Chapter 296: Xin Family's Past

Huo Lanci took Yu Wanqing to the state-owned hotel and booked a private room. After returning home, he called his parents, grandfather, and eldest brother and sister-in-law to inform them to have dinner at the state-owned hotel tonight.

The Huo family found it strange. Why did they invite everyone to dine at a state-owned hotel out of the blue?

Grandpa Huo had already learned that his grandson and future granddaughter-in-law had returned home after completing their mission. After he finished his work, he hurried back home and was surprised to find that his youngest grandson was getting married.

He looked at Huo Lanci and said, "Before getting the marriage certificate, you don't have to go to Shangyang to inform your father-in-law and mother-in-law? You don't have to give a betrothal gift?"

At this point, the old man was furious: "Huo Lanci, you idiot, it's okay for you to lure Xiaowu to the army, after all, Xiaowu's strength is here, she has the ability."

"You are going to marry her now, but you didn't say anything and just took her to get the marriage certificate. Why do you think it's so beautiful?"

"You are deceiving the little girl."

Seeing that Grandpa was so angry, Huo Lanci stepped forward to comfort him: "Grandpa, please don't be angry. Do you think I am such a person?"

"Wanqing and I have already told my father-in-law and mother-in-law before we left for the mission. We will get the marriage certificate as soon as we return." Huo Lanci was worried that his father would be mad at him, so he spoke in a much softer voice: "We will return to Shangyang in two days. I will not be short of anything, whether it is the betrothal gift or the banquet."

"Xiao Wu is my wife. Even if I have to put myself in a difficult position, I will never put her in a difficult position."

Mr. Huo looked at Yu Wanqing and sighed, "Xiao Wu, it's all Aci's fault that you have been wronged."

He still felt that his granddaughter-in-law was wronged.

Yu Wanqing had just stood aside and watched Grandpa scold Aci, and she found it very interesting. Now when she heard Grandpa talking to her, she quickly stepped forward and said with a smile, "Grandpa, Aci didn't let me feel wronged. I really have already told my parents about getting the marriage certificate."

She smiled and said, "Grandpa, I know you are doing this for my own good, but I am afraid that Aci will do something wrong and make me angry. Don't worry, Aci is your child, and he is kind-hearted, just like you and dad. He will not let me down."

Upon hearing this, Master Huo glared at Huo Lanci and said to Yu Wanqing, "Xiao Wu, wait for Grandpa here first."

After saying this, the old man went back to his room and came out with a wooden box in his hand.

He handed the box to Yu Wanqing: "This is a gift I prepared a long time ago. Take it. Your sister-in-law also received a gift when she married into our family."

Yu Wanqing smiled and nodded: "Thank you, Grandpa."

After the old man finished speaking, he took out an envelope from his pocket and said, "This is a red envelope from grandpa for you."

You don't need to look to know that it's a big group.

Yu Wanqing quickly said, "Grandpa, you have just given me a gift."

Mr. Huo said, "Take it. Grandpa's money will be given to the A-Ci brothers and you two sisters-in-law in the future."

Huo Lanci took it and said with a smile: "Grandpa is not short of money, so there is no need to be polite to him."

Mr. Huo smiled and nodded: "Yes, no need to be polite with Grandpa."

Seeing this, Yu Wanqing smiled and thanked him, then took the money, but in her heart she was thinking about what to give to the old man.

Huo Lanci checked the time and said, "Let's go. I think my parents, my eldest brother and his wife have already arrived."

Grandpa came home to meet them because he came back early. My parents and my eldest brother and his wife went directly to the state-owned hotel after get off work.

On the way to the state-owned hotel, the old man asked about some things about this mission.

Huo Lanci brought up the matter of the Xin family.

The old man sighed and said, "The Xin family left because they suffered too many setbacks."

"The Xin family was very prosperous back then. Old Master Xin had seven sons and one daughter, all of whom were born to his first wife. In that era, it was indeed rare." Thinking of the Xin family, the old man still feels sad for Old Master Xin.

"The Xin family was a wealthy family, but they were targeted by others. They had seven sons and one daughter, but three of their sons died. The youngest son was kidnapped and his life or death is unknown. The only daughter was also raped and eventually committed suicide."

"The lady died because she was too sad about the death of her son and daughter."

At that time, even Old Huo, who had seen many life and death situations, felt depressed and uncomfortable in the Xin family.

"The fate of the youngest son of the Xin family was unknown. In the eyes of many people, he was actually dead." Grandpa Huo said: "In less than a month, several children and his beloved wife died. Grandpa Xin was disheartened and wanted to save the remaining children. In the end, he chose to sell his family property and left China with his children."

"Not long after they left, the Xin family was surrounded. Because they couldn't find the Xin family's belongings, the Xin family's old house was burned down."

In prosperous times, having a lot of money is not necessarily a blessing if you don't have enough strength to protect your family business.

Especially in times of chaos.

Yu Wanqing and Huo Lanci were unaware that the Xin family had such a past.

Mr. Huo went on to say, "Back then, the domestic situation was very bad. The Xin family followed the cause abroad and escorted talented people back. It can be said that they really made an invaluable contribution."

There are actually many people who have experienced the same thing as the Xin family.

"Back then, there were many families that were targeted because of their wealth and power. Many families cut off their roots to survive and emigrated overseas with their families."

These really can't be blamed on anyone.

Old Master Huo looked at Yu Wanqing and Huo Lanci and said, "I am really pleased that you knew to go and pay respect to Old Master Xin."

At this moment, Mr. Huo truly felt that his grandson had grown up.

As for Yu Xiaowu, the granddaughter-in-law, she is extremely satisfying.

"Mr. Xin and I are pen pals."

Yu Wanqing smiled: "Grandpa, maybe you will have the chance to meet again in the future."

When she shook hands with Old Man Xin at the Xin Family Manor, she took his pulse and later wrote a prescription suitable for Old Man Xin to regulate his body. When she got off the boat, she left it in a box in the room.

In addition to the prescription, there were also two bottles of external and internal injury medicines that she had made herself.

After reading the letter, Xin Jian will understand how to use these medicines.

As long as Mr. Xin takes care of his health and takes medicine according to what she wrote in the letter, it will not be a problem for him to live another ten years.

Of course, the premise of all this is that Xin Jian and the Xin family must trust her and be willing to use the prescription she gives.

Upon hearing this, Mr. Huo laughed and said, "I hope we can both live to see the day we meet."

When the three of them arrived at the state-owned hotel, Huo Jianying, Wen Shuanghua and the others were all there.

Wen Shuanghua and Liu Qiuling were both very happy when they saw Yu Wanqing. The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law pulled her to sit next to them and asked her about her recent situation.

Yu Wanqing chose what she could tell them.

Huo Jianying looked at her youngest son curiously: "Why did you think of inviting us to a state-owned hotel for dinner today?"

Knowing that this guy has no shortage of money, Huo Jianying doesn't have to worry about him not having money to pay the bill.

Huo Lanci said: "Xiao Wu and I got our marriage certificate today, so I wanted to invite everyone out for a meal and tell you the good news."

After the words fell, the whole place fell silent.
