Xie Chen sorted his cousin's belongings into a box and called Xie Qian to see if there was anything she needed. Xie Qian carefully checked it and made sure that they were all worthless before agreeing to let Xie Chen move out.
Many guests who came to pay their respects shook their heads and sighed, wondering how Xie Lin, who had been a good man all his life, could raise such a daughter.
Three days later, my cousin's ashes were buried in the Huai County Cemetery, alone, and he would not be buried with his wife. This was my cousin's last wish. He wanted to live a quiet life there.
After taking care of her cousin's funeral, Zhou Xiang sighed and left the Xie family. She would never come here again.
Standing by the lake and looking towards the two rows of villas to the north, most of the villas in the front row belong to their family, and the villas in the back row were formerly owned by Aunt Wang, the Feng family, the Huang family and the Yang family. They also wanted the villas on the original site.
Thinking of Aunt Wang and Grandpa Wang who have passed away, the villa finally went to Wang Zhan, and Wang Fang and Wang Hua each got a gold bar, just as Aunt Wang had originally planned. Zhou Xiang couldn't help but look back at the Xie family. Birth, old age, sickness and death, in the end, what is left to the descendants are nothing but material possessions that cannot be taken away. Those with conscience will often think of the elderly, while those without conscience will feel relieved.
"Let's go!" Ling Ran embraced his wife and left. Childhood memories could not remain unchanged. Everything changed with the times, and the familiar scenes, objects and people in memory could no longer be found.
The next day, Xie Chen brought Lu Jing and Meng Meng with him to notarize Xie Qian's estate, including Meng Meng's 200,000 yuan savings book. When it came time to pay the tax, Xie Qian even wanted Meng Meng to help pay it. Xie Chen grabbed everything and was about to leave, "If you don't want to do it, forget it. Who cares? Don't ask me to do it next time."
Xie Qian had to pay for it herself, as she didn't want to ask her elder brother to do these things anymore.
Lu Jin started to come to Zhou's house to accompany Hanhan to study. Zhou Xiang looked at his businesslike appearance and wondered if his nephew had seen it wrong. Zhou Yan said that this was a most cunning fox. If he hadn't used illusion, he would definitely not be able to see the man's expression behind the scenes.
All right! Zhou wanted to trust his nephew and moved his niece's study to the restaurant. It was safe with so many people coming and going, right?
An Wenjinchao brought the 21-year-old Jinzi to Zhou's house. They were here to return the warehouse building. "Sister-in-law, here are the keys for you. We have moved everything and cleaned the place."
Zhou Xiang then remembered that the anniversary of the blind lady's death had passed. Jin Chaoan had originally planned to move out of the warehouse building and into the school's staff dormitory after the anniversary of the blind lady's death. "I'm sorry, I've been so busy with my cousin's affairs that I forgot."
"It's okay," An Wen said, not caring. On the anniversary of the death, it's enough for the immediate family to pay their respects. His sister-in-law has a lot to take care of, how can she take care of every family's affairs? "Jin Zi's girlfriend said she couldn't wait for Jin Zi anymore. We broke up yesterday. I want to ask your sister-in-law for a favor."
"Why do you need to beg me? Just tell me if you have something to say." Zhou Xiang was dissatisfied with An Wen's politeness.
"I want to ask my sister-in-law to arrange for Jinzi to work in the health garden."
An Wen knew that his sister-in-law would agree. His son was too honest. If it wasn't for reassuring his grandmother, Jinzi would not have agreed to find a girlfriend so early.
Her mother-in-law was worried that Jinzi would end up in his thirties, like his father, so she didn't try to stop him. But then he pushed for a wedding within a hundred days. After she disagreed, he pressed for a wedding after the first anniversary. She simply insisted that they observe a long mourning period, saying everyone observes three years of mourning for their direct descendants. The woman's family had disregarded common sense. Her son would be oppressed and disadvantaged in the future if he became related to someone like him.
"Great! Jinzi is just too honest. Go to the health park and get some exposure, practice your courage, and learn how to socialize." Zhou Xiang turned and looked at Ling Ran. "Do you think we should arrange for Jinzi to join the tour bus team? That's a job that requires both interacting with tourists and giving explanations."
Ling Ran looked at the timid Jin Zi. This child had been taught and protected by the blind lady and had become too upright and timid. "Okay, I'll ask He Wenguang to take him."
"Thank you, Boss and sister-in-law," An Wen looked at his son. "Be brave. Those people over there are retired soldiers. They will teach you common sense about interpersonal relationships. If you study hard, you will definitely gain a lot in the future."
"Okay." Jin Zi responded softly.
Zhou Xiang chuckled, "Brother Chao, seeing Jin Zi like this, it's like I saw you back then. You were too honest."
If such a person were thrown into society, everyone would be willing to step on him. However, An Wen understood this and put him in a health park to work with many veterans. It is indeed a good working environment.
Jin Chao said embarrassedly: "My genes are too strong. If I could inherit even a little bit from my mother, I wouldn't be like this."
"It's okay," Zhou Xiang comforted Jin Zi, also giving him confidence. "Jin Zi, if you feel the working environment is okay over there, then continue to follow. If there's a position you like, you can ask for a transfer. Remember, we don't bully others, and we can't let others bully us. That's my aunt's territory, so we must be tough. Anyone who bullies you is disrespecting my aunt. You have to protect my face, understand?"
"I understand." Jin Zi's voice was still low.
"Louder." Zhou Xiang encouraged.
"I understand." Jin Zi raised his voice.
"Very good!" Zhou Xiang quickly held it up. This child was probably nagged too much by the blind lady and was used to silence and low voice.
Jinzi received the praise and a shy smile appeared on his face.
Ling Ran called Lu Zhaochong and asked him to arrange to send the gold to the health park.
An Wen stood up and said goodbye, "I'll go back and pack his things for him, and tell him to stay in the dormitory over there."
"Okay." The dormitories over there are on the floors above the shops. The scenery in front and behind the shops is beautiful, which makes it easy for Jinzi to relax his guard.
A few days later, Zhou Niao came to see his sister with a bunch of his things and also called Zhou Yan.
When Zhou Xiang heard his elder brother's request, he frowned and said, "Brother, you have reached a very high level of cultivation and are planning to live in seclusion, right?"
"If you say so, then so be it!" Zhou Niao smiled. "Yan'er has grown up and has things he needs to do. He doesn't need me anymore. I'll go with those who need me. Besides, if I don't win an award at this exhibition, my life will be over. So, I have no ties to the outside world anymore."
"Yan'er?" Zhou Xiang looked at his nephew.
Zhou Yan nodded, "I have no objection. Mom is indeed lonely. She has been in there for too long."
"So, big brother, are you still planning to come out?"
"It doesn't matter. If it's inconvenient to go in and out, then I won't go out."
Zhou Xiang pushed Ling Ran's arm and said, "Please help me deal with this. It is said that every painter's paintings only become valuable after he disappears from the world."
"So what are your plans?" My wife is going to cause trouble!
"Take Yan'er with you, use illusions and the invisibility cloak to make Big Brother mysteriously disappear. Yan'er bring Big Brother back wearing the invisibility cloak, and I'll send him back inside. We'll also create some public opinion outside. Yan'er will collect all of Big Brother's paintings, hype them up, and slowly release them to the public."
