"Miss, this is not the property of the Miao family. Before the master died, he said that this was the wife's dowry and would be given to you in the future. I was serving him at that time."
"real?"
Facing her doubts, the old housekeeper nodded seriously, "These things originally belonged to you, you must keep them well. The young masters knew you wouldn't accept the Miao family's things now, so they didn't let me bring them here. But if they really gave them to you, you must accept them."
"..." Miao Lishan looked at him speechlessly. As expected, her daughter Jiaojiao had guessed correctly. This person really was looking for her to hand over something from the past.
"Don't think you have a lot of stuff. If the master and the mistress were still here, this wouldn't matter. Although the Miao family can't compare to the past, it's still better than many people.
When Madam sent the three young masters abroad, she left them a backup plan, and things have only gotten better over the years. You are Madam's only child, and the young masters only have you as their sister. If you don't accept me, they'll think you resent them and are alienated from them."
After the old housekeeper finished speaking, he looked at Miao Lishan's face and continued, "You don't know one thing yet. In fact, in addition to the master looking for a wife, the three young masters also looked abroad. The wife mentioned to them that one day she couldn't make it in China and would have to rely on the young masters for her retirement."
Miao Lishan recalled that vague figure in her mind. She was always staring at the sky in a trance, or rocking in a rocking chair...
Why didn't she leave? Why did she secretly leave me a deposit slip? Why did she keep it a secret from me and refuse to acknowledge me?
“After the old master passed away, the three young masters spent a large sum of money to search for wives in the country, but unfortunately they couldn’t find any.
During those years, while they were sending people to look for you, they were also worried about the world becoming too chaotic, so they followed Madam's usual method of converting some of the things in China into cash and investing them abroad. So, these things are truly yours. The eldest young master has also noted them all in there."
Miao Lishan hesitated for a moment, but finally took it and handed it to Wuyi. She could refuse it, but she still had three grandsons who hadn't started families yet.
Wuyi took it and placed it on the coffee table. He patted the leather envelope, pondered for a moment, and said, "It would be more appropriate for you to keep it for my grandma."
"Master Sun, open it first."
Wuyi was surprised for a moment, and then he understood that in addition to the foreign assets, there should also be some jewelry as a dowry.
Just open it! To be honest, he was quite curious about what kind of dowry the grandmother had received back then, and what kind of inheritance the Miao family would leave for her now.
Except for a piece of old red paper, the whole stack of documents were originals in foreign languages, and of course, carefully translated Chinese copies were also attached.
—Isn't this because they're worried that his grandma won't understand? A smile flashed across Wuyi's eyes. He expressed his delight at the Miao family's thoughtfulness towards his grandma!
If this really had to be changed to all kinds of foreign languages to make things difficult for his grandmother, he would really have to write a letter in several languages to greet the ancestors of the Miao family.
The old housekeeper watched him quickly flip through the original documents, a smile on his face. The lady's spirit should rest in peace; her great-grandson is truly her descendant.
Fortunately, he didn't say what was in his heart, otherwise Wuyi would have disobeyed his grandfather's order no matter what and would definitely have said something to his mother Xiao.
After Wuyi finished translating, he looked at Miao Lishan, who was still holding the translation manuscript, and reminded her, "Grandma, why don't you take it back and discuss it with my mother first?"
Yes! Aside from the passwords and other documents in the safe, there are also shares. This is the key point. It's up to his grandmother to decide whether to sell them or continue holding them.
No one was as knowledgeable about these complex issues as his mother. Didn't you see how she often used examples and analyses when teaching economics to the three brothers?
The old butler quickly agreed, "Young Master Sun, this is a good suggestion. There are still some things in the document that you, Miss, need to make the decision on."
Miao Lishan nodded when she heard this. It was difficult for her to make a decision at this moment, and she had to go back to discuss it. "Uncle Fu, when are you planning to leave?"
"Now Master Ming's formalities have been completed, but we are not in a hurry to return. Before we came here, the young masters instructed me to wait until you, the eldest lady, have completed your affairs before returning with Master Ming."
"Well, I'd better give you an answer as soon as possible." Miao Lishan still remembered that her daughter had mentioned that the Lei family were two ungrateful people, so it would be better for them to leave as soon as possible.
This time, the procedures for going abroad required going to the neighborhood committee. Although those people were silenced, there was no guarantee that they would not leak the information.
If those two ungrateful people get to know this, they will definitely pester her. She doesn't want her child to be heartbroken before leaving.
"It's better to take the child back early so that the father and son can be reunited and have a meaningful New Year. Uncle Fu, Xiao Ming will be in your care from now on.
You don't know how much this kid has suffered since he was little. My Xiaowu and Jiaojiao almost died the first year they met him. He was so stupid that he almost couldn't survive, and yet..."
Lei Tianming quickly pulled Miao Lishan, "Aunt, I will be fine, don't worry. I will come back to see you as soon as I have the chance. Grandpa Fu said that you will come back as soon as I want you to."
"Yeah, that's right. Planes are faster than trains!"
Wuyi glanced at the old man with amusement. It wouldn't be long before the old man's credit rating in Lei Tianming's eyes plummeted like the speed of an airplane!
"Grandpa Fu, didn't you say you brought family photos? And please show me the photos of my grandparents. I'm going to take Wuyi out for a while."
The old housekeeper nodded happily, "Okay, okay. The business is done, and I was just about to talk to the eldest lady about the wife. Master Ming, please buy some more things for Master Sun."
"I won't be polite to my uncle. Grandpa Fu, please sit with my grandma for a while. Let me know if you have any instructions." Wuyi did not hesitate this time. He stood up and said with a smile, then left with Lei Tianming.
"Would you like to sit next door for a while?"
Wuyi kicked the snow in the yard and shook his head. "It's still more comfortable outside. Uncle, have you changed your name?"
"It's not really a name change. My real name is Miao Tianming. It's just Ming that means to remember. When the Lei family adopted me and registered me, I said I wanted to be called Tianming. My father couldn't read, but he still said it was a good name. So, Tianming, it means the suffering is over."
Wuyi patted his shoulder and said, "It's all over!"
Lei Tianming, who was feeling sad, was amused by him and chuckled, "You little brat! Don't worry, I, your uncle, have a very lucky life. I'm not afraid of anything."
"Okay! Go for a walk first, and come back if you feel uncomfortable. Let's not talk about other places, but in the Forbidden City, your nephew can still protect you."
"Does my sister know that you are so capable?"
In the courtyard, in this season of freezing water, the two of them chatted and joked with each other facing the gate. They both knew that they didn't know when they would meet again after parting.
May Day is grateful for his love for me over the years, which is like family to me. Now that we have become a real relative, I feel more worried.
He can bully his uncle, but what about others?
