Chapter 170 The Real Test for He Xu
Chen Tang did not comment. From the current point of view, the two aunts of the He family are both good people.
"Xiao Yue is a hot-tempered girl, but she is spoiled by her elder brother and his wife. The old man may not favor boys over girls, but the older generation thinks that once a girl is married, she is like water spilled out. The head of the He family must not be a girl."
He Tingfeng spoke slowly, the emotions in his eyes making Chen Tang unable to understand.
It's not like I was unwilling, but it doesn't seem like I accepted my fate either, as it disappeared in the blink of an eye.
She smiled and patted her shoulder: "You are different, you are my daughter-in-law, you are one of our family, and you may become one of the best figures in Kyoto in the future. Although it is not appropriate to say this at this time, I know you understand."
Chen Tang smiled at her: "Aunt, you are joking. I am myself first, and then the daughter-in-law of the He family."
He Tingfeng just smiled faintly and said nothing.
The girl was less than 20 years old, pursuing an illusory love, thinking that she could solve all the problems on her own.
Who isn't like this when they are young?
Old Master He didn't have the energy to play tricks on his sons, so he just let them kneel for an afternoon and then left.
However, Uncle He was unwilling to give up, for fear that He Xu would take away the old man's things when he came back this time, so he cried without caring about his image, and pulled the old lady into the conversation to win Mr. He's sympathy, and finally left his wife here. He said that he was here to serve the old man, but in fact he wanted to supervise He Xu.
The people in the third room were also unwilling to give up, and finally left their wives and children behind.
Mr. He did not object for the sake of his grandson.
When they moved in, they found out that He Xu didn't live here at all, but lived in a courtyard house outside.
Now the first and second wives were very happy, and they tried their best to please the old man, hoping to get something out of him.
When He's father saw so many people staying, he was so angry that he had to be pulled back by Zhang, who was standing next to him, to help him control his temper.
After leaving the house, Zhang smiled kindly at the two of them: "He Xu, we haven't had dinner together for a long time. How about coming to your father's house for lunch tomorrow?"
This was the first time that Zhang smiled so flatteringly that even Shen Tang was shocked.
This guy is really patient. Last time, He Xu beat He Qi so hard that he almost became disabled.
There was no emotion in He Xu's eyes: "No, you can eat it yourself."
Hearing his cold words, He's father glared at him and said, "Did I give you face? I'm sorry for you and your mother, but this is a new era. Arranged marriages shouldn't be allowed. If you can accept arranged marriages, can you still marry the daughter of the Shen family? I tell you, I'm right!"
He Xu glanced over coldly immediately, and the murderous look burning in his black eyes made He's father feel guilty.
Zhang saw that the atmosphere was not right, and hurried to persuade them: "Okay, no matter how big the hatred is, we are still a family. Now the first and third houses are eyeing the old man's things covetously. If we fight among ourselves, won't they laugh to death?"
It has to be said that Zhang is also adaptable.
I originally thought that I could be recognized by the old man with the help of He Qi, but the old man didn't take the illegitimate child seriously at all.
Zhang was the only one among the three who had some intelligence. She knew that He Qi would not be in the old man's eyes, so she immediately started with He Xu.
Put He Xu up and make him a target for everyone, use him to deal with the other two families, and then when he gets the token of the head of the family, pull him down ruthlessly. In this way, won’t her son have a chance?
In fact, He's father didn't hate his son at the beginning, but He Xu was born rebellious and had no respect for his father. If he allowed him to climb over his head, would he still have a say in the future?
He didn't dare admit his jealousy.
I dare not admit that I regret it.
In order to get a divorce, he gave up his future, which made the old man extremely disappointed in him.
What he wanted most was to let He Xu fall into the mud. Only in this way could he comfort himself that his grandfather had a bad vision and he had misjudged him.
Zhang's proposal had been discussed with him last night, and He's father slapped her in the face.
Asking him to bow his head in front of He Xu again would be the same as being dead!
But Zhang could also endure it. She humbled herself and persuaded him to use He Xu's hand to deal with the people from both families. Then, when He Xu was in high spirits, she would step on him. Then He's father would be the real person in charge of the He family. At that time, even the old man would look at him with admiration.
Only then did He's father agree to Zhang's plan.
Now He Xu didn't even give him face, which made him even angrier.
How dare a person who he had beaten and abused at will since childhood reject him?
He was thinking angrily when Shen Tang spoke up: "Actually, what Aunt Zhang said is not wrong. Are you going to father's house for lunch tomorrow?"
He Xu lowered his head and looked at her. The little girl blinked and gave him a wink.
He's father's expression eased a little: "You are sensible. When you come for lunch tomorrow, remember to order two dishes and buy some wine."
Chen Tang's mouth twitched: "Forget it, He Xu and I came back in a hurry this time, and we didn't bring much money with us."
Zhang spoke before He's father: "No, no, just come over and eat."
The relationship between father and son was like a firecracker that could be ignited at any time. Although all this was caused by her, it was not time to ignite it at this time.
He Xu took Shen Tang to the Shen family.
Little He Zhi was still playing toys with Grandpa Shen. The old man was free, so he spent half a day making a rocking chair for him and carved a lot of wooden figures, which made the little guy laugh.
When he saw his parents coming back, the little guy immediately crawled over to be held by them.
He Xu tapped his head gently: "Sit down."
Xiao Hezhi pursed his lips and sat down immediately.
Daddy really does spank him.
Mr. Shen held the child and smiled cheerfully: "Actually, you can live here. I like Xiao Atang too."
Chen Tang heard what he hadn’t finished saying, and hugged his arm and acted like a spoiled child: “Grandpa is dishonest, you clearly know that the two families are too close, not only will it affect Xiao Atang, but it will also be easy for them to suppress it.”
Although Mr. Shen is here, she and He Xu are the younger generation. If the aunt wants to come to see them, can they stop her once or twice?
She was reluctant to let Xiaobao be bothered by others, and she didn't want to disturb Mr. Shen's leisure time.
Just move out and come to visit the two old men every day.
I feel freer and more relaxed in my own yard.
Mr. Shen had reminded them long ago that he and Mr. He had been comrades-in-arms for many years, and he could probably guess what he was thinking.
It's nothing more than a sting operation, trying to cut off all the possible people at once and completely establish He Xu's position.
He allowed those people from the He family to move in just because he wanted to keep things under control.
But when that time comes, who knows what will happen.
Mr. Shen doesn't care about those things.
He doesn't care whether He Xu can become the next head of the He family.
Anyway, Shen Tang is his granddaughter and the treasure of his Shen family. Even if the He family is rotten to pieces, her presence is enough to support He Xu and Shen Tang.
Even if other descendants of the He family replace He Xu in the future, it doesn’t matter. The Shen family’s network of relationships has never been worse than that of the He family.
Everyone can see that once Mr. He dies, there will be no one to support the He family. Then, the He family will not be able to gain a foothold in Kyoto, and it will be good enough if they are not divided up.
The struggle with people like the He family has always been a trivial matter.
The real test for He Xu is how he can escape and fight back from this joint attack by outsiders and his own people.
