Chapter 209: The Human Heart is Unpredictable
He was a well-known figure in the Xia Kingdom and pursued a military career.
As for Wen Li, it must be said that he was well educated and was proficient in both civil and military affairs.
He dealt with these descendants very easily.
"My eldest brother asked us to go to his house for dinner tomorrow. Ask Yi'an if he wants to come back." After returning home, Wen Li asked Xia Yutong who was trimming flowers and plants.
She looked up at him and said, "Things are not going well at your brother's house. Do you really want to go?" She was a person who was afraid of trouble.
It's true that we have the ability, but we don't like trouble coming to us.
Wen Li didn't take it to heart at all: "What's the big deal? How can it trouble me?" He looked down on his eldest brother's good-for-nothing sons.
You are already so old, but you still rely on me. You are really useless.
"That's not necessarily true." Do blood-sucking insects care whether you are a direct descendant or not?
Go ahead if there's blood.
"Oh, you think I'm afraid? If it weren't for the fact that Big Brother likes me, I would get close to them." If it weren't for the old official, he wouldn't care about those useless things.
Everyone is very selfish.
"Yes, your elder brother is the best." Xia Yutong didn't want to argue with him, it was meaningless.
"Forget about Yi An. I don't want her to get involved." Daughter, it's better to keep it simple.
Besides, his family doesn't rely on the government, so why are you afraid that they won't be able to escape?
When Wen Li heard that his daughter was not allowed to go, he had no objection.
After arriving in this world, they still used their original names, but Yi An used a single word, Ouyang An.
The name Ouyang Li is still very valuable in the eyes of some people.
But the people who knew him were the kind of people whose bodies were half buried in the ground.
No matter how much they admire him, their descendants still look down on Ouyang Li.
unimportant.
The official has three sons.
The eldest brother, Guan Zhengqing, is considered the successor.
I have a son who is 25 years old this year and seems to be doing business.
The second son, Guan Zhengxin, was idle and was arranged by the old official to work in a government agency for his retirement.
I also have a son, but this son is doing well. He is still studying. I heard that he went abroad to study.
The third child, Guan Zhengyu, is even worse. He just lives off his parents at home.
He has no job and has a wife to support him, but he has a good-looking face, which I heard looks like his deceased mother.
Therefore, he is especially favored by the old man.
Yi'an is now rooted in school. She is a child with dreams.
After learning about the world's medicine, her dream is to get into the best medical university.
Of course Xia Yutong was not interested in this. It was a good thing that she was ambitious.
The next day, the couple bought some things and came to the door.
At this time, not all the officials had gathered together, but their grandchildren had arrived.
"Oh, so funny." As soon as Wen Li came in, he saw Mr. Guan playing with his grandchildren in the yard.
We all live in the same community and are not far away from each other.
Hearing the sound and seeing someone coming, Mr. Guan quickly stood up and said, "You're here early. Tell me, are you thinking about my good tea?"
Wen Li rolled his eyes at him and said, "Don't give me that. I'm afraid you're just thinking about my tea." What he took out was better than anything in this world.
Tea is his biggest hobby in daily life.
There is no pressure to practice in this world, and it is rare for him to relax.
On weekdays, most of the food and daily necessities the couple uses are taken from the space.
I have become very picky about food and I don't really like the food I normally eat.
The old man was not polite and accepted it: "Of course, you are a guest today, did you bring some more?" On weekdays, if someone wanted to drink some of his good tea, he would always make many excuses and give it to him in small amounts, which was very stingy.
Xia Yutong watched the two of them having fun and started laughing too.
She was afraid that Wen Li could not accept the life in this world, but unexpectedly, he was more comfortable than herself.
"Hello, Brother Guan." She politely handed over the spiritual tea she brought.
Seeing such a pretty girl calling him "big brother", Mr. Guan was so happy: "See, your wife is still a good person."
Mr. Guan’s wife had an illness in her early years and passed away early.
There is no hostess in the house now, but the wife of the eldest son is in charge.
But he rarely comes back on weekdays, which makes Mr. Guan very comfortable.
She is just a foil, and she is aware of this.
Seeing the two old brothers chatting, she did not intervene and brought the official's grandson to play aside.
Seeing that Xia Yutong was so understanding, Mr. Guan was so happy.
"Look at your wife, she's such a good person, how could you have tricked her into marrying her?" His face was full of regret.
Wen Li really wanted to kick him twice, asking him to speak human language.
What's wrong with him?
"You can't envy me because you are too old." In terms of age, I don't know how much older I am than him.
It's a pity that I have a good face.
"Oh, my wife was the belle of the entire military back then. She's no worse than your wife." When it comes to comparing wives, the old man is not afraid at all.
"Just blow it."
After chatting and laughing for a while, Mr. Guan started complaining to Wen Li.
If it was someone else, he definitely wouldn't say it, but he was happy to tell this brother he recognized.
"Do you think the old family will be happy?" So many years have passed, he has grown old, and it is time for the children to separate.
That’s right, the official family has not yet split up.
For families like theirs, dividing the family property is not about dividing money, but about dividing resources.
Wen Li glanced at Old Man Guan and asked seriously, "You really want to divide it this way? Do you know that among your three sons, the eldest is the most promising, but he has a bad temper."
Wen Li is not optimistic about his elder brother's children.
Each of them has problems, and no one can truly support this family.
"The second and third brothers are even worse." Old Man Guan's face was full of regret.
If I had taught more back then, would the result be different now?
"Children and grandchildren have their own blessings. What else can you do? You have already retired." The sons had no objection to Wen Li's separation, but one of them had to consider the overall situation.
If there is no one who considers the overall situation, the family will fall apart.
It's okay as long as the old man is around. Everyone gives him some face for his sake. But face is something that can be said to be valuable or worthless. Haha, it really is worthless.
"Yeah, what can I do?" Old Guan became depressed at this time.
If possible, he really hoped that the person in front of him was his son, but he was not happy.
He also wants to adopt him as his godson.
When I just said this, he kicked me out of the house and ignored me for a long time.
I thought that a godson is still a son, and in the future he would take better care of my three useless children for my sake.
Unexpectedly, he was not happy about it and still wanted to be his elder brother.
This time, Mr. Guan was unhappy.
In the end, after everyone's persuasion, he became his younger brother.
"Don't worry, at least they have enough food and clothing, and they can make a living. In the future, you won't be able to see them anymore, and you won't have to worry about them." Wen Li looked down on these parents who couldn't let go.
The three children in his family are much better than the three in the official family. Sometimes, he is really grateful to his father.
He taught Gen'er and Chang'er so well.
"Do you know how to speak?" Knowing is one thing, but being revealed is another.
"You still don't want to hear the truth, huh." Wen Li didn't tolerate him.
After chatting and laughing for most of the afternoon, all the officials had arrived.
Looking at his nephews who looked older than himself, Wen Li curled his lips and looked down on them.
"Dad, today is not a festival, why did you ask us to come back?" Guan Lao San said with a dissatisfied look on his face.
He arrived last and ruined the atmosphere as soon as he arrived.
Looking at his useless little son, Old Man Guan was almost angry to death.
The official glared at his younger brother.
He had some idea why they were gathering today. After so many years, his father had finally come to terms with it.
Not taking everything into my own hands.
"No one will think you are dumb if you speak less." Guan Lao Er also looked down on his idle brother.
But what can I do? Everything is locked in the old man's hands.
He also wants to expand his business, but the old man is unwilling to help. What can he do?
His abilities are there, and the next step depends on the old man.
Guan Laosan curled his lips, but also shut them up.
"Let's eat first." Mr. Guan didn't want to embarrass himself since his younger brother was here.
Besides, he was afraid that if he talked about it now, he would not be able to eat later.
After the meal, the old man put down his bowl and chopsticks and talked about dividing the family property.
Wen Li and Xia Yutong were spectators throughout the whole process and did not participate.
If Wen Li hadn't wanted to come, she wouldn't have planned to come and listen.
Boring.
When they heard about the division of the family property, the three sons opened their eyes wide, waiting for the old man's next words.
"Give the military's resources to the boss." The biggest resource in his hands is the military.
He also had conditions for giving it to the eldest son. In the family, the eldest son was the only one who took this path.
The second and third sons didn't interrupt, they just listened.
"As for connections, give it to the second brother." The second brother is in business, and he has face and some favors to deal with, so it's just right to give it to him.
The third child is neither too high nor too low.
"Give half of the family property to the third brother." When the last things were divided, the old man said nothing and looked at the three brothers.
When the eldest son's wife heard that so much property was given to the third son, she was unhappy.
But no matter how unhappy she was, she knew that she had no say in the matter.
He made a lot of movements and even pinched the official to the point of feeling pain.
Finally, he brushed away her mischievous hand.
"Dad, are you sure?" He knew better than anyone else how much benefit there was.
This is the best way to divide it, but will the second and third brothers be happy with it?
Sure enough, Guan Lao San was unhappy.
"Dad, you are too partial. You give them the bulk of the money, and I only have this little money. What can I do with it?" He was very unhappy.
The old man is too partial. He always says that he loves him the most, but it's just talk.
After a quarrel, the eldest and second oldest brothers finally gave in and gave all the property to the third oldest brother, as they didn't want it.
I don’t know how much wealth I can earn from what I have.
After making a fuss, Guan Laosan got what he wanted. He stopped making a fuss and said with a smile that he wanted to take his father out to play.
The family was divided, and luckily it wasn't too embarrassing.
Old Master Guan looked at Wen Li. The main reason he called him here today was that he wanted him to take care of his family when he was gone.
Even though this kid doesn't work every day, his abilities are beyond the reach of our own children.
"Brother, I'll trouble you from now on." Old Man Guan said to Wen Li in front of everyone, as if entrusting an orphan to someone else.
Wen Li waved his hands. He really didn't know that his elder brother had such an idea.
Putting aside other things, he has no good feelings towards these three nephews.
Take care of them, haha, come on.
"Brother, please let me be a witness and look after them. I am not a person of high status and I can't take care of them." Wen Li is not stupid.
Xia Yutong stopped teasing the child and sat up straight.
Wen Li acted like this because he was angry.
He just really liked this person, but he didn't expect that others would start taking advantage of him.
"Brother, that's not the case. I know what kind of person you are. I'm more than capable of taking care of the three of them."
He didn't find out the Ouyang family's background, and it was because he didn't find out that he had this idea.
At the beginning, he really liked this person, but after getting to know her for a long time, he realized that everyone has selfish motives.
"Brother, if you want tea, I have it. As for other things, you should find someone else. I don't have the ability to do that." Wen Li shook his head and stood up.
"I won't interfere in your family affairs, brother. Come to me anytime if you want to have tea." After saying that, he took his wife's hand and left.
Left.
That’s right, just left like that.
The three children of the official family had some objections to their uncle, but the old man was very strict with them on this matter. If they were impolite in the slightest, they would be punished.
When Mr. Guan saw the man leave angrily, he sighed, "Alas." His family was not so lucky.
Seeing the old man so unhappy, Guan Lao San said unhappily: "It's just that they have some money. Dad, you think too highly of them." Humph, he just doesn't like him.
Mr. Guan glared at the third brother and said harshly, "You know nothing."
Wen Li and Xia Yutong no longer cared about what was happening on the government side.
After the two returned home, Wen Li sighed, "You can't escape the ways of the world no matter where you go." He thought he was just simply recognizing an older brother, but he wasn't expecting that.
"Oh, you still can't see through it." Xia Yutong smiled. This guy is really in love.
Even my own brothers are like this, there are very few who are harmonious with each other.
Not to mention such a godparent.
Unless you are lucky enough to meet a pure person.
Where in the world can one find such a person?
Unhappy Wen Li pulled his wife and ran away.
Where are you running to?
Going on vacation, of course.
"You really know how to choose a place." When Xia Yutong arrived in the South China Sea, she was confused.
I didn't expect him to act so quickly and leave as soon as he said he would.
"Of course, we haven't had a good time yet." Living in the resort hotel and looking at the scenery outside, Wen Li's sense of dissatisfaction had long since dissipated.
"Hehe, we haven't played yet. Tell me, how many worlds have we played in?" Xia Yutong rarely joked with him.
"That's because he was worried about something, unlike now when he is physically and mentally relaxed." Men are sometimes more sensitive than women.
"Yes, Wenli, do you regret leaving?" She had wanted to ask this for a long time.
But I never dared to ask.
She also wanted to tell him about the time travel, but she was afraid he would...
"What's there to let go of? Just know that they are doing well. Even if we are here, we can't be with them for long." I have let it go a long time ago.
Staring into her eyes, he understood that she was somewhat worried about him.
"If you want, let's..." Wen Li leaned over and whispered in her ear, "Give another child."
Without waiting for Xia Yutong to say anything, he started making a baby without any hesitation.
The hotel really tries to give guests the best experience.
Lights, special water beds, etc. are all prepared for the guests.
Just to make guests have a happy stay and be satisfied with their use.
