"It seems that many years ago, a great-aunt of the Han family married a sea merchant. Because her husband and son died in a shipwreck, she returned to the Han family to live with her relatives. It's said that this great-aunt amassed a lot of priceless treasures. Because she had no children, she left her property to the clan members who took care of her in her old age after her death, and it became the public property of the Han family. However, not long after, the Liao people invaded our Yanbei, and those priceless treasures were looted by the Liao people. So no one in the Han family has ever seen those treasures. Only some elders in the Han clan occasionally tell the younger generation about how rich this great-aunt was and what priceless treasures she had. Everyone just treated these stories as stories and didn't take them seriously."
Nanny Zhou shook her head and laughed, "You can't take that seriously. I once heard a poor family boast that their ancestors paved the streets with gold bricks and even made their toilets out of pure gold. Sadly, they were all stolen by the Liao people. No one believed it, but the older generations in the family loved to hear it, and it became even more outrageous."
Xier shook her head. "The Han family originally thought it was a joke and didn't take it seriously. But a few days ago, someone in the Han family learned that a treasure that had only been mentioned in legends was secretly sold by Old Man Han to a foreigner. The Han family started to make a fuss. It turns out that the legend was true, but the young lady's property was not taken away by the Liao people. Instead, the Han family's patriarch took the opportunity to hide it and took it for himself. In the end, the previous patriarch, Han Jianping, passed it on to his daughter and son-in-law."
Everyone looked at each other in confusion when they heard this. Li said, "This, this is unlikely."
"Oh, they were talking on the way about how Mr. Han had accumulated so much wealth in just a few decades. They originally thought that it was all thanks to Mr. Han's own hard work, but now it seems that he benefited from the Han family's ancestors. They came here this time to ask Mr. Han for justice." Xier lowered her voice.
"What do you think?" Ren Yaohua was silent for a moment, then suddenly turned around and asked Ren Yaoqi, who was sitting next to him and listening with great interest but did not express any opinion.
Ren Yaoqi smiled back at Ren Yaohua and shook his head, saying, "After all these years, it's unclear whether this is the case or not. After all, no one has ever actually seen that lady's belongings... well, except for a few people, perhaps?"
Ren Yaohua couldn't help but frown slightly after hearing this: "You believe it too?"
Of course Ren Yaoqi didn't believe it. It would be strange if she did.
But she still replied: "It doesn't matter whether I believe it or not, or whether we believe it or not. What matters is that some people in the Han family believe it."
Maybe some people don't believe it completely, but believing it will bring them a lot of benefits, so they all believe it.
"Besides, I don't know whether my grandparents believe it or not." Ren Yaoqi tilted his head and added.
"What does whether my grandparents believe it or not have to do with those people from the Han family?" Ren Yaohua was puzzled.
