My husband and his concubine took medicine and died. Miss Qin San also left Lujia Garden. A few years ago, after the storm, the government returned the house and our family took it back, but Miss Qin San refused to take it. She would rather live with her youngest son and daughter-in-law in a house of more than 20 square meters allocated by the unit. "Chen Qinxian smiled, "Miss Qin San is more gentle than my mother, and she still can't accept that place. With my mother's personality, how could she step into Fanyuan again?"
After hearing this, Deputy Director Zhang was speechless.
Xue Xiaojing said to Fan Qi: "Miss Qin San, the one you have seen is the good mother-in-law of the Lu family in Chang'anli!"
Fan Qi tried hard to think that there was indeed a good grandmother of the Lu family in her memory who was elegant and gentle even in her old age. She said: "Good grandmother of the Lu family even used a coal-brick stove to steam cakes for me to eat. She was the most delicious good grandmother I have ever met. So there is such a story!"
Xue Xiaojing touched Fan Qi's hair and said, "You know, our family doesn't have many rules. However, both the Chen family and the Xue family were prominent families back then. Our family never taught us that it was about how much money we had, but about the value of character. In the hearts of my husband and wife, no one is more valuable than your grandmother and your parents. When your grandmother worked as a maid in my house, Zhiqian's grandmother knew that your grandfather was seriously ill, so she asked a Western doctor to perform surgery on your grandfather, although your grandfather did not survive. But your family has always kept this favor in mind. In order to protect Zhiqian, how much hardship and suffering did your family endure in such an environment? When we came back and took back the house, which was so big, we invited your parents and grandmother to live in it, but they refused resolutely and refused to take advantage of it. That's why my husband and I can get along so well with your parents. Birds of a feather flock together, and this category is not classified by money, but by like-minded people, do you understand?"
Chen Ma was making indirect accusations, but Fan Qi nodded repeatedly: "I know."
Chen Qinxian stood up and said, "We have made our family's ideas very clear. I am very sorry that we cannot fulfill Mr. Liu's wish."
Chen Zhiqian stood up with his father. Fan Qi held Xue Xiaojing's arm. Chen Qinxian said to Deputy Director Zhang, "Director Zhang, my wife and I are leaving on a flight tomorrow afternoon. Our school hasn't had its summer vacation yet, and my wife is busy at the hospital. Let's just leave this matter here, okay?"
When he said this, he seemed to be characterizing the incident as a farce.
Liu Xiangnian was originally in poor health and had a pale face. At this moment, he had turned extremely pale. He stood up and held Chen Qinxian: "Si Nian, I have been worried about you and your mother all these years."
"Mr. Liu, I went to Chongqing while in my mother's belly. My mother gave birth to me on the way to Baoji. When I returned to Hong Kong, I was already a five-year-old child. You held me for twenty minutes on the way to Fanyuan when you picked us up from Kai Tak Airport? What did you let my mother see when we entered Fanyuan? My mother stayed in Fanyuan for less than ten minutes, and we hardly met after that. How can two people who have hardly had any contact have feelings for each other? I have a wife and a son, and my son is already married. Suddenly, a father has to worry about me?"
Chen Qinxian exhaled helplessly, his eyes became sharp, completely different from the gentle scholar just now: "Please don't attribute all this to historical reasons. My mother should have settled down in Hong Kong after returning to Hong Kong in 1946, except that you took advantage of her absence to marry a second wife, and Hong Kong fell. You were the first to sell the factory to the Japanese on behalf of the Chen family, bringing shame to the Chen family, so she decided to leave. If it weren't for you, would she have died of a high fever? If it weren't for you, would I have been a shepherd at the foot of Tianshan Mountain for more than ten years? That period of history ended in 1978, and the first Hong Kong-invested enterprise was established in the mainland in 1979. If Mr. Liu was concerned, why didn't he step into the mainland as soon as possible to look for your concern?"
Being questioned by his son, Liu Xiangnian couldn't tell everyone about his inner torment over the years: "Si Nian, you are too stubborn. If you didn't cooperate at that time, you would have died. How can you blame me for all your suffering? If your mother hadn't insisted on leaving Gangcheng, how could you have suffered so much?"
"Yes! So also in Gangcheng, Mr. Yuan of Yongyu was assassinated. The Yuan family would rather close the film company and newspaper than cooperate with the Japanese, and the Yuan family suffered heavy losses. But you retained your strength and recovered as soon as possible after the war. You are a real man who can bend and stretch. I am Chen Wanyin's son. We are mother and son, and we like to get stuck in a rut. Since we have different paths, why force it. I can do without hatred, but you want me to have feelings, which is really forcing me. The best way for us to get along is to forget each other in the world." Chen Qinxian regained his calm again.
