The two brothers finally sat on the same sofa.
Even though both of them wanted to sit on the edge of the sofa.
But the fact that they were willing to sit down showed that the other side had made concessions.
"Okay, now that everyone is here, let's officially begin our family meeting today."
Old Master Shan sat on the sofa and said to Zhou Yaya who was supporting him, "Xiaoya, go tell Mrs. Chen not to work anymore. Cover the food on the table and tell her to go outside and tidy up the yard."
After all, what they want to talk about today is family matters.
As the saying goes, don't air your dirty laundry in public.
Most of the servants in the manor had noticed the rift between the two brothers.
But Mr. Shan still asked Zhou Yaya to send the others away.
For some things, it's better if one fewer person knows about them.
"Okay, Dad, I got it."
Zhou Yaya nodded when she heard that.
After she helped the old man sit down on the sofa, she turned and walked straight to the kitchen.
Mr. Shan didn't make his words very clear.
But Zhou Yaya is not a brainless person.
She naturally understood what the old man wanted to express.
Then he understood and did what he told him to do.
"Xiao Ya is not the main reason for today's family meeting. It doesn't matter if she is absent for a while. Let's get started."
After Zhou Yaya walked towards the kitchen, Old Man Shan moved his lips and said.
Shan Ting and Shan Yilin both had clear thoughts in their minds.
It was obvious that the old man was saying this for them.
"Ah-Lin, Ah-Ting, you two brothers have been arguing with each other for so many years. I have never said anything and have never intervened. It's not that I don't know, but I think it's just a trivial matter and you can handle it by yourselves. Especially Ah-Ting, you are not only Ah-Lin's brother, but you are also ten years older than your brother. When Ah-Lin was still young and didn't know anything, you were already an independent little adult.
You have always been a broad-minded and positive person outside, but how come you treat your brother worse than a stranger? I know that your mother's departure has dealt you a heavy blow, and you are sad and upset. I can understand all this because I am as sad as you are. You have lost your mother, and I have lost my wife.
But you have to know that although we are sad, it is not A-Lin's fault. You can't put all the blame on him. When he was in your mother's belly, he was just a lifeless, thoughtless embryo. He couldn't decide whether he could be born or not. "
Mr. Shan spoke a lot of profound truths in one breath.
The elder son's prejudice against the younger son is simply related to his wife's departure.
Shan Ting always believed in his heart that if Shan Yilin had not come unexpectedly, his mother would not have chosen to take the risk of giving birth to him.
Although the production process was smooth and safe.
But the injuries left on her body never fully healed, and her health was severely weakened.
Day after day, my health is getting worse and worse.
He couldn't guarantee that if his mother hadn't given birth to Shan Yilin, she would not have said such things.
After all, she was gone.
Such an assumption can never be true.
"Ah Ting, birth, aging, sickness and death are things that everyone has to go through. I'm already this old, and every day that follows could be the last day for an old man like me. I don't want to use my status as a father or an elder to force you to do anything. As a parent, we only hope that our children can be healthy and happy. That's enough. I don't ask you to achieve a lot, but there is one thing. Your mother and I only have you two children in this life. I believe that even if your mother were here today, she would be heartbroken to see the two pieces of flesh that fell off her body become so estranged."
"dad……"
When Shan Ting heard Old Man Shan talk about the topics of birth, aging, sickness and death so directly, he didn't know why, but he felt a little uncomfortable.
He is already over thirty and will enter middle age in two years.
When people reach this age, they have experienced everything they should have experienced.
There are some things that you can't avoid facing just because you don't want to.
Shan Ting knew very well that when people get old, they cannot escape the cycle of birth, aging, sickness and death.
That is everyone's final destination.
Ever since his mother passed away, the old man has been alone all these years.
He usually acts like nothing happened.
But father and son are connected by heart.
There was not a moment when he did not think of his mother.
But he had promised his wife that he would raise the children well.
Shan Ting's voice was a little hoarse: "Dad, you are in good health. Living a hundred years is not a problem."
Perhaps every child will subconsciously avoid and be unwilling to talk about the final destination of their parents.
Shan Ting knew in his heart that his grandfather said so much just to improve the relationship between him and Shan Yilin.
The reason why I was unwilling to forgive him all these years was not entirely because of that incident.
He just couldn't stand Shan Yilin's face that looked like he didn't care about anything.
Just like today.
Even after the old man said this, he didn't react at all. His face was expressionless and his eyes were calm.
He is so cold-hearted.
Anyone who sees it will get annoyed.
After listening to what Mr. Shan said, Li Xia slowly raised her head, opened her eyelids and looked across.
She, who had nothing to do with him, was moved by those words.
So Li Xia was a little curious about the reaction of the male protagonist of the world.
