Aunt Wu was heartbroken after hearing what her brother said. She had never thought that her own brother would be so selfish and not care about her life or death at all.
He turned around and was about to leave, but after two steps he stopped and turned back to Li Huinan and said, "Huinan, we have been together since we were little. You know where I have been using the money to support you for so many years. Now that I have something to worry about and you treat me like this, let's break off our relationship. From now on, you are you and I am me. Even if something happens to me, I will never bother you again!"
Li Huinan rolled her eyes as if she didn't hear what Aunt Five said. This time, she looked at Aunt Five straight in the eye. Then, without saying a word, she waved at Aunt Five impatiently, turned around and went back to the house and never came out again.
Fifth Aunt laughed at herself and shook her head, carefully looking at everything in the yard. This was the place where she grew up, and she would never come back to it again.
There was another person who knew that the Chamber of Commerce was anxious about auditing the accounts, and that was Jiang Sanshi, who was of Mr. Jiang's generation.
He was the child of the third concubine of Mr. Jiang's eighth uncle, who was the generation above him. He was the 30th child in birth order.
The eighth uncle doted on this concubine, and she was also very fertile. She gave birth to seven sons for the eighth uncle over the past ten years. However, every family has its own rules. No matter how fertile a concubine is, she will always be a concubine, and her children will all be illegitimate.
In the old society, there was a huge difference between legitimate sons and illegitimate sons.
The legitimate son enjoyed the best education, food, clothing, and daily necessities from a young age. For the illegitimate son, being smart wasn't enough; he had to work twice as hard to get his father's attention. Furthermore, the difference in food, clothing, and daily necessities was significant.
Now is a new society, there is no such thing as legitimate and illegitimate children, let alone concubines. After the founding of New China, the marriage law stipulated monogamy, and the next generation of families no longer had the distinction between legitimate and illegitimate children.
Jiang Sanshi inherited the best genes from both his parents. He was handsome and intelligent. He knew how to read people's faces from the age of two or three, and even older, he was following his father through the account books. He began learning business at eleven, and by fifteen he was negotiating arms deals on his own. In short, Jiang Sanshi was a business prodigy.
Although he is older than Jiang Shaoming, he is actually only three years older than him.
Even if you see him, you have to call him Grandpa Sanshi honestly.
Jiang Sanshi also attended the meeting yesterday. He watched from the crowd as Shui Shui's men checked the accounts. He clenched his fists to control himself. He couldn't count how much money he'd taken in over the years. If everything was discovered, wouldn't he be utterly devastated? So, he was the second one to be anxious.
When he got home yesterday, he called his confidants into the study, and they didn't come out until very late. This morning, he asked the driver to drive him out of the city.
He wanted to find someone from the underworld and have sex with him. This was the best solution that several people came up with in the study yesterday. This account could not be investigated further.
Didn't Shui Shui know that if she interfered with other people's interests, someone would want to kill her? She and Old Master Jiang had already thought about it. Why did Old Master Jiang turn a blind eye even though he knew there were corrupt officials in the Chamber of Commerce? He just didn't want everyone in the family to end up turning against each other.
But Mr. Jiang's silence over the years has not brought peace and prosperity to the family. Instead, it has only made some people's appetites grow bigger, to the point where they no longer know their own limitations or the immensity of the world.
For example, Jiang Sanshi.
