Chapter 210

The fourth child has a quick mind, many ideas, and is bold and daring. He is a good kid.

Of course, he had to admit that even so, the family would not be handed over to the fourth son to inherit.

After all, in their family, what has been passed down from generation to generation is that the eldest son inherits most of the family business and the position of head of the family, while the other sons have to separate and live on their own.

Even if the fourth brother is suitable, if the Zhang family is still doing business, he can only assist the eldest brother.

However, now, the old man's ideas have changed a little.

After all, it is a new era now, and their family has not been doing business for a long time. On the contrary, the old man does not have as strong feudal ideas as before.

For example, this time, although the bulk of the money was given to the eldest room, he also gave a lot of things to the other rooms to store.

It is definitely much more than what the Zhang family had distributed to the sons of other branches.

Hearing the old man talking about these past events and his thoughts, Zhang Lin took the old man's arm to comfort him.

Their eldest wife is the vested interest and the heir to most of the family property, so she really can't say anything too hypocritical.

But if the old man wanted to divide the family property equally, let alone people like her and her elder sister who came from the future, they were already used to being treated fairly, at least that was the case for the two sisters. Even Zhang Yaowen and Chen Yuwei would definitely not object or have any opinions.

After all, Zhang Yaowen had never run a business himself. He had always been a teacher and a school principal...

Given his personality, he doesn't value money more than his life.

It was just because of the Zhang family's tradition. He thought it was normal for the old man to say how the property should be distributed, after all, it had been like this for generations.

If Zhang Changshun said he wanted to change, he would definitely not object.

Zhang Lin has been here for so many years, and she knows the personalities of her family members very well.

In her previous life, she spent money lavishly and never haggled over money with others, all because of her father's influence.

Her father is such a carefree, upright and loyal person, and he was also one of the sources of the quarrels between her parents.

Due to her genes, she and her sister are not generous to outsiders, but they are not petty either, let alone with their family members.

Seeing that the old man had calmed down, Zhang Lin told him the story of his fourth uncle and second brother's mother.

Because the search was for information about Zhang Yaozong, no information about Qin Chengfeng's biological mother was mentioned. Only some information related to Zhang Yaozong after they met was mentioned.

After leaving his hometown, Zhang Yaozong went directly to the mountain city.

He worked as a temporary worker, a peddler, and later opened a shop.

Qin Chengfeng's mother came to the store to buy something and met Zhang Yaozong.

Although the two people's hometowns were only separated by a brigade, they did not know each other.

After all, Qin Chengfeng's mother went to the county town to study when she was in her teens, and later went to the mountain city, so the two had no intersection.

Qin Chengfeng's mother was often harassed by those men, especially their workshop manager.

Their workshop director fell in love with her and wanted to marry her and make her the stepmother of his child.

Although Qin Chengfeng's mother was spoiled since she was a child, her temperament was a little crooked. She couldn't even raise her own children, so how could she possibly be someone else's stepmother?

If she didn't want to save face and live a decent life, she wouldn't work so hard.

During a harassment, Zhang Yaozong saved Qin Chengfeng's mother, and the two gradually became closer.

The two got married not long after they got together. At that time, Zhang Yaozong's business was doing well. He opened several branches and was doing very well.

Although it was not large in scale, it was pretty good in that era.

Later, the wind changed and Zhang Yaozong was very sensitive to the problem.

Some of his business partners mentioned going abroad to avoid the limelight. Not wanting to be a burden for others, Zhang Yaozong, who had worked hard for so many years in vain, also began to prepare to go abroad.

He was a daring person, and Qin Chengfeng's mother had no objection when she heard about going abroad, so the two of them smuggled away.

The two first went to Southeast Asia, where there are many Chinese people, but information shows that next year, the two will set off for the United States, and then they will encounter pirates hijacking their ship. In order to protect his wife, Zhang Yaozong eventually died.

Qin Chengfeng's mother survived, but her property was stolen.

Fortunately, she hid a few valuable things in the seam pockets of her closest clothes, and because they were on her stomach, they were not discovered.

After robbing a lot of people's property, those people were ready to search them. Fortunately, reinforcements arrived, and after a chaotic fight, the pirates seized the ship and escaped.

After all, they were just a small group of pirates with weak strength, otherwise the entire ship would not have escaped.

The information ends here...

The reason why he could see Qin Chengfeng’s mother’s property being robbed was because Zhang Yaozong was still struggling at the time and saw his property being looted with his own eyes.

Zhang Changshun and Zhang Lin both looked unhappy.

They thought of many possible outcomes for Zhang Yaozong, but they never imagined that he would be connected with pirates.

After all, the word "pirate" was too far-fetched for them, especially Zhang Changshun. If he had not done business before and had not been exposed to overseas business after the opening of Shancheng as a port, he would have had no idea what pirate was.

"When next year?"

"Next summer."

Zhang Lin felt a little scared.

She must be careful in the future and not ignore these family members whom she didn't even know in her previous life but whom her relatives care about.

If she hadn't discovered that her father was secretly looking for someone, she might have missed the time of her fourth uncle's death.

Zhang Changshun also looked relieved.

“How are they doing in Southeast Asia now?”

"According to the information, life in Southeast Asia was pretty good and I made a lot of money. However, I heard that the United States was a better place to make money, with more opportunities and it was more developed, so I became interested."

Zhang Lin found some information about Zhang Yaozong's friends from his information.

“But there may be something wrong with this person.”

Zhang Lin looked serious.

"This person went to Southeast Asia at the same time as my fourth uncle, and they were both doing business."

"Moreover, this man started out doing a different business from Fourth Uncle. Later, when he saw Fourth Uncle's business was getting better and better, while his was getting worse and worse, he changed his business and even asked Fourth Uncle for advice. It was almost Fourth Uncle who single-handedly supported him in building his business."

Zhang Changshun frowned slightly.

"Your fourth uncle is really smart. Although he is taciturn, he is very clever and should not be deceived by others."

Zhang Changshun knew Zhang Yaozong very well.

Zhang Lin nodded: "That's right, but it's possible that this person was nice at first, but later on he became interested."

"Otherwise, why, we had clearly agreed to go to the United States together, but this person encouraged Fourth Uncle and then refused at the last minute?"

"Even if the pirate incident was an accident and had nothing to do with him, he cannot completely escape responsibility for Fourth Uncle's death."

Originally, Zhang Yaozong had no intention of going to the United States.

"We'll investigate and see if it's really related to him..."

A flash of cold light flashed in Zhang Changshun's eyes, for fear of scaring Zhang Lin.
