Chapter 462 Yang Qiushi's Distant Nephew Visits
Xia Juanjuan and Li Zhan were confused for a moment.
On the first day of the Lunar New Year, people usually visit family members to pay New Year's greetings and do not go out to visit relatives. Why is there someone knocking on the door so early in the morning?
Li Zhan didn't let Xia Juanjuan go out, he got up and opened the door.
A man in his forties or fifties and a woman of about the same age were standing outside, holding some gifts in their hands.
Li Zhan didn't know him, so he asked suspiciously, "Who are you looking for?"
The man glanced into the yard and saw such a neat courtyard. He couldn't help but reveal a bit of jealousy and heartache in his eyes.
However, he quickly covered up the past and asked, "I'm looking for Yang Qiushi. Does he live here?"
Li Zhan was stunned for a moment. Looking for Uncle Yang?
"Who are you to him? Why are you looking for him?"
The man quickly said, "I... I am his distant nephew! My name is Yang Wenyuan! We came all the way from Shanghai to wish my uncle a happy new year!"
Li Zhan was stunned for a moment. Didn't Uncle Yang have no relatives? How come a distant nephew suddenly appeared?
Seeing that Li Zhan was silent, the woman who came with the man asked anxiously, "Is my uncle here? Are you trying to hide him and not let us see him?"
Li Zhan felt her words were a bit harsh and couldn't help but look at the woman.
Lizhan had been a soldier for many years and was full of righteousness. Just one glance at him made the woman so frightened that she couldn't help but shudder.
Yang Wenyuan also scolded in a low voice: "Shut up! Do you have the right to speak here?"
The woman hid behind Yang Wenyuan, but still had an unconvinced expression.
Li Zhan said, "Uncle Yang lives here. You guys go in first. Yanyan, go call Uncle Yang over and tell him someone is looking for him."
When Yanyan heard the task assigned by her father, she immediately ran to Yang Qiushi's room in the backyard to call for help.
Yang Wenyuan and the woman looked at the house and its furnishings without restraint. They couldn't help but smack their lips. This house is really nice! It must be worth tens of thousands of dollars at least!
After hearing what Yanyan said, Yang Qiushi's face darkened. He put on his clothes and slowly walked to the front hall.
When Yang Wenyuan and the woman Yuanyuan saw Yang Qiushi coming, they immediately rushed out, knelt down with a thump, and shouted with sobs: "Uncle! I finally see you! I am Wenyuan, this is my wife, we wish you a happy new year!"
At this time, Xia Juanjuan also came out holding Jiaojiao, and couldn't help but look at Lizhan.
Xia Juanjuan remembered that her master seemed to have a distant nephew. When the policy was to return the Yang family's things, Yang Qiushi did not take back the several drug stores in Shanghai because they were originally managed by her master's distant nephew. He just renovated the several drug stores in Beijing, the medicinal materials planting and processing base in Yunnan Province, and the drug stores in several other cities, stocked them, and opened them up.
Such a long time has passed and this distant nephew has never shown up. I don’t know why he suddenly came here today.
Seeing that she had knelt down, Xia Juanjuan quietly pulled Li Zhan, said with a smile that they were going to Shen Wanxue's room to pay New Year's greetings, and then left.
Since he is the master's distant nephew, it is more or less a family affair of the Yang family. Xia Juanjuan and Li Zhan do not intend to get involved, so let Yang Qiushi negotiate on his own.
However, they didn't know what the two people's intention was for suddenly appearing. They wouldn't really come to wish them a happy new year, so they quietly asked the twins to keep an eye on them and call them immediately if anything happened.
When they arrived at Shen Wanxue and Rong Zhenbang's house, Shen Wanxue first carried Jiaojiao over and asked, "I heard some noise outside. Yanyan just said that it was Old Yang's distant nephew who came?"
Xia Juanjuan nodded and said, "Yeah, it seems so."
Rong Zhenbang was also happily teasing his granddaughter, and said with a mocking smile: "I'm afraid she is here to take advantage of him."
After hearing this, Li Zhan and Xia Juanjuan couldn't help but look at each other.
Xia Juanjuan asked, "Dad, Mom, what's going on with this distant nephew of my master?"
Rong Zhenbang said:
"Speaking of it, this nephew is indeed of the Yang family. He is the son of the concubine of Old Yang's grandfather's brother - the one Old Yang called Second Grandfather.
By the time of Old Yang's generation, the relationship had gone a long way. Old Yang's great-grandfather divided the pharmacy business into two parts, giving them to Old Yang's grandfather and second grandfather. Later, his second grandfather's family business gradually went bankrupt, and the father of this distant nephew came to the Yang family and was later sent to Shanghai to manage the pharmacy.
Later, Old Yang met with misfortune and had to move to the countryside. All the family properties that should be confiscated were confiscated, and his distant nephew also took advantage of the situation to occupy those shops in Shanghai.
In the years before the policy came down, I never saw them coming so attentively to wish Old Yang a happy new year!"
After Rong Zhenbang finished speaking, Xia Juanjuan and Li Zhan probably understood what he meant.
Yang Qiushi had no children, so in terms of bloodline of the Yang family, there was only this distant nephew left.
I'm afraid they have other moves!
Sure enough, after a while, Ye Ye came running over and said, "Dad, Mom, my Grandpa Yang asked me to call you over!"
Li Zhan and Xia Juanjuan hurried over.
When Yang Qiushi saw them coming, he said solemnly with a stern face, "I know your filial piety and good intentions. However, I am also old. Beijing is my home. I am not used to living in Shanghai with you now. This is Li Zhan and Xia Juanjuan. You have just met them. I will live with them now. They will take care of me in my old age. You don't have to worry about me anymore."
After hearing this, Yang Wenyuan and his wife showed anxious expressions on their faces: "Uncle! How can this be? After all, I am your nephew with a blood relationship. You are letting an outsider take care of you until the end of your life. This..."
Yang Qiushi became impatient and said coldly, "It's not that I don't give you face. In the past few years, if you had come to see me once, I would have thought about it. We have been strangers for so many years, and I'm afraid you must have said a lot of bad things about me in Shanghai? Let you take care of me until I die? I'm afraid I won't die well!"
After hearing this, Yang Wenyuan and his wife's faces turned pale and they were unable to refute a word for a while.
Yang Qiushi stood up and ordered them to leave: "I also know that you are concerned about those stores in Shanghai and are afraid that I will take them back. Don't worry about this. Since you are still of Yang family blood, the six stores in Shanghai will continue to be managed by you two, and you can pass them on to your children and grandchildren in the future. But you don't have to worry about the others. You don't have a penny left! I have said it all, do as you please."
After saying this, he put his hands behind his back and walked away without even looking at the two people.
