Chapter 36 The Reasons for the Decline of the Liu Family
The Liu family, in Linhai, is not a big family, and it has been declining very much recently, and the old man Liu is very low-key, this time the other country is 100 years old, and there is no fanfare, so today, the Liu family's courtyard is still very deserted.
In the garden, the old man of the Liu family was dressed in a tunic suit, this person looked particularly energetic, his eyes looked at his children and grandchildren one by one, with a kind smile on his face, and after half a ring, he suddenly asked: "Jiayan, haven't you come back yet?" ”
At this time, Liu Zhijun replied: "Dad, I have informed her yesterday, and I think I will be back soon!" ”
Old Man Liu just nodded when he heard this, and then sat down, closed his eyes and recuperated, without saying a word. Old Man Liu didn't speak, and others naturally didn't dare to speak casually, and everyone was preoccupied, and the thoughts of chatting about family life were also light, and for a while, the scene seemed a little cold.
At this moment, there was a sound of footsteps outside, and then the door of the compound was opened, and two people came from outside, the woman was extremely beautiful, and the man was tall and majestic.
These two people are naturally Lin Xing and Liu Jiayan, as soon as they appeared, everyone's eyes in the courtyard fell on them.
Even Old Man Liu opened his eyes, and with clear eyes, he looked at Liu Jiayan and Lin Xing.
"Grandpa!" Liu Jiayan saw Old Man Liu, screamed sweetly, and then said hello to the others, at this time, almost everyone's eyes were focused on Lin Xing, everyone knew that this slightly ordinary-looking, plain man was Liu Jiayan's so-called boyfriend, and they all knew that it was this one, who slapped Yue Feng a few times yesterday, causing the Yue family to withdraw directly and the Liu family to go bankrupt.
Everyone, except for Old Man Liu, looked at Lin Xing, it was full of anger, as the saying goes, cutting off people's wealth is equivalent to killing people, this is not false at all.
"Jiayan is back, come to grandpa's side!" Old Man Liu had a rare kind smile on his face, and he beckoned to Liu Jiayan and motioned for her to come to his side.
"Jiayan, this must be your boyfriend, right?" Old Man Liu looked at Lin Xing and asked directly.
When Liu Jiayan heard this, her face was shy, she hugged Old Man Liu's arm, lowered her head, and looked ashamed, although she didn't speak, she obviously acquiesced.
"Haha, good, good, good!" Old man Liu is old and fine, how can he not see the thoughts of his precious granddaughter, he laughed very heartily.
"Old man Liu, hello!" Lin Xing smiled slightly and said hello to Old Man Liu, but the others were ignored by him. These people, except for Old Man Liu, all have ghosts in their hearts, hoping that Liu Jiayan will marry Yue Feng, so Lin Xing doesn't want to give them face.
"Lin Xing, Jiayan has no parents since she was a child, I hope you will treat her well in the future." Old Man Liu looked at Lin Xing and said very seriously. In fact, in his eyes, Lin Xing's appearance and status are not a problem, and the main Jiayan really likes it.
And when he saw Lin Xing for the first time, the old man felt that he was different, because Lin Xing was very indifferent from beginning to end, even if he faced him, he was the same, calm and waveless, such a person was by no means an ordinary person.
Hearing the old man's words, Liu Zhijun and the others were anxious, he stood up and said, "Dad, what do you mean by this, didn't you agree to the marriage with the Yue family yesterday?" ”
It's the others, and the two daughters of Old Man Liu are also nervous, which is inconsistent with the news they got before!
"Dad, if you don't marry the Yue family, then our Liu family will be completely hopeless!" Liu Zhijun couldn't keep his composure anymore, and the matter of marriage, in his opinion, was imperative.
Old Man Liu's two daughters also stood up and said, "Second brother is right, if you want to save the Liu family, Jiayan must join the Yue family, this is the only way!" ”
For such words, Liu Jiayan has long been numb, there is sadness in her eyes, these people, except for Old Man Liu, in their eyes, she Liu Jiayan is just an item, an item that can save the Liu family.
Old man Liu looked around the audience, and deep disappointment flashed in the depths of his eyes, his descendants, these years, relying on their own hard work, do not seek progress, spend extravagantly, live a drunken life, once they lose themselves, they will become soft eggs that others will rub and abuse at will!
"Today may be my last birthday, I've lived long enough, and now my only wish is to see you in harmony and love each other, which is what I have always longed for." Old Man Liu's voice was a little hoarse, he sat on the chair, and as long as he said a few more words, he would stop and take a few breaths.
"But, I'm very disappointed today, really, I've never been disappointed, even if the Liu family is in decline, I have never been so disappointed, you are under my protection, you don't seek to grow, you have reached the point where you have to sacrifice your family in exchange for wealth."
After a pause, Old Man Liu continued: "The ancients, the son does not learn, the father's fault is that I spoil you too much. But people, for a lifetime, money is not everything, you can earn it if you don't have it, but if you ruin it for a lifetime, it's gone. ”
"Jiayan is my granddaughter, your niece, now you can ask her if she is willing to marry into the Yue family?" Old Man Liu pointed at Liu Jiayan and said slowly.
"This child has lost her parents since she was a child, but what you do to her, you know it in your own hearts, now that the Liu family has declined, you will think of her, but you are thinking about how to push her into the fire pit!" The more Old Man Liu spoke, the more angry he became, and his emotions became more and more excited.
"Over the years, you have almost never cared about me, my father, this grandfather, and only Jiayan, the child, has often accompanied me. I'm afraid you're thinking all the time, when I'm going to suddenly lose my breath, and then you can divide up the property. Old man Liu felt very sad in his heart, he lived to his age and fought for them all his life, while his children and grandchildren were looking forward to hanging up all the time.
In fact, there is another thing that he has been forcibly hiding in his heart, and this matter has always been a pain in his heart that cannot be erased. The deaths of his eldest son and daughter-in-law were not the work of outsiders, but of his children.
No father wants to see his offspring kill each other, and this kind of thing makes Old Man Liu extremely heartbroken and extremely discouraged.
Therefore, he made a decision, and this decision also led to the rapid decline of the Liu family.
Except for the old man, no one knows the reason for the decline of the Liu family, that is, the old man Liu did it on purpose!
