Chapter 193, The Zhong Family Can’t Trap You
“It must be Zhong Youyan who did this. She was the first to know that my fourth brother was dead. I’m going to settle the score with her!”
Xie Jinzhao dropped the offerings in the basket and turned to leave.
Xie Jinqian stopped him, “Don’t be impulsive!”
“The Zhong Family is the number one merchant family in the capital. If you offend her, how are you going to do business in the capital when I’m gone?”
“Besides, wasn’t it you who helped my fourth brother to ruin her reputation? She has every reason to hate us!”
Xie Jinzhao was unconvinced, “Brother, have you ever doubted that she killed my fourth brother?”
He always felt that something was fishy.
My fourth brother had always been pretending to be sick, so how could he suddenly die!
Zhong Youyan must have done something cruel to the fourth brother, otherwise she would not have died so suddenly without even a corpse!
"Do you know what cause and effect mean?" Xie Jinqian asked him back.
"If you and the fourth brother hadn't planned to let her marry in, the fourth brother wouldn't have suffered. If I hadn't emptied the Xie family's money, how could the old lady threaten the Zhong family to arrange this marriage?"
"Third brother, she is wrong, are we not?"
"Have you asked the fourth brother if he wants to live?"
Xie Jinqian's expression was complicated.
Although he was very good to his two younger brothers, he was still rational and objective.
He still knew which was more beneficial to them, becoming enemies or becoming partners with such a family.
"What do you mean?" Xie Jinzhao asked.
What do you mean that the fourth brother doesn't want to live?
Xie Jinqian sighed, "The day I came back, I summoned the fourth brother's soul back to tell him. He said in person that Zhong Youyan helped him, and he wanted to repay her for what she had done. He didn't want to linger in this world full of scheming and oppression, and he wanted to go to reincarnation with ease!" As soon as
he returned to the Xie Mansion that day, he summoned the soul after offering wine . These were the awakenings that the fourth brother had exchanged for his life. He will definitely be reborn into a good family, without violence, with the love of his mother. "Brother, what do you think we should do?" Xie Jinzhao paced back and forth. It's not right to avenge this revenge, and it's not right not to avenge it. But they have to go to the grave, and they have to tell the fourth brother that their agreement is fulfilled! "The benefits of becoming a partner with the Zhong family are above all else. Third brother, if you want to know where fourth brother is buried, the best way is for you to go and apologize in person!" Xie Jinzhao replied. Xie Jinzhao hesitated for a long time, and his clenched fists suddenly loosened, "Okay, I'll listen to my brother!" The more discord he had with the Zhong family in the past, the more uncomfortable he felt now! "I know you feel unbalanced, but the dead will not come back to life because of your revenge. You have to make plans for yourself and your children to gain a foothold in the capital in the future. I can't protect you all your life! I hate her too. If it weren't for her, that batch of goods might..." The previous batch of goods was mixed up by Zhong Youyan, and the people of the Zhong family will definitely punish her for treading on the water. This punishment is enough. If he attacks Zhong Youyan again, he will be seen as a villain. Besides, two groups of people showed up that night. Even if Zhong Youyan was not there, something would happen sooner or later. For now, the only way is to make peace with the Zhong family and seek cooperation in the future to get more money. Xie Jinzhao nodded, "I'll go by myself. What are your plans for the next step, brother?" "Me? Of course I'll go see her!" "Who?" " ······It's inconvenient to say, let's go back first!" /// Zhong Family. Zhong Youyan knelt in the ancestral hall with her face raised high. Behind her were Zhong's father and a group of clan elders who were holding a ruler to enforce family discipline. "Rebellious girl! It would have been fine if you had just left the Xie family, but now you are so bold that you even dare to get involved in such underground black goods! What do you think our Zhong family is? Are you using the whole family's business to play with you?" Zhong's father was so angry that his hands trembled, and he hit her back hard with the ruler in his hand! Zhong Youyan groaned, but still straightened her back and said firmly, "When you forced me to marry into the Xie family and gave money to the Xie family to fill the holes, why didn't you think about whether I had already stepped into the Hunshui at that time?" "Everything I did was to make up for the mistakes of the Zhong family! I did nothing wrong!" If she had not married into the Xie family and did not use money to subsidize the operation of the Xie family's business. Then this year, many fewer people would have been killed by this thing! Now that she has divorced successfully, she can't just sit there and watch that thing continue to harm people! If there is any fault, who here is not! "It's Yan! Just admit your fault, your father won't blame you!" Mother Zhong knelt down with her, holding her hand and almost crying. There are so many elders outside, waiting for the explanation from Father Zhong. If the daughter refuses to admit her fault, she will definitely be condemned in a while! She doesn't want to see such a thing happen again! Zhong Youyan's eyebrows moved slightly, "Mom! I'm not wrong!" After that, she helped Zhong's mother up, then stood up and looked at her father, "Father, we are businessmen, right?" Zhong's father didn't understand why she asked this, "Nonsense!" "Then who does the money we earn come from?" "The people are our parents who provide us with food and clothing!" "But if because of our decision, the things that poison the people are allowed to stay for another year, are we also at fault?" Zhong Youyan asked back. Seeing her father choking up, she continued, "You taught me since I was young that businessmen are easily blinded by profit! We should be positive and make clean money." "The people are the breadwinners of businessmen. If we watch them being abused and remain indifferent, or even become accomplices, then how can the money we earn be clean?"
"It's not a matter of how much money our parents earn, but you and I know the truth and we don't stop it. Today the people are suffering, tomorrow the people are dying. Over time, there will be even fewer people, and who will do our business?"
"We are not only businessmen, but also the people of Daxia. We cannot be unjust to the country and ruthless to the people. The more money we have, the greater the responsibility. We cannot let the money spent by the people become a sharp blade for South Vietnam to attack Daxia!"
"Without the protection of the country, how could our Zhong family be so rich today?"
"In this case, do you still think I did something wrong?"
Zhong Youyan stood straight, but only she knew how much pain she felt when she was beaten with the family law just now.
No matter how painful it is, you must straighten your back and be an upright person!
Father Zhong sighed deeply and slowly put down the ruler in his hand!
"Forget it, forget it. I've been doing business for many years, but this is the first time I've heard such words. My good daughter, the Zhong family... I'm afraid they can't trap you!"
Zhong Youyan knew her father's dilemma. She pursed her lips and said, "I'll go and tell the elders outside!"
She didn't want to embarrass her father anymore.
Just as she was about to step out of the ancestral hall, she heard a servant come to report, "Master, Madam, Miss, the third master of the Xie family is here."
Zhong Youyan widened her eyes and turned back to look at her parents.
The three of them had grim expressions.
Oh no, it must be the Xie family who's here to seek revenge!
