I came out of the funeral home.
Qin Sihan, holding the porcelain-white urn containing her grandmother's ashes, sat in the car with Xiao Ruanruan and Su Qianqian.
Outside the car, Qin You and Qin Guang were still struggling with Qin Guanlin.
In Qin You and Qin Guang's view, the fact that Old Master Qin and Old Madam Qin were not buried in the auspicious burial site they had already chosen in Beijing, but instead insisted on being buried in the remote city of Chongqing, was their final compromise.
Now, Old Madam Qin wants to scatter her ashes directly without holding a funeral or burial, which they absolutely cannot agree to.
Because this isn't just about what Old Madam Qin wants; it's about the fortunes of her descendants!
"Brother Qin, when your parents were alive, you weren't exactly a dutiful son. What? Now that they're gone, you're suddenly acting like a super filial son?"
The old lady wanted to avoid burial; such an unconventional idea, and you're just going to do what she said?
“Our family is in business. If we don’t choose a good burial site for our elders and it affects our fortune, will our business still be able to continue?”
"Oh, I forgot, Boss Qin, you don't have any shares anymore. You gave us your shares voluntarily, we didn't force you."
You can't treat us like this just because you no longer have shares, can you?
...
Qin You and Qin Guang exchanged words, each trying to make the most of their malicious assumptions.
Qin Guanlin stood there, looking indifferent, letting the two talk as if he couldn't hear them at all.
Qin Huan walked out of the funeral home. The once handsome young man had transformed into a resolute and composed man in the past few days.
He walked straight up to his three uncles and said, "Third Uncle, Fourth Uncle, people are the best feng shui. Business is built through hard work, not by relying on the blessings of our ancestors."
Besides, with you all acting like this, you're not even willing to fulfill Grandma's last wish. Even if you bury her in the imperial mausoleum, Grandma might not be willing to bless you.
After saying that, he took Qin Guanlin's arm and said, "Uncle, let's go!"
Qin You stared at Qin Huan helping Qin Guanlin into the car, stunned for a moment, then clenched his fist and jumped up, "That little brat!"
Qin Guang pulled him back, "Alright, third brother, stop making a fuss. Qin Huan has a point. Since it's Mom's last wish, let's grant it!"
Although Qin You didn't listen to anyone else, he had great faith in his fourth brother.
Hearing Qin Guang say that, he frowned and agreed, "Alright then!"
Qin Sihan gently stroked the porcelain-white urn with her small hands, lowered her head, and asked in a muffled voice, "Ruanruan, Qianqian, do you think money is really that important?"
Dad and Brother Qin Huan have already given everything to Uncle Three and Uncle Four, so why are they still like this?
She continued talking to herself, not expecting Xiao Ruanruan and Xixi to answer her.
"Before I met you, when I played with other girls, they always bought the best of everything, whether it was clothes, bags, hair clips, food, or drinks."
They would also compare whose things were more expensive. I always won, but I didn't have any fun playing with them; in fact, I would get very angry.
Later, when I played with you all, even though Sisi, your clay dolls always turned out awful, and Xiaoruanruan's perfume didn't smell good at all and even smelled a bit bad, I still felt very happy..."
Xiao Ruanruan & Su Xixi: ...
Was Qin Sihan praising them or disliking them?
“Mom said that my third and fourth uncles already have a lot of money, but I don’t think they are very happy. On the contrary, Dad has stopped frowning all the time after deciding not to accept the inheritance left by my grandparents.”
As Qin Sihan stared at Old Madam Qin's urn, a large tear fell onto it and shattered.
Xiao Ruanruan took out a handkerchief and handed it to Qin Sihan, saying with red eyes, "Sister Hanhan, wipe your tears. Grandma Qin left with a smile, she certainly wouldn't want to see us crying."
Qin Sihan took the handkerchief from her hand, wiped away her tears, and forced a smile.
In the end, according to her last wish, Madam Qin's ashes were scattered on Madam Qin's grave, without a funeral or any ceremony.
Only direct descendants bowed three times after scattering the ashes and then left.
Su Yiqing and Qin Guanlin walked side by side. "Uncle Qin, you've given away all your shares? Are you planning to look for a job next?"
Qin Guanlin smiled and said, "I plan to take a break for a while. I've spent most of my life worrying about material things, but now I've come to terms with it."
We still have some savings at home, so we can hold off for now and look for a suitable job—something not too strenuous, just enough to earn a living to support my wife and children.
Su Yiqing extended her hand to Qin Guanlin, "Uncle Qin, you're welcome to come to our Su family's whenever you want to work."
Little Ruanruan looked at her older brother and thought, "Wow, he's quick on his feet. He's already poaching people."
Looking over there, Qin You and Qin Guang both seemed wary of their older brother, and Xiao Ruanruan felt that Qin Guanlin's statement, "The feng shui is already ruined," was absolutely right.
Qin You and Qin Guang only thought about fighting for the family fortune, but they never considered who was actually running the Qin family business after the old master and old lady of the Qin family lost their fortunes and even reached new heights.
The Qin family branch they managed, though not losing money thanks to the Qin family's backing, was barely surviving.
The Qin family's continued prosperity during the years when Old Master Qin was no longer in charge was entirely due to Qin Guanlin's support.
Although Qin Guanlin had previously tried to seize the assets, it cannot be denied that he and the group of Qin family employees who followed him were extremely capable.
Qin Guanlin grasped Su Yiqing's hand. "Thank you. I'll consider it when I want to work again!"
When Su Yiqing came over and picked up Xiao Ruanruan, she looked around and didn't see Su Qianqian. She asked in confusion, "Xiao Ruanruan, where did your sister go?"
"Sister?" Little Ruanruan's body trembled. Her sister had gone to talk to Brother Qin Huan and asked her to cover for her.
