Chapter 185 News
"Send me something?" Yuan Ziyou looked at the box in Huo Xifei's hand and blinked in confusion: "What is it?"
She didn't remember asking Huo Xifei for anything!
Huo Xifei smiled and said nothing. He just opened the box and saw two pieces of paper in the box. Because he was far away, Yuan Ziyu couldn't see clearly. He walked in and picked up the two papers. When he looked at them in the moonlight, he found that they were two land deeds to the farm.
"This..." Yuan Ziyu looked up at Huo Xifei in surprise.
Huo Xifei smiled and said, "This is a gift from me to you!"
Yuan Ziyu didn't expect that Huo Xifei would give her two farms at once. In the moonlight, she looked at the size of the farms on the deeds. One had 2,000 acres of fertile land, and the other had 1,000 acres of fertile land. The locations of both farms were excellent. This would cost at least 60,000 to 70,000 taels of silver!
"Brother Xi, this... this is too precious!" Yuan Ziyu said hurriedly!
Although it is easy for Yuan Ziyu to make money nowadays, she also understands that 60,000 to 70,000 taels of silver is not a small amount.
"Keep them!" Huo Xifei smiled and said, "I bought these especially for you. If you don't want them, I'll just let them go to waste. Can you bear it?"
Yuan Ziyou gave Huo Xifei a look of anger. Of course she couldn't bear it. 3,000 acres of fertile land, how much grain could be grown? How could she just watch them go to waste?
"Okay then, I'll take it!" Yuan Ziyou thought for a moment and said, "When I make some money, I'll give you half!"
"Okay!" Huo Xifei smiled indifferently. He bought these two farms specially to give to Yuan Ziyu. Although he didn't know why Yuan Ziyu bought so many farms and fertile fields, he had a hunch that Yuan Ziyu was going to do something. If that was the case, he would naturally lend her a helping hand.
"Add these 3,000 mu!" Yuan Ziyou calculated: "Wow, then I will have 10,000 mu of fertile farmland, right?"
"Yes, my You'er is a real landlord!" Huo Xifei said with a smile.
Yuan Ziyou smiled and said to Huo Xifei, "Do you think I'm a spendthrift?"
"Yeah!" Huo Xifei raised his eyebrows and nodded. Seeing that Yuan Ziyu's eyebrows were about to stand up, he smiled and said, "But I like prodigal daughters-in-law. You are just right!"
"Humph!" After hearing what Huo Xifei said, Yuan Ziyou couldn't help but curl up the corners of his mouth: "Whether you like it or not, I'm determined to stick with you. Don't run away!"
"Don't run!" Huo Xifei whispered in Yuan Ziyu's ear.
Yuan Ziyou couldn't help but feel his ears burning, so he pushed Huo Xifei and said, "Okay, you can go now!"
"How can you leave when I haven't finished talking about business yet?" Huo Xifei said with a smile.
"Business?" Yuan Ziyou blinked. "Anything else?"
"Of course!" Huo Xifei said with a smile, "Giving you the deed to the manor is just a passing omission. I came here to tell you something important."
"What's going on?"
"About your maternal grandparents!" Huo Xifei stopped laughing and spoke to Yuan Ziyu seriously.
"Huo Er is back?" Yuan Ziyou was delighted. This meant there was news from my maternal grandparents' family. "What is the current situation of my maternal grandparents' family?"
"Huo Er didn't come back, he just sent back some news!" Huo Xifei said.
"What have you found out?" Yuan Ziyu was eager to know the situation of his maternal grandparents' family.
"You'er, if the information Huo Er found out is correct, Aunt Liu's surname is not Liu!" Huo Xifei said to Yuan Ziyu.
"My mother's surname isn't Liu?" Yuan Ziyou's eyes widened in surprise. "Then what's her surname?"
"You'er." Huo Xifei's voice was a little serious. "Do you know the Su's Workshop? The one in the south that's famous for its jewelry?"
Yuan Ziyu nodded. She knew about Su's Workshop. She had even bought a complete set of Su's Workshop headwear for her mother.
Suddenly, Yuan Ziyu had a flash of inspiration in his mind, and he said in a surprised voice: "Brother Xi, you are not going to say that my mother's surname is Su, right?"
"Hmm!" Huo Xifei said, "If the news is correct, Aunt Liu should actually be the eldest daughter of the Su Workshop!"
"What!" Yuan Ziyu's voice was a little louder in surprise. Realizing that he had lost his composure, he quickly covered his mouth!
My mother is the eldest daughter of Su’s Workshop?
This was completely beyond Yuan Ziyu's expectations. She had imagined all kinds of possibilities about her maternal grandparents' house, but she had never thought of this!
No matter how hard she tried, she could never imagine that her mother's surname was not Liu!
But, that's not right!
Yuan Ziyu frowned slightly. That day, when she and her mother went to buy headwear, the clerk had said it was made by the Su family workshop. She hadn't seen any unusual expression on her face at the time. Did she hide it well? Or did she simply not notice?
Hey, that's not right!
Yuan Ziyu narrowed her eyes. After buying the set of headwear, her mother had worn it several times. One time, she accidentally saw her mother staring at one of the hairpins in a trance. When she asked her about it, her mother just said that she liked the hairpin and was fascinated by it.
She hadn't thought much about it before, but now she thinks...
"You'er, what are you thinking about?" Huo Xifei asked.
"Ah!" Yuan Ziyou raised his head hurriedly: "I'm not thinking about anything, Brother Xi, please continue!"
"Okay!" Huo Xifei didn't ask any more questions, only saying, "Aunt Liu's surname now should be the surname of her grandmother's family! In other words, your grandmother's surname is Liu."
"That's actually the case!" Yuan Ziyou frowned. "Could it be that my mother took her surname?"
"That shouldn't be the case!" Huo Xifei shook his head and said, "According to what Huo Er found out, Aunt Liu was originally supposed to have the surname Su. Later, she broke the family rules and was kicked out. She changed her surname to her mother's and went to live with her maternal grandparents. She never returned to the Su family. Even when she married Uncle Yuan, she was also born from Aunt Liu's maternal grandparents' family!"
"What?" Yuan Ziyu's eyes widened in shock. "My mother severed ties with my maternal grandfather?"
"It seems so!" Huo Xifei said, "Also, there's something very strange going on in your maternal grandparents' family."
"What's the matter?" Yuan Ziyu was shocked by the previous news and asked casually.
"The Su Workshop is now a wealthy and powerful family. It's well-known not only in our Dali Dynasty but also in neighboring countries!" Huo Xifei said, "Aunt Liu isn't an only child; she has an older brother. Logically, in a family like this, the son should inherit the father's business. However, the current head of the Su Workshop is neither your grandfather nor your uncle."
"Who is that?" Yuan Ziyu asked in surprise.
"It is said that the current head of the Su's Workshop is also surnamed Su, named Su Chengwei. He is a distant relative of your maternal grandfather. He has been in charge of the Su's Workshop for nearly twenty years!" Huo Xifei responded.
"That's not right!" Yuan Ziyou frowned and said, "We have sons, so why would we let a relative from a side branch take care of the family business?"
“So, this is where it gets confusing!”
"Brother Xi, what about my grandfather and uncle? Has Huo Er found out any information?" Yuan Ziyu asked hurriedly.
Huo Xifei frowned slightly and remained silent for a while.
