"There's nothing we can do about it? Even though Mingcheng did grow up around us, he is still Second Sister's child and a descendant of the Zhao family."
They are not children of the Shen family. If they were, Second Sister wouldn't need to do anything.
I would never have agreed to their marriage in the first place.
"No, it's not that bad. If you disagree with their marriage, it will make them feel that we don't share the profits equally."
If it were me, I would have made it clear before their wedding that if they wanted to get married, they would move out and live separately.
At that time, I will also make it clear that they have absolutely no share in the property that belongs to me.
Even if you offered them a monthly allowance right now, I wouldn't give it to them.
"This method is not bad either. Cutting off their wealth directly is more painful than killing them."
But this will only lead to more gossip behind their backs.
"Let them talk! It's my money, okay? I get to decide who gets it."
If they have complaints, they'd better keep them to themselves. If I don't give them any, they'll never get a share.
"Too."
This wasn't just talk; it was something he had considered before his eldest son, Zhengze, got married.
Even if he doesn't like the woman he marries, it doesn't matter?
Unless the other person is someone who is down-to-earth and has questionable character, I will never let her step into my home again.
Not to mention, they can forget about keeping the businesses they own.
Fortunately, apart from Hongyu who is not yet married, the wives of his other two sons are quite good.
As for how to handle the assets in his own hands, haven't all the arrangements already been made?
All I can do is, while they are alive, wish them to live their lives well, not cause trouble, and not teach their children bad things.
I don't say how much money they get each month, but it's enough for them to live in Beijing.
As for whether they want to live a normal life, they have to rely on themselves. It's impossible for an old woman like me to do that.
After all, just because you have a lot of money doesn't mean you can squander it. That's impossible.
It's true that they earned the money themselves, but it doesn't belong to them.
Even now, the entire Shen family, including the old man and the old woman, has never said that the money they earn must belong to the Shen family.
Although we had some disagreements about the allocation of tasks, what could we do about it?
You get to decide what you earn. If you want a good life, you have to rely on your own abilities; otherwise, forget about it.
In life, one cannot be unable to live simply because one does not own brand-name items.
Ordinary people live like this, so why can't the rich live after going bankrupt?
I haven't seen any rich person commit suicide because their standard of living declined.
Besides, I don't care about this myself, not even when educating my children, but what if I marry a daughter-in-law like this?
I wouldn't object, but only if you or your man have the ability to do so.
If not, then I'm sorry, as a mother-in-law, I have no such obligation.
She's not the kind of person who has to dress her child in designer brands to be presentable in public. Besides, the Shen family is a military family, so they value character education more than material education.
Therefore, in his view, separating them was simply disowning his son, not to mention his daughter-in-law who was not related to him by blood.
As for their children, they don't even acknowledge their sons, so why do they insist on acknowledging their grandsons?
Does that mean you're not just making things harder for yourself? Of course not.
Don't say things like, "Your son won't take care of you in your old age, but your grandson will."
I don't believe that myself. You know, I have plenty of money. I can't leave anyone to take care of me when I'm old.
Why must I be expected to support you in your old age? If I have money, can't I live however I want?
"Third Aunt, Third Uncle, you're back."
"Hmm! By the way, what did you think of that younger member of the Jing family today?"
"Third Aunt, to be honest, that person from the Jing family, he just seems so-so!"
"Oh! Tell me about it!"
"I don't know if what I'm saying is right or wrong, I'm just sharing my thoughts."
"Just say it, it's okay if you say something wrong."
"Well, Auntie is the best."
"You mean, I, your third uncle, haven't treated you well?"
"No, no, that's not true, Uncle. Please don't misunderstand."
"Alright, Xiao Shi, hurry up and say it. Don't worry about your third uncle."
You know perfectly well that you're in the military all day, and you always have a stern face to maintain your authority.
"The other child in the family isn't afraid of you; only Ruohua is somewhat alright."
"Alright, Xiao Shi, you'd better hurry up and say it! Didn't you hear what your third aunt said?"
"Yes, Third Uncle, Third Aunt, I'll say it now. Actually, in my opinion, this member of the Jing family isn't the smartest one."
As for whether he's suited for the business world, I don't know.
Why do you say it's not the smartest one?
"Third Aunt, after so many years in the business world, is the only way to secure a project to do something under someone else's nose?"
"How is that possible? Such behavior is despicable and could never succeed."
"That's why I think this generation of the Jing family isn't very good!"
"That's true. Is there anything else?"
"Also, don't be fooled by his respectable appearance; upon closer inspection, he's actually just average!"
"You mean him, the way he is, completely stuffed up by his clothes?"
"That's not it, it's just that in my opinion, his experience is still insufficient."
If you're doing business in a small town, you can definitely impress people.
But this is not Beijing, this vast city, how could he possibly be someone who can be manipulated by him?
He probably won't even have a chance to put up a fight before he gets beaten to a pulp.
"If what you say is true, then the person from the Jing family in charge of Beijing is probably not him."
"It should be right."
"Third Uncle, Third Aunt, do you mean there is someone else?"
"If your analysis is correct, then it should be that we just don't know who this person is?"
"Do you think it could be that guy in the military?"
"Impossible? He doesn't have the time!"
Who was it that time?
"I don't know. It seems we need to have someone investigate carefully, especially in Beijing. Who else could it be? It can't be that girl from the Jing family, can it?"
"I don't know. Whoever it is, this matter should not be delayed. We need to send someone to investigate immediately."
"That's right, Xiao Shi, for now, you don't need to worry about this matter. Just focus on leading your troops in the army."
"But is this how it is at home?"
"It's alright, the elders in the family aren't too old to walk, there's no need for you to step in."
