Chapter 64: A Family

Hearing the words of the eldest brother Zheng Yunhong, Zheng Yuntu didn't react for a while, patted his head and said in confusion: "You have an illegitimate child outside?" How can you have the surname Sue? ”

Zheng Yunhong was stunned, and then laughed angrily: "You are really confused by e-liquid, my illegitimate son will call you uncle?" ”

Maternal uncle is a dialect in the Whampoa area, also called uncle, which means mother's brother.

"Yes, your bastard should also be called my uncle." Zheng Yuntu rubbed his nose, looked at the cigarette gun in front of him and said to himself, "Is it really that he smoked too many cigarettes and even his memory has deteriorated?" How come I don't remember that our brother had other sister relatives? ”

Zheng Yunhong shook his head and said a name to Zheng Yuntu: "Zheng Liru, do you remember?" ”

The second Zheng Yuntu rubbed his temples, muttering these three words in his mouth, and his face showed a look of thought.

After a long time, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he looked at his eldest brother Zheng Yunhong and blurted out: "You mean the sick ghost back then, Gui Zhizhi's daughter?" ”

The boss Zheng Yunhong sneered: "I can't imagine that twenty or thirty years have passed, and you still remember the name Gui Zhizhi, I thought you had forgotten it a long time ago." ”

"Big brother, do you mean that the boss of China Hong Kong Daily is Gui Zhizhi's grandson?" Zheng Yuntu showed a stunned look on his face, and then shook his head in disbelief, "Impossible, Gui Zhizhi's daughter left the Zheng family at the beginning, even if she didn't starve to death, her son is only in his teens and twenties now, how can he be the boss of China Hong Kong Daily?" ”

Zheng Yunhong slapped the walnut in his hand on the table, and said with a smile: "I didn't believe it at first, I originally wanted to check whether the China and Hong Kong Daily had anything to do with the Indian Shahari, but I didn't expect to find out about it, I can only say that Hong Kong is really fucking small!" ”

The woman Gui Zhizhi mentioned by the two is Zheng Liru's biological mother and the grandmother of Su Jingxian, the owner of China Hong Kong Daily.

The signboard of Zheng Ji Weaving Factory has been around for a long time, and it was not created by the two brothers Zheng Yunhong and Zheng Yuntu, but in the hands of their father Zheng Wengui. However, at that time, Zheng Ji Weaving Factory was still rooted in Huangpu Beach, and it was far from being as big as it is now, and it was barely rich.

In 1911, when the old shopkeeper Zheng Wengui was forty years old, he was seriously ill and bedridden.

It's a pity that Chongxi couldn't save Zheng Wengui's life, and in the second year of Nagui Zhizhi's concubine, Zheng Wengui returned to the West. After his death, the Zheng family was in charge of the family by the eldest wife, and the two sons of the eldest wife are now the Zheng brothers.

And as the concubine Gui Zhizhi who married into the door because of Chongxi, after the death of the old shopkeeper, she naturally suffered from the white eyes at home, when Gui Zhizhi was already a few months pregnant, but she was still driven by the eldest lady to live in a thatched house that did not break the wind and rain, fortunately her mother's family still has relatives, and she did not die of cold and starvation under the help.

At the end of the same year, after Gui Zhizhi gave birth to a daughter, because she fell ill during the fetus, she went with the old shopkeeper Zheng Wengui before the Spring Festival.

At the end of the twenties, an unprecedented economic crisis broke out in Europe and the United States, affecting Guangzhou and Huangpu, which had close economic relations with the West.

After arriving in Hong Kong, because there were too many people, in order to save expenses, the eldest lady successively dismissed a group of domestic slave employees who followed her, including her daughter Zheng Liru, who had long been displeasing to her eyes.

At that time, Zheng Liru was only fifteen years old, and she was penniless after being kicked out of the Zheng family, and she was not in the Zheng family, but she was used to doing rough work since she was a child, so she could rely on the dock to sew and wash clothes for the coolie workers to earn a few pennies to eat, but she could also make a living.

Such a hard life lasted for almost a year, and then Zheng Liru met a Chaozhou coolie named Su Shoucai on the wharf, and the two hard-working people slowly came together, got married and had children, and after saving enough money, they jointly ran a small Xinglong rice shop, and gave birth to two brothers, Su Jingxian and Su Jingliang.

At this time, hearing the words of the eldest brother, Zheng Yuntu believed that the world was such a coincidence.

The half-sister who was kicked out of the house now has a promising son, the owner of the China Hong Kong Daily who advertises for Indians in the newspaper.

"Book that! Our little nephew doesn't help his mother-in-law, but turns his head to help the Indians? Zheng Yuntu didn't smile, glanced at his eldest brother Zheng Yunhong, and said happily, "You and your mother kicked Zheng Liru out of the house at the beginning, and this matter has nothing to do with me." ”

The boss Zheng Yunhong glared at Zheng Yuntu when he heard this, but did not speak.

The eldest lady naturally had long been unaccustomed to seeing her daughter Zheng Liru, but Zheng Yunhong was selfish, lest after the reopening of Zheng Ji Weaving Factory in Hong Kong, this blood-related sister proposed to divide the family property, and was worried that she would have to pay an extra dowry when she married in the future, so she simply spoke with the eldest wife and drove her out of the door on the grounds that the rations were not enough.

Zheng Yuntu stretched his neck and yawned: "Having said that, this little nephew is capable, aren't you afraid that he will free up his hands to seek justice for Gui Zhizhi and Zheng Liru, and turn his head to deal with the Zheng family?" ”

"Why is he? Just a tabloid shop? Zheng Yunhong, the current big boss of Zheng Ji Weaving Factory, sneered, thought about it and said, "But since Zheng Liru gave birth to a good son, we brothers and sisters should also move around, didn't the Indian Shahali advertise in the China and Hong Kong Daily?" We do it too, and we do it on a regular basis! ”

Zheng Yuntu looked at the eldest brother with a puzzled face, and sniffled: "You smoke too much second-hand opium?" ”

Outside the door, the old mother who had loaded Zheng Yuntu with a smoking gun walked into the house with two bowls of ice chip soup.

Zheng Yunhong ignored the second child, stretched out his hand to take the soup bowl, looked at the old mother's face full of wind and frost wrinkles in front of him, and pretended to say with emotion: "Mother Zhang, after so many years, do you still remember Miss Liru?" In fact, I've been looking for her for the past few years, and now I've finally found her! ”

When the elderly Zhang's mother heard this, her hand shook, and another bowl of ice cream soup in her hand spilled a small half.

"Alas! After all, it was my mother's fault, and I could only obey her old man as a son, and now the old lady has passed away, and after all, it is also a family, I just chatted with Yuntu, and he is also very concerned about this sister who left home early. Zheng Yunhong saw Zhang's mother's reaction in his eyes, sighed again and continued, "I know that Liru has been close to you since she was a child, and now the life at home is much better, in a few days, you can bring some gifts to visit her and the two young masters, and by the way, ask her when she will move back to live, if there are difficulties in life, just ask, after all, they are all family, brothers and sisters!" ”
