This is basically making people lose their brains.
Perhaps it was the excellence of his successor, but Kui Datou had been cheerful all these years.
However, his two younger brothers were not so happy.
Both Yuanwai and Yuanli have their own opportunities.
After finishing that deal with their older brother, the two of them quit.
This is actually inevitable, because what they did before wasn't exactly something honorable.
Moreover, Wang Shouren dragged his superiors into the scheme. If you stopped immediately afterward, they would turn a blind eye. But if you wanted to continue, that wouldn't be acceptable.
Fortunately, neither of them was stupid; once they had earned enough money, they quit.
After quitting, they each went their own way.
Yuan Wai didn't know what he was going to do at first, so he traveled all over the country.
This kind of play could have been disastrous; it completely destroyed his own home.
After becoming wealthy, they were able to let loose and do whatever they wanted, causing trouble everywhere they went.
He didn't stop until he was about fifty years old. By then, he had about twenty children, from his legal wife to his illegitimate children...
That's pretty outrageous.
And he squandered most of his money.
If he managed to sabotage everything, even if only 10% remained, it would still be enough for him to live a carefree life. The money he earned from his older brother over the years was enough that he could spend ten lifetimes and still not finish it all.
But his sons and daughters are a real handful.
More than twenty people were all thinking about dividing his family fortune.
After thinking it over, he realized it wouldn't work, so he started his own company.
He still does his old job, reselling, but now it's all legal. He really wouldn't dare touch anything illegal.
Thanks to his extensive network of contacts over the years, the company was successfully established and the profits were quite good.
But it was only "not bad." Behind him were more than twenty children, and now that he was getting older, he had grandchildren. He was gradually finding it difficult to keep up.
Moreover, he's getting old and is gradually losing control over his subordinates.
To be honest, among these children, how many truly like him and treat him like a father?
He didn't know either. After all, he had so many mothers.
Moreover, this guy is the kind of irresponsible fellow. Unlike Wang Shouren, who would grab a child and bring them into his own home. He raised his son and daughter with all his heart and soul.
Even Xu Yuanzheng, who came later, spent most of his time with Wang Shouren, who raised him.
This guy just enjoys himself without caring about anything else. Kui Datou tried to persuade him, but he just spouted nonsense like "it's good to have descendants so you can face your ancestors."
After that, Kui Datou stopped contacting Yuan Wai much.
Good brother, I've tried to persuade you, but since our values are different, let's break up. Kui Datou didn't force him.
At his age, whether he can let go of things or not is just how it is. There's not much to say.
As for Yuan Li, after what happened with his older brother, he also started living his own life.
Unlike Yuan Wai, this kid didn't abandon his wife and children; instead, he devoted himself to scholarship. The scholarship he was referring to wasn't anything else, but philosophy. According to Kui Datou, this kid has become rather eccentric, spending all his time pondering something.
He was alright to his family, but didn't really take care of them.
However, his sons and grandsons weren't actually very close to him, since he had always been away from home when he was young. Even now that he's old and back, he doesn't seem to have the self-awareness of an elder, only interested in academic pursuits. His wife, on the other hand, treats him the same as she did back then.
Back then, all three of them went to the countryside to marry women.
Kui Datou and Yuan Li were quite devoted to each other; they only had this one woman in their lives. Unlike Yuan Wai, who was really not picky.
Because of his constant academic pursuits, Yuan Li has developed a certain air about him. This is a good thing, at least his son and grandson, though not close, still respect this cultured man.
Most of these old friends came today just to get together, except for Fatty Yuan, who really had something to do.
However, Wang Shouren didn't mind. He continued to drink and chat, not with strong liquor, but with his own concoction of medicinal wine. He had become increasingly proficient in the "medicinal" aspects of Tai Chi, and this wine wouldn't harm his health; it might even have some benefits. Paired with some barbecue, it made for a thoroughly enjoyable gathering.
He's having a good time eating.
But some people felt uncomfortable.
The "someone" here does not refer to an individual.
Rather, it's people like "Qin Tian".
Qin Shou was at home playing with his grandson when Qin Tian wandered around in front of him.
Qin Shou said helplessly, "Brother, after all these years, sometimes if you think less about things, you won't have so many worries."
"What nonsense are you spouting? If Wang Shouren hadn't received any news, why would he inexplicably run off to the south?" Qin Tian said with exasperation, "When you were young, you liked to run around. Well, now that your father is gone, you prefer to stay at home! You're always causing me trouble."
Qin Shou looked helplessly at the woman knitting a sweater next to him and said, "Sister-in-law, what do you think of my brother?"
The old woman sighed, "If I could explain it, I would have said it already. He doesn't believe me, what can I do? I think your brother is just bored. Let him think about it."
"Hmph, that's just womanly thinking! What do you know!"
Qin Shou and the old woman exchanged a glance, both seeing the helplessness in each other's eyes.
Qin Tian was alright when he was young, but as he grew older, he became increasingly obsessive. The older he got, the more competitive he became, and he also had a strange anxiety, as if he was genuinely afraid that someone might harm him. This caused quite a stir at home. Fortunately, his sons and grandchildren had all grown up and were now the fourth generation.
There are basically no problems.
He's anxious, fine, but he just happens to like dragging Qin Shou into his anxiety too.
After analyzing this and that, the situation became even more serious after he retired.
Qin Shou didn't care; he had been living a very comfortable life all these years. When he was young, he followed Wang Shouren and researched ways to sell products, and he actually managed to open up a channel for himself. In his own words, the process of opening up his channel was thrilling; with his experience, writing a novel of several million words wouldn't be a problem.
When he reached middle age, Qin Tian pulled him back to help him sell things, and there were quite a lot of things to sell.
