Chen Ruxue guessed that this old lady should be the wife her adoptive grandfather later married.
When Jiang Zhengkun saw the old lady come in, he quickly reached out to support her, "Mom, go slowly!"
"Slow down? You'll beat my precious grandson to death!"
"Mom, you don't know, this bastard went to gamble secretly without my knowledge again, and owed others more than 100,000 yuan.
My son is really helpless!"
"Zeyu, didn't you promise grandma that you would stop gambling? Why are you breaking your promise again?
You, kid, are really a cause for concern.
You too, it's just over 100,000 yuan, isn't it? Just pay it back, isn't it? Why beat him up like that?"
"Mom, you know what our family's situation is like right now. How can we have extra money to pay off our gambling debts?"
Jiang Zhengkun looked at his mother helplessly. If he had any way, he would have solved it long ago.
Mrs. Jiang waved her hand, "Okay, stop talking, I understand!
Zeyu's mom, take Zeyu upstairs quickly and apply some medicine on him."
"Yes, mother."
Jiang Zhengkun's wife carefully helped her son upstairs.
Not until the two figures completely disappeared did Mrs. Jiang turn to look at her son, "Zhengkun, it's time to take good care of Zeyu, but there has to be a way to do it.
After this debt is paid off, mother wants him to go to the mainland to help with some things, and you can come with him. It's a good opportunity to take advantage of this time to discipline him.
Zhengkun, Zeyu is your only son, your father's only grandson, and the hope of the Jiang family. Only when he stands up can our Jiang family regain its former glory! "
Jiang Zhengkun nodded heavily. He knew this truth very well.
However, he really had no idea what to do with his son Jiang Zeyu.
Beat him, he won't listen! Scold him, it's useless! Cut off his money, and even his wife and mother have to give it to him secretly, but it's useless.
If this wasn't his only son, he would have beaten him to death long ago!
It’s strange to say, Jiang Zhengkun has had other women over the years, but none of those women could give birth to sons for him except daughters.
"Mom, why did you ask me and Zeyu to go to the mainland?"
"Don't ask, just follow me." Old Mrs. Jiang walked towards a room on the first floor.
Jiang Zhengkun followed closely behind!
Chen Ruxue was also very curious about the place in the space, so she quietly followed Jiang Zhengkun into the room before he closed the door.
She had searched this room before and found nothing.
I don’t know why the old lady called her son in.
Just as Chen Ruxue was thinking about it, she saw Old Lady Jiang walk to an ornament on a table and reach out to turn it twice.
As Old Lady Jiang stopped, a door suddenly appeared on the wall and slowly opened.
Jiang Zhengkun was instantly startled and exclaimed in surprise, "Mom, this is..."
"Don't ask, just follow me in."
Old Mrs. Jiang picked up the flashlight on the table and walked through the door first.
Jiang Zhengkun also hurried to catch up.
Chen Ruxue followed out of curiosity! She had never expected that there was a secret room in this house. She wondered what was hidden inside. Could it be a treasure map?
Old Mrs. Jiang illuminated the way with a flashlight and first turned into a small space, followed by a staircase extending from the underground.
After walking down the stairs for about one floor, Old Mrs. Jiang entered an empty room.
Before Jiang Zhengkun could ask any questions, Old Lady Jiang reached out and knocked on the wall on the left. Soon, another door opened.
"Come on, follow me in!"
Chen Ruxue followed the two people closely and walked into a super large room that was brightly lit.
In addition to an iron box, there were several other boxes placed in the corner.
Old Mrs. Jiang gestured to her son Jiang Zhengkun, "Go open those boxes."
Jiang Zhengkun obediently took a few steps, reached out and opened a few boxes, and was instantly shocked by the contents. "Mom, this is..."
Old Mrs. Jiang also walked into the box and gently stroked the jewelry and gold bars in the box, as if recalling something, "These things were brought from the mainland by your grandfather and your father at all costs.
I remember that the boxes filled the entire large room.
Unexpectedly, in just a few decades, so much money was spent.
Alas! Your father and I are useless. We have no business acumen. Ever since your grandfather passed away, we have been living off our savings.
Now, there is no other way but to take out the last few boxes of things and live on. "
"Mom, I'm sorry. It's all because of my uselessness."
"Yeah! You're useless, and your father and I are even more useless. We were once such a good family, but now it's in such a state.
Fortunately, there is always a way out. Your father told me a secret before he died.
I believe that as long as we follow the method your father told us, our family will definitely get better.
Once we get that money, we won’t have to worry about not working for decades, or even for two or three generations.”
Seeing that Old Lady Jiang was speaking mysteriously, Jiang Zhengkun couldn't hold back any longer, "Mom, what secret did Dad tell you before he died?"
Chen Ruxue also wanted to know the answer to Jiang Zhengkun's question, and she had roughly guessed that it should be the secret about the treasure.
Moreover, what she wanted to know more at this moment was where the treasure map in the hands of the Jiang family was hidden?
Old Mrs. Jiang looked at her son with bright eyes, "Zhengkun, you probably don't know yet, but in fact, our Jiang family's ancestors were very capable and wealthy businessmen.
Back then, the Jiang and Bai families joined forces and became in-laws. Your father's generation was naturally no exception.
The first wife your father married was Bai Man, the only daughter of the Bai family.
You don't know how stunningly beautiful Bai Man was back then, but it's a pity that she was so beautiful she died young due to complications during childbirth."
"Wait, Mom, you said Dad had married a wife before you, her name was Bai Man, and they had a child?
Then, what about that child? Is he dead or..."
"Of course she's alive. Bai Man is Mr. Bai's only daughter. If Bai Man dies, the child she gave birth to will naturally become the only bloodline of the Bai family.
Back then, for some reasons, your grandfather had to bring your father to Xiangcheng. Originally, your grandfather planned to bring the child along.
But Mr. Bai said he disagreed with everything. In the end, in order not to damage the relationship between the Jiang and Bai families, your grandfather had to leave the child in the Bai family.
"So, is the baby a boy or a girl?"
"A very handsome boy! But you don't have to think too much about it. The child is long gone. Besides, he only had one daughter."
After hearing what Old Lady Jiang said, Jiang Zhengkun finally felt relieved.
He thought that besides him, there was another male in the Jiang family!
