"That won't do!"
Meng Suqin disagreed, "One share for each person, divided equally. Besides, your mother is still making money, and our wealth will only increase in the future. When your brothers grow up, they should be able to get a larger share!"
“If they are not as good as you in the future, you, as their older sister, can help them out. But for now, let’s divide them equally, so that you won’t feel that Mom is biased over time.”
Meng Fuyan laughed and leaned on Meng Suqin's shoulder. "No way. Do you think I don't know how Mom has treated me all these years? She always entrusted me with all the family's money and secrets. Mom trusts me completely."
The most reassuring thing between family members is probably the closed loop of mutual benefits.
Everything in the family is related to you. Even if you are not the only child in the family, you are certain that some things belong to you, and you are not treated like an outsider because you are not favored or because you have a younger brother.
In later generations, only only daughters could enjoy this privilege, and even then, only daughters were rare.
But Meng Fuyan had experienced it.
When her mother had her accident and was about to leave, everything in the family was in her hands. Although her younger brother was still young, she was really worried about her older sister. Her mother had many ways to leave a way out for her brother, or to hide some of the property from her.
But no, she knew everything about the Meng family's villa and ancestral wealth. The small villa in Changning City is still under her name.
Meng Suqin patted her hand, "It's good that you know. Don't worry about your younger brothers. They have me and your father. After you get married, settle down and live a peaceful life. You've been going wild these past few years. It's time to settle down and come back for a few years to live a stable life. You can have a few children, raise them, and if you want to do something in a few years, it's not too late."
Meng Fuyan nodded, "I understand, that was the plan all along."
In a few years, it will be open, and everything will be just right.
The wedding was held in the military canteen as is tradition. The Gu family was especially well-behaved today. Grandpa Gu brought his eldest son and grandson, along with several other important descendants, all dressed in new clothes, making it look very festive.
Xu Honghua and her child looked somewhat unwell, but not too obviously, clearly because they had been reprimanded by Old Master Gu. Lu Guozhong was surprised to see the Gu family sitting at the table.
"They actually came!"
Meng Suqin was also surprised, "I guess he was threatened by Tingzhi."
Lu Guozhong shook his head. "It's probably not that. That old guy must have a new idea."
At the wedding, Meng Fuyan wore a red dress and her hair was styled in an updo, looking charming and beautiful. She didn't actually know most of the people present, but she was still very curious about the Gu family who were there.
She was even more surprised when she received that thick red envelope from Grandpa Gu.
Not only was it unexpected, but my lips twitched.
If this thickness were all from the "Great Unity" (a unit of currency), it would be worth 10,000. The key point is, they even gave two.
At that time, the largest denomination was ten yuan. What does ten thousand yuan mean? It's equivalent to the value of 100,000 yuan in later generations.
These two big bricks were given to her...
Meng Fuyan didn't know what to say.
Upon seeing the two thick bricks, Gu Tingzhi's eyelids twitched.
Grandpa Gu smiled kindly, "Tingzhi, you are my precious grandson. Of course, I will give you all the respect you deserve when you marry."
Gu Tingzhi: "..."
