Rebirth: 1977

Grandma Ding looked sadly at her eldest son, whom she had longed for only to be able to see.

Saying so many words in one breath made her breath unsteady and her chest became severely clogged.

She missed her two sons and wanted to know whether they were living safely somewhere in the world.

In the past, this topic was something that the couple often talked about behind their backs.

Later, when the old man left, he wanted to know the whereabouts of his son and wanted to see his son again. This was the driving force that supported Grandma Ding to survive in the hardships.

Now that she has seen her and her wish has come true, why is there no longer the family affection and happiness she longed for?

After not seeing each other for decades, there was an invisible gap between mother and son.

The world has changed, and so has her son. Grandma Ding does not blame her son for his change. It is the different environments in which they live that have changed them.

Likewise, I am afraid that in the eyes of my sons, I have also become completely different.

Sons cannot truly empathize and understand what kind of suffering their parents have experienced.

Grandma Ding has had a vague feeling about the two sons' different degrees of closeness to her since they met.

The old saying 'You see old age at the age of three' is true at all.

The eldest son's shrewdness was revealed at a young age. Relatively speaking, the younger son has a mellow and honest nature.

Grandma Ding's mood is complicated.

Precisely because of the eldest son's shrewdness and ability, he still led his younger brother to create a world after encountering major changes in his life.

Their current wealthy life was all achieved by themselves!

This is where Grandma Ding feels lucky.

She suppressed the myriad emotions in her heart and persuaded herself not to ask her sons according to her ideas.

It's not easy for them to get to where they are now, how can I understand the difficulties of my sons?

Ding Dafu was also stunned by his mother's words. He didn't know how to persuade his mother to accept his suggestion.

That old house is not only the root of their Ding family!

Ding Dafu's heart seemed to bleed when he thought that everything was now in the hands of outsiders.

"Mom, please don't be angry. I know that we owe Xiao Shui a huge favor. My brother and I, as well as the children and grandchildren of our Ding family, are all grateful to him.

No matter how great this kindness is, we are willing to repay it!

But Mom, kindness is one thing, but buying back our Ding family’s old house is another.

It’s equally important, Mom, do you understand?

No matter how much it costs, we are willing to agree. Mother, I just hope you can tell Xiao Shui. I will communicate with Xiao Shui about the following matters.

Are you okay, Mom? "

Ding Dafu begged his mother.

There, the wealth passed down from generation to generation of their Ding family is hidden!

I remember when he took his younger brother to study abroad. Before leaving, his father told him this secret.

The ancestors of the Ding family have always had a sense of crisis.

The wealth on the surface cannot be hidden, but they will exchange half of the money they earn every year into gold, antique calligraphy and painting, and store it.

By his father Ding Bancheng's generation, it had been passed down to the third generation.

This kind of crisis awareness is the lesson learned from the dynasty changes and various wars that our ancestors have experienced for generations.

There is an ancestral motto of the Ding family that this secret is passed down from son to daughter, not from daughter-in-law.

The long pass is not passed twice.

The formation of this ancestral precept must, first of all, favor sons over daughters, and secondly, the purpose is to ensure the continuous prosperity of the family.

Therefore, Ding Dafu is still not sure whether his mother-in-law knows this secret?

Mom definitely didn't know when he left home.

But then the parents endured the loss of contact with their sons and faced the pain and suffering together day and night.

He didn't know if his father told his mother this secret?

Similarly, his father also prepared generous rates for him when he went out.

Abroad, a huge amount of wealth was saved for their brothers, and also for the descendants of the Ding family.

This is why he can take his younger brother to complete his studies and gain a foothold in society.

Grandma Ding knew why her son was so stubborn about buying back his old house, she knew it!

When the old man felt that a disaster was imminent, he told her the secret of the old house!

When she learned this secret, Grandma Ding felt no joy at all. She just felt a big stone weighing on her heart.

At that time, they had lost the opportunity to actively hand over their wealth in exchange for freedom in life.

In fact, they have never been given a chance to use their wealth in exchange for a peaceful life.

When Grandma Ding found out about it, people with their status were in a panic. But if the outside world knew this secret, what awaited the couple would definitely be: extra punishment!

She didn't expect that the old house would be back in her hands. For Grandma Ding, it was a hot potato.

She would rather the government gave her a small house to live in. At that time, even if she knew that she was lying on a mountain of gold and silver every day, she still lived without enough to eat.

Even if she died of starvation or illness, she still didn't dare to reveal even a little bit of information.

That house also caused trouble for her.

The scoundrel of the Qin family, if it weren't for Xiao Shui, she would have left this world long ago.

The eldest son knew the secret, the old man told her.

But she didn't want to reveal this secret to her son. When she came to Hong Kong Island this time, Grandma Ding tried her best to avoid the topic and pretended to be deaf and dumb.

Who knows, the eldest son's attitude is that he is determined to win, and he wants to buy back the old house.

He doesn’t know anything about the situation in the country!

Even if Xiao Shui is willing to transfer the house to their Ding family, it is impossible to take away those things!

If the government finds out, it will confiscate it without mercy. No one knows what kind of charges are waiting for her and the Ding family.

"Dafu, your mother really can't say this. If you insist on buying it back, just go and negotiate with Xiao Shui yourself.

Mom really doesn’t have the face to mention it.

Xiaoshui, if he is willing to agree, if I speak and you speak, the result will be the same. "

Grandma Ding finally decided not to let her son know that she also knew the secrets hidden under the old house.

The old man who told himself is no longer here, and he will die without proof!

Children and grandchildren have their own children and grandchildren!

She doesn't have much time left. Since there is no suitable reason to stop her son, let him talk to Xiao Shui by himself.

Ding Dafu repeatedly wanted to ask his mother if she knew the secret?

The words came to his lips but he swallowed them back.

If his father didn't tell his mother until his death, then...

"Mom, brother, I went there by chance today and bought a turtle."

Ding Dakun carried a turtle in his hand and went home happily.

Both mother and son secretly breathed a sigh of relief at the same time.
