"Dad, Erzhuang's daughter Yinhua is in such a terrible state, don't make fun of her," Tang Youliang advised.
"She switched the jade pendant, so she deserves to suffer this punishment!" Old Tang still gritted his teeth with hatred when he mentioned Song Yinhua. "She doesn't have any children of her own now. As long as she doesn't remarry and have children in this life, her things can only be left to our Qiuxue."
“Aren’t there still Baogen and Caixing? Qiuxue is my daughter, so how could Yinhua’s things end up with Qiuxue after she died?” Tang Youliang said. “Besides, Yinhua’s adopted daughter is Caixing’s biological daughter, so her things should be left to this child after she died.”
"Qiuxue's household registration is still with Erzhuang's family and hasn't been transferred out yet, so she is still a member of Erzhuang's family. Qiuxue will also have a share of what Yinhua leaves behind, just like Baogen and the others. When the time comes, let Qiuxue find a way to get the jade pendant back."
"Dad, are you sure our jade pendant is fake? Was it really stolen by Yinhua?" Tang Youliang asked uncertainly. "A few years ago, Qiuxue searched the entire bank room but couldn't find it. She even got Yinhua drunk and searched her too, but it wasn't there either. Could it be that our jade pendant is real?"
"Impossible!" Old Tang said with certainty. "If our place is real, why can't I get in?"
"Perhaps you're just getting old."
Old Man Tang thought for a moment and then asked Tang Youliang to inform everyone to hold a family meeting that evening.
In the afternoon, Wang Yunyun returned with her nearly three-year-old daughter. Tang Suxiang also went back to her parents' home, accompanied by Song Hanwen's family of four.
There wasn't enough room at the table for dinner.
Looking at his many children and grandchildren, Old Man Tang said proudly to them, "Good people are rewarded. Look at me, so many children and so much happiness. And look at Yinhua from Erzhuang's family, everyone around her has been cursed to death by her. They are destined to live out their lives alone. This is her retribution! Hahaha, you must be kind in the future and never have any malicious thoughts, or the retribution will fall on your offspring, understand?"
Old Man Tang looked at the group of children and asked, "Do you all understand?"
Wang Yunyun's daughter, Han Si'er, asked Wang Yunyun, "Mom, what is kindness?"
"Kindness is being a good person."
What is a good person?
Wang Yunyun snapped at her daughter impatiently, "Why are you so long-winded? It's so annoying!"
Seeing this, Old Man Tang scolded Wang Yunyun, "The child is still young, why are you taking your anger out on the child? Do you always treat Si'er like this at home?"
"Grandpa, you have no idea how annoying she is!" Wang Yunyun was extremely impatient with the child, finding her more and more irritating the more she looked at her. "She can't do anything, all she does is eat and sleep, she's completely useless, a good-for-nothing!"
“The child is so young, all he does is eat, sleep and play.” Tang Youliang felt sorry for Wang Yunyun’s daughter. “Look at your second brother’s youngest son, he’s less than a year older than your daughter, and he’s very naughty. He’s always climbing trees to steal bird nests or hitting people with a slingshot. All he does every day is eat, sleep and cause trouble.”
“Isn’t that how kids should be?” Tang Suxiang chimed in. “My second granddaughter is about the same age as Yunyun’s daughter, and all she does every day is eat and play with whoever she’s with. Kids are all like that.”
Looking at Tang Suxiang's second granddaughter, who was well-fed and quiet, Wang Yunyun praised the child with great joy, "Fifth Aunt, this child is so well-raised. She's bound to be successful in the future, much better than my child."
Tang Su'e took the child from Tang Suxiang's arms, teased the child, and made the child giggle. "This child is so lovable. He has a cheerful personality, a good temper, and is very affectionate."
Tang Su'e and her daughter Wang Yunyun praised Song Hanwen's second daughter, making Song Hanwen and his wife favor this child even more.
Two years ago, Tang Suxiang consulted a fortune teller to predict the future of her two children. The fortune teller said that her second daughter would be able to study well and marry into a wealthy family when she grew up.
This made Song Hanwen and his wife pay even more attention to their second daughter.
Once you have a younger child, you might unconsciously neglect the older one.
The fortune teller's words made Song Hanwen and his wife pay even more attention to their second daughter, spoiling her like a little princess in the family.
He likes to steal his older sister's things.
Everything in the house belongs to her.
Therefore, the two daughters often quarreled. Every time, they would scold the older daughter, teach her to give in to her younger sister, and feel sorry for the younger daughter who had been wronged.
This made the second daughter even more unruly.
She would snatch her older sister's things at home, and when she went to other people's houses to play, she would snatch other people's toys and even injure other people's children.
This made Tang Suxiang and Song Hanwen extremely happy.
She's so capable and domineering at such a young age. She'll definitely be successful when she grows up, marry a rich man, and have a life of wealth and honor.
After dinner, a group of children played in the yard while the adults held a family meeting inside the house.
Old Tang took out the jade pendant and had everyone present try it to see if they could enter the space.
Only then did everyone present realize the secret of the jade pendant and understand why their father cared so much about it.
Everyone in the room took the jade pendant in their hands, wanting to enter the space.
Whoever can enter the space will possess this jade pendant and the treasures within.
Suddenly, the sound of a child crying came from outside.
"Who's crying?" Zhou Qiaoyun asked. "The voice sounds like Yunyun's."
Old Man Tang asked Wang Yunyun to go out and take a look.
Wang Yunyun reluctantly got up, "So annoying!"
She opened the door and saw her daughter sitting on the floor crying. She asked impatiently, "What are you crying about now?"
While crying, Han Si'er pointed at the two children fighting. Song Hanwen's eldest daughter said, "My sister snatched her doll and pushed her down."
"You're so useless!" Wang Yunyun scolded the child, then quickly tried to break up the fight, afraid that her own daughter would be at a disadvantage.
Song Hanwen's second daughter and Wang Xiaowei's youngest son got into a fight.
Wang Yunyun grabbed Wang Xiaowei's youngest son and pulled him forcefully to the side, shouting, "Don't bully your sister!"
"She stole my slingshot!" The little boy, not even four years old, tried to snatch his slingshot back with both hands and feet.
"These are mine!" Song Hanwen's second daughter held a slingshot and a doll in her hands, and she would snatch anything she saw.
"Give it back to me!" Wang Xiaowei's youngest son was held back by Wang Yunyun and couldn't go up to snatch his things back.
"This is mine!" Song Hanwen's second daughter angrily slapped her younger cousin. "From now on, you all have to listen to me... ah..."
The little boy kicked Song Hanwen's second daughter to the ground.
Wang Yunyun felt sorry for her own daughter and slapped her brother's son, saying, "How can you bully your sister? You're the older brother, you should give in to your sister, understand?"
"Waaaaah..." The little boy screamed and howled, grabbing wildly at Wang Yunyun.
His hands were gripped tightly by Wang Yunyun.
When Wang Xiaowei and his wife heard their son crying, they rushed out.
"Yunyun, what are you doing? Let go of my Xiaobao!" Wang Xiaowei stepped forward and rescued his youngest son.
"She stole my slingshot!" the little boy cried, pointing at the slingshot in Song Hanwen's second daughter's hand. "She took my slingshot, and Aunt Yunyun even hit me!"
Wang Xiaowei glanced at Wang Yunyun with displeasure, then snatched the slingshot back and returned it to his son.
Song Hanwen's second daughter was furious. She went up and tried to snatch it, even biting Wang Xiaowei's leg. Wang Xiaowei hit her, and she got so angry that she lay on the ground crying and rolling around, demanding the slingshot.
Wang Yunyun got angry, "Second brother, why are you hitting a child when you're an adult?"
"You're an adult too, and you hit my son!"
Wang Xiaowei and his sister Wang Yunyun got into a fight. Tang Suxiang heard her granddaughter crying and, in a fit of anger, ran out and started arguing with Wang Xiaowei as well.
Wang Xiaowei said to Tang Suxiang, "He pretended to be dead when his granddaughter bullied others, but as soon as he saw that his granddaughter was being taken advantage of, he rushed out immediately!"
