"Okay, then you pack your things, I'll go back to my room to pack the clothes I need."
"Okay, no problem."
Over the years, the children have tried their best to treat each other equally. Even the money given to them by the family foundation each month is the same, and there is no requirement that the eldest son or grandson must receive much more than the others.
There is only equality among them, because they don't need to manage anything; they only need to pursue what they want to pursue.
To others, Li Mianmian has a vast family fortune, yet no one will inherit it—how tragic!
Little did they know that Li Mianmian had four children in her lifetime, and they would never quarrel over the family business that her mother had worked so hard to build.
This is rare in Beijing, and even in the whole country; it is truly a rare example of a harmonious family.
However, this harmonious family is only in the eyes of outsiders, after all, the Shen family is not just Shen Xi's branch, there are other people as well.
No matter how carefully you choose your daughter-in-law, and no matter how good the relationship between the children is, there can be no bad mother-in-law/daughter-in-law relationship.
But no one can guarantee that the daughter-in-law's family is completely without fault.
Leaving aside them, aren't we facing the same problem in our own family right now?
"Jun De's mother, what do you think of this matter?"
"Auntie, what nonsense are you talking about? I think you've had too much to drink!"
Don't think that just because you've had too much to drink, you can say anything you want.
Today is my grandson's one-month celebration, a joyous occasion! If you have anything to discuss, let's wait until after today!
"Yes, sister-in-law."
"My dear in-laws, please excuse my poor appearance."
"It's okay, don't take it to heart."
"Hey, I'm used to it."
Ever since Junde's wife gave birth, relatives from his in-laws' side have finally found an excuse to come over.
Visiting the baby and the new mother are just excuses; the real reason is to build relationships.
Fortunately, Junde's wife was in postpartum confinement at the time, and the baby was still small, so they made excuses to refuse.
But who would have thought that today, when we're celebrating the baby's one-month birthday, this same group of people will gather around again.
Fortunately, the full moon celebration wasn't a big affair; it was just a gathering of close relatives for a meal and drinks.
If there are too many people, I don't know what to do. They come one after another, always with this or that, it's enough to drive anyone crazy.
"I'm sorry, mother-in-law."
“What are you saying? Even without my grandson’s one-month celebration today, these people would have found other excuses to come here.”
"But what about her aunt?"
"Speak your mind directly."
"Since that's the case, and your mother-in-law is no stranger, then I'll just say it directly."
"you say."
"Okay. My husband's idea is that, regardless of whether it's her aunt or uncle, as long as they ask the Shen family, we'll support them and not interfere!"
"this?"
"To be honest, although I haven't figured out exactly what her uncle did this time, one thing I do know is that it can't affect Junde's business."
"Does your in-laws know about this?"
"I know, my child's father and her uncle had some conflicts, especially after the old man passed away. To outsiders, it seems like blood is thicker than water, but no matter how close they are, they are not brothers born of the same mother."
And because of the old man's favoritism back then, her father already had a thorn in his side.
Her father had never intended for her uncle to marry into the family, and it was only because her aunt came to their door that things changed.
When she spoke, her eyes darted around, and her father felt that the problem was not simple, so he specifically asked someone to inquire about it.
But no matter who she contacted, when they heard it was about her uncle, they would tell her not to get involved, otherwise she would be dragged into it.
As you know, my husband and I only have these three children. After hearing this, we had to think about the children's future.
So I never planned to repay it, but I never expected that this shameless woman would actually come begging to her in-laws.
"It's alright. To be honest, we've also heard about her uncle."
But hearing about it and understanding it are still different.
As you know, even though the old man has been retired for so many years, he still has quite a few men under his command.
Not long after the incident, I received a phone call at home, and the most frequent message was to not ask questions or interfere.
Otherwise, no matter who you are, or how much merit you've made, it won't matter; you'll still be investigated.
"this?"
"We in the Shen family don't know the specifics of what happened, and the higher-ups really don't want the old man to ask too many questions about it."
Besides that, when I came here, the higher-ups had already been secretly investigating the relationship between the two families.
"Won't that affect my in-laws and Junde?"
"No, but since she came here today, I'm afraid we'll have to explain it to our superiors later."
"I'm so sorry."
"It's alright, we can just return the gifts she brought over later."
"That's all we can do."
“If you and your in-laws don’t intend to get involved, or if the other party keeps begging you to let go, you might as well move to Beijing first.”
“I’m fine, but the child is so young. Besides, we can’t go abroad. No matter how far we hide, they will definitely find us.”
Since that's the case, there's no need to hide. Instead, let's wait until the child is a little older and then have the mother and child go back to Beijing for a while!
"If there are any problems or issues that can't be resolved, you can contact us."
"Okay. Actually, our family doesn't need to avoid them. At worst, we can just cut off all contact. We've already cut off most of our ties over the years."
Who would have thought that one day they would be begging for help?
"Life is unpredictable!"
"But life is unpredictable!"
It seems the other party is really in big trouble, they've come to me for help.
However, only her aunt came today; her uncle has probably been detained.
At least you can't just go around randomly, otherwise why wouldn't you take advantage of such a good opportunity?
Even though the old man has been retired for so many years and doesn't care much, he can still make a phone call to ask.
Don't underestimate this phone call; sometimes it can make them re-examine the matter or reconsider it.
But since you didn't intend to get involved from the beginning, then don't get involved. After all, the other party's problem is a matter of perspective.
This is no small matter; it's best to leave it alone. Don't you know it's time for a reshuffling of the game?
It's hard to say whether we can even protect our own family members, let alone have the time to worry about others!
Fortunately, the old man spoke up and pushed all the blame onto him; otherwise, he really wouldn't know how to shift the blame, since it was something that would offend people.
"Regarding the matter of Junde's wife's family, did everything go smoothly today?"
"Dad, no, we've kept evidence of everything, whether it was at the banquet or the gift she just brought, and had it returned."
