Chapter 482 Mr. He has a batch of gold
Old Mrs. Tian coughed lightly and said, "He's talking nonsense. This antique was given to me by you last time. It's from the Qing Dynasty and has no value. I gave it to him because I thought it was beautiful. This child is filial and thought it was beautiful, so he gave it back to you. Don't take it to heart, sister Tanhua."
Old Lady Jin snorted coldly: "The chief loves my sister, so naturally he gave all the good things to the people in the first house. What can an old lady like me say?"
Mr. He: "Why are you being so weird? Did anyone in your family provoke you?"
Old Lady Jin: "Whatever the old commander says is what it is. Now the family of the first house is reunited in harmony, and four generations of descendants enjoy the rest of their lives together. But my unfilial son is still suffering in prison. What can I say?"
"No one cares when I talk too much. No one helps me when I am bullied. I am a person of low opinion, so I am naturally not as beloved as the old leader."
The scene became quiet for a moment. Uncle He had just been released from prison and had not heard what happened in the third room. He looked back at his wife with a confused look on his face.
The couple lowered their heads and whispered to each other for a long time.
Hearing that so many things happened during the New Year, and that the Ning family had designed to put He Ling and Yu He in jail, Uncle He took a deep breath.
"Fourth brother's wife, this is your fault. Fourth brother just has a mistress, and she doesn't threaten your position. How can you let the Ning family be so calculating? What do they think of our He family?"
Ning Suyue rolled her eyes: "Sister-in-law, you should take care of your husband. It's not your turn to talk about our third room's affairs."
Uncle He was feeling very proud, but when he heard her words, he frowned slightly and became angry: "Fourth sister-in-law, you sent your man to jail. I'm afraid the spit outside will drown you. Listen to your eldest brother and find a time to make the Ning family stop. You are husband and wife, and husband and wife can't hold grudges overnight."
Ning Suyue's mouth twitched and she turned away in disgust.
Mr. He didn't want to talk about this. He looked at the Chen Tang couple who were whispering and said, "Where is the gift you prepared for me?"
Chen Tang and He Xu got up and went to the room to push out a Suzhou embroidery painting of a thousand miles of rivers and mountains.
The old man liked Suzhou embroidery very much, and the two of them only found out about it when they suddenly saw the old man bought a few pieces of Suzhou embroidery clothes.
Sure enough, the old man's eyes lit up when he saw the Su embroidery: "Not bad, not bad, this painting of a thousand miles of rivers and mountains is good, hang it on the wall for me later.
Uncle He was amazed. "You are really willing to spend so much. This embroidery will cost several hundred yuan, right? Speaking of which, your mall should have made a lot of money. That land used to belong to our He family, and we should have a share of the money. Dad, I just got out and don't have a job. Why don't you let niece Chen Tang give me a floor of the shop, and I will give them a share of the profits from the future."
He Xu: "Uncle, do you still have any shame? That place was given to us by grandpa as compensation. My wife opened a mall and has not yet recovered the cost. Do you want to get it for free?"
Uncle He: "What do you mean I want to get it for free? That place originally belonged to our He family."
He was thinking about the annual profit of Chen Tang Shop. He heard that the service there was excellent and many wealthy people went there to shop. He had not yet recovered the cost of his disbelief, so He Xu must be lying.
"He Xu, don't forget, if it weren't for you, I wouldn't be in jail!"
Old Lady Jin interrupted, "Yes, you two are really causing a lot of harm to others. Ever since Chen Tang married into our family, our family has never been at peace."
Chen Tang was speechless: "What the old lady said is wrong. Those who do evil will be punished by heaven. It's not that there is no retribution, but the time has not come. As a man, Fourth Uncle is not doing justice to his wife. As a father, he is not doing justice to He Yang. As a son, he fell out with his mother because of a woman. As a public official, he broke the law knowingly. He is disloyal, unrighteous and unfilial. Isn't it destined that he will go to jail?"
"Shut up!" Because her son was in prison and her grandson was leaving the capital, Mrs. Jin had lost her former virtuousness and elegance and was now only gloomy and furious.
"You are a disaster, and you have brought trouble to all the members of the He family!"
Chen Tang angrily retorted: "Fourth Uncle is a piece of shit. You are also responsible for his imprisonment. You schemed against the first wife, the second wife, and all of us just for the property in Grandpa's hands. If it is wrong for us to fight back, then do you want to say that Grandpa should not have fought back against the Japanese back then!"
Old Lady Jin: "Sharp-tongued!"
Mr. He: "That's enough, stop quarreling. You quarreled during the New Year, quarreled at birthday banquets, is there any time when you don't quarrel?"
He was really fed up with these people.
"After dinner, everyone can go back to their own homes. I live here alone and don't need you to visit me."
Old Mrs. Jin's eyes were filled with tears: "Do you really not care about your son and grandson? Did you know that Yang'er was forced to apply for a transfer to a small county town in Haishi?"
Uncle He's eyes widened, obviously unaware that the only root of the third branch was also about to leave the capital.
Of course Mr. He knew about this, and he still felt a little guilty: "Okay, if you don't want to argue, just sit down and eat. What's wrong with going to Hai City? He wants to do that, so why would you stop him?"
He Yang also advised: "Yes, grandma, please wait for me, I will bring you glory sooner or later."
Old Mrs. Jin cried on his shoulder.
She regretted it in her heart. If she had known that the old man said it didn't matter, she shouldn't have tricked Ning Suyue into letting Yu He out.
I thought Ning Suyue would not be so cruel as to send He Ling to jail, but the Ning family was unreasonable and actually schemed against their third branch.
When He Ling got into trouble, the old lady was still retching and refused to come to Grandpa He for help.
Now that her grandson has applied to be transferred to Hai City, she is still angry and verbally resents the old man for not wanting to help.
She didn't want to admit that she was wrong, nor did she have the face to beg Mr. He in front of everyone. But He Yang was so obedient and cared about her so much, and just said that he would win honor for her, which made her feel sad.
Old Mrs. Jin regretted it. She covered her face and cried, then suddenly knelt down in front of the old man.
Mr. He was upset: "What on earth are you going to do?"
Old Lady Jin choked up and said, "I don't blame you for not caring about He Ling. After all, it was He Ling who did something illegal. But I have been with you for so many years, and now my son is in jail, my grandson has to move away, and my house and money have all been taken away by others. Can you be so cruel?"
Mr. He frowned and said, "It's you who refuses to pay."
Even though He Ling owed a loan shark, he was still able to pay back the money from Old Lady Jin. However, after that, they would be left with nothing.
Old Mrs. Jin relied on her status and was unwilling to pay back the money. She also used her status to pressure others. She only regretted it after she was kicked out.
But after she knew that the old man had rented a house for them, that regret disappeared.
She thought that Mr. He would meet her and help her. Even if the house was transferred to Ning Suyue's name, she still felt that she just had to wait for the old man to help her.
Who would have thought that the house had been transferred for more than a month and the old man still hadn't made any move.
Old Mrs. Jin couldn't bear to lose face and didn't come to see the old man this month.
Until today, which was the old man's birthday, the Ning family also came to the birthday banquet. Old Man He did not blame them at all and treated them as usual.
Old Mrs. Jin suddenly remembered that when the old man said he would not care about them that time, he really did not care about them.
Mr. He sighed, "Epiphyllum, it is important for people to be content. Children have their own paths to follow. Today is my birthday party, so don't make me worry."
Old Lady Jin was furious: "I'm bothering you? You favor the eldest wife. When the family was divided, most of the property was given to them. The second wife is your favorite. You gave all your property and ancestral home to an outsider and didn't give it to us. What do we have?
He Ling has loved and admired you since he was a child. What about you? Do you treat him as your son?
Or, Tian Ling is your childhood sweetheart and your relative, so you prefer her, and He Zheng's mother is your beloved woman, so you also prefer her, but I am the only step-wife who manages the household for you and builds connections for you, and once you don't need me, you won't give me any favoritism, right?"
He Yang stepped forward and whispered, "Grandma, forget it, let's not make a fuss about Grandpa's birthday."
Old Mrs. Jin cried and said, "I don't want to make a fuss, but my children are in prison, and my good grandson has to leave the capital. I have lived half my life and have nothing..."
Everything she had run was gone.
Mr. He: "Then what do you want? He Yang's application for transfer has been approved and it cannot be changed."
Old Mrs. Jin immediately changed her tone: "The Ning family designed my house and I lost it. It was my lifelong support. You have to help me get it back. Also, the eldest wife suffered in those days, but it was not our fault. No matter how much money you gave them, you have to compensate us."
Old Madam Tian angrily cursed: "You are such a jerk, I am your first wife, who do you think you are? In the Republic of China, you were not even my concubine without my permission and without offering me tea. How dare you compare with me!"
Uncle He also nodded: "Yes, if my mom and dad hadn't been lost, you wouldn't have a place in the He family now. You, the third branch, are too greedy!"
Old Mrs. Jin also knew that she had gone too far.
But she had to think for herself.
Once they are transferred out of Kyoto, they will definitely not be able to come back within a few years.
They couldn't know the situation in Beijing at the first time.
When the old man dies, the little bit of stuff he leaves behind will definitely be divided up between the two branches of the He family!
Although everyone tacitly knew over the years that the old man must have left what he had to He Xu, who knew if he had kept anything back.
According to Mrs. Jin's investigation, the old man had a batch of gold.
