Wan Yuning finished his words in a huff, then turned his gaze to Zhong Yuxiu, who was about to refuse. His face had been tense for the past few days, and he couldn't force a smile. "Yuxiu, this is something Dad left for you before he died. Just think of it as a thought for you. Do with it as you please. But you can't say no. Just think of it as fulfilling Dad's last wish."
"What else did he say?" After dividing the things, it wouldn't be that nothing was said.
Wan Yuning said, "Dad told us to visit each other more often. Our relationship is hurt, but it's not severed. I know that the brother-sister relationship between us can't go back to what it was before. Is it okay for us to just visit each other as relatives?"
Sure enough, he was waiting here.
Zhong Yuxiu glanced at the other people sitting there. Wan Silong had his eyes closed, and Wan Yufang stood behind him, simply watching and listening. She could see the greed and dissatisfaction in the eyes of the other uncles of the Wan family.
"It's good to have relatives visiting. Now that he's gone, you can do what you want to do." There's no need to stick to a fixed salary and be a filial son by the patient's bedside.
"That's what Dad meant. The money given to me is my starting fee."
The starting fee is a generous one hundred thousand US dollars. How can it not develop in China? It takes a fool to get started. After that, it all depends on how the head of the family manages it.
Wan Yuning added, "When you leave later, take some of the antiques and calligraphy from home with you. As for the things in the Swiss bank, I'll notify you after they're taken out. You'll have to make another trip then."
"Okay." Zhong Yuxiu nodded in agreement. She and her children would not take the money; they would donate it all in the name of Wan Xuetang and the original owner, as a way to accumulate blessings for them.
As for the gold and silver jewelry, antique calligraphy and paintings, we will find a suitable opportunity to return them to Wan Yuning's descendants.
She was not the original owner and should not have accepted this inheritance; however, what Wan Yuning said was not wrong. She should just regard it as fulfilling Wan Xuetang's last wish, since Wan Xuetang still gave her this inheritance after knowing that she was not the original owner.
"That's all I have to say. When you come over next time, I'll sign a certificate regarding the distribution of our father's estate. After we sign, we'll each keep a copy."
Wan Yuning acted openly, and Zhong Yuxiu would be even more open. After counting the antique calligraphy and paintings, they each got a share. The share belonging to Zhong Yuxiu was moved twice by Fang Guozhong, who put it in the car and then came back to protect her.
After the items were clearly distributed, Zhong Yuxiu said, "The antiques and calligraphy have been distributed. Please inform me of the future matters. If you have any difficulties, you can come to me. That's it. Rushan and I have to go back. Fourth Grandpa, uncles, and these few people, goodbye."
"goodbye."
Wan Yuning personally escorted the person out of the Wan family before saying these two words.
After watching their car drive away, Wan Yuning returned to the main hall. Several uncles of the Wan family spoke up one after another, "Yuning, Yuxiu was here just now, so we couldn't say anything. But how could you agree to give our Wan family's things to an outsider like her?"
"That's right. Wan Yutong was right not to share the inheritance. She really did let you and your father down. How can an outsider like Zhong Yuxiu get a share of the inheritance? Her surname isn't even the same as our Wan family's, so how can we give her anything?"
"Yu Ning! Is your father sick and confused?"
"Why give good things to outsiders instead of keeping them for your own family? We brothers had nothing left when our house was ransacked. We're still living in poverty, so why don't you think of us brothers?"
"That's right! Even if we were given any one of those antiques, it would be enough for our family to eat and drink for many years."
The uncles and aunts of the Wan family kept talking when Wan Silong suddenly opened his eyes. His eyes were sharp and full of coldness. The uncles and aunts of the Wan family shuddered when they were swept by such a look and stopped complaining and scolding at the same time.
"Do you want to divide the inheritance left by Xuetang?" Wan Silong sneered.
The uncles and aunts of the Wan family were speechless and dared not say anything. Wan Silong was a tough guy in his days, but he didn't suffer much when he was demoted. After he came back, his temper became calmer, but that was only on the surface. If they pissed him off, no one knew if he would use them as the first person to establish his authority.
Even though Wan Silong is old, his ruthless methods back then are still vivid in our memory.
Now, forget it. When people get older, there are two extremes: one is becoming even more ruthless, and the other is becoming a good person. Judging from Wan Silong's performance, he's become even more ruthless.
"Why aren't you talking?" Wan Silong's smile was cold, and the Wan family uncles shook their heads repeatedly, "Fourth Uncle, how dare we! We split up the family long ago, and we still have some dignity."
Wan Silong, however, had no intention of letting them off. He sneered, "It's good to have some dignity, but I'm afraid you've lost it. You're all old enough, so at least you can set a good example for the younger generation. I don't ask you to be too ambitious, but the most basic thing is to not bully others. Can you do that?"
"Yes, yes."
Even if he couldn't, he had to be able to. This man, ruthless enough to kill himself, was at the point of succession for the Wan family's direct line, now known as Wan Xuetang. The direct line's heirs were few and far between, compared to the collateral branches, which had coveted them for years. Wan Xuetang carved a path through the cracks, thanks in no small part to Wan Silong's covert support.
So many years have passed, and they could never have imagined that Wan Silong still missed his nephew Wan Xuetang; Wan Xuetang had not been in contact with Wan Silong for many years. It was strange that this old man Wan Silong just couldn't die. It was said that a disaster would last for a thousand years, and it was true!
"Remember what you said today, otherwise, I, Wan Silong, will not be able to lift the sword."
The uncles of the Wan family left in disgrace. Wan Yuning breathed a sigh of relief and stood up to bow to Wan Silong and thank him. "Fourth Grandfather, thank you. I'm lucky to have you here."
Wan Silong glanced at him and said, "Now that Xue Tang has passed away, you're the only one left to support this branch. What are your plans?"
"I plan to quit my job and start a business. With the money my father left me, I will choose an industry to work in first." Wan Yuning plans to run the Wan family business again. The Wan family used to mainly deal in medicinal materials, department stores, and farmland, and also invested in more than ten large factories, covering industries in various sectors.
"What industry do you plan to work in?"
Wan Yuning said, "I have looked at the market for the construction industry. Now is the time when the construction industry is booming. If we can be among the first group of people to enter the construction market, we will definitely be able to get a big piece of the pie." As for the rest, we will plan it slowly later.
"Yeah." Wan Silong was quite satisfied with the answer. "The medicinal herbs business can be done, but herbs are becoming increasingly scarce. If you want to find good herbs, you need to go deep into the mountains. Don't lose the roots of your branch."
"Thank you, Fourth Grandpa, for your advice. I will slowly start the business. However, I have no one on hand, so could I ask Brother Yufang for some help?"
Wan Silong then looked at him straight in the eye. This kid was quite sensible. He had just helped him, and now he wanted to help his juniors. He had a bit of the character and righteousness of Wan Xuetang.
"If you don't mind, take them with you. There are a few good-for-nothing guys at home. You can ask them to run errands for you when you need them." There are many descendants in his lineage, and they were implicated when they were sent down to the countryside. Many of them are good-for-nothing and have no ambitions. He asked Wan Yuning to help take them with him. He didn't expect them to be very successful, but just wanted them to be able to support himself, his wife and children.
