Chapter 118: Back Home
As New Year's Eve approached, the once quiet and deserted little building of the Yu family finally became lively.
The neighbors who lived not far away were a little surprised to hear the laughter and joy coming from the Qi family.
Ever since the second branch of the Yi family moved in, people thought that this year's Yi family New Year would be even quieter, but it turned out to be beyond expectations.
Then everyone couldn't help but think of the guests who came to the Yi family.
They haven't seen any relatives from the Qie family visit them for several years. There are guests, but it seems that none of them bring children.
However, no matter how curious they were, everyone suppressed their curiosity and did not actually go to the house to inquire.
But soon, they all understood what was going on.
Early the next morning, when everyone finished breakfast and hurried out to get ready for work, they heard the giggling or laughing of children and the elderly, which sounded quite joyful.
People passing by looked over there and saw that outside the courtyard of the Yu family, old man Yu, who seldom went out, was making a snowman at the door with a child who looked about four or five years old.
People passing by were curious about who this child belonged to. It was said that he came yesterday. Since he could live in the Qi family, he was probably neither a relative nor an ordinary guest.
Some people thought the baby looked like a snowman and was so cute that they couldn't help but stop to look.
If they watched like this, even if they were not close, the old man and the child at the door would naturally not fail to notice them.
Seeing that the old man seemed unhappy about being disturbed, the person who stopped felt a little embarrassed and after greeting him, casually asked who the child was.
Although there is only one person in the family, Shao Feng, who holds a high position in the center, and he is a deputy position at that, his status is not very high in the East District.
But in fact, the presence of the Yi family in the East District is very strong, and some people are afraid of them, because of Mr. Yi.
Although Mr. Zhu has stepped down, he has been a general for more than 40 years. Even though he has retired, some of his rights have not been deprived.
The most important thing is that his connections and relationships should never be underestimated.
It’s also because the old man doesn’t want to give the younger generations the opportunity to use their connections to get in through the back door, otherwise the whole family, from the old to the young, would have been in high positions by now.
Therefore, although many people were afraid of the old man, they also secretly laughed at him for being stupid.
The older generation worked so hard to earn things, but if they don’t leave them to the next generation, they will have to take them into the coffin.
What's more, once the old man really dies, these things will disappear into thin air, and you will get nothing in return.
Many people cannot understand the old man's behavior.
They didn't dare to talk nonsense in front of the old man, but they often made sarcastic remarks in front of Shao Feng.
In particular, Shao Feng's political enemies often used this incident to try to sow discord among the family.
Fortunately, Shao Feng was almost brought up by his grandfather with a tight control over his trousers since he was a child, and his temperament and ideas are mostly like his grandfather's, so he doesn't think this is a bad thing.
He even treats his own children in the same way now, believing that they should fight for what they want. If they don't have the ability, giving them more will be a waste of resources.
This is something that Shaoyang, who was born into a comfortable environment later, could not understand.
What's more, Shaoyang has a selfish and paranoid mother who doesn't allow the old man to interfere in her education of her son, so he was raised in a completely wrong way.
By the time they discovered it, it was too late. They could only keep reaching out to help, but in the end they were also pulled into the vortex.
Although they were both exploited without their knowledge, Shaoyang and his wife probably spent decades in prison.
But she was different. After all, she was a student at the Chinese Academy of Sciences before that. The nature of the case was different, so even though she was unaware of it this time, she was still sentenced to life imprisonment.
