Chapter 1165: Four Generations of Single Inheritance
It was already past eight o'clock in the evening when Zhou Mo returned to his home in Junshan Mansion. He saw his mother standing in front of the cutting table in the living room, writing and drawing on a piece of paper.
"Mom, I'm back. What dress are you designing?"
"Have you eaten yet?"
Zhou Hao asked instead of answering, and then continued: "Dinner is left on the table for you."
"I had dinner at Dr. Yu's house."
Zhou Mo replied, and came closer to Zhou Hao, unexpectedly discovering the design she had designed on paper...
Quite concise.
The simplicity of this dress style is compared to the complex dresses Zhou Hao had designed before.
"Mom, what did you design?"
"Fashion, Chinese fashion."
Zhou Hao explained, then added, "You, Doctor Yu, and the others are all amateurs, and you don't have much time to practice. I'm worried that you won't be able to show off the beauty and style of the dresses on the runway."
Seeing that his mother didn't believe him and his group, Zhou Mo was about to refute when he heard his mother say seriously: "I can say that I'm betting everything on this big show. I can't afford to lose."
"I came up with a compromise, letting professional models showcase the intricate and exquisite beauty of our weekly gowns."
"As for you guys, just show off your fashion."
"Even if this fashion can't suppress your appearance and temperament, it will at least make it harder to see."
"Most importantly, it won't negatively impact the presentation of the dress."
Zhou Mo, who was seriously looked down upon, suddenly became angry.
"Mom, we are all preparing seriously for this model show. You are causing serious harm to us by doing this."
Zhou Hao raised his eyelids and glanced at Zhou Mo, then said calmly, "Prepare seriously?"
"As far as I know, apart from Dr. Duan Yi who accompanied you to Fan Zhen's studio two or three times, no one else has ever been there, right?"
Zhou Mo choked and quickly explained, "Mom, you know that not only Dr. Yu, but everyone else is also very busy, leaving early and returning late."
"I've already made an agreement with them. Starting tomorrow, I'll use my free time every day to teach them how to walk on the catwalk."
Zhou Hao chuckled and said, "With the mediocre skills you've only learned for a dozen days, how can you teach them? How good can the results be?"
Zhou Hao raised his hand to stop Zhou Mo, who was about to explain, and said in a deep voice: "Momo, we invested nearly 30 million yuan in this show, and it affects the jobs of 100 to 200 people."
After a pause, she pulled out a few more design drawings and continued, "This Chinese fashion design is based on ideas I've accumulated over the past decade or so. Who knows, it might become a huge hit unexpectedly."
Zhou Mo examined the design drawings his mother had just taken out, and he found them quite pleasing to the eye.
She fell in love with it at first sight.
"Mom, what if it really becomes a hit?"
Zhou Hao chuckled and said, "I will set up a fashion company with your name Momo, specializing in Chinese fashion."
"When a woman has her own profitable business, she has solid capital, which gives her the confidence to do whatever she wants and live whatever lifestyle she chooses."
Seeing his daughter's interest, Zhou Hao continued, "Qing Ning, the boss of the herbal medicine company, has left all the details of the business to his subordinates, and spends most of his time accompanying Dr. Yu."
"I'll take care of this fashion company for you and hire a few professional managers. I won't delay your assistant work."
Zhou Mo pouted and said, "Mom, what you said is just wishful thinking. The possibility of it becoming a big hit is not very high."
"Everything depends on human effort, plus a bit of luck." Zhou Hao replied with a smile, then sighed, "I've discovered that Dr. Yu is not short of luck. The people who follow him are also not short of luck."
Zhou Mo snorted, "Doctor Yu, that's not luck, that's absolute strength."
"Whatever he wants to do, with a bunch of rich and powerful people giving him advice and funding him, how can he not succeed?"
Zhou Hao smiled and asked again: "What about curing illnesses and saving lives?"
"Didn't you say before that he saved people from certain death several times by turning the tide? That luck played a big role?"
Zhou Mo pondered and said, "That is also strength."
"Successfully turning the tide once or twice could be attributed to luck, but his unfailing record is definitely due to his inherent strength."
"Doctor Yu is just modest by nature."
Zhou Hao smiled and waved to Zhou Mo, saying, "Put the food on the table in the refrigerator to make breakfast tomorrow, then go do what you need to do. Don't disturb my work."
She added confidently, "In the field of fashion design, your mother also has absolute strength..."
Zhou Mo cleaned up the table and was about to go back to his room when his mother suddenly called him.
"Momo, there's something I forgot to tell you."
Zhou Hao waited for his daughter to come closer and said, "Today, a very elegant Ms. Ou came to our store to get a cocktail dress made. During the meeting, she talked about Dr. Yu's charity gala."
"She said her husband could donate several million in the name of the company. What benefits would that bring?"
"What benefits do you want from donating a few million?"
Zhou Mo felt disgusted and said sarcastically, "Some people have promised to pay five or six million just for matchmaking."
"If she's truly charitable, Dr. Yu will definitely not sit idly by if she has health problems in the future."
"But Dr. Yu will not tolerate requests for so-called benefits like physical examinations and medical treatment in the name of donation."
Zhou Mo said ostentatiously, "Doctor Yu is no longer the same as he was before. He has no shortage of bigwigs willing to donate."
Zhou Hao said: "The implicit meaning of that person's words is that the benefit he wants is not the physical examination or medical treatment, but kickbacks."
Zhou Mo understood instantly and said with disdain, "Using the company's money for donations and then pocketing large kickbacks is really a way to make money."
"Mom, you shouldn't take orders from clients like this. Her family makes money by dishonest means."
Zhou Hao glanced at her and said, "You're being ridiculously moralistic. I don't care where she gets her money. I earn it through hard work..."
It was already past 9:30 in the evening when Yu Zhiming finished two hours of erhu practice under the guidance of his erhu tutor.
After sending the tutor away, Yu Zhiming heard his fourth sister's voice, "Fifth brother, it's necessary for the child to learn a special skill. What do you think is a good skill?"
"Music? Painting? Dance?"
"If I were to study music, would it be piano? Or violin?"
Looking at his fourth sister, who was stroking her belly with a look of longing on her face, Yu Zhiming couldn't help but say, "Fourth sister, isn't this too early for you? You shouldn't consider this issue until five or six years later at the latest."
Yu Zhiming added: "Among my eldest, second, and third sisters' children, only my second sister's child took interest classes in primary school, but they have long forgotten everything now."
Yu Xiangwan snorted softly, "It's mainly because my second sister's two children are a bit stupid and don't have the interest or talent."
"The conditions are so much better now than before. My child will definitely be smart. I must keep up with the cultivation of his interests and hobbies."
Yu Zhiming teased, "Fourth sister, you really have implemented the principle that your own children are the best."
Just then, the door was pushed open and Qing Ning came back.
Yu Zhiming noticed that Qing Ning looked tired and asked with concern, "Did you have a hard day today?"
Qing Ning came closer and nodded her head, then snuggled up to Yu Zhiming.
"I've been running around delivering invitations since this morning and haven't had a break."
Yu Zhiming said "oh", hugged her gently, and asked, "Do you want to eat something?"
Qing Ning shook her head and said, "I had dinner at an uncle's house. I'm not hungry at all. I just want to take a shower and go to bed..."
Qing Ning, accompanied by Yu Zhiming, came upstairs to the master bedroom. While searching for pajamas to wear later, she said, "We talked about something while having dinner at Uncle Shi's house."
After a pause, she softly introduced, "One of my uncle's business partners in Southeast Asia is Chinese, and his family has been a single-line family for four generations."
"The fourth generation is now 30 years old and has been married for five years, but still has no children. The whole family is very anxious."
In ancient times, the so-called three-generation or four-generation single-line inheritance was quite common, mainly because women were not included in the family tree in ancient times. No matter how many daughters a family had, the family would be extinct and would not even be considered a single-line inheritance.
Another reason is that living and medical conditions were poor in ancient times, the neonatal mortality rate was high, and people could die from colds and fevers.
Some families have several children who all die young, which leads to an increase in the phenomenon of only one child in the family or even the extinction of the family.
Yu Zhiming asked to confirm, "Four generations of only one son? No daughters?"
Qing Ning replied, "I specifically asked about this. This family has only had one son for four generations, and no daughters."
She added, "The fourth generation's 30-year-old son and his wife went to a major American hospital for physical and fertility checkups. No major problems were found, but they just couldn't get pregnant."
"Then my uncle asked me to ask if you could help check that guy to see what's wrong?"
You know what, Yu Zhiming actually became interested in this case.
There was only one son in each of the four generations.
Given the Chinese belief that having more children means more blessings, and the fact that there is no family planning policy abroad, this means that this Chinese family does not want to have more children, but cannot.
Moreover, the business partners of my father-in-law's family are old friends and should be financially well-off, which means there is no shortage of medical resources.
In this situation, still passing the ball alone?
Yu Zhiming pondered and said, "It's an interesting situation of four generations of single inheritance. I can agree to it, but not now."
"Let's talk about it after I'm done with this busy period..."
Yu Zhiming first did a simple wash and returned to his soundproof bedroom to go to bed to rest.
More than ten minutes later, he received a call from Ding Ye who was far away in Germany.
"Doctor Yu, did I disturb your rest?"
"Not yet!" Yu Zhiming replied, and then urged: "If you have something to say, just tell me."
Ding Ye said on the phone: "I think there's something wrong with the heart of a patient, but after a series of tests, it turns out his heart is still healthy."
"Doctor Yu, I'd like you to listen to me."
"Okay, no problem..."
It took Yu Zhiming more than ten minutes to hear a person's heartbeat clearly through a long-distance call.
It has to be said that during international long-distance calls, the sound loss, especially the loss of small sounds, is quite serious.
"Doctor Ding, your feeling is correct. This man does have a serious heart problem."
"Performing a cardiac stress limit test on him should reveal any heart problems..."
Not long after finishing the call with Ding Ye, Yu Zhiming was trying to fall asleep when he heard the sound of the door being pushed open, and then a smooth and soft body slipped into his arms.
"Aren't you tired?"
"Hehe, I'm not tired enough yet. I need to be even more tired to have a good sleep all night..."
It’s the end of the month, please support me with monthly tickets!!!
