After Mitsuki Kudo and the other four sent away Masao Ishihara, they separated. She and her mother, Wakana Kudo, returned to their home in Odaiba, Minato-ku, while Shuichi Kudo and Mika Kudo returned to the five-star Karuizawa Hotel where they were staying.

As soon as Mitsuki Kudo got home, she said to her mother, "Mom, you have always been quite measured. Why did things come to Xiuyi, and you lost your sense of proportion? ”

Kudo Wakana knew that her daughter was blaming herself for not taking the initiative to ask Masao Ishihara for Shuichi, and she wanted to work hard as a reward for Karuizawa.

She sat on the couch in the living room and laughed disapprovingly: "Your father didn't say anything about me at the time, but you still talked about me."

I have served your father and your siblings for so many years, even if there is no merit, there is hard work. Otherwise, there is fatigue. What's wrong with me asking your dad for something? ”

Mitsuki Kudo sat on her mother's right side and said seriously, "Is that a little request?" Even I think you're going too far. ”

Wakana Kudo suddenly said with a serious expression: "Don't talk about this one thing." This year's Obon Festival, I'm going back to Wakayama City.

When I go back to my hometown, I not only want to buy a cemetery with good feng shui, but also to relocate and repair the ancestral grave of our Kudo family. You have to go back to your hometown with me, too? ”

Kudo Mitsuki really didn't expect that her mother planned to go back to her hometown this time not only to worship her ancestors, but also to build a private cemetery belonging to the Kudo family: "Don't go."

Wakayama City is your hometown, not mine. I was born in Nagano City, Nagano Prefecture, and that's my hometown. ”

Kudo Wakana said seriously: "From your maternal grandparents' generation upwards, our Kudo family can be said to have been ordinary people for generations. It was only on top of my generation that it completely turned over.

Tonight, your dad has made it clear that he will support Shuichi's candidacy for the next city councilor in Wakayama City. It also means that Xiuyi can definitely be a person.

What does this mean? Your brother will be a true statesman from now on. Or rather, it really opened the way to becoming a professional politician.

As for the next thing, Shuichi will definitely become the mayor of Wakayama City sooner or later. According to what was said before the Meiji Restoration, this would be considered a daimyō.

The surname Kudo in Wakayama City will have to be inherited and carried forward by your younger brother. Besides, there will always be a day when you die. When you die, where are you buried?

The private cemetery of the Ishihara family in Karuizawa, that is absolutely impossible. Finally, you don't have to be buried in the private cemetery of our Kudo family in Wakayama City. ”

Mitsuki Kudo never thought about where she would be buried when she died. She and her mother's feudal remnants of thinking are out of place: "Even if I die in the future, I will be buried in Tokyo." ”

Kudo Wakana has her set of theories and says: "According to your appearance, nine times out of ten, you will not get married and have children." If this is to die alone, it is really too bleak. In the future, no one will come to worship you at Obon Festival.

If you are buried in the private cemetery of our Kudo family in Wakayama City, as long as there are descendants in our family, and there are filial sons and grandchildren, someone will naturally come to pay your respects.

Anyway, you're also the daughter of the Kudo family. You have also contributed a lot to creating a new family chapter for the Kudo family.

Your extraordinary achievements in this life, is it possible that you don't want the descendants of our Kudo family to take you as an example and be proud? ”

Mitsuki Kudo put her left palm on her forehead and said, "Mom, you look like you are too much like an upstart." Once the nouveau riche has money, then they will inevitably build ancestral graves in a big way. ”

Kudo Wakana has made up his mind and said: "The nouveau riche will be the nouveau riche." Countless people in this world can't become nouveau riche! ”

Kudo Mitsuki couldn't help but persuade him: "Before, did you discuss this idea with Shuichi and Mika?" ”

Wakana Kudo said truthfully: "Shuichi completely agrees with my idea. As for Mei Xiang, what do I have to discuss with her? If it weren't for your mother, I looked down on her, if it weren't for your father's support for her father, her family would have fallen into the middle of the road.

She will not be the daughter of a mayor, but the daughter of a broken family. I think about it calmly now, I was really hot-headed at the beginning, so I agreed to the marriage of the two families.

Actually, in my opinion, your brother Shuichi should be able to find a better wife. Even if it's the daughter of the governor of Wakayama Prefecture, it's entirely possible. ”

Kudo Mitsuki suddenly cried and laughed: "Mom, when did you become such a philistine?" ”

Kudo Wakana didn't blindly defend herself: "The stage in the past was different, and the stage today is different.

How many of the people I've come into contact with over the years since I moved from Karuizawa to Tokyo are unscrupulous, uninspired, and hypocritical?

Life is like a play, it all depends on acting skills. If you should be cowardly, you should be hard, and you should be pretending. In the world of adults, it's all about acting.

If Shuichi's biological father is not Masao Ishihara, the chairman of the Karuizawa Group, one of Japan's top ten chaebols, but an employee of a small company.

Do you think the Mika family will take a fancy to your brother? Even if Xiuyi became a secretary to her father, he would not really train him, and would only see him as a servant who could be called around at will. ”

Mitsuki Kudo was still a little surprised to see her say such a profound remark. She smiled meaningfully and said, "Mom, you and Xiuyi have both grown. ”

Kudo Wakana said: "Your mother's stupidity is compared to your father, your sister and brother, and it's not really stupid."

Over the years, I dare not say that I have seen any big world, and I dare to say that I have seen many small worlds of all kinds. Not to mention ordinary salarymen, even those in the upper middle class, who are not as well-informed as I am.

I've eaten at more Michelin-starred restaurants, I've been to more countries, I've spent more high-end shopping, and so on. ”

Mitsuki Kudo knows in her heart, although what her mother said is vulgar, but those things can really bring people a kind of confidence.

Otherwise, small white-collar workers will not save money sparingly, or even buy a luxury bag in installments. And traveling more, especially abroad, can indeed increase one's knowledge.

I see a lot, eat a lot, and use a lot...... Naturally, it will have an impact on people subtly. At the very least, have confidence. That's how my mother was affected. Otherwise, she would never dare to say such a thing.
