Chapter 329

Zhang Yaozong looked at these things in amazement, and his other brothers were not much better.

Only Zhang Yaowen and his wife remained calm.

They also released the portion of property they had previously received, which was much larger than the others.

However, according to the Zhang family's tradition, the eldest branch should inherit the vast majority of the property, and the other branches can only get a small portion.

This pile is no longer noticeable, it is just one or two times more.

Zhang Changshun was also very generous in his actions. He did not force his daughter-in-law like the elders.

When the daughters-in-law saw this, they guessed something in their hearts and were all excited and very moved.

They all felt that they were very lucky to marry into a sensible family like the Zhang family.

Especially for Han Hua, the contrast between her natal family and her husband's family is so strong that she cherishes them even more.

"At that time, due to the situation, all the family property that was visible was handed over..."

Zhang Changshun sat on the chair with a sigh on his face.

The brothers couldn't help but hold their breath and listen to Zhang Changshun.

"Yes, we hid a lot of good things in the courtyard of the mountain city..."

Zhang Yaozong was stunned.

"Our family's yard in Shancheng was not handed over."

"It's abandoned. It's too far away. Even if it's handed in, it won't be of much use. After it's confiscated, it can't be used."

Zhang Changshun understood that it was mainly because they had deliberately ignored this courtyard at the beginning. Otherwise, there would always be some people who would use their power to seize the courtyard and turn it into a holiday villa or something like that.

Zhang Yaozu and Zhang Yaozong, who had memories of that courtyard, were both excited.

After all, their childhood memories were there, but Zhang Yaojun was a little confused.

"What yard?"

He really didn't know. He was the youngest and had only just turned 40 for a while. He had no impression of that yard at all.

"It's our Zhang family's old house in the mountain city."

Zhang Yaowen explained.

Zhang Yaojun suddenly realized.

At that time, the Zhang family was a long-lasting and prosperous family in several major cities in the southwest. Although it was not a first-class family, it was also a prominent family.

They are not nouveau riche, but have a foundation accumulated through more than a dozen generations of business.

Even in the feudal era, merchants did not have a high status, but they were rich.

The accumulation from generation to generation, if not for a few generations who were not ambitious and lost a lot of the family property, and if not for the division of families from generation to generation which also divided up a lot of the family property, the Zhang family would have been even more exaggerated.

Fortunately, since the decades of war, the Zhang family has started to keep a low profile, gradually reducing their visible industries, and gradually becoming less exaggerated.

Later, after selling most of the industries in the city, especially those in the county, he returned to his hometown to become a landlord, and further reduced the size of the Zhang family. Not to mention outsiders, even the side branches of the Zhang family who had left in previous generations thought that the Zhang family had already declined.

Zhang Changshun asked several people to open the boxes in several rooms.

The antique gold ornaments, jade and gold bars, and various calligraphy and painting old objects are dazzling to look at.

"Some of these were hidden away before, and a small part was collected secretly by me a few years ago."

Zhang Changshun explained.

After he learned this information from Linlin, how could he not collect any of it?

However, most of those things were not previously hidden by the Zhang family, but they still looked impressive enough.

"This part belongs to your eldest brother and his wife."

Zhang Changshun was not worried about the children's opinions, so he simply divided out the part that Zhang Yaowen and his wife had previously released.

The brothers all nodded.

Even if several daughters-in-law nodded, it would be meaningless.

They knew the Zhang family's tradition, and being able to distribute things in this way was already very good.

Instead, Zhang Yaowen and Chen Yuwei felt a little uncomfortable.

They shared a room, but actually they had more than that, it was just divided among the children in advance.

In the yard, Zhang Lin and Zhang Wan also touched their noses, feeling a little apologetic.

[Sister, should we tell the other families about the map?]

Zhang Lin always felt that the map was not simple. The more people knew about it, the more troubles he might encounter in the future.

Zhang Wan was silent for a moment. Although the two sisters were not greedy for money, it might not be a good thing to tell others about this kind of thing.

"Let's put the map together first, and then we'll see what Grandpa, my parents, and my eldest brother decide."

Zhang Lin sighed.

Zhang Wan nodded.

The property was quickly divided up.

Zhang Yaowen was very pleased to see that his younger brothers had no objections and accepted his share very kindly. They also said that they would leave a portion for their parents.

Zhang Yaowen immediately took out a box, divided it into points, and gave them to his younger brothers.

"No, no, brother. As the eldest son, you should inherit the family business. It's already too much for us to get so much."

Zhang Yaozu looked nervous.

Zhang Yaozong looked at the faces of his old father and his elder brother and his wife, and felt even more guilty.

How did he feel so unbalanced that he ran away from home in anger for so many years?

His head must have been caught in the door!

Zhang Yaozong regretted so much that his heart ached.

If he had not been so reckless and stubborn when he was young, he would not have been separated from his family and misunderstood for so many years.

"That's right, brother and sister-in-law, we have a lot, don't share."

Zhang Yaojun didn't expect that he would receive such a big surprise just after returning.

Han Hua and Tian Xiaofen were both stunned.

They have never seen so many good things.

The glittering food and the gold bar made their hearts beat so fast that they almost forgot to breathe.

My grandfather and my eldest brother and his wife are really generous. It's really good to have good things!

Even Lei Yueshu was shocked.

She had heard of the Zhang family when she was young. Like other villagers, she initially suspected that the Zhang family had not handed over all their property. But later, when she saw that the Zhang family remained as low-key and down-to-earth as ever, she gradually came to believe that there was really no good thing about the Zhang family.

Who could have thought that it would give them such a big surprise.

Although she had seen many fine things while doing business abroad, she had never handled so many antique properties.

Before returning to China, the cultural relics Zhang Yaozong collected were not necessarily as golden as these.

Zhang Yaozong's expression changed slightly. In the middle of the night, after everyone in each family quietly moved out of their own alleys, he hesitantly pulled Zhang Changshun.

"Dad, when I was abroad, I dreamed of my ancestors more than once."

Zhang Changshun was confused, with question marks slowly appearing on his forehead.

What the hell

Ancestors

This brat actually dreamed about his ancestors

Why didn't he dream?

Zhang Yaozong saw his old man's stunned expression and smiled bitterly.

"Actually, I'm not sure if it was the ancestor, but from the hint he gave me, I feel like it should be the ancestor."

"That voice kept reminding me to come back and helped me avoid the disaster. Otherwise, I would have been fed to the sharks long ago."
