Chapter 305 How to recognize this relative?
At the Gu family, the family was sitting together talking about Xia Zhengming.
Xia Zhengming had a plan for what to say and do before he came to the Gu family, and Gu Jianguo and the others had naturally thought of a countermeasure beforehand. But they didn't expect Xia Zhengming to play by the rules. He apologized after his arrival, but didn't say a word about how to deal with Xia Yuan.
"Is she trying to get away with it?" Wang Yueju asked.
Ye Chi thought for a moment and said, "Based on his usual style of doing things, it shouldn't be the case."
Ye Chi couldn't figure out what Xia Zhengming was up to. Normally, if the Xia family didn't want to protect Xia Yuan, Xia Zhengming would have said so when he arrived. If they did, he would have offered to compensate Xiao Si. But he said nothing.
"No matter what his attitude is, we can't just let it go like this," said Gu Jianguo.
"Yes," Ye Chi said again, "I have been keeping an eye on the situation at the disciplinary inspection department for a while now. I definitely can't just let it go like this."
No matter what the Xia family plans to do, they will just follow suit.
As they were talking, it was almost noon, and Wang Yueju asked everyone what they wanted to eat. Gu Siqing was craving hot pot, so she said, "Let's have hot pot."
"Okay, eating hotpot is the easiest." Wang Yueju said and looked at Gu Jianguo: "Go to the vegetable market and buy some vegetables."
Gu Jianguo: “”
I’ve never been asked to buy groceries before!
"Dad, you've never been shopping for groceries, why don't you experience some life?" Gu Siqing said with a smile as she sat aside.
Gu Jianguo immediately understood what he meant. He had said before that he would go to the kitchen to cook for his future son-in-law to see. But he didn't expect it to start so soon.
"Okay, I'll go buy some." Gu Jianguo stood up and asked, "What dishes do you want to eat?"
At this time, Ye Chi also stood up and said, "Uncle Gu, you stay home. I'll go buy it."
As a son-in-law, how could he let his father-in-law go out to work? He must rush to the front!
"Let you go? That's not a good idea. I'd better go." Gu Jianguo said.
At this time, Zhang Zijun also stood up and said, "I'll go, I'll go."
He walked out, and Ye Chi followed. Gu Jianguo said from behind, "Then you can go too."
Seeing this, Gu Siqing covered her mouth and laughed. Gu Erhui asked, "What are you laughing at?"
Gu Siqing glanced at her father and said, "My dad is really going all out to train his future son-in-law to work in the kitchen."
Gu Yimin and Gu Erhui instantly understood what it meant, and they both laughed. At this time, Han Zhengping came to Gu Jianguo and said, "I'll join you."
Seeing this, Wang Yueju said, "That's perfect. You two can go to the kitchen and get ready now." Han Zhengping immediately stood up, and Gu Jianguo also stood up with a smile. The two went to the kitchen to get busy. Gu Siqing gave Comrade Wang Yueju a thumbs up and said, "Mom, when it comes to the ability to train people, you are the best."
Wang Yueju was happy again. She said, "Let's play mahjong?"
"Okay, okay." Gu Siqing hurriedly ran to get the mahjong. After Ye Chi and Zhang Zijun came back from buying groceries, Gu Jianguo and Han Zhengping were busy in the kitchen, and Wang Yueju was playing mahjong with her three daughters.
Hot pot is easy to make, requiring no technical skill. All you need to do is prepare the pot base and wash the vegetables. The four men finished it in no time. Zhang Zijun had never been in the kitchen before, but he knew how to wash vegetables.
Seeing his future father-in-law and Ye Chi busy with the kitchen work with ease, and even Xiao Han was organized, while he was in a mess, Zhang Zijun decided to go back and practice the kitchen work.
The meal was served soon. The family gathered around the hot pot, eating and chatting. It was a very enjoyable meal.
At the Xia family, they received the results of the investigation after dinner: Wang Yueju and Wang Dachuan settled in Yangshu Village thirty-eight years ago. When Wang Yueju was sixteen years old, Wang Dachuan died of illness. Gu Jianguo made a coffin for Wang Dachuan and married Wang Yueju home.
The name and time matched, and coupled with Wang Yueju's appearance and the birthmark on her wrist, she was undoubtedly the Xia family's long-lost daughter.
The Xia family sat together in silence. They had to acknowledge their relative. After searching for so many years, it was impossible not to acknowledge him. But considering what Xia Yuan had done, how could they acknowledge this relative?
"Let's wait. After Xia Yuan's results come out, we can talk about recognizing her as our relative." Xia Qingzhang said.
If Xia Yuan is not punished, they will not have the face to acknowledge her as their relative.
"Okay, the disciplinary inspection team should have results soon," Xia Zhengming said. He would have his secretary urge the progress of the investigation tomorrow. He wanted to make their stance clear to the disciplinary inspection team: they would not protect Xia Yuan in this matter.
Old Madam Xia sighed heavily, "It's time for her to learn a lesson."
She has now come to terms with it. While it's not true that Xia Yuan's family didn't make any mistakes in her journey to where she is today, it's still her own fault. Otherwise, how come Xia Ying and Xia Yi didn't become like her despite receiving the same education from the Xia family?
After discussing it, everyone went back to their rooms to rest. Xia Qingzhang and Old Lady Xia returned to their rooms, but naturally they couldn't fall asleep while lying on the bed.
Old Lady Xia sat up and leaned against the headboard of the bed and said, "There were many people in the Wang family back then, but in the end, only Yueju and Wang Dachuan were left. Just think about how difficult it was back then."
Speaking of suffering, this daughter is the one who really suffered.
"I'll just make it up to her later." Xia Qingzhang thought more. Although Xia Yuan accepted the punishment, the impact of her actions was significant. Furthermore, if the eldest daughter bullied the youngest daughter, who had been separated for many years, it would be a joke if the news got out. He also had to save face.
But at this time, there is no need to talk about shame or not. He has to be prepared to be laughed at.
"What will happen to Xia Yuan in the future?" asked Old Mrs. Xia.
"What do you mean?" Xia Qingzhang said angrily, "You can't live without a job? How did Yueju survive in the village for so many years? If you say you don't care, then don't care. Don't be soft-hearted even if she comes to you crying."
"I know." Old Mrs. Xia was not confused, but it was impossible for her two daughters to live in peace in the future. It gave her a headache just thinking about it.
"Your name is Xiao Si, right?" Xia Qingzhang asked.
Old Madam Xia hummed, "My full name is Gu Siqing, and Xiao Si is what my family calls me."
"The child has been wronged, so compensation must be given. Give her the house on Qianmen Street." Xia Qingzhang pondered how to compensate her and said, "We still have some old things at home. Tomorrow, you can pick out some and give them to Yueju and the children."
The Xia family was also a big family in Kyoto back then, so naturally they had some wealth.
"Okay," Old Lady Xia responded, then said, "Should we hold a family reunion banquet? We have to let people know about the relationship between our two families. If Yimin and Erhui are engaged to Ye Chi and Zhang Zijun, people will definitely say they're marrying above their station. If we have your backing, who will say anything?"
"We'll see when the time comes! We can't just have a banquet whenever we want. It depends on what the children think."
