Chapter 169
The family chatted for half the night, and Zhang Wan told several people in detail about her family background in this life.
The Zhang family in the capital was a large family as early as the last era. The ancestor of the Zhang family at that time was a high-ranking official in that dynasty, holding the rank of second-rank official, a very important position.
Later, during the war, members of the Zhang family joined the army and did business. Although not as prosperous as during the glorious period, it was one of the few families in the capital that did not completely decline due to the change of dynasties.
But in recent years, the Zhang family has become much more low-key, and a scumbag has emerged from the family, who is Zhang Wan's second uncle in this life.
Mr. Zhang had three sons and three daughters. During the war, one son and one daughter died.
His eldest son, Zhang Wan's father in this life, also died in a war in 1965.
Her mother died of depression, leaving behind Zhang Wan, who was less than ten years old.
But Zhang Wan's parents were wealthy, and Zhang Wan's mother's family was once a wealthy businessman in Beijing. Moreover, Zhang Wan's grandfather had lost all his other sons, leaving only this one daughter.
Zhang Wan's second uncle and second aunt had long been jealous of the eldest wife's family's abundant assets.
After Zhang Wan's parents passed away, he wanted to take over the eldest wife's property in the name of taking care of Zhang Wan...
When Zhang Wan is reborn or her memory awakens more than one year later, she simultaneously receives all the experiences of Zhang Wan's 'original body' in her life.
Originally, Zhang Wan was indeed adopted by the second wife. She was only ten years old, and except for a small amount of assets arranged by her mother, which had no one to inherit for the time being, all the family property was "kept" by the second wife.
At the beginning, Mr. Zhang, who was already in poor health, opposed it.
He knew very well the character of his own second son.
He is simply a scum of the Zhang family, cowardly and greedy, and he even suspects that he was born with the wrong parents when he was young. Why doesn't he look like a member of the Zhang family at all?
Unfortunately, he understood that there was nothing wrong with the child, but his temperament had changed for some reason.
However, Zhang Wan was young at that time and was deceived by her uncle, aunt and cousin. Having lost her mother's love, Zhang Wan felt care and consideration from her aunt and thought that her aunt would take care of her and accompany her like her biological mother, just as she had said.
The little girl who suddenly lost her parents longed for the warmth of family and the love of her mother.
Although her grandfather was very good to her, he was an old man after all, and he did not have the warmth of a mother.
Seeing that Zhang Wan had made up her mind and insisted on following the second wife, Mr. Zhang sighed, but he had no choice but to follow her.
Still, with the old man watching all the time, the second branch dared not do anything for a while. In addition, Zhang Wan had not yet inherited her mother's property, which was countless times more than their eldest brother's assets.
During those years, Zhang Wan lived a pretty good life.
Although the second house was only putting in superficial efforts and did not really care about Zhang Wan, at least she could live there, which was better than an orphan girl being alone.
Over the years, Zhang Wan was brainwashed so badly that she ended up becoming a tool who believed in her aunt and cousin wholeheartedly.
In her previous life, after she became an adult and was about to inherit the family property, her second uncle became "seriously ill". In order to save his life, she needed to consider the money. Without discussing it with her grandfather, half of the property that had just been collected was taken away by the second wife.
Later, her cousin's boyfriend pretended to be close to Zhang Wan and gained her trust. After they got engaged, Zhang Wan was tricked into handing over her property to her fiancé to help manage it.
Once the money was in hand, Zhang Wan was naturally useless.
If her scumbag husband and the second wife had a conscience and spared Zhang Wan's life, that would be all.
But they didn't. In order to give Zhang Wan time to react and cause trouble, the scumbag directly asked Zhang Wan to go out, and then had the thugs surround Zhang Wan.
Zhang Wan didn't want to be humiliated, so she ran into the wall and died.
Mr. Zhang, who had already fallen on the bed, was so angry that he died.
At this point, all of the Zhang family's property fell into the hands of the second branch.
Moreover, Zhang Wan's second uncle, Lian Xiangyang, was not given a funeral by his grandfather. He was buried hastily on the grounds that the times were special and he could not be buried...
When Zhang Wan received these memories, she was furious on the spot.
It is precisely because of the bizarre experiences that Zhang Wan has experienced that she begins to wonder whether she is the Zhang Wan of this world.
Because, with her personality, it is absolutely impossible for her to be so puA to others. You have to know that she and her sister have been sober since childhood.
Because they were not accompanied by their parents early on and lived alone, they were afraid of being cheated. They were very vigilant and never easily trusted others. Whether it was friendship, love or family, they were very rational.
The only people they can trust 100% are each other.
Zhang Wan didn't quite believe it. If she was the Zhang Wan of this world, how could she be so stupid?
"What if it's because his soul is incomplete and he's affected by the plot or the aura?"
Zhang Lin pondered.
Zhang Wan nodded.
“That’s possible.”
"Since this is a novel world, there must be other main characters. Maybe Zhang Hui from the second room and that scumbag are one of the main supporting characters."
However, in this life, after Zhang Wan woke up, she started to deal with the second wife and the scumbag.
Because Mr. Zhang had never experienced those things, Zhang Wan did not do anything too obvious or excessive.
Within seven days after she woke up, she moved out of the second room and moved into the old house to live with her grandfather. At the same time, she forcefully took back most of her property with the intervention of the street and other public security agencies.
However, a small part of it had been squandered by the Second House in the name of raising Zhang Wan in recent years. Zhang Wan had no concrete evidence, and the Second House was also a member of the Zhang family after all, so those people had to give them some face. In the end, they persuaded them to reconcile and the matter was settled.
For the sake of her grandfather, Zhang Wan relented on the surface, but secretly, she continued to cause trouble for the second wife and Zhang Hui.
Within half a year, Zhang Wan had ruined the reputation of that scumbag, and he was sent to a farm for reform, becoming a bad element.
Zhang Hui was also implicated and had to be sent to the countryside by the second wife.
Zhang Wan naturally used her connections to make Zhang Hui suffer a lot.
Her second uncle's career was also blocked because of Zhang Wan's actions. Not only did he not get promoted as in the plot, but he was criticized and demoted because of some mistakes, and he has no hope of promotion in this life.
The old man was not aware of some of this, but he saw everything that happened between Zhang Hui and the scumbag, but he did not stop it.
Although she has no memory of this life story, Zhang Hui has teamed up with the scumbag to deceive Zhang Wan.
If Zhang Wan had not been "reborn" early, she would have been hooked.
The old man hated Zhang Hui very much.
There is no such thing as the Zhang family who would betray their own family and harm their sisters' descendants.
Moreover, the old man had already made a will, and all his property would be inherited by Zhang Wan from now on. Even the two grandsons from the second wife would not get a penny.
Because those two grandsons had already gone astray under the upbringing of their parents.
He has no respect for the elderly and is selfish. He is worse than his nephew from a different family.
However, my grandfather had been abroad before and had quite modern ideas, without any concept of favoring boys over girls.
In their Zhang family, besides him, there are many other branches, including his younger brothers. As for the Zhang family's inheritance, it wouldn't matter if he were missing one more.
