Chapter XXXIV Wills

He apologized shamelessly: "Uncle, I'm sorry!

I never knew about this past, and I say sorry to you on behalf of my mother.

I know that the hurt is already there, especially since my grandfather can't hear it......

Uncle, I'm still your nephew, and you and I will still be a family in the future, right? ”

Zhou Zizhong raised his hand and touched Gu Wentao's head, he had long lost the righteous indignation just now, and said calmly: "You have always been my nephew, and you have never changed!" Besides, what do those old sesame seeds and rotten grains between our elders have to do with you? Even if you knew it before, what can you do at such a young age?

Now, when you have grown up, you understand the truth, you know the truth, you can have a correct attitude, and you recognize me as an uncle, this is the most gratifying thing for me. ”

Gu Wentao felt that their family owed the Zhou family too much, and said solemnly with guilt: "Uncle, in the future, I will honor you well!" ”

"Okay, your filial piety, I see it!" Zhou Zizhong breathed a long sigh of relief, a lot more relaxed, and said, "Wait, I'll bring you something to see." ”

As he spoke, Zhou Zizhong got up and carefully took out a rectangular locked box from the bottom of the locked drawer under his desk.

He carefully took it, put it on the coffee table, wiped his hands with a clean towel, put on white gloves, and then opened the box.

The inside of the box is wrapped in white fine silk, with several pieces of paper in the middle.

Zhou Zizhong carefully took out the paper, spread it out, and let Gu Wentao go over to look at it.

Gu Wentao was so frightened by Zhou Zizhong's solemn appearance that he didn't dare to breathe, and looked over with bated breath.

The paper has been a little yellow, and the one on it is still written with a brush, and the authentic regular script, which is very neat and standardized, can be used as a copybook, which makes people copy.

Gu Wentao read it carefully, only to find that this was a will, to be exact, a list of inheritances.

The one above, at the very beginning, reads:

"Testator: Zhou Chang

I am very old, and now I am witnessed by Sun Licheng and my son Zhou Zizhong of a law firm and make this will.

The legacy to my name is as follows:

1、……

2、……

The first part was inherited by my son Zhou Zizhong, and the second part was inherited by my grandson Gu Wentao when he became an adult. ”

Finally, there is the signature of Zhou Zizhong and the lawyer, as well as the date of making the will.

Looking at that date, it was almost a year earlier than the date of his grandfather's death that Gu Wentao knew.

It can be seen that his grandfather had the idea of leaving him an inheritance very early, and made this decision early when he was not sick and was very conscious.

This value and affection for him is as heavy as Mount Tai.

Because of maintaining a movement for a long time, his legs were numb, but he stood straight and looked very solemn.

"Uncle, I can't ask for these things. I didn't know it before, but now I know it, and I won't accept anything other than gratitude and respect for you and grandpa.

I haven't been with my grandfather for a day since I was a child, and I have only now begun to get close to you, uncle, and I have no right to accept this will. ”

Zhou Zizhong smiled and said, "Wen Tao, when your grandfather hears your words, he knows it underground, and he will be very relieved and happy."

Just by what you just said, you can see your sincerity and calmness, and for us, that is enough.

If you feel deserved, you will come to your uncle's house more often in the future and get closer to your brother Zhiyuan.

As long as this affection is there, these things outside the body are not to be worried.

Speaking of which, I only told you now, and it was also instructed by your grandfather before his death, I hope you don't blame your uncle and me for this.

Your grandfather is reluctant to leave his things to your mother, not only because she broke their hearts back then, but also because she is afraid that with these things in her hands, her mind will be even more wrong.

If you don't give it to you earlier, you are afraid that you will be too young, too close to your mother, and blindly trust her, and will directly let her keep these things, so your grandfather set a standard: either when you get married and become truly independent, or, when you no longer blindly trust your mother and begin to have independent thoughts.

I didn't expect that when you were only sixteen years old, you would leave your mother to live alone in Kyoto.

Seeing that you can really understand things and distinguish between right and wrong, I can also leave these things to you with confidence. ”

Gu Wentao clenched into fists, struggling in his heart.

He is still young, and he has always followed Zhou Zizhen's arrangement when he grows so big, and he has not experienced many setbacks.

However, Zeng Yirou's incident suddenly revealed the true face of his peaceful life, and he had to start thinking about life again, and began to think about his relatives and friends around him with a new eye.

Gradually, he discovered a lot of problems.

For example, whether it is an adult or a friend, most of them hold him, whether he is wrong or out of line, in the eyes of others, it is right.

For another example, those who flatter his mother and want to do things earlier than his mother, and praise him for those words to be more heartless and heartless, why did he feel that this was normal before?

……

He didn't know if these so-called problems were really problems, but he gradually got used to it, and silently began to think about how he should face it.

This time, he took the initiative to find his uncle Gu Dexin and asked to stay in Kyoto.

He needs to jump out of the closed circle that Zhou Zizhen has planned for him and is only willing to let him see the good things, and he will start to understand this society and life again.

Before, he only regarded Zhou Zizhong as a small experience for him to start over, not because he had much affection for him.

Now, I was deeply hit by this strange feeling in the softest place in my heart.

It turned out that without Zhou Zizhen's "shelter", he could encounter so many beautiful things.

For example, now, as long as Zhou Zizhong doesn't take out these things and gives the lawyer hush money, in fact, he can keep this part of the property privately.

But he didn't hesitate to present it all in front of him.

This honesty and respect is what his parents have never given him since he was a child.

"Uncle, you are my relative, and my aunt and brother Zhiyuan have always been my relatives, and this will never change with me."

Gu Wentao said loudly as if he had sworn an oath.

Zhou Zizhong looked at Gu Wentao so affectionately, and regarded himself as his most trusted relative without any ambiguity, and his eyes were a little red.

I also felt a little guilty in my heart.

It would be impossible to say that he did not have the slightest selfishness.
