Chapter 47: Worship
Solved the most fundamental conflict of interest, let us and the Xie family relationship ease slightly, of course, that does not mean that our relationship with the Xie family will be eased, in fact, Xie Tianci still treats us as an uninvited guest who robbed his property and ruined his life, and Xie Erdon's stepmother simply became angry because of the years of lies being exposed, jumped out and announced that we were not welcome guests of the Xie family, and now we have eaten and taken it, and also made the Xie family lose face, if there is nothing else, get out of here.
I originally thought that in the face of the indifference and exclusion of his relatives, Sherdon, the kid, would be sad and low, angry and disappointed, but it turned out that this freak with poor emotional intelligence did not have these troubles at all, and he had always resisted the father who had never shown up in his life from beginning to end, although he was accused of being a "wild seed" Shi is very angry, but that is for himself, not for someone to be a son, the reason for coming here, one is because he was forced by his own mother, and the other is to come here to ask for research funds to buy equipment, and now that he has come here, the equipment has also arrived, in Xie Erdon's own words, he really can't think of a reason to continue to stay here, and it is the right thing to hurry back to do his own research......
Up to now, I can't tell which of these two brothers is more indifferent and ruthless, one brother who has never met for his own interests, splashing dirty underwater black hands to do everything, and the other doesn't take these family conflicts and grievances that can't be cleaned up as their own business, and they don't care about their ancestors as much as I have to do with the gossip party, which has nothing to do with it.
Before leaving, despite Xie Erdon's strong opposition, I insisted on paying homage to Ya's father, and although Xie Tianci felt that it was a pointless waste of time for us to go to worship like his wonderful brother, he still reluctantly took us to the mourning hall.
Like most traditional families in the south, the Xie family's mourning hall is dedicated to the ancestors of the family, with high shrines lined up to the roof, and recently deceased relatives placed in the center of the lower row.
The reason why I insist on coming here is naturally for the sake of this kid, in addition to completing the task of letting Xie Erdong worship his father as instructed by Aunt Xu, it is also to help this kid see his father for the last time, no matter how indifferent and impatient this freak says, Ya has always been entangled in the fact that he is a child without a father......
Although he was reluctant, Xie Erdong still shrank his head in front of the spiritual position like a rat and bowed, and then he couldn't wait to urge me to leave quickly, Xie Tianci looked at it in his eyes, frowned and asked, "Don't you kowtow......?"
"That's just a sign!" Xie Erdong shouted nervously: "I haven't seen him, and he hasn't fulfilled his father's obligations, even if I have half of his genetic lineage, I am not obligated to do anything for him! The so-called worship of the dead is just a psychological compensatory effect of the living, I have never even seen his appearance, and it makes me kowtow to a piece of wood with a name written on it, which has no meaning at all from a psychological point of view!"
Xie Tianci was speechless for a while, and he couldn't think of any reason to refute his seemingly righteous brother, but Rong'er quietly wiped the corners of his eyes, leaned into my ear and sighed softly: "I can't imagine that he is so pitiful in his heart......"
I was silent, but I also saw the sadness and resentment hidden under Sheldon's hysteria, no matter how much money his father left him, whether he thought about the mother and son who were abandoned by him for twenty years before his death, he was still a cowardly and irresponsible father after all, and he never had the courage to see the mother and son who were hurt by him when he was alive, no wonder Sheldon had such a big opinion about his father.
The worship was unhappily dispersed, and we naturally had no interest in continuing to stay here, so we went back to the room to pack our luggage, and when we returned to the suite, we saw Li Nan, the kid, waiting for us in the living room.
"What's going on? What's going on outside? Why is even the National Security Bureau here?" As soon as he came back, Li Nan couldn't wait to know what happened last night.
Xie Erdong didn't say a word and ran to the meeting room, so I had to smile, patted Li Nan on the shoulder and said: "Don't inquire about what happened, of course it is not easy for the National Security Bureau to intervene in the matter, you just need to know that the Xie family has recognized the identity of Xie Erdong's son, and the money we want is also in hand." ”
"Oh...... Huh?" Li Nan's eyes widened like bull's eyes: "They admitted it?
"Don't ask. I mysteriously said, "Knowing how we did it, you're going to have to be under patriotic scrutiny here." ”
Li Nan was stunned, quickly shut up, thought about it and couldn't help but ask excitedly: "Then your inheritance is in hand, and I have completed the commission......, right?"
"Well, I was about to tell you, we didn't get money, we got the goods, so ...... We don't know how much the old man promised you in return, but if it's too much, we won't be able to get it for a while...... You're not going to sue us for unpaid wages?"
“…… Of course not," Li Nan was a little disappointed when he heard that we didn't get the money and couldn't get the money ourselves, and couldn't change from Zhang Yida to He Yichen, but he still cheered up and asked us: "Then do you have a channel for the goods you have settled......?"
"Don't think about it," I replied honestly, "the shipment...... How can I say it, it is very appetizing for the people there, Xie Erdong and Shi Tieling - yes, it is the old man, who came by himself yesterday, and their eyes straightened after reading the list, saying that such a good thing must be digested by the people in our community themselves, and they will not take it out and sell it for money when they die......"
Li Nan was about to cry: "That's a billion! A billion yuan of cargo is estimated to fit an entire freighter, right? How many people in your community can digest so many things internally?"
"Okay, okay, don't ask what you shouldn't ask," Wang Xiaohan, who planned to follow us to the institute immediately to see it, didn't want to delay any longer, and impatiently threw a phone call to Li Nan and said: "I'm out of the commission for this lawsuit, go directly to my secretary to report!"
