Chapter 21 Chu Ci will take the inheritance when he returns
After entering the door, Chu Han saw Chu Muping, the third master of the Chu family.
Chu Muping, the third master of the Chu family, looks thin, but has three-dimensional facial features and a tall stature. As a middle-aged man, his appearance is not bad.
The Chu family is a large family, and Mr. Chu has three sons and one daughter.
The eldest son Chu Chengxian has passed away; the second son Chu Yuheng is the father of Chu Ci and Chu Han; the third son Chu Muping; the only daughter is married to a famous family in the capital.
The Chu family members are all good-looking. When they were young, the three brothers of the Chu family were all handsome young men from wealthy families.
Chu Mu, the third uncle of the Chu family, is forty years old this year. He has an upright figure, regular facial features, a few wrinkles, and a superior temperament.
Chu Muping and his wife went out of town for business. When they came back, they heard that his father had brought back a granddaughter, the daughter of his second brother and sister-in-law.
Chu Muping was dumbfounded.
Where did an eighteen-year-old daughter come from?
Seeing Chu Han come in, Chu Muping stared at him the whole time, with a thoughtful look on his face.
After Chu Ci went upstairs, he caught Chu Han and asked, "Xiao Han, is the girl who just came in your sister? Is this true?"
"Yes, it's true."
After receiving a positive answer, Chu Muping thought seriously for a while, still looking confused:
"But...shouldn't your sister be dead?"
"Dead?" Chu Han realized that his uncle might know something. "Uncle, you know about Chu Ci? Why did you say she was dead?"
"I'm not exactly sure. I only know that your mother gave birth to a girl. Your grandfather named her Chuci. She died of illness when she was one month old."
Chu Muping didn't know much about his second brother and his wife.
At that time, he had not yet graduated from college and was still studying. He only went home during summer and winter vacations.
Chu Han frowned. Could it be that he had been misdiagnosed? He was thought to be dead, but was actually still alive, so he missed all these years?
Chu Han thought for a while and said, "Maybe I made a mistake back then. The important thing is that she is still alive now."
Chu Muping couldn't laugh.
If Chu Ci is alive, there will be one more person to share the inheritance.
The old man doesn't have much time left to live, and when he dies, the Chu family will definitely split up.
No matter how good his relationship with his second brother appears to be on the surface, when the time comes to divide the family property, brothers will definitely settle accounts openly.
He was afraid that the old man would divide the family property according to the number of people, and then he would suffer a loss.
"I heard that you brought her back from the slums?" Chu Muping asked again.
"Third Uncle, that was all in the past." Chu Han frowned slightly. His third uncle's tone made him feel uncomfortable.
"What's the difference between the past and the present? How can someone who has lived in such a place since childhood develop a good character? I also heard from the servants that she was wearing rags when she came? After she came, she only knew how to eat and sleep?"
Before Chu Han and the others came back, Chu Muping had already asked the servants at home about Chu Ci's affairs.
The servants of the Chu family also had a bad impression of Chu Ci. Not only did he look shabby from head to toe, he also had no ambition and was too lazy to even pretend to be polite in front of his elders.
Although Chu Han was also dissatisfied with Chu Ci's bad habits, she still felt uncomfortable when she heard her uncle say this.
After all, she is his blood-related sister!
She didn't want to live in a slum since she was a child!
"Uncle San, don't say that. She is our relative. She has had a hard life these years. We should make it up to her instead of blaming her."
Chu Muping quickly changed his words, "You are right, she is indeed our relative."
He was confused just now and actually said those words in front of Chu Han. Of course, Chu Han was on his own parents' side.
Chu Muping looked up at the building, secretly thinking in his heart, if this Chu Ci was not a member of their Chu family, he would find a chance to get him out. Even if he was a member of their Chu family, he could not let this person who suddenly appeared take away their share of the property.
