Chapter 126 Eldest Son and Grandson
My dad stood up suddenly and said, "What are you talking about? Don't make such jokes in front of your mother when you get home."
Grandma looked at my dad with some dissatisfaction, opened her mouth to say something, but my dad stopped her with a look, and she closed her mouth reluctantly.
At this time, my cousin Xia Junliang came out of the room lazily, with messy hair and dark circles under his eyes. It was obvious that he had stayed up late playing games.
I greeted him politely: "Happy New Year, Brother Junliang."
He replied perfunctorily: "Happy New Year."
He looked at my dad again: "Second uncle came back alone? Without Xiao..."
My father quickly interrupted: "Your aunt didn't come because of something."
Xia Junliang was stunned for a moment, said nothing, sat down and started holding his phone again.
My aunt complained a little, "All he does is look at his phone all day long. He's not looking for a job or a wife. He's almost 25, and he's still like this every day. It's really worrying."
He rolled his eyes and said, "Uncle, Junliang is a college graduate after all. Why don't you let him work in your factory and find a wife for you in T City?"
My grandmother immediately perked up when she heard my aunt say that. "Yes, Mingcheng, they say that fathers and sons fight together in battle. Junliang is your nephew, almost like your son. You might as well let him join you. You can trust your own people."
My father looked embarrassed. He was able to run the factory with stable profits over the years, so he must be not stupid. He knew very well what kind of person his nephew was.
Normally, he would accept paying some money, but when it comes to the operation of the factory, I know he would never let them get involved, otherwise my uncle and cousin would have entered the factory long ago.
My dad used to say that my uncle and cousin had low education levels, that being factory workers would be too tiring, and that being in management wouldn't convince anyone. He'd persuaded them to give up the idea, but now that Xia Junliang was a college graduate, that excuse didn't seem to work. Seeing him struggling, my grandmother's face darkened. Before she could say anything, I said, "He treats my dad's factory like his own son. He wouldn't let me do an internship even though I was in the Fashion Department at A University. Which university did Junliang go to? I've completely forgotten what his major was."
Even though my grandmother was uneducated, she knew the difference between University A and the university my cousin attended. She was a little unhappy, "How can Junliang be the same as a little girl like you? He is the eldest son and grandson of the old Xia family. In the future, he will inherit..."
My dad interrupted her, "Mom, don't worry about my factory. He studied computer science, which is not needed in my factory. He should find a job in the county first. After he has work experience, he can think about moving up to the next level. Don't quit after working for one or two months. No company would dare to hire him if he keeps doing that."
Xia Junliang had been silent all the time, concentrating on playing games. Only after hearing what my father said did he raise his eyelids, and a trace of resentment flashed in his eyes.
My heart skipped a beat. Why would my cousin hold a grudge against my dad? Then I heard him say, "Grandma, stop it. No matter how important I am as the eldest son and grandson, how can I be more important than my second uncle's biological child?"
Grandma seemed to have thought of something and pursed her lips unwillingly.
I suddenly realized, yes, they knew that my father had a son, so their original intentions of getting my father’s property were now in vain, right?
My cousin's words made my father unhappy. As far as I can remember, he has been spending a lot of money on my cousin. But my cousin's words just now were obviously full of resentment, and he didn't remember my father's kindness to him at all.
It is true that a little kindness is repaid with a big grain of rice.
