This winter, Song Tanglan lost a lot of fun because the three of them were away. She stayed at home all day and didn't go anywhere. When she was bored, she would read books or cook all kinds of delicious food.
…
"Lanlan."
"What's wrong, second sister?" Song Tanglan raised her head and looked at Song Tangcheng who came in from outside the door, curious about what she wanted to see her about at this time.
"I have good news for you. Your sister-in-law and your third sister are both pregnant, only one month apart!"
Song Tangcheng shared the good news with a smile on her face. Cheng Fangyuan went to the public office to collect food today and happened to pick up a letter from home. When she saw the letter, she thought something had happened at home, but she didn't expect it to be a happy event.
Song Tanglan was also very happy to hear the news: "Really?"
"Really? Your brother-in-law just brought back a letter. But there's some bad news. Do you want to hear it?"
"What bad news? Tell me!"
At this moment, Song Tanglan's mind was full of the thought of having two new children in the family. As for the bad news from her second sister, she did not take it seriously. After all, her second sister always took her out like this.
It's obviously a small matter, but they have to say it's bad news. She is used to being walked now. She might have been angry at first, but now she has become numb.
Seeing that his younger sister didn't show much expression, Song Tangcheng lost the mood to joke and handed the letter to her, letting her read it herself.
After Song Tanglan finished reading the contents of the letter, he fell silent.
She really never expected that Ji Li would fall from power. He was reported with solid evidence and was sent to a farm for 10 years of reform. All the family property was confiscated.
Seeing this, Song Tanglan couldn't help but look solemn. He thought of Jiang Shubai and wondered if he knew the news now.
"Don't worry, even though the relationship between the two families has become strained, the blood relationship still exists. For the sake of grandpa, dad won't ignore it now."
"Does my cousin know about this?"
"He probably doesn't know yet. Didn't you see Dad say that his house was just raided and he won't be sent to the farm for a month? Now that old man hasn't even contacted Xiaobai, how could he possibly know?"
Although Song Tangcheng hated this blood relative, he couldn't help but feel worried when he knew his fate.
When they went back to visit their relatives, they also heard from their father that the man was implicated in an incident and had been trying to find a way to get out of it, but he didn't expect that he would be included in the end.
All three of them knew about this matter, but no one dared to tell Jiang Shubai.
But now that something has happened, I have to say it.
"So are you going to tell your cousin now?"
"Don't worry, your second brother-in-law has gone to find him, but don't worry, their family affairs have nothing to do with us."
Song Tangcheng was also quite scared at first, because his involvement caused his family to be affected. However, he felt relieved when he thought that except for a few familiar people, no one knew that they were related.
…
"Old Song, what do you think he meant? He was so ruthless before, but now he thinks of our family. Xiaobai is already an adult, and he entrusted him to us. What about the money?"
Su He was speechless as she looked at the letter and passbook in front of her. She learned from her two daughters that the child adopted by that man was a good child and had a good relationship with her two daughters.
But why didn’t that man treat the child better before? Now that something happened, he suddenly remembered his kindness.
"He must have known that something bad would happen to him after I showed up. The money must have been transferred out a long time ago, otherwise it would have been investigated long ago."
Song's father was also helpless when he saw the passbook. He was a little surprised when he received the news that the man was in trouble. After finding out the cause, he could only say that he deserved it. However, he did not expect that this man would fall and leave a way out for the child.
"Then why should we give this money to us? Why not just give it to the child directly? It's too hot to keep it in your hands now."
"It's better to put it aside beforehand. If that kid suddenly has such a large sum of money, it will easily attract attention and affect him."
Song's father couldn't help but sigh at this time. He had guessed that something would happen to his nominal eldest brother, but he didn't expect that he would hold on to this for so long.
He now knew what those people were after. What else could it be except their properties that could affect both families? In the final analysis, it was all about money.
His father's efforts to preserve the family fortune had destroyed his family and torn the clan apart. Luckily, the elders had already moved everything out. Who would have thought that after all these years, those people would still be eyeing those things?!
It's because each of those treasures is priceless, otherwise he wouldn't have been planning for so many years.
Fortunately, he had his parents' savings over the years, so he hadn't touched those things. Otherwise, they would have been discovered long ago! After all, they were still found on them after so many years, so those people probably hadn't given up yet.
"Why do they keep pestering us?"
"Ahe, didn't you guess it?" Father Song looked at his wife. His wife was so smart, how could she not think of the reason.
"But after all these years, are those people so sure that those things are still in our hands?"
"That's why I'm testing him like crazy! Otherwise, how could my stupid brother be taken advantage of?"
Father Song sighed when he thought of this. Those things were indeed too important to their family. They had been passed down from their ancestors for many years, otherwise his father would have donated them long ago.
Otherwise it wouldn't have survived until now.
"Then do we really not care about Ji Li?"
"No matter what he does, isn't he awesome? Let him figure it out on his own. Doesn't he have a lot of connections? Let him find his own way out!"
