Fall in love with your enemy

Continuing from the last time, regarding the issue of being in charge of the business, I made it clear that I will not do it again, and it will be terminated tonight.

The person who had just benefited was immediately dumbfounded. He thought he could not drag me to death, so I generously dispersed the money, but they also accepted it as soon as it was good. Who knows, I just had some hope for the future, and I turned around and quit. .

Where can I get this benefit?

"W-why is this?" The old man looked at me dumbfounded and stuttered for a long time before uttering a sentence.

"How can that be done!" Yun Yan stood up and stared in disbelief: "Auntie, this is what you deserve, and it is also your last chance!"

"You sit down first, I have my own arrangements." I waved my hand.

"But if you don't take this position, who will?" Several cousins ​​gathered together and were confused, their mouths twitching: "Miss Xishi, if you don't sit in this seat, then you will spend the whole night here What are you doing?"

"I said that I am here to solve the problem. But everyone has seen the scene just now and knows it by heart. Everyone must first recognize my status before they are willing to listen to a word from me, right?"

I covered the corner of my mouth and coughed. The medicine Xiangyang gave me was quite potent. I was holding back my blood and my blood was surging. I was feeling dizzy. I could only pinch myself behind my back to calm down for a while. Only then did the child raise his head and look at the crowd.

"What happened today is just a wake-up call. I don't really intend to do anything. No matter how much trouble our Fu family makes, we have never made trouble out of this family. After all, we are still a family. Let's save each other's face. I forced out a stiff smile: "As for the position of head of the house, apart from me, my father naturally has other heirs."

"Could it be that you are talking about Young Master Shu Yu?" The third cousin's facial features wrinkled up. Seeing that I had no objection, he immediately twisted his head and shook his head: "No, this is impossible. Not to mention his age, he is too old." Too young! If his background is revealed again, wouldn’t it be a disgrace to our Fu family..."

Before he could finish his words, his aunt pinched him hard, but my aunt reacted quickly and was not much smarter than my cousin. She looked at me with gritted teeth and raised her eyes towards my second uncle's face. The cousin realized that he almost fell to the ground.

I shook my head secretly and said, I remember that this cousin helped me. He is also honest and honest, but he is too naive many times. Although his character is not bad, his brain is limited and he will not be able to achieve great things, or even never. From the moment the second grandma and the third grandma stared at him, I was afraid that he would no longer be a human being soon.

"Chengcheng's biological mother is in prison. This is something that cannot be refuted, but Chengcheng is innocent. He has always given his best to the Fu family." I helped as much as I could and quickly changed the subject. road.

The expressions of the second uncle and the younger uncle softened a bit. Naturally, the second grandma and the third grandma did not want to mention the fact that they were concubines. It would be best to turn the page. The cousin breathed a sigh of relief when he saw this. Then He looked at me and wanted to thank me so much.

"There have been disputes about the choice of head of the family before. Chengcheng and I are both in the options of heirs. After all, the property of the eldest son belongs to my father. No matter what problems are in his marriage, since he feels that Chengcheng has competition. Chengcheng has the qualifications. In the same way, since I have become the head of the family and taken over this property, I naturally have the qualifications to abdicate." I said calmly.

I laughed at myself for being cowardly, but in the end there was nothing I could do about it. I looked at the huge pile of responsibilities under the stage, and in my mind I also pictured the sight of a bloody man lying on the operating table. The heavy pressure forced me to say He is innocent.

Fortunately, Chengcheng is my last line, and this kind of thing will never happen again.

I breathed a sigh of relief and continued: "When I chose the heir before, the eldest brother was also divided into two factions. There will never be a perfect person in the world. The same is true for me and Chengcheng. What everyone said about me is just that my health has not been good. , I'm afraid that if I pass away suddenly not long ago, there will be chaos in the family again, and I haven't had much contact with business. It is said that Chengcheng is from a bad background. With a mother like that and relatives like the Lu family, there will be endless troubles in the future. I Needless to say, there is no need to talk about the problem. As for Chengcheng, I have also thought of a solution."

"Master Shu Yu's ability in business is outstanding. The head of the family once said that the problem of relatives is not the most important. If it can be solved, then Master Shu Yu is indeed the most suitable candidate. We must also thank Xixi It's so generous of Miss Shi to give in." The old man agreed with a change of heart.

I smiled wryly and nodded, beckoning Feng Shizhi to come out with Lawyer Guo.

"I don't care what Mrs. Lu did in the past. People have two parents. If one of the parents does something, the child should die. Chengcheng has a father, which proves his legitimacy. Chengcheng is in the family tree. I am a descendant of the Fu family. As for Mrs. Lu’s mistakes, that is her fault alone.” I took a sip of tea, and then Lawyer Guo stepped forward.

"According to Miss Xishi, Mrs. Lu's crimes mainly include five economic crimes. They were all accomplices and voluntarily surrendered. After the reduced sentence, she will be sentenced to about five years. The most important thing is her excessive treatment of Mrs. Zheng. We will submit the evidence to the court for an attempted intentional homicide. If nothing else happens, the sentence will be more than ten years, so it will be at least fifteen years before Mrs. Lu is released from prison. As for the other Lu family members, as the perpetrators of many economic crimes The mastermind is sentenced to at least seven years in prison, and after investigation, it is found that for Master Shuyu, the Lu family no longer has any direct relatives of him, and he has no legal support responsibility for the Lu family."

After I was ready, I straightened my body and said, "Lu Yinyin killed my mother, soured the relationship between my parents, and caused the deaths of five of my brothers and sisters. She has received the retribution she deserves. I immediately declare to the whole family that, Lu Yinyin's name will be removed from the family tree and she will not be buried in the Fu family's ancestral grave after her death. After she is released from prison, the Fu family will have no responsibility to take care of her. If Chengcheng is willing to voluntarily show filial piety, it has nothing to do with me, but from now on, we will have nothing to do with it. Sibling relationship.”

After I said that, everyone in the family looked at each other, but they couldn't express any opinions.

I don’t think I’ve gone too far, and I’m not sure Chengcheng will agree, but if I regress, then I’ll be a son of man in vain.

No matter what Zheng Lin pretends to do to me, no matter how much I hate that she is my mother, I am the only one in this world who has the right to hate her. She cannot be a parent, but I want to be a child.

"I have asked someone to liquidate the inheritance and wait for it to be divided after my father's funeral. Chengcheng will be the head of the house."

I glanced at the corner and saw Shao Qin's figure flickering behind the curtain. I wiped away my tears after a while. I knew that he was more sad than me about the death of the old man. After all, he was brought up by the old man. He is also much younger than Lao Fu, so it is reasonable to say that he is Lao Fu's adopted son. If I don't find something for him to do, he will be really depressed if I don't find something for him to do.

"Uncle Shao, Uncle Ji."

After I called out, before Shao Qin could react, it was Ji Bin who pushed him out. He stood dazedly in the middle of the hall, looking up at me and staring straight at me, but his face was still full of exhaustion.

"What's wrong?" Shao Qin rubbed his eyes.

I sighed: "Uncle Shao, let's rest for a few days after the funeral. It's good to go out and relax."

Shao Qin touched his eyes that were swollen from crying. As if he was afraid that I wouldn't let him go, he straightened his body bravely: "I'm fine. If you have anything, just say it."

"I want to ask Uncle Shao to help me take care of Chengcheng in the future. He is new to the position and there are many things at home or in business that are unclear. Uncle Shao will take him to get familiar with each other so that he can get through the process as soon as possible."

"Oh, you can just arrange these things. I can do whatever you decide." Shao Qin nodded, then went back and continued to cry.

Ji Bin glanced at me a few more times, both of us felt embarrassed. I was thankful that he didn't harm Chengcheng, and I didn't expect him to be nice to Chengcheng. Of course, his hatred was justified.

I thought about it and said, "Uncle Ji, just follow me."

Ji Bin didn't say anything, like a machine that only accepted instructions, and then retreated after listening.

I thought my task was completed, but I couldn't think of anything else after racking my brains. Yun Yan's crying at the right time reminded me. She stood up leaning on the table and walked tremblingly to the middle, her eyes full of disappointment. Looked at me: "Aunt, uncle Shuyu has become the head of the family, what about you?"

"I?"

"What will you do in the future? You have made all preparations for him. Have you thought about yourself and where to go?" Yun Yan said every word like tears.

I could only smile bitterly at this: "Even if I don't become the head of the family, I'm still the young lady of the Fu family."

I know that this reason is cruel to Yun Yan and myself. As for Yu Yunyan, I can't help her working so hard for me this year, even at the expense of breaking up with everyone, but for me, I am Sooner or later, the eldest brother will lose power. After all, Chengcheng is the leader. If I keep forcibly ensuring that my status is higher than his or even just equal, it may lead to sibling rivalry in the future and destroy the balance. By then, the gains will outweigh the losses.

But if I don’t stay in the long house, what will happen? I'm confused and can't see the future clearly.

Gradually, my eyes unconsciously glanced at my uncle. When he saw that I agreed with his idea, my uncle felt a little relieved and his brows relaxed. However, if he accepted me, it would not be the best choice. He stared at my second uncle. For a long time, I didn't know how to speak. I squeezed the armrest of the Taishi's chair with my fingers, and my fingertips turned green and white. I finally had to sigh as if I had resigned myself to my fate.

But before he could get up, his second uncle was already one step ahead of him. The "thunk" sound of the teacup falling on the table attracted everyone's attention. The second uncle paused, then stood up with a cane: "When eldest brother was alive, before me or Ming Yan has the kindness to raise him. Now that he has suffered an accident and lost his life, I have the obligation to take care of his children for him. Since Chengcheng has decided to be the head of the eldest family, the eldest son should also have heirs. Inherited, I won’t say anything else. The child that Miss Cheng gave birth to was also destined for Chengcheng to be raised by my eldest brother, but Shishi had no home to go to. I had mentioned it to my eldest brother many times earlier that Shishi would be adopted by me. At the time, I thought it was a joke. , but now, boys are not afraid of losing their parents and siblings in Shishi, but girls will get married in the future, not to mention that Shishi is marrying into a high family, and if she has no background, she will be bullied by her husband's family, so from today on, I will adopt Shishi, Take care of her like my own daughter until she gets married."

"Mingtang! What nonsense are you talking about!" As expected, the second grandma was anxious on the spot, but she still kept her face and kept her voice down. She looked at the second uncle in disbelief: "You want to take care of Shi Yatou and be the second uncle?" It's natural, but there is no need to talk about adoption. It's not that the boss didn't give Shi Yatou a home, it's Shi Yatou who doesn't want it. It's not your fault to take his daughter away. If the boss finds out, what will he think? ?”

The second uncle didn't seem to be impulsive. He coughed and looked up more firmly: "My eldest brother announced in front of the whole family before his death that he was not as careful as me in many things and made many omissions. He asked me to remind and help him at any time. He corrected himself. Now, it is time for me to correct him. The boss died in vain accidentally. He may not have thought clearly about the inheritance, otherwise he would not have left Shi Shi with such a disastrous and embarrassing situation. If Shi Shi did not become the head of the house, then she It is basically impossible to gain a foothold in the long house. In this case, how can I let it go?"

"Even if you feel sorry for me, little girl, such a big thing as adoption cannot be decided in a flash. Do you have to take the responsibility, or should you think more about it..." The third grandma saw that the second grandma had to bear the burden. His anger was gone, and he couldn't hold it back anymore. He quickly tried to dissuade her, but in an instant he caught his uncle's eyes.

The uncle also stood up: "This is something I have discussed with my second brother. I think if it is inconvenient for my second brother, even if I adopt Shi Shi, in the future when I am old, it will not count as my eldest daughter becoming the head of the third house. deficit."

"You're talking nonsense!" The third grandma took a breath and almost fell down when she raised her head. Fortunately, Aunt Zhou's eyesight quickly helped her to stabilize a little. The third grandma didn't care about so many face-related matters and pinched her philtrum finger. The nose scolded: "You have so many children yourself! Not as good as a niece! You adopted me... I gave birth to you later, so you are sixteen years older than her! How can you be her father! If you tell me, you are not afraid of being laughed at. !”

"I'm still afraid of jokes? I think this is the biggest joke in the world!" The uncle gritted his teeth and said fiercely, his eyes suddenly became like sharp knives. He would not leave any room for the third grandma.

I didn't want the balance that my uncle and my third grandma had maintained for many years to be broken by me. No matter how much resentment the mother and son had, it would ultimately affect the stable life of the entire third family, and it was not a trivial matter, so I quickly went up to hold my uncle.

My brother-in-law calmed down a bit after seeing me. He neither looked at the third grandma nor the second uncle, and muttered to the ground: "I was raised by my eldest brother."

Although the sound was small, in this quiet house that had been shaken by the surprise attack, you could hear it even if a pin dropped on the ground.

"I don't think it's right either. I'm the most suitable. Don't get angry, Sanniang." The second uncle said and patted the younger uncle on the shoulder.

The second mistress was so sad that she beat her legs and said angrily: "Why aren't you afraid that your mother will get angry?"

"I have made up my mind, Mom, there is no need to persuade me. The reason why I am where I am today is all because of my brother's blood and sweat. Not even talking about my career, my life was snatched out of the sea of ​​fire by my brother." 2 The uncle was startled, as if something suddenly occurred to him, and he suddenly felt sad. He looked at the Second Mistress with downcast eyes, and held my hand tightly: "Mom, you don't want your son to be a white-eyed wolf for the rest of his life..."

After the second uncle said this, the second grandma really didn't say anything. She probably didn't hate Lao Fu so much. She didn't care about what happened in the sea of ​​​​fire many years ago, but I was always uneasy in my heart.

"Second uncle, I..."

"It's okay Shishi, my second uncle is there for everything." I was about to say something, but my second uncle stopped me with a loving smile, squeezed my palm and asked: "Shishi, you don't need to worry about so much, just say, I wish I don’t want to be my second uncle’s daughter.”

I looked at my second uncle, still unable to confirm or deny that I wanted to make plans for the future of my eldest son, but I knew as clearly as a mirror that if I took this step, I would risk half of my sacrifice.

But what can I do?

I still didn't explain, but my body was honest, and I knelt down holding my second uncle's arm.

The second uncle didn’t let me kowtow. He pulled me up, took a deep breath, and then pulled me to stand in the position that belonged to the second room: “From today on, she will always be my biological daughter, the rightful young lady of the second room. Waiting for the funeral. After that, we discussed the division of the eldest house and the adoption ceremony together."
