Father Yu didn't care at all. What was wrong with him asking his older brother for some tea?
This is his own brother!
Seeing the awkward look on Yu's mother's face, Liu Guilan smiled nonchalantly and said, "Don't worry about those two brothers, let's women chat together."
Given Liu Guilan's strong sense of community and the fact that her mother was also a good match, the two had a very pleasant conversation.
Mr. and Mrs. Yu came this time carrying the will of the old man of the Yu family.
Before his death, Mr. Yu divided his estate into two parts. One part, consisting of the majority of his personal assets and 10% of the company's shares, was to his eldest son, whom he had never met. He firmly believed that his eldest son was not dead and repeatedly instructed his father to search for him and leave the inheritance to his eldest son's family. If his father could not find his eldest son before his death, then his descendants should guard the inheritance for another ten years. If they still could not find him after ten years, then the inheritance should be donated to charity as a way to pray for his eldest son whom he had never met and to accumulate merit.
It must be said that the old man of the Yu family had considered his eldest son very carefully and thoughtfully.
Old Man Huo was deeply moved that his biological father still remembered him before he passed away and left him a large inheritance.
But he didn't want these things. "Second son, I have never been able to fulfill my filial duty to our father. I have not fulfilled my responsibility as a son at all. You have been taking care of our father all these years, so I don't want this money. You can have it all."
Father Yu hadn't expected Old Man Huo to say that, and the fact that he seemed neither reluctant nor greedy in the face of such a huge fortune filled him with a bitter and aching feeling. His eyes welled up with tears, and his voice choked with emotion: "Brother!"
It's no wonder they're descendants of the Yu family.
Even though she didn't grow up with her parents and suffered such hardship and abuse, it's truly remarkable that she can still maintain such a character!
Even now that he has moved to Kyoto and become a city dweller, he can tell at a glance that his elder brother's family is not well-off. Some of his words and actions also reveal that his elder brother did not receive a good education from childhood. Yet, even so, when faced with such a large inheritance, he simply said he didn't want it.
Judging from his many years of experience, what his elder brother said was true, without any exaggeration.
Old Man Huo patted his brother on the shoulder: "I already know that I wasn't abandoned by my parents back then. Now that I've found my younger brother, I'm already very satisfied. This is already very good."
Father Yu looked at his sister-in-law Liu Guilan, who smiled and said, "We are very satisfied with our family's life now. I listen to the old man. You have been taking care of our parents all these years, and it is what you deserve."
Father Yu smiled and shook his head: "I only left you some of my personal assets, and only a small portion of the company shares. The majority of the shares were left to me. I know you really didn't want these, but you should think about your children and grandchildren. With these, they can have a better life."
Old Huo thought for a moment, touched the pipe at his waist, looked at the people around him but still didn't dare to take it out. "Children and grandchildren have their own blessings. Did I raise them for nothing? They've all grown up and started their own families. What kind of talk is that if they still want to take things from me? They can earn whatever they want themselves."
Liu Guilan wholeheartedly agreed: "Although our family is not well-off now, the policies have been relaxed, so these are all temporary. Things will get better soon. The children are hardworking and reliable, so we won't go hungry."
Especially these past few days, with the things Weiwei bought from the south arriving, her family, young and old, are all pitching in to sell things at a stall. In just a few days, they've already earned several thousand yuan.
At this rate of earning money, there's no need to worry about money at home.
Mother Yu originally thought that her eldest brother and sister-in-law would be very happy to hear about the inheritance left to them by the old man. They would feel like they had been hit by a windfall. Who knew that they had no such intention and simply refused to accept it.
She had imagined many scenarios, but she never expected it to be like this; it was completely beyond her expectations.
This also improved her perception of her older brother and sister-in-law.
but--
“Elder brother and sister-in-law, this money was left to you by our father. It is an honor to receive a gift from an elder. You should take it. It will fulfill our father’s wishes.”
Even the father-in-law probably never imagined that his eldest son, whom he was so worried about, would refuse to accept his property at all when he was on his deathbed!
Old Man Huo thought for a moment, "Then how about we do what our father said, spend the money on that kind of business, and consider it as praying for our parents and accumulating merit?"
Yu's father looked helplessly at Ye Weiwei, gesturing for her to come out and try to persuade her.
I heard that this third nephew's wife is the most favored in the family, and her eldest brother and sister-in-law will definitely listen to what she says.
Ye Weiwei looked at her eldest brother and sister-in-law, her second brother and sister-in-law, and then at her parents-in-law. After thinking for a moment, she said, "I respect your wishes. Second Uncle, you have a wide network of connections and resources. Why don't you use that money to get a batch of advanced foreign machinery and equipment to donate to the country? Just donate it in the name of the family. The donor can be listed in your two brothers' names. This will comfort the old man's spirit in heaven and let the two elders know that you brothers are of one mind."
Before her father could even speak, Old Master Huo slapped his thigh and exclaimed, "Weiwei's idea is brilliant! Let's do it that way!"
After saying that, he started praising his youngest daughter-in-law again: "In our family, Weiwei is the most knowledgeable and has the most ideas. She just hit the nail on the head!"
As he spoke, he didn't forget to instruct his grandchildren, "You all must study hard, learn to read and write, and acquire cultural knowledge, just like your aunt, understand?"
A group of grandchildren said in unison, "We understand!"
Old Man Huo grinned with satisfaction, making Mr. and Mrs. Yu extremely envious.
No, no, this won't do!
They really want to call their unfilial son right now and tell him to get married and have children so he can give them a bunch of grandchildren to play with!
They also wanted to enjoy the pleasures of their elder brother and sister-in-law being surrounded by their grandchildren.
Yu Chengwu, who was far away in Hong Kong, was engrossed in processing a pile of documents when he suddenly sneezed several times in a row. He rubbed his nose and pinched the bridge of his nose, thinking that his parents must be nagging him. He had to speed up and finish all the work at hand before flying to Kyoto to celebrate the New Year with everyone!
The matter of the inheritance was finally settled.
At first, Yu's parents were worried that their nephews and nieces would be unhappy if they found out, but after staying here for a few days and observing, they didn't care at all, or rather, they didn't take the inheritance matter seriously at all!
