The fifth child is not yet an adult, and no preparations have been made before.
The eldest brother is already married with children, and he can't leave the couple without a place to live.
After all the calculations, there are only two sets left in the names of the second and fourth sons.
Considering that the third concubine, a great contributor to the Qiu family, is now living with the fourth son, he has set his sights on his second son!
"You're always out there messing around, so you don't know the difficulties of running a company! If it weren't for the last resort, why would I...? Alas!"
Old Master Qiu waved his hands and said, "Forget it. You won't understand even if I tell you! I called you all to the old house today to discuss the betrothal gift for the third son.
As you all know, the third son's property has been mortgaged, so naturally, it can't be used as a betrothal gift. I thought I'd use the second son's property to cover it first. Once the company's funds are recovered and the situation improves, I'll buy you a new one. What do you think?"
"I don't think it's very good!" Qiu Yingming stared at him and before he could say anything, the third concubine glared at the old man and spoke in front of him.
"The master has more than one son, the second son. Even if the third son's house is mortgaged, there is still the eldest son from the second house. Even if we rank them by age, it won't be my son Yingming's turn!
Besides, when the children came of age, they agreed that they would each be responsible for their own wedding gifts. Even if the third child's house was mortgaged, they have enough money. At most, they can buy another one. Why would we need to intervene?"
Being able to marry into a wealthy family and still stand out among the concubines, the third concubine is definitely not a stupid person.
He said he would buy a new one after the company's situation improved, but who could say when the current crisis would be resolved? If something went wrong, would his son still be able to get the house back?
It is safest to hold it in your own hands.
"Third sister, you know Yingzu's situation. The second son hasn't married yet, so he can come and go freely. Even if he moves back to the old house to live, the old man and the eldest sister can't drive him away, right? Yingzu, who has a family, naturally has less convenience than him.
Besides, your fourth brother has one too, so if brothers can just pool their money together, they can probably get one too."
The second concubine rolled her eyes.
Why do you involve my son in something you don't want to do?
The daughters of the Qiu family sat behind their biological mother, watching the fun without saying a word.
It's all the old man's fault for favoring boys over girls and being unfair! If he had prepared a set for each of his daughters, they wouldn't be in such a predicament now, right?
Seeing that the second and third wives were all unwilling, Mr. Qiu sighed.
"The eldest son's wife is pregnant, so it's really not appropriate to move around! Stop arguing, just use the second son's tactics! I'll compensate him with a bigger one when the time comes, and I won't let you, the third branch, suffer any loss."
The third concubine rolled her eyes. Although she was still reluctant, the old man had said so much. If she continued to lose face for him, it would be hard to say what her fifth son would get when he came of age!
She snorted through her nose, turned her head away and said nothing more.
Qiu Yingming stood there in a daze, completely unaware of what they were arguing about.
The transfer of ownership of his house was completed early this morning at the urging of Zhou's lawyer.
It was as if Zhou Ershao was afraid that he would default on his debt, so even though he was getting married today, he had not forgotten about it.
He usually doesn't know how to spend money, and all the money he has is only enough to buy a two-bedroom apartment.
Qiu Yinghui glanced at his behavior and couldn't help but curl the corners of his lips.
He wanted to see how his second brother would explain.
By the way, Qiu Yingming's character is inseparable from the old man's doting.
He was the first healthy boy born in the Qiu family. The old man held him in his mouth for fear that he would melt, and in his palm for fear that he would break.
Over time, it becomes a habit.
Even the property allocated to him was much better than the locations allocated to him and his other brothers.
Even though he works diligently in the company and helps the old man solve his problems, I'm afraid he still can't compare to the status of this cynical second brother in the old man's mind.
He even overheard the old man's conversation with his second brother, which clearly meant that as long as he worked hard, the heir to the Qiu family would be his.
Then what is the contribution I have made to the Qiu family over the years? !
Today, he wanted to see what the old man's reaction would be if he knew that his beloved son had lost all his property and shares in gambling.
Seeing his second son's stunned look, Mr. Qiu slapped the table and said again, "Second son, did you hear that?"
Qiu Yingming glanced at his biological mother in panic, then met the old man's gaze and immediately lowered his head, "I...my house..."
He stammered, not knowing how to start.
"What happened to your house?"
Mr. Qiu had a feeling something was wrong, so he subconsciously clenched his fists, stood up and asked.
"Father!" Qiu Yingming fell to his knees! Tears and snot flew everywhere. "I didn't want to do that! I just wanted to...want to take a gamble, but who would have thought...I would lose everything! Woohoo~"
Old Master Qiu sat down on the armchair, couldn't catch his breath, and passed out.
The Qiu family was suddenly in a state of panic...
When Lan Guoer woke up, it was already the afternoon of the next day.
When I opened my eyes, I saw a joyful red.
A bright red peony and mandarin duck quilt, a bright red carpet, slippers, pajamas...even the fruit plate and water cup on the bedside are bright red.
Thinking about how the man was too impatient last night and caused her to feel pain from the longans, lotus seeds and red dates under the bed, the corners of her lips unconsciously rose slightly.
I have to say that the man did everything he should do.
This trip to Hong Kong City can be regarded as making up for a big regret in my life.
"woke up?"
The neatly dressed man came in quietly from outside, walked to the window with his hands behind his back, leaned over and kissed her on the forehead.
Seeing him acting mysteriously, Lan Guoer glanced behind him and asked, "What are you holding in your hand?"
The man sat down beside her, and whispered his thin lips to her ear, "Wedding gift."
Lan Guoer's face turned red. This man is getting better and better at flirting!
Thinking of his moves last night... her eyes narrowed and she no longer cared about whether it was a gift or not!
"Let me ask you, where did you learn those moves last night? Could it be..."
Hearing her mention last night, the man couldn't help but blush.
Seeing his wife's expression, he quickly interrupted her, "Baby, what are you thinking about now? I'll tell you everything!"
