Chapter 377: Sisters
At around ten o'clock on Sunday morning, Jia Youwei stood in the front yard of his house while teasing the fat man and thinking about a lot of questions in his head.
In his position, strategy and employing people have become crucial. As for the specific things, you don't need to do it yourself.
Jia Lingling walked out of the main house and came directly to his side before he stopped, without any sadness: "Just now, the Lin family called and said that their old lady died. ”
"Mrs. Lin and Grandma are sisters. Naturally, our side is going to go to people. Jia Youwei motioned for the fat man to sit down with his right hand, and said without hurrying or slow.
"Is this necessary? Today's Lin family can be said to be in decline, and it has been going downhill, and it can't be stopped.
I suggest that we send someone to send some wreaths over to show one of the intentions of our Jia family. The other families are related to the Lin family, and I'm afraid that nine times out of ten they will do the same as I said. ”
Jia Lingling also knew that Jia Youwei's grandmother and Mrs. Lin were indeed sisters, but the relationship between the two of them was not good.
I heard my adoptive mother say that the Shi family and the Lin family both sent people to the Wang family to ask for relatives. Naturally, two women from the Wang family had to be selected to marry.
In the past era, although men and women could have free love, the mainstream was still the order of parents and the words of matchmaking. The final decision of the Wang family, the elder sister married to the Shi family, and the younger sister had to go to the Lin family.
On the surface, it was a normal thing, but in fact, the Shi family and the Lin family at that time were not about the same, and there was already a big difference.
It's just that the latter is not as good as the grasshopper after autumn like today, and it is not as good as day by day. For this reason, of course, my sister resented, not only felt that her parents were partial, but also that her sister had robbed her of the wealth and happiness that should have belonged to her.
In addition, the Lin family gradually declined in the future, and the Shi family rose step by step, causing the younger sister to become more and more resentful of her parents and sister.
The death of their parents, the death of their sister, and the fact that their sister did not come forward to attend the funeral, shows how deep the resentment in their hearts is for them?
Both sisters also gave birth to a son and a daughter, but they are very different. My sister's son is still the king of the world, and although her daughter died young, she married the original head of the family, who is ranked No.1 among the richest families in the world.
What about the younger sister? The marriage is not good, and the husband's family is declining day by day, which leads to the fact that the status of the individual in the mother's family is not at all like the elder sister, but it is declining.
Even if her children wanted to marry with the Jia family, the Shi family, the Wang family, the Xue family and other big families, they were directly refused.
As for the high-sounding reason, it is nothing more than that free love is now popular, and arranged marriages can no longer be arranged as in the past. In the end, her son and daughter were nothing more than marrying, marrying the daughters and sons of some small families in the upper part of the region.
Even if she dies now, she can't enter the ancestral grave of the Wang family. Before that, she felt that she was afraid that her time was short, and before she fell, she took care of her personal affairs.
She personally went back to her mother's house in Jiangdu, and instead of being received by the head of the family, she only sent a young man in his twenties who belonged to her great-grandchildren, that is, the next three generations, to meet her.
This person is the boy from the Wang family who came to the hotel to greet Jia Youwei and Jia Lingling in a panic. It can be seen that the Wang family no longer recognizes her as a daughter, and she is completely regarded as water spilled.
This is not Jia Youwei's grandmother at all, her sister's treatment, not only can be buried in her mother's ancestral grave, but also can fulfill her wish and be buried next to her grandmother.
Attending the funeral, burial and a series of others, the patriarchs of the four major families, as well as the related bigwigs of each family, all appeared in person. I really couldn't come, so I also sent the number two person in the family.
Jia Lingling does not have too many feelings about the grievances and grievances of the last two generations. She just felt that the time gap between her and their generation was a bit big. The main thing is that the two families have not interacted for many years.
There is no one in their generation and the Lin family, but one family is in full swing, and the other is declining, and the distance is originally large, so it is even bigger now.
Jia Youwei knows that she is not a snob, but the most normal way to deal with it. Even if it's snobbish, it doesn't matter, after all, that's how everyone plays.
He was silent for a moment, and said calmly: "Since you don't want to go on this trip, then I'll go myself!"
"Didn't you wake up? You went to the funeral in person, that didn't make the Lin family lose their life. Even if I go, it will give the Lin family a big face.
The current Lin family has almost no right to speak in the local area. Mrs. Lin's son is the deputy mayor of a prefecture-level city, and he is not even a member of the Standing Committee.
He is still the most competitive one in the Lin family. As for Mrs. Lin's daughter, she has been making a small amount of business, and she has to rely on the company we set up over there to make a living.
The rest of the Lin family has long been reduced to commoners. Our Jia family sent wreaths to Mrs. Lin, and that was also for the sake of your grandmother and her sisters. Jia Lingling said politely.
Jia Youwei knew that she was reasonable, but it was difficult to give up her family affection. He was full of memories of the past and said: "When Mrs. Lin was young, she also bought me sugar gourds to eat. ”
"A sugar gourd makes you remember someone else's good for a lifetime? Don't forget, when your grandmother died, she didn't even come. Jia Lingling retorted.
"There are things that cannot be forgotten, or there are things that cannot be forgotten. Mrs. is virtuous to the son, the son must not forget; the son is virtuous to others, may the son forget. Jia Youwei quoted a passage from "Historical Records of Wei Gongzi" to explain.
"I can't tell you. If you really want to send someone, then I'll do it for you. Although Jia Lingling said that she was reluctant, she was reluctant to say for him.
"That's hard work Sister Ling. Jia Youwei imitated the ancients' bow, and he made a way towards her.
Jia Lingling learned the feudal woman's bending knees according to the gourd painting, and said with a smile: "It's not hard." It's all forced by you. ”
"Since your negative emotions are so big, then I'd better go myself!" Jia Youwei said with a smile.
"Brother, my own brother, don't make any more trouble. If you leave the capital in person to go to mourn, the movement will be too big.
This will not only alarm the relevant families and send ultra-high-level people to go on a journey, but also alarm all kinds of local people and officials. Jia Lingling tried her best to stop her.
