happened in the family.

The employment agreement clearly states it in black and white. I will hold anyone who leaks it accountable.”

Zhong Bangyou severely reprimanded the servants at home, and then took his wife to visit his mother Zhong Bijun who lived not far away.

Although Zhong Bijun is old, she is not confused and is in good spirits. She has a servant to take care of her and help her prune flowers in the yard.

The garden house with sea view was purchased by Zhong's father for his daughter Zhong Bijun to take refuge in the early years.

The situation in the Shanghai stock market was not good at that time. Zhong's father, who was in a high position, chose to retire at the height of his career. He sold his property and temporarily moved his family to Hong Kong, and then immigrated from Hong Kong to Southeast Asia.

For the sake of her husband Qian Sinian, Zhong Bijun was willing to stay in the country and accompany him. Zhong's father loved his daughter but failed to persuade her, so he could only leave a house for his daughter and grandson as a retreat.

As it turned out, Mr. Zhong was indeed foresighted.

The north had not allowed free movement into Hong Kong since the autumn of 1949. Before the final deadline was implemented, Zhong Bijun left the north with her son Zhong Bangyou and settled in Hong Kong.

Before they were sure that Zhong Jiasheng was still alive, Zhong Bangyou and Yang Ying did not tell their mother that Zhong Jiaxu was not their biological child.

Now that they knew their son was alive and had married and had children, the couple decided not to keep it a secret any longer.

Before Zhong Xu is discharged from the hospital and returns home, all his family members and blood relatives must be informed of this matter.

After pruning the branches, Zhong Bijun sat on a recliner in her elegant attire, listening to the servants reading. When she saw her son and daughter-in-law coming, she smiled with wrinkles on her face, "What brings you two here?"

Normally at this time, both of them are busy.

"I came to see you, old man, and by the way, I want to tell you something."

Seeing her son's heavy expression, Mrs. Zhong guessed that he had encountered a difficult problem. She dismissed the servants and asked, "What's the matter?"

Zhong Bangyou considered his words carefully and spoke in a slow tone, "Didn't you love to listen to operas when you were young? Now there is a substitution play being performed in our house."

"A switch? Just be clear, don't beat around the bush." ​​Old Mrs. Zhong is a straightforward person and doesn't like people keeping her in suspense.

After opening the conversation, the rest came smoothly, and Zhong Bangyou explained the whole story in detail.

Hearing this, Old Mrs. Zhong kept clicking her tongue, frowning, and sometimes looking worried and angry.

"Are you sure about what you said? Are you sure it's correct?"

Yang Ying gave the inch-length photo in her bag to her mother-in-law. Old Mrs. Zhong put on her reading glasses and looked carefully at the person in the photo. All the doubts and disbeliefs in her heart were explained.

Apart from his thick eyebrows and tall stature, Jia Xu has some similarities with Zhong Bang, but his personality is completely unlike that of the Zhong family.

He is gentle, refined, and a little indecisive.

Without this photo, Mrs. Zhong might not have believed the news on the paper.

The people in the photo were obviously members of the Zhong family. With the comparison with their biological children, the one or two resemblances to Zhong Jiaxu were really far-fetched.

"Jiasheng is in the north, and we can't meet for the time being. In order to avoid causing trouble for him, the news of finding Jiasheng will not be announced to the public. We will only clarify that Jiaxu is his adopted son."

Old Mrs. Zhong sighed, not knowing what to say for a moment, and just patted her daughter-in-law's hand to comfort her.

"I'm sorry for wronging you, Xiaoying."

She is also a mother. Her own flesh and blood was swapped and her motherly love was given to the wrong person. There are really no words to describe how she feels.

"As long as Jiasheng is still alive, it's fine." Yang Ying smiled faintly. She was no longer as upset as she was at the beginning. She only thought positively, "Mother, you are a great-grandmother now. Jiasheng has married and has a pair of twin sons in the north."

Mrs. Zhong was overjoyed, "Really? Great, this is a great joyous event.

Bangyou, Xiaoying, come in with me and help me look through my cabinet. I remember there is a piece of good jade in it..."

Mr. and Mrs. Zhong were originally worried that the old lady would not be able to withstand the stimulation due to her old age, but they did not expect that her mind would change faster than anyone else.

He is indeed a person who has studied abroad and accepted open-minded ideas.

He also sternly reminded them that they should keep their close relationships in the right order.

The distinction between sons and adopted sons must be made clearly. If it is vague, it will make people feel unclear and give rise to covetous hearts, which will be the root of disaster for the family.

We must prevent future troubles from the very beginning, and the family business can only be passed on to the son who is related by blood.

Mrs. Zhong’s original words: All the Zhong family’s property in Hong Kong will be left to their bloodline descendants. If Zhong Jiasheng or his son does not want to inherit, all family assets will be donated to society.

With this one point, the thoughts of those who have coveted and snooped on us are immediately cut off.

Zhong Jiaxu grew up under the care of Old Lady Zhong. Naturally, there is a sense of grandparent-grandchild affection between them, but this affection is based on the premise that he is her biological grandson.

Zhong Bijun planned to leave some money for Zhong Jiaxu. After all, the child had brought her a lot of joy over the years, just like giving rewards for watching a play, just for fun.

As for more, there is no more.

Thinking about the two little great-grandchildren in the family, Mrs. Zhong felt that she had spent money too lavishly in her early years and did not leave many good things.

In the photo, Jiasheng’s wife is prettier than a female star, and his great-grandson naturally inherited his good looks.

I am filled with joy and worry. When can I bring the Jiasheng family to Hong Kong for a reunion?

North of Ze County.

Two more days passed. Lin Yiyi was lazy at home for two days. But on her "birthday", she dressed up a little and surprised everyone.

In order to celebrate Lin Yiyi's 20th birthday, Tian Meiling got up early in the morning to prepare, and the chicken, duck, fish and meat were all brought back by her cousin.

The most precious thing is the five ribs. Pork is hard to buy even if you have money and tickets, let alone the best ribs.

Braised spare ribs, chicken stewed with wild mushrooms, pickled fish were made according to Lin Yiyi's taste, and there were four dishes that Zhao Jun brought back from the textile factory canteen.

The table was full of meat, plus a plate of cold-boiled chicken thighs with green onions, making it exactly eight dishes.

The happiest people at the birthday party were Aunt Sun and Damao and Ermao, as they were able to eat such delicious food and even get some cake.

Zhao Sheng exchanged two tickets with someone and bought four cream cakes, which when put together happened to be the birthday cake that Lin Yiyi had mentioned.

After finishing their meal, Da Mao and Er Mao sat around the table and refused to leave, their eyes almost popping out of their heads as they stared at the cream cake.

They had only seen it but never eaten it, so they were very greedy.

Zhao Sheng followed the same pattern as Lin Yiyi did last year when she celebrated her birthday, blowing out the candles and dividing the cake.

He had one piece, she had one piece, and the remaining two pieces were shared by my cousin's family and Aunt Sun.

The crying twins in the next room couldn't eat anything. They seemed to smell the sweet fragrance and cried loudly after drinking the milk.

I guess he's just asking for trouble.
