"You all go out first, let's catch up," Guan Yi said, getting up and shooing his children and grandchildren out.
The two old brothers talked calmly about their experiences over the years, acknowledging how difficult it was for them to have survived.
"Big brother, from now on, Guan Bo and Xiao Yu's children will be recorded in your line. I am a concubine's son, but my great-grandson has been transferred to the legitimate line. Hehe~~ I've got a good deal."
Old Man Guan, halfway through being moved... Couldn't he have just kept those thoughts to himself? Did he have to say them out loud? Where's his upbringing? Where's his composure?
"You old fool, you got off easy," Old Man Guan said irritably.
Guan Yi chuckled foolishly; both of them knew exactly what advantage they had gained.
Even a starved camel is bigger than a horse. Most of the Guan family's wealth is with Old Man Guan. Even though they have squandered their wealth and had their property confiscated in recent years, their foundation cannot be shaken. Originally, these things had nothing to do with Guan Yi's branch of the family. It's not going to benefit his great-grandson. Although he has done well in recent years, it is incomparable to the wealth left by his ancestors.
"The meat's already rotted in the pot, so it's cheap for outsiders. Isn't that right, Brother? It's still your bloodline." Guan Yi chuckled.
"It's only because it's you that you're not bad, kid. You have a good heart. If it were someone else, hmph, the people who coveted my things would be long gone by now." Back then, many people had their eyes on the Guan family's things. Otherwise, Old Man Guan wouldn't have ended up in such a miserable state. Of course, Old Man Guan didn't let those people get away with it either.
"Brother, even if you gave them to me, I wouldn't dare take them. Those things don't belong to me. I never thought that the children could be together. It must be the arrangement of our ancestors. Brother, I've accumulated some wealth over the years, just like our ancestors. I'll leave it all to Xiaoyu and the others to ensure that our Guan family can continue to prosper."
The two old men couldn't hold back their tears. They had been born into extreme wealth and luxury, but had also suffered extreme hardship. They were lucky to have survived to this day.
Guan Yi: "Brother, I'm also planning to return to my roots. Give me a few houses, and I'll make arrangements for my children and grandchildren."
Old Man Guan's deadpan expression vanished, all his earlier emotion gone. "Houses in Beijing? You think they're as easy as cabbages? You think I'd give you several? How dare you be so greedy?"
"You are the eldest son, the direct descendant. You should take care of us clansmen since ancient times. Do you want to go against the ancestral teachings? I could let it go before I couldn't find my elder brother, but from now on, our whole family will depend on you, elder brother," Guan Yi joked.
"Go ahead and ask the government for it. Our ancestral home has become a tourist attraction. Let the government return it to you, and you can live there with your family. From now on, you are the direct descendant. Don't forget to take care of your clan."
Guan Yi... he's had enough of living, he dares to ask for it.
“No, brother, I didn’t intend to live in the ancestral home. Only you are qualified to live in that house. Just give me any other house you want, I’ll take a two-courtyard one.” Guan Yi’s old eyes were shining. These days, a big house in the capital can’t be bought with money alone.
"I don't even have a place to live yet, and you're offering me a big house? What do I have to give you? Do you want it or not?" Old Man Guan said irritably.
"Brother, you don't want to care about my clansmen anymore. How will you face our ancestors when you die?" Guan Yi said with a smile.
Old Man Guan: "I still want an explanation from them. They've used up all their luck. I've suffered so much; they should thank me for keeping them childless as long as I live."
Guan Yi gave his elder brother a thumbs up. Only his elder brother would dare to say such shameless things. The accumulation of several generations is all in his hands, yet he still complains about the ancestors.
Old Man Guan... was stolen by tomb raiders. He spent most of his life trying to get it back. Besides, can that thing even be used? It's just for show. It doesn't fill your stomach. You'll still go hungry. Who knows how hard it is for him?
The two old men were quite old. After chatting for a while, Guan Yi went to the hotel first, while Old Man Guan lay contentedly on the hospital bed.
Guan Yi's decision to have Xiao Yu and Guan Bo's children live with his branch of the family truly touched his heart. Guan Bo is a member of the Guan family, and their children will carry the Guan family bloodline, going beyond just the inheritance of a surname.
The next day, Guan Bo's parents started looking at houses in Beijing. Their son wanted to stay in Beijing to work, so they needed to buy a house. The old man in the family wanted to return to his hometown, so they also needed to buy a house.
