Chapter 150 The Smart Old Patriarch
"Grandpa needs to rest to recover from his illness. Dad and mom will take care of you."
"Big brother, don't blame parents for being partial. Your second brother has had poor health since he was young, and we spoiled him. Yuan'er, grandpa is not confused. After all, he is your second uncle. As his nephew, you should forgive him this time. Let him go back to his hometown to reflect after the relationship is severed."
Grandpa Xia Yunyuan's hometown is in southern Xinjiang. There are farmlands there, which have always been looked after by the old housekeeper.
Moreover, their family also has businesses in southern Xinjiang, which Xia Yunyuan didn’t even know about.
Xia Yunyuan doesn't care what the Xia family has now. As long as he can break off the relationship, he is willing to leave the house with nothing.
"But my money is gone too. Captain, can you help me find out where my money went?"
His second uncle wanted to die when he saw that the money he had worked so hard to get was gone. But he couldn't say how much he had. Otherwise, he couldn't explain it.
"How much silver did you lose? How did you earn the silver? You must report all of this to us, and only then can we find out where the silver went for you." The captain said seriously.
"This...?" His uncle stuttered. Then his eyes rolled.
"I was framed and I want to report this to the police."
So much of his money was stolen, and the old man's box was still in his secret compartment. It must be said that someone framed him.
"Okay, then you can come back to the government office with us."
"Why am I the only one going to the yamen? I'm the victim." His second uncle was confused.
"The stolen goods were found in your room, so of course you are a suspect. You also said that your silver was lost. When we investigate the case, we must take you, the suspect, away first, and then investigate the matter of your lost silver."
"Then I won't report it. I'll investigate it myself." His second uncle curled up on the ground, not having any energy at all.
He didn't want to go to the government, fearing that his gambling house would be investigated, and that Xia Yunyuan would know about the third brother's affairs. Then he would be even more speechless.
"Captain, this is a family matter. My second uncle is not in a good mind, so I'm sorry to bother you to make this trip. I hope you can forgive me! Butler, give you some money for tea and water."
"What do you want? If Master Xia wasn't here, do you think we would mind your family's mess?"
When the captain of the police saw Xia Yunyuan speaking, several of them took the change and walked out the door.
The goal was achieved, and he went back to report to Situ Jin.
"Housekeeper, go call the third boy's family over here. I have something to say." The old man had just taken antibiotics and drank some spiritual spring water. He was in high spirits.
The most difficult one is the housekeeper. He doesn't know who to rely on.
He originally wanted to rely on the Second Master, but now that the Second Master was in trouble, he could no longer rely on him. The First Master ignored him. Xia Yunyuan also gave up the position of the head of the family.
The Third Master is also a gambler, and he is confused about who is the head of the family.
Xia Yunyuan's third uncle was a talented man before he got married.
Later, his second uncle was afraid that his third uncle would seize the position of head of the family, so he tricked his grandfather into finding a wife for his third uncle, who was the daughter of a casino owner.
At that time, he hired someone to set up a trap to separate the casino owner from his wife and children.
Then he married his daughter to his third brother.
This woman has been hanging around in casinos since she was a child.
So I am no stranger to gambling.
After marrying his uncle, she saw that he was smart and quick-witted, so she taught him the art of gambling little by little, dreaming of winning the casino back to her father.
At first, his third uncle did not agree, but later his second uncle also said, you are smart, since she has married you, she only has this one daughter, the casino will be yours in the future.
And soon, his third aunt was pregnant. His third uncle was a responsible man. So for the sake of his child, he embarked on the road of gambling.
I did make a lot of money at the beginning, and I also bought a house and a shop in Kyoto.
His father praised him for his business acumen. His second uncle praised him for his quick mind. His wife admired his luck. Later, he not only lost the house and the shop, but also lost all the money given by the old man.
The wife took the children and married someone else. He himself was also in a state of depression.
The old man thought that his son was just unlucky. So when Xia Yunyuan became the head of the family, his grandfather chose to be with his third son. Every parent is the same, when the child is most helpless, they will stand on that side.
"Third brother, it was Dad who proposed to break up the relationship. Whether you agree or not, Dad will treat you equally. Your second brother has behaved immorally, so let him go to southern Xinjiang to manage the family business. The shop and land in the capital will be taken back. I don't know how much silver is, just consider it as the cost of his trip to southern Xinjiang."
"Third brother, you haven't managed the family business in these years. From now on, you should learn from Yuan'er. If Yuan'er doesn't hold a grudge, you will have food to eat in the future. I have some silver that I have saved over the years. It will be used as our retirement capital. We will give it to whoever supports us in the future."
"Yuan'er, don't refuse the position of the head of the family. If you really want to refuse, wait until your third uncle grows up, and then give it to him. This is also grandpa's wish. The eldest brother's family is good, it's the second brother's virtue that is not worthy of the position. You have been wronged all these years."
"As for your mother and I, we are still healthy and will live alone. We won't trouble you. Yuan'er, ask the yamen lawyer to come to our house tomorrow to break off the engagement. The second son will leave for southern Xinjiang the day after tomorrow. I will write a letter to the old housekeeper tonight. Ask him to hand over the matters over there to you and come to Beijing to accompany me as soon as possible."
"Second brother, that property was built by me when I was young. If you can't even keep it, then we are really not destined to be together. I have loved you in vain. Our Xia family has worked hard for several generations, and I don't want it to be ruined by your generation. Take care of yourself."
Charlotte listened to the old man's words and realized that she was right. This old man was smarter than anyone else.
He knew all the three sons were like, but he never said anything. He just watched them act like monkeys.
If he hadn't fallen ill this time, he would still be watching the show there.
When Charlotte saw that their family dispute was over, she had no time to waste time here.
"Old man, your tuberculosis has been temporarily relieved. The bacteria have also been controlled. But you still need to take some pills to regulate your body. Since Brother Xia and I have business dealings, I will not charge you for injections and medicine. But you have to pay the money for the pills to the medicine hall yourself."
"You are not allowed to take this pill without my advice. You can stop taking it after seven days. Eat more nutritious food after seven days. I have a thousand-year-old Ganoderma lucidum that Brother Xia's future wife asked me to give to you. It is not convenient for her to come to see you and the old lady for the time being, so I hope you can forgive me."
"Yuan'er, have you made up your mind?" Xia Yunyuan's grandmother's eyes were bloodshot, and her turbid eyes brightened.
"Grandpa, grandma, I wanted to bring her here to pay my respects to you when I got back! But my family is in such a mess that I couldn't bring her here. I'll bring her here to see you after things calm down in a few days."
"Tell me, which girl fell in love with a rascal like you?" His grandfather was also happy. After all, he was his eldest grandson. He also hoped that their family would have many children and grandchildren.
"Old man, it's a long story. Once your family's affairs are settled, let Brother Xia talk to you in detail. The master will be here soon. It's hard to explain in just a few words."
Xia Luo was helping Xia Yunyuan to prevaricate, otherwise the matter here would not have been dealt with clearly.
If I told him she was a beauty from the Western Regions, I wonder if the old man would be able to accept it.
